Extricated

The man extricated Ellie from a dangerous situation.

Then the herdsman and Chloe, holding the other end of the cord, placed themselves at the edge of the pit, and pulled as strongly as they could, whilst Daphnis climbed up as well as he was able, and at last was extricated from his prison.

Dorcon, the herdsman, who had extricated Daphnis and the goat from the pit, a young fellow upon whose chin the first down was just sprouting, had already, on the occasion of that meeting, become enamoured of Chloe, and his passion for her increased day by day.

Bratislav, of Croatian ancestry, is not a sci-fi fan, but he is intrigued by my anecdotes about Piers Anthony's Cluster stories about spy technology wherein the astral body can be extricated out of the physical body and transmigrated into a physical body of an extraterrestrial on some distant world, or about Arthur C. Clarke's novel Imperial Earth wherein the Makenzie (no "c") family become wealthy by mining methane on Saturn's moon Titan and propagate themselves generationally by cloning, the clone cloning himself. Bratislav's ufology is not like my sci-fi. Sci-fi is fictional dramatization, but Bratislav is looking for something factual in ufology. He is searching for a reality.
