A Multitude of Idols (1988)

Richard Comar: Advocate #1

Quotes 

• Advocate #3 : The logistics of this operation are complex.

  Advocate #1 : Complex or not, our war can be won if we are able to move among the Earthlings undetected.

  Advocate #2 : Be thankful that they're childishly casual with their nuclear materials. Stealing what we need should pose no problem.

  Advocate #3 : True, but we still haven't found a secure location to revive more of our sleeping brethren.

  Advocate #1 : Nor do we have an adequate supply of suitable humans whose bodies we might use.

  Advocate #2 : One problem at a time, comrades! It's a puzzle with many pieces. We deal with the nuclear materials first.

• Advocate #3 : The town they call Beeton seems tailor-made for our purposes.

  Advocate #1 : Away from their cities, off their main highways...

  Advocate #2 : And best of all, it's completely abandoned.

  Advocate #3 : The place called Beeton won't be abandoned for long, comrades. We must begin transporting the burial drums containing our sleeping brethren to this location immediately.

  Advocate #1 : The puzzle is almost complete.

  Advocate #2 : Yes, except for the last most important piece: we still need human bodies... many human bodies.

• Advocate #2 : For once, everything is proceeding according to plan.

  Advocate #1 : Yes, with new human hosts arriving every hour.

  Advocate #3 : These pathetic Earthlings have even less intelligence than our own planet's vegetation!

  Advocate #1 : Our own planet. If only we could see it one last time...

  Advocate #2 : Erase those thoughts from your mind, comrade. Our planet is already well into its final death rattle.

  Advocate #3 : You must remember that this planet is our home now.

  Advocate #2 : As it will be home to those on the way. Our colonists are relying upon us to be strong.

  Advocate #3 : The three of us.

  Advocate #1 : Of course. I must remember to deal with what is, not with what might have been. I appreciate your patience, comrades. My lapse will not be repeated.

  Advocate #3 : We have much to be grateful for. Within 24 hours, we will have increased our numbers by two-fold.

  Advocate #1 : Perhaps we should inform those on the way of our progress.

  Advocate #2 : Yes, they will be pleased... very pleased.
