See above, p. 116. It is a satisfaction to know that Alice died "impenitent," and that not even her children could "move her to confesse." See above, pp. 112-113, and Potts, Q-Q verso. See Potts, I. It can hardly be doubted that the children had been thoroughly primed with the stories in circulation against their mother. Other witnesses charged her with "many strange practises."
It seems possible that Doctor Fayle's failure to appear indicates that League Headquarters does not consider the project a sufficiently safe place for 112-113." "Why don't you ask Headquarters?" Trigger suggested. They stirred nervously. "That would be a violation of the Principle of the Chain of Command, Miss Farn!" Rak explained. "Oh," she said. The Juniors were overdisciplined, all right.
One of the Junior Scientists on your Project mentioned the 112-113 unit. That brought it to mind. Is this 113?" "No," said Holati Tate. "But it appears to be a duplicate of it." He was a mild-looking little man, well along in years, sparse and spruce in his Precol uniform.
The main item in his report to her had been the significance of the 112-113 plasmoid unit. He'd also reported that Trigger Argee had become unconscious on Harvest Moon. They'd considered the possibility that somebody was controlling Trigger Argee, or attempting to control her, because of her connections with the plasmoid operations.
"It was a complete and detailed report!" "True," Holati said, "but the report the U-League got didn't happen to be the one Professor Mantelish helped make up. We'll go into that later. The plasmoid the professor was experimenting with was the 112-113 unit." He shifted his gaze to Mantelish. "Still want me to tell it?" "Yes, yes!" Mantelish said impatiently.
It then reshaped itself into a copy of the predecessor, and remained where it was. Obviously a replacement. There was dignified scientific jubilation among the three. This was precisely the kind of information the U-League and everybody else had been hoping to obtain. 112-113 tentatively could be assumed to be a kind of monitor of the station's activities.
One must assume that the victimized laboratories also had been regarded as raidproof." Trigger admitted it was a reasonable assumption. "There is another matter," Rak went on. "When we arrived here, we understood Doctor Gess Fayle was to bring Plasmoid Unit 112-113 to this project.
So Balmordan and a select group of his gunmen had attended Pluly's party on Pluly's yacht. They had been allowed to force their way into the sealed level and were there caught in a black-light trap. The gunmen had been killed. Balmordan had been questioned. The questioning revealed that the Devagas had found Doctor Fayle and the 112-113 unit, almost immediately after Fayle's disappearance.
Gess Fayle: Lyad had been looking for Doctor Fayle as earnestly as everyone else after his disappearance. She had not been able to buy him. So far as she knew, nobody had been able to buy him. Doctor Fayle had appeared to intend to work for himself. He was at present well outside the Hub's area of space. He still had 112-113 with him.
That Repulsive thing of yours is another." "What about him?" "I have a pretty strong feeling," he said, "that while they'll probably find the hierarchy in that Devagas dome, they won't find the 112-113 item there." "So Lyad still is gambling," Trigger said. "And we're gambling we'll get more out of her next play than she does." She hesitated. "Holati " "Yes?"
