Then he proceeded to ignore both weak points and concentrate on what he would do if he were the enemy commander. The weak points were traps; the computer could see them and avoid them. Which was just exactly what was wrong with the computer's logic. In avoiding the traps, it also avoided the best way to hit the enemy. A weak point is weak, no matter how well it may be booby-trapped.
There was no sign of whatever had blown us off the air. I held my key, but didn't press it. I told Clay to take Miller down to Medic. He was moaning and in severe pain. Kramer reported in from the cargo deck. The cannister was inside now, coating up with frost. I told him to wait, then sent Chilcote, my demolition man, in to open it. Maybe it was booby-trapped.
There's not supposed to be any of them left in these parts, but I'm guessing the mine was dug by Huks, and the Cerberus was taken away by them because the humans on the Cerberus found out there was Huks around." Patrolman Willis said: "The sergeant took a chance on the mine being booby-trapped and went in, after sending me out of range." The sergeant scowled at him and went on.
The pilots are probably right about the plane's having been booby-trapped after its last overhaul, and the traps armed later. I'll have an inspection made immediately, and we'll see if we can find how it was done. "There's the man you think armed the trap on this plane. An order for his arrest is on the way now. I told my secretary. And hm.... That CO2 "
"That sounds," she remarked, "as if you'd let other interested observers feel you'd left them a good opening to get at Repulsive." He didn't quite smile. "I might have done that. Don't tell the Council." Trigger pursed her lips. "I won't. So the grabbers who were after me figured I was booby-trapped. But then they came in anyway. That doesn't seem very bright.
He fought savagely against personal publicity, but he worked himself half to death. He spent hours every day in frenzied haggling, and in the cynical examination of deftly booby-trapped business proposals. His lawyers insisted that he needed an office he did and presently he had four secretaries and there developed an entire hierarchy of persons under him.
It might not have destroyed the Isis if it had exploded in space, but it would not have done it any good. Bors pushed the button for the loading-port compartment. "Throw out all the stuff loaded so far," he commanded. "Some of it may be booby-trapped like that last one. We won't take a chance. Heave it all out again." "Yes, sir." Bors gave other orders. The harsh-voiced broadcast stopped.
The woman asked for details that would help her picture feats of derring-do. Bors hesitated, and did not quite tell her about the truck drivers on Tralee who volunteered the information that their loads were booby-trapped. But he did stress the fact that the populations of dominated planets were on the thin edge of revolt. The suspicious Talent asked very little. He listened, frowning.
For the Guide Only!" Myers frowned. "That isn't one of our marks, and if it were Soviet, it'd be tri-lingual, Russian, Hindi and Chinese." "Well, let's see what's in it. I want this thing cleared up. I've been having some of the nastiest dreams, lately...." "Well, be careful; it may be booby-trapped," Myers said urgently. "Don't worry; I will."
When one end was loose he slowly pulled the sheet of metal away, making positive that there was nothing attached to it, nor that it had been booby-trapped in any way. It came off easily enough and clanged down into the pit. The revealed surface was smooth metal, featureless and hard. "Enough for one day," Jason said, climbing out of the pit and brushing off his hands. It was almost dark.
