'Nonsense,' said Misk. 'But perhaps I shall show you the Scanning Room someday. We have four hundred Priest-Kings who operate the scanners, and we are accordingly well informed. For example, if there is a violation of our weapons laws we usually, sooner or later, discover it and after determining the coordinates put into effect the Flame Death Mechanism.' Priest-Kings of gor, page 125
“I once saw a man die the Flame Death,” I said. “Is that mechanism also in this room?” “Yes,” said Sarm, indicating with one foreleg a quiet-looking metal cabinet to one side possessing several dials and knobs. “The projection points for the Flame Death are located in the surveillance craft,” said Sarm, “but the coordinates are fixed and the firing signal is relayed from this room. The system is synchronized, or course, with the scanning apparatus and may be activated from any of the control panels at the observation cubes.” Priest-Kings of Gor, pages 135-136
