Rouvarataz's Moment Of Realization

"In The Shadow."

Rouvarataz thinks:

"Let me charge my enemy head on." (p. 103)

Then he thinks:

"Charge!" (ibid.)

Then:

"An oath tore from him. Wheeler asked what he meant. Rouvaratz ignored the question, scarcely heard. His lips moved with unspoken calculation and he stared out at the stars like a blind man." (ibid.)

We recognize all the signs of an Andersonian moment of realization. And maybe there is a subset of such moments, those that are triggered by a single word? In another story, Webner tells Turekian to:

"'...take the supercharger off your imagination.'"

-Poul Anderson, "Wings of Victory" IN Anderson, The Van Rijn Method (Riverdale, NY, 2009), pp. 75-102 AT p. 98.

At this:

"The other man froze where he stood.

"'Aram.' Yukiko seized his arm. He stared beyond her. 'What's wrong?'

"He shook himself. 'Supercharger,' he mumbled. 'By God, yes.'" (ibid.)

Yes, we realize that he has realized something. We will be told what it is in due course.
