Quotes 

• [about Blake] 

  Dr. Havant : Can't he be eliminated?

  Alta Morag : No, he's a symbol of opposition to the Administration.

  Dr. Havant : So?

  Ven Glynd : We've done cross-sectional psych readings, which show that a high percentage of people, particularly the younger ones, believe that Blake's trial was a showpiece, that his statements were rigged.

  Alta Morag : His death could be used by the dissidents. They need a hero. Alive or dead, Blake could be it.

  Dr. Havant : Difficult. I suppose my department could infect him, some rapidly terminal disease. Would his natural death help?

  Ven Glynd : I don't think so.

  Alta Morag : What we need is something to discredit him. If he could be deported to Cygnus Alpha. ... Doctor, am I right in thinking you can create experiences, implant them into a subject, who will then believe that they really happened?

  Dr. Havant : Of course. In fact, creating an illusion of reality is quite simple.

  Alta Morag : Good. Then I think we can totally destroy Blake's credibility and get him sentenced.
