by John Vornholt p.36 "Come on, Data, there isn't more than a teaspoon of Corzanium in the whole Federation. It has to be quantum-stepped out of a black hole with a tractor beam run through a metaphasic shield enhancer." --Geordi LaForge p.66 Sam fought the temptation to ask this advanced being why it was so important to conquer the Alpha Quadrant. He supposed it was the same arrogance that had driven the Europeans to conquer the Americas or the Cardassians to conquer Bajor--a certainty of their moral and intellectual superiority. p.198-199 "To begin with, the Corzanium is extremely volatile until we quantum-step it beyond the event horizon and recombine it in the chamber. The sequence goes like this: Using the tractor beam, we lower the mining probe into the black hole just above the event horizon. Then we bombard the hole with tachyons, which charges the terms of probability and quantum-steps the particles, expelling them in the process. You might compare this to drilling in a typical mining operation. Now we have escaping matter which we can guide into the probe with a tractor beam. Then we beam the probe on board and put it in stairs. "After that, Mr. Woil, you work your magic and transfer the ore from the stasis field into the recom chamber. Then it's just like any other metal, except that it has a unique resistance to gravity." --Grof p.220 "t'ar'Fe": A Romulan curse of some sort.
