They'll say that he may have carried the cobalt about with him, and so he may have burned other people in a restaurant, a movie theater, anywhere while he was carrying the dust and dying without knowing it. So everybody's supposed to report to the hospital for a check-up for radiation burns. Some people may really have them.

He'd probably order a medical check-up for himself and Khadra the first thing tomorrow, to make sure they hadn't picked up some kind of bug. The Fuzzies took the manipulator quite calmly the next morning. That wasn't any horrible monster, that was just something Pappy Jack took rides in. He found one rather indifferent sunstone in the morning and two good ones in the afternoon.

Holati and Azol finished the check-up together and were about to leave the area to catch up with the group, when Holati saw Trigger lying on the floor in an adjoining compartment. "You seemed to be in some kind of coma," he said.

He thought about it as he worked, with all the noises of the Shed singing in his ears. A voice said: "Joe." He started and turned. Sally stood behind him, looking at him very gravely. She tried to smile. "Dad told me," she said, "about the check-up that says you're all right. May I congratulate you on your being with us for a while? on the cobalt's not getting near you? or the rest of us?"

When you got the first Service check-up at Commissioner Tate's demand, there was very little to go on. The amnesia didn't lift immediately not very unusual. The blankout might be interesting because of the circumstances. Otherwise the check showed you were in a good deal better than normal condition.

The other possible place of concealment was an island about five acres in extent, completely hemmed in by a group of other islands, which were so overrun with rampant vegetation, including bushes and trees, as to conceal the inner isle from any but the most scrutinizing vision. "That is the place we want to explore first," announced Mr. Perry as reference was made to this retreat in the check-up.

"And," she continued, "the only reason I can find for it is that we have not given enough." "But," I replied, "I feel that we have given enough: Our gross income has been a little over $500.00." She then brought two pencils and two pieces of paper and said to me, "Come on." We knelt down and asked the Lord to bring to our minds what we had given, and in our check-up we found we had given $252.50.

Time wrong. "You been bothered with headaches lately?" "Off and on nasty sort of twinges. If I trusted myself with a carpenter, I'd let you give me a check-up. Well, let's cut this short. What I was going to say ... let's see ... oh, since Timmy seldom pays any attention to the dog, why does the dog stick to him like a shadow?" Clancey grunted. "That dog's no fool, stupid as he is.

There were a very few highly trusted men making final inspections of the Platform's exterior. One of them was nearly on a level with Joe and Sally. Other men were already lowering themselves down on ropes that they later jerked free, but this last man on top did a very human thing. When he'd finished his check-up to the last least detail, he pulled something out of his hip pocket.

We discovered that the three unaccounted-for men of the crew were lying forward, and found that two were dead and one lived a radio man named LeConte. He had two ribs broken. Half a dozen atomic guns remained to us, and we found intact one dynamo capable of generating the new cold light in considerable quantities. It was not an encouraging check-up, though.
