I don't get much of a pattern out of the sounds." "Maybe the seven-eyed men of the planet Glup don't have rhythm," Rick began. "Anyway ..." He never finished the sentence. The control-room door slammed open. Arabs crashed through, bringing the police guard to his feet with a bound.
He scowled more deeply than before. "I'm sorry you feel that way. But if that's it " "And on the way," said Babs. "When they're not watching, you might kiss me." They had a considerable pile of the red-fleshed fruits ready when the ground had cooled enough for them to reach the landing-sling. Once aboard the ship, Cochrane headed for the control-room, with Jamison and Bell tagging after him.
When the blister air-pressure showed normal and green lights flashed and flashed, Bors got out of the boat and went to the Sylva's control-room. Gwenlyn was there, quite casually controlling the operation of the yacht by giving suggestions to its official skipper. She turned and beamed at Bors. "We'll pull off a way," she observed, "and make sure your time-bomb works.
Brandon studied the hexan power-system most carefully, and, everything in readiness and after a long talk with Westfall, he called a general conference in the control-room. "Gentlemen, we have done about everything we can do for the time being.
We'll let them try to match our acceleration If they can do that, they're good." The apparition reappeared, oscillating back and forth irregularly passing through the arenak walls, through the furniture and the instrument boards, and even through the mighty power-plant itself, as though nothing was there. Eventually, however, it remained stationary a foot or so above the floor of the control-room.

Then Holden called harshly from the next deck down. There was Alicia by the inner airlock door. Her face was deathly pale. She had opened the door.
He went back to the control-room and pulled down the panel which made available a small-scale but surprisingly adequate biological laboratory. He set the plastic block in a container which would raise it very, very gradually to a specific temperature and hold it there. It was, obviously, a living culture from which any imaginable quantity of the same culture could be bred.
The gravity's tolerable a little on the light side, maybe, compared to the glacier planet." He was silent, staring at the blank wall of the control-room. He frowned. Suddenly he said: "Does anybody back on Earth know that Babs and I were castaways?" "No," said Holden, still very quiet indeed. "Alicia ran the control-board. She told everybody you were too busy to be called to the communicator.
But everybody but Holden and the two men in the control-room now clustered at those ports, looking out at the stars. There was Jamison and Bell the writer, and Johnny Simms and his wife. Babs had been here and gone. Bell was busy with a camera. As Cochrane moved to tell him of the need for star-shots to prove to a waiting planet that they were alive, Johnny Simms turned and saw Cochrane.
The Med Ship drove on in seemingly absolute solidity, with no sound from without, with no sight to be seen outside, with no evidence at all that it was not buried deep in the heart of a planet instead of flashing through emptiness at a speed so great as to have no meaning. Next ship-day the girl looked oddly at Calhoun when she appeared in the control-room.
