It is!" and they went along the narrow hall toward the elevator. To these two the long journey was to seem all too short. Long though the voyage was, it was uneventful. The occupants of the two vessels were in constant touch with each other by means of the communicators, and there was also much visiting back and forth in person.
Keep your audio communicator in the jet boat on at all times. And be sure your belt communicator is always open. Check your oxygen supply and space suits. All clear?" One by one, the spacemen checked in through the audio communicators that all was clear.
"Go get your swim trunks, fly boy. Let's give it a tryout in the tank." "Swell idea! Be back in a jiff!" After a quick change, the boys strapped on the new hydrolung equipment. Before adjusting his face mask, Tom mentioned that he had inserted scrambling circuits into the communicators to foil any enemy eavesdroppers.
Then there were cracklings of communicators, and orders flittered through emptiness in scrambled and re-scrambled broadcasts of gibberish which came out as lucid commands in the control-rooms of the ships. Then, first, the point, then the advanced flankers, and then the main fleet, line by line and rank by rank every ship drove on outward under top-speed solar-system drive.

Strong heard the clicks of the two communicators and sat back, breathing hard. He had recognized the voice of Able Two instantly. It was Governor Hardy. He was at the spaceport, hiding aboard a spaceship. But why? Could he be mixed up in this affair? Pacing the floor restlessly, Strong tried to figure out the connection. Hardy's reputation was spotless.

They asked to trade for shiploads of food. They offered any price in heavy metals gold, platinum, irridium, and so on. They talked from orbit by vision communicators. They could be seen to be blueskins.
