"Paula, you'd better carry on and explain what you told me, and add anything else you can think of that might be relevant.... Is that sound-recorder turned on? Then turn it on, somebody; we want this taped."
"That's a highly inflected version of early Interlingua, Captain," Mannion said. "After I taped it, I compensated it to take out the rise-and-fall tone, and then filtered out the static. There were a few sound substitutions to figure out, but I finally caught on. It still doesn't make much sense, but that's what it says." "I wonder what we're invading," I said.

I warned you, but you wouldn't listen. And now we've even got your own taped words to prove you were doing forbidden research. Fool!" She shook her head pityingly as the tractor began moving with two others toward Southport. "You and your phony diseases.

But what message had Tom tried to convey? As a routine security-department precaution, Ames's phone was connected to a recorder which automatically taped all calls.
