He realized that any action, even now, would bring the craft dangerously close to the station. Without hesitation, he flipped on the master switch of the central station communicator, opening every loud-speaker on the station to his voice. "Attention! Attention! This is traffic-control center! Emergency! Repeat. Emergency!
Cracks in the asteroid would be dangerous, but he hadn't seen any. "This rock will take more nuclear blasts than we have," he assured Koa. He turned his communicator back on and went to the edge of the hole for a look at Kemp's progress. He was far down now. Pederson was holding one end of a measuring tape. The other end was fastened to Kemp's shoulder strap.
"I have to talk to you," he said, turning back to Brion. "Privately," he added, bending over and ripping out the communicator with a sweep of one hand. "Get out," Brion told him. "If I were able " "Well, you're not, so you're just going to have to lie there and listen. I imagine we have about five minutes before they decide to break the door down, and I don't want to waste any more of that.

"I hate to put on an official hat, Murgatroyd," he said, annoyed, "but there are some people who demand it. The rule is, never get official if you can help it, but when you must, out-official the official who's officialing you." Murgatroyd said "Chee!" and sipped at his cup. Calhoun checked the course of the Med Ship. It bore on through space. There were tiny noises from the communicator.
I did the job all right, but for three weeks after, my face was swollen and I couldn't open my eyes. I almost went blind."
