Turning to Tombu he handed him the Security man's radio. "See if you can rig this," he said, "to broadcast everything they say over the general intercom channel. It's about time we let people know what's happening." It took Tombu only minutes to hook in the radio. As he turned it on, Elbertson's voice came over the loud-speaker system. A roll call of Security men was apparently being completed.
"This may be a civilian post, but you are still an officer and I am your superior. Return to your quarters and clean up. Then report to me properly!" For a moment there was seething rebellion on Elbertson's already wild features. Then, automatonlike, he turned and walked stiffly away without saluting. But the stiffness left him as he passed through the door.
I have officially taken control of Hot Rod at the command of my superiors in the new U.N. Security Control Command." Mike didn't bother to answer. As the wheel turned him towards Hot Rod again, he said into the radio, "Two minutes." Elbertson's voice came again. "With this new weapon we control Earth. Don't you realize that you can't stand up against the new people's government of Earth?"
The captain paused, then asked: "Doctor, please consider carefully. Would you consider Major Elbertson's condition serious enough to warrant confining him to bed by force?" "Probably not. He should come out of it in a few hours. Exercise may possibly be good for him, though I doubt if he's capable of much of it."
"There is only the one?" "Yes, sir." "Where would he keep it, if not on his person?" "I don't know, sir. We came straight to the morgue the shield area, from the air lock. I don't believe he stopped off anywhere he could have put it." The captain turned to the second Security officer. "Search Elbertson's spacesuit," he said. Then to the intercom, "Search his hammock.
The last three man responded as called. The Elbertson's voice, crisp but somewhat labored, came over the Security beam, booming throughout the ship. "It is obvious that the renegade scientists and engineer of the wheel have replaced the men guarding their sectors. "As we were informed, the captain had put them in charge.
In spite of Elbertson's orders, the big wheel continued to turn its rim directly towards the giant balloon with its bulbous nose. It was a curious sensation, seeing the big wheel from this angle. Much the same sensation as that of an ant, staring at the oncoming wheel of a huge truck. In the machine shop, Mike was rummaging around in one of the tool lockers.
Who else but Captain Naylor Andersen could possibly have delivered this sneaking, underhanded attack against himself and his comrades? Who else, he thought, but a man so callous as to order him, sick as he was, as though he were a mere cadet, to leave the bridge. Major Elbertson's mind was made up as to the identity of the enemy.
