Boone flipped onto auto and looked downrange. There were [[GC]] insignias out in force: dozens of [[Eagle squad|Eagle Squad]] pilots floated lazily below him, gliding on the thermals above their coverage sectors. | Boone flipped onto auto and looked downrange.

Five klicks to the west, Boone could see [[Ziffer von Rechnung|von Rechnung]]’s giant dirigible ascending through the diaphanous smear of micro-risk. A smarm of rainbow-coloured compliance drones milled about the great hulk, like a flotilla of pleasure craft welcoming a warship back from battle. Millions of tiny electrical currents arced here and there from the drones, drawing energy from the air and funnelling it into the grid. It was a brilliant, placid, beautiful perpetual motion machine. | {{tableright|{{image|Dirigible Hoverbot|png|''von Rechnung’s giant dirigible ascended through a diaphanous smear of micro-risk'', {{vsr|1963}}}}}}Five klicks to the west, Boone could see [[Ziffer von Rechnung|von Rechnung]]’s giant dirigible ascending through the diaphanous smear of micro-risk.

''This is extraordinary. It is systematically harnessing the flaring, explosive, unpredictable energy represented by the swarming micro-risk haze, [[taxonomy]]-modulating it, vol-dampening it and piping it into the dirigible’s giant finance cores as stable, safe, clean accounting value. They had domesticated risk. Broken it, harnessed it and were now drawing power from it.'' | ''This is extraordinary.
