Trigger wasn't sure in just what section of the main continent they were; but there were only two or three alternatives it was high in the mountains, and night came a lot faster here than it did around Ceyce. She greeted Mantelish and sat down at the table. Then the Commissioner locked the doors and introduced her to the professor's pet. "It's labelled 113-A," he said now.
They had succeeded in creating some working plasmoids. To go into satisfactory operation, they still needed 113-A. Balmordan had not known why. But they no longer needed Trigger Argee. Trigger Argee was now to be destroyed at the earliest opportunity. Again Balmordan had not known why. Fayle and his unit were in the fortress dome the Devagas had been building.
The point of it, Holati Tate explained, was that this had been more activity than 113-A normally displayed over a period of a week. And 113-A was easily the most active plasmoid of them all nowadays. "It is, of course, possible," Mantelish said, arousing from deep thought, "that it was attracted by your body odor." "Thank you, Mantelish!" said Trigger. "You're welcome, my dear."
Did they want to kill it or grab it?" The Commissioner looked at her. "Grab it, was the dead-brain report. Why?" "Just wondering. Would make a difference, wouldn't it? Did they try again?" "There've been five more attempts," he said. "And what's everybody concluded from that?" "They want 113-A in a very bad way. So they need it." "In connection with the key unit?" Trigger asked. "Probably."
"Because," Lyad said carefully, "112 was aware that 113-A intended to condition Trigger into being its interpreter." Professor Mantelish's jaw dropped. He swung his head toward Trigger. "Is that true?" She nodded. "It's true, all right. We've been working on it, but we haven't got too far along. Tell you later. Go ahead, Lyad."
Stood up for his rights, eh?" "Mantelish gained some such impression anyway. He became more cautious with it after that. And then he learned something that should be important. He was visiting another lab where they had a couple of plasmoids which actually moved now and then. He had 113-A in his coat pocket. The two lab plasmoids stopped moving while he was there. They haven't moved since."
