Roger stuck his head through the radar-bridge hatch and gazed in awe at the array of electronic communicators, detection radar and astrogation gear. With lips pulled into a thin line, he mumbled to himself: "Too bad they didn't give you this kind of equipment." "What'd you say, Roger?" asked Astro, climbing alongside to peer into the radar bridge.
The results of that experience he sums up in these words: 'At the present time I cannot profess to have any doubt but that the chief "communicators" to whom I have referred in the foregoing pages are veritably the personalities that they claim to be, that they have survived the change we call death, and that they have directly communicated with us, whom we call living, through Mrs.
Imprisoned they were, and carefully searched; but they bore no arms, and nothing had been said or thought of communicators. Even if such instruments could be concealed, Roger would detect their use instantly. At least, so would have run his thought had the subject entered his mind.
Tingling power ran through them as it flowed into the tremendous coils. For thirty seconds then the heavens were as before. At last Arcot spoke. Through the radio communicators, and through the thought-channels, his ideas came as he took off the headpiece. "It's done now, and we can rest." There was a tremendous crash from within the apparatus.
Men hear such sounds in delirium, advancing like tides from horizons beyond the ruled foreshores of space. 'That's our pitch-pipe, said Arnott. 'We may be a bit ragged. I've never conducted two hundred and fifty performers before. He pulled out the couplers, and struck a full chord on the Service Communicators.
There would be hydroponic tanks in which plants would grow to purify its air and feed its crew. There would be telescopes with which men would be able to study the stars as they had never been able to do from the bottom of Earth's ocean of turbulent air. But it would serve Earth. There would be communicators.
It was simply an out-of-door installation where cops could be summoned or fires reported or emergencies described by citizens independently of the regular home communicators. It had occurred to Hoddan that the planetary authorities would be greatly pleased to hear of a situation, in a place, that would seem to hint at his presence.
So their communicators had been taken away from them for the second time, and now they were watched with an unceasing closeness. Every glance, every word, every gesture was noted. "This has to be quick," said Soames coldly, for her to hear. "I would help him, but he'd want to get in touch with his people." Gail opened her eyes again. Her image in the mirror nodded.
We can't see through the fog, so couldn't find the plants, and probably your wiring diagrams would explode if I touched them." "I never thought of your helping us," mused Barkovis. "The idea of any living being existing in that inferno has always been unthinkable, but the difficulties you mention are slight. We have already built in our vessel communicators similar to yours, and radio sets.
Communicators were placed at intervals of ten miles, so that any stranded colonist was within walking distance of help. The four hundred ships that had crashed had been loaded mostly with farming equipment, and the seriousness of the situation was discussed at great length by Logan and other farmer colonists.
