"All right," she said at last. "But I warn you that if my trust is misplaced and you do attempt to escape, I'll burn you down without compunction." They went up together, quite as casually as might any two guests relaxing at the resort, and found chairs in the semi-darkness overlooking the moonlit lowland. Deimos hung near the zenith, a tiny globe of light, virtually stationary.
Are you ready, Titan?" "Go ahead, Deimos," said the Titan man. And then, as Strong held his breath, the metallic voice from the loud-speaker reported on the final result of the tragic explosion over Deimos. " ... Chamber was cut open and Cadet Corbett was rushed to the spaceport's sick bay...."
Although the cloud curtain still rested on the planet it was probable that the Martians would send some of their airships up to its surface in order to determine what our fate had been. From that point of vantage, with their exceedingly powerful glasses, we feared that they might be able to detect anything unusual upon or in the neighborhood of Deimos. The Ships are Moored.
"Not a thing, Commander," he replied. "We've done just about everything but take the force-field projectors apart, but so far we haven't found a thing wrong." "Any word on the race, Joe?" asked Strong. Howard looked surprised. "By the stars, I almost forgot. One of the ships is trying to make it to Ganymede without stopping at Deimos for refueling. And another blew up." Strong gasped. "Which one?"
"You will make two stops for refueling on your trip," Captain Strong called over the loud-speakers, as well as into the intercom connecting the three ships. "First fuel stop will be on Deimos of Mars and the second will be at Ganymede. You are to chart a direct course to each of them.
By the time Deimos had risen in the sky, they were sound asleep. "Eeeeeeoooooooow!" Astro's bull-like roar shattered the silence of the desert. "There up ahead, Tom Roger a building!" Tom and Roger stopped and strained their eyes in the bright sunshine. "I think you're right," said Tom at last. "But I doubt if anyone's there. Looks like an abandoned mining shack to me."
"Say, that's one of the boys in your unit, isn't it, Steve?" he asked. "Yes," said Strong grimly. He turned to Walters. "Have I your permission to contact Deimos for the latest details, sir?" "Of course, Steve. Go ahead." Strong turned quickly and climbed into a nearby jet boat.
"Probably wishing he had stopped for fuel!" interjected Astro with a sour look on his face. "See if you can pick up Sticoon on the audioceiver, Astro," said Kit. "Ask him for an estimated time of arrival on Deimos. One of us will have to come in first." Astro flipped the switch on the panel and began his call "Good Company to Space Lance, come in!" "Right here, Astro," replied Tom immediately.
Roger rose on one elbow, but the medical officer pressed him gently back on the cot. "Did you ever find out how Bill Sticoon's ship was sabotaged, Captain Strong?" asked Tom. "We sure did, Tom," said Strong. "One of Brett's confederates slugged the Solar Guard officer in charge of monitoring the race on Deimos and took his place.
"Well, what about the other ship, Space Knight?" asked Walters. "Cadet Manning is on that one. Any report on where they are?" "Nothing, sir," replied Howard. "We just heard that he was by-passing Deimos and going on right through to Ganymede, hoping to get a jump on the other two." "Did Cadet Manning make that report?" asked Walters. "No, sir. It was the pilot. Quent Miles.
