As soon as the Space Navy captain had finished, he said: "Captain Greibenfeld, I want to thank you and your people for taking care of the Fuzzies, and I'm very glad you learned how to hear what they're saying, and thank you for all the nice things you gave them, but why couldn't you have let me know they were safe? I haven't been very happy the last month, you know." "I know that, Mr.
"Does anybody want to ask the witness any questions?" the Chief Justice was asking. "I don't," Captain Greibenfeld said. "Do you, Lieutenant?" "No, I don't think so," Lieutenant Ybarra said. "Dr. Mallin's given us a very lucid statement of his opinions." He had, at that, after he'd decided he couldn't beat the veridicator. Jack found himself sympathizing with Mallin.
Gerd van Riebeek was looking chagrined; Ernst Mallin was smirking. Gus Brannhard, however, was pleased. "Jack, they haven't any more damn definition than we do," he whispered. Captain Greibenfeld, who had seated himself after rising at the request of the court, was on his feet again. "Your Honors, during the past month we at Xerxes Naval Base have been working on exactly that problem.
"You will all have noticed the presence of a number of officers from Xerxes Naval Base, and I suppose you have all heard that Commodore Napier has assumed control of the civil government. Captain Greibenfeld, will you please rise and be seen?
Greibenfeld nodded, and a deputy marshal opened the door on the right of the bench. Two spacemen came in, carrying cartons. One went up to the bench; the other started around in front of the tables, distributing small battery-powered hearing aids. "Please put them in your ears and turn them on," he said. "Thank you." Baby Fuzzy tried to get Jack's.
However, before we begin discussing it, I would like the court's permission to present a demonstration which may be of help in understanding the problems involved." "Captain Greibenfeld has already discussed this demonstration with me, and it has my approval. Will you please proceed, Captain," the Chief Justice said.
Then he picked up his pipe and knocked the heel out into the ashtray. Nobody said anything. He began packing tobacco into the bowl. "Well, gentlemen?" He invited comment. "Pancho?" Captain Conrad Greibenfeld, the Exec., turned to Lieutenant Ybarra, the chief psychologist. "How reliable is this stuff?" Ybarra asked.
As for this so-called trick of using a lighter, Little Fuzzy we didn't know his name then and referred to him as M2 learned that for himself, by observation. We didn't teach him to smoke a pipe either; he knew that before we had anything to do with him." Jack rose while Greibenfeld was still speaking.
And supersession of civil authority was completely against Service Doctrine. Of course, there were other and more important tenets of Service Doctrine. The sovereignty of the Terran Federation for one, and the inviolability of the Federation Constitution. And the rights of extraterrestrials, too. Conrad Greibenfeld, too, seemed to have been thinking about that.
As to this trick of using a lighter, I will undertake, in not more than thirty days, to teach it to any Terran primate or Freyan kholph." Greibenfeld rose immediately.
