Mantelish, for all his idiosyncrasies, is undoubtedly the greatest living biologist in the League. And the Plasmoid Project here at the school is without question the League's most important current undertaking." "So I've been told," said Trigger. "That's why I want to find out what's gone haywire with it." "In a moment," Plemponi said. "In a moment."

It jarred suddenly then was quiet. He allowed ten minutes to pass, then he cut off the drive and allowed the ship to go into free fall. Morey's voice came over the intercom. "Arcot, things are really busted up down here! We had to haywire half the drive together." "I'll be right down. Every instrument on the ship seems to be out of kilter!"

This would effectively push the crocs from the deep water onto the land. But the best of plans can go haywire and, instead, the reverse started happening. The crocs from the land started coming into the water colliding with those being driven out by us. Thereafter there was general commotion in the water and all the crocs started thrashing about. One almost got my neighbour's hand.

And Mike, when I get ready to test this thing, I'm going to pray to my ancestors and also ask you to turn off as many magnetic gadgets as you safely can." Mike was squatting on his heels by the haywire rig, built into what looked suspiciously like a chassis extracted from one of the standard control consoles of the communication department.

Vidac wouldn't do the things he's done, unless he's got a rocket-blasting good reason!" Roger quickly added, "And he wouldn't try to buck Captain Strong unless he was playing for high stakes!" "Right," said Tom. "The only thing that could have caused our watches to go haywire, like the ships instruments, would be uranium. Lots of uranium.

Their minds suddenly ceased to function." Hartson Brant leaned forward. "You mean they're unconscious?" Steve shook his head. "Not in the usual sense. It's as though all their thoughts and memories had suddenly been scrambled. Did you ever see a teletype machine in operation, particularly one that suddenly went haywire?" Rick had. "The news machine did that over at the Whiteside Morning Record.

Miller, meanwhile, had taken the receiver from the telephone. Scotty strung yards of wire around the room and handed the loose end to Rick. That was the antenna. Then Scotty scraped a bright place on a water pipe with his knife and twisted a length of wire tightly around it. That was the ground. Rick and Dr. Miller made connections. Rick gestured to the haywire apparatus with some pride. "Behold.

Welborn?" asked Davy, searching about for pencil and paper. "If any of our plans go haywire, I would want to let you know." "And that's just another inconvenience in the business," replied Welborn in a cautious manner. "My mail address is Adot. I get " "Adot? Adot? Where? What?" interposed the midget. "A dot on what?" "The post office is Adot," replied the miner. "Capital A-d-o-t, Adot.

Dwarfs may have normal bodies but with either short legs or arms, or both; a runt is a small specimen in a litter or drove; pygmies were a mythical creation of the Greeks, but the name was later given to a tribe in South Africa, whose stature was considerably less than their neighbors; and Lilliputians were the creation of a mind that was later to go haywire but not over midgets, mind you it was that other enigma in human life: the beckoning lure of two women, and the great creator of 'Gulliver and His Travels' went nuts in trying to decide which way to go."

"The solar magnet is wrecked," shouted the doctor, "and these storms are the efforts of nature to return to normal." "If they get any worse, we're doomed." "But in a good cause." Through the storm the plane raced. Suddenly the motor died with sickening suddenness. "Our haywire battery connections are gone," shouted McCready. "Say your prayers." The wind tossed the plane about like a feather.
