Kennon was still bending over Douglas wondering how to call for help when three guards burst through the door, faces grim, weapons at the ready. "What's going on here?" the leader demanded. "The board showed an open door down here." He saw the body "Mr. Douglas!" he gasped. "The commandant will have to know about this!" He took a communicator from his waist belt and spoke rapidly into it.
He had to say something that would immediately identify him beyond the shadow of a doubt. The snapper-boat was closing in slowly. Rip knew the pilot and gunner must be tense, frightened, ready to blast with their guns at the first wrong move on the asteroid. He groped with his good arm and turned up his helmet communicator to full volume.
The public-relations job all this has turned into, demands a careful stimulation of all the basic urges. So I want people to think of steaks and chops and roasts. If I could get herds of animals from one horizon to another ." "Meat-herds coming up," said Jones negligently. "I'll call you." Cochrane did not believe him. He went down to the communicator again.
The mind cannot retain two vivid pictures at the same time; either one or the other must grow fogged and dim; and this would certainly be so in the case of any communicator, where we may suppose a certain amount of mental energy corresponding to a mental picture perhaps is necessitated in the very process of holding the control of the organism.
Hence the loftiness of his speech, from which sarcasm and even passion were absent. In estimating the almost ideal character of the enthusiasm which fired him we cannot forget that his mother was the daughter of Scipio, of him who believed himself the special favourite of heaven, and the communicator of divinely sent ideas to the world.
Tom grinned, but in his heart he did not think it very funny. It was no joke that Captain Strong had called him to contact Roger. And Tom was worried. So far, he had not been able to reach the blond-haired cadet. He settled himself in front of the communicator and began calling the black ship again. "Rocket ship Space Lance to rocket ship Space Knight! Come in!" He waited.
They were too used to the out-of-the-ordinary events a Ranger seemed to attract to be astonished by much less than a divine manifestation. Even a Traiti appearing on a communicator screen didn't justify much more than Matthews' startlement.
Rip sympathized. "Tough, sir. Perhaps the cargo from Titan will be scheduled for Terra." "That's what I hope," O'Brine agreed. "Well, here's where we part. Is there anything you need?" Rip made a mental check on supplies. He had more than enough. "The only thing we need is a long-range communicator, sir. We'll need one to contact the planet bases." "I'll see that you get one."
We believe, however, that there existed some dissimilarity in the several modes of communication the Duke of Wellington receiving his with some appearance of regard, on the part of the communicator, for the nerves of the ladies, while to Colonel St.
So long as talk with Earth was possible, he'd kept at it. There was a great deal of talking to be done. But a good deal of it was extremely unsatisfactory. He found Bill Holden having supper with Babs, on the floor below the communicator. Very much of the recent talk had been over Cochrane's head.
