When K9 arrived on Tellus, he was immediately shot through tubes, along conveyors, up escalators, down gravity shafts -and into the office of the president of Tellac Inc.

Above the whole complex rose a vast dome. Beyond it, the thick yellow factory smoke filled the air.
There were no trees on Tellus. Even the grass was plastic.
