“ Jeremy tuned in on the thought and sight wave of the Instructor. Before him was a creature that he could not remember creating."You remember this creature, Student Hovah?""No, Instructor.""But it must be yours. The entire facsimile is tuned to your wavelength. We have checked. Only you could have brought it into being; only you can destroy it. You know it is against the rules to increase the number of species in Creation. Destroy it!"Jeremy looked at the creature so comfortably asleep against a tree and he felt pity and compassion and love for it. ”

Quotes from Test Problem (Alan J. Ramm)
“ Gradually his confidence grew. Under the direction of his flashing fingers, the energy machines created a warp in the space of his sector. At exactly the correct moment he adjusted the wavelength of his Thought Augmentor until it matched the thought matrix of his own mind. The full impact of his tremendous mental abilities jolted into the space warp. ”
“ You have been alloted sector 2645 of space in parsec three."In the next ten minutes we shall transmit a detailed study of a star system to you. Using only the raw materials of space and the mental techniques taught you in your studies, you will reproduce a reasonable facsimile of the system in the space sector you have been assigned. Have you any questions?""How complete a facsimile must it be, Instructor?""It must be reasonably correct as to physical makeup. All life forms must also be reproduced." ”
