Once it's there, we won't be able to use the Traveller engine without destroying this... vortex generator.'

If she'd checked the running specs of the vortex generator she'd have known that they were redundant.

Readings showed that the vortex generator, the only drive presently available to it, was incrementally winding down.

They'd hit it, what, six times thus far, and had still failed to take out the vortex generator.

All we would then need is the tensioning device, which, the moment the interactions begin, would become a vortex generator.'

All the while Alex remained in the transformer room doing no damage, the vortex generator was winding up to speed.

The only possible way Ghort could now affect their chances would be if he attempted to destroy the vortex generator.

Did the tension seeming to lace the very air demonstrate that the vortex generator's effect on space-time was somehow against nature?

He moved them instead to an armoured case within the new armour placed around the vortex generator inside the old station ring.'

There you'll find a maintenance tunnel under the vortex generator, which will bring you out in what remains of the Arboretum endcap.

Hence the orders for Rhine's vortex generator to be built, and the subsequent course changes -these decisions were made inside that partition.'

She glimpsed the vortex generator over to her right, where walls had been taken out and the station substructure adjusted to accommodate it.

Saul made direct adjustments to the vortex generator that effectively turned the warp through a hundred and eighty degrees, then shut down the drive.

For a moment Saul thought it had proved ineffective, but the massive coils of the power system of the vortex generator must have been damaged.

Saul allowed that overrun, since it did not slow down the vortex generator start-up test, and the mercury might be useful later, should they survive.

'You didn't think the vortex generator would work without it, did you?'
