"Chee-chee!" A startled voice came out of the speaker: "What's that?" "Chee," said Murgatroyd zestfully. The communicator was talking to him. Murgatroyd adored three things, in order. One was Calhoun. The second was coffee. The third was pretending to converse like a human being. The speaker said explosively, "You there, identify yourself!" "Chee-chee-chee-chee!" observed Murgatroyd.
He made what for him was practically an oration. The last voice spoke persuasively and suavely. "Chee-chee-chee-chee," said Murgatroyd. One of the grain ships flickered and ceased to be. It had gone into overdrive. Another. And another. Suddenly they began to flick out of sight by twos and threes. "Chee," said Murgatroyd with a note of finality. The last grain ship vanished.
The speaker said explosively; "You there, identify yourself!" "Chee-chee-chee-chee!" observed Murgatroyd. He wriggled with pleasure and added, reasonably enough, "Chee!" The communicator bawled; "Calling ground! Calling ground! Listen to this! Something that ain't human's talking at me on a communicator! Listen in an' tell me what to do!" Murgatroyd interposed with another shrill; "Chee!"
The booming voice bellowed. Another voice of higher authority took over. Murgatroyd was entranced that so many people wanted to talk to him. He made what for him was practically an oration. The last voice spoke persuasively and suavely. "Chee-chee-chee-chee," said Murgatroyd. One of the grain-ships flickered and ceased to be. It had gone into overdrive. Another. And another.
