"He didn't have brains enough to invent an excuse." "I wonder, then, what Bohr had in mind to bring such a man here like that?" Hawarden frowned. "Maybe a trick to help throw His Majesty off guard," Newton suggested. "Or else just a sop to Panek's vanity, to tie him closer to Bohr," Hanlon said. "A thing like that would have tickled Panek." "We'll have him rounded up, then."
He stepped up to the desk and looked straight into the imperial eyes. "Sire, please think hard with all your will. I believe you know more about Bohr's plans, but that the knowledge was hypnotically sealed in your sub-conscious. Bohr had that power, we know. Please try to break that seal. Bohr is dead now his compulsion can no longer bind you!"
No positive outbreak had occurred, but the natives were sullen in their demeanour, and generally avoided the new settlement. Butchers' meat was exceedingly scarce, as we had only a few cows that had been given during the voyage by the vakeel of the Bohr station. The troops were without rations of meat.
"I sort of figured as much, with the amazing performance of that pigeon. Your secret is safe with me it certainly must not be spread around. But I don't mind saying I'm glad it's you has that ability, not me," with a half-hearted laugh. "It is a load," Hanlon admitted soberly, then brightened, "but it sure saved my neck when Bohr had me prisoner and was about to torture me."
"Even one man, or entity, like Bohr, could have given us a bad enough time, and perhaps even wrecked the Federation." "Well, I guess that winds it up except for a lot of detail work," Newton rose. "I've got to get back to my own job on Estrella. Hawarden, call the port and have them ready my ship, please. And it's been good seeing you again. Thanks for everything."
It puzzled and saddened us all, but now I believe we can begin to see the reason and it doesn't harm you in our estimation now that we realize you couldn't help it." The emperor raised puzzled eyes. "What do you mean by that?" "May I answer that, Sire?" Hanlon stepped forward. "We know now that Gorth Bohr wasn't human he was an alien from ..." "An ... alien?" the emperor quavered.
He came here, for his restless mind and savage urge to dominate others would not let him rest until he was absolute ruler of some world or system the bigger the better from his viewpoint." "And you got all that from a bird?" incredulously. "Yes. You were right when you said Bohr didn't have a friend except the toogan. I think that's why he sort of liked me perhaps he felt I would be one.
But at the same time we must be trying to find out what planet or system Bohr came from, and take steps to see they can't harm us. That means we've got to exert every effort to get every single person who was working with or for Bohr, and especially to find out if he had any superiors." "Right. The fleet should be here in another two days, and then Ferguson will want to blast for Algon.
The sudden arrival of Abou Saood changed all their plans, as he immediately gave orders to return the ivory to the store huts; he did not intend to deliver it at Gondokoro that year. He also sent a letter to his Latooka station, nine days' march to the north-east, together with a party of eighty men, with instructions to his vakeel to deliver the ivory at the Bohr station below Gondokoro.
You will, of course, account for your dialect by keeping to your present story, that you came from a village on the ghauts, in order to enter the service of one of our rajahs; and that your father having, years ago, been a soldier in the pay of the Rajah of Bohr, you made your way there direct, instead of coming to the capital." "That will do excellently, Pertaub.
