I'd have to take the plastic away and it couldn't be done without smashing things." "What would happen," asked Jill, "if you made what you're thinking about?" "I might," said Lockley. "I just possibly might make a gadget that would create a cloud of ions around the person who carried it. And it might reflect some of the terror beam and refract the rest so none got through to the man!"
He was the lone man who had been on guard in the jeep. The jeep was nowhere in sight. I began to be really worried. My lighter gadget could have been what had gassed him. It probably was; there weren't many sleep-gas weapons on Fenris. I had to get fills made up specially for mine. So it looked to me as though somebody had gotten mine off Bish, and then used it to knock out our guard.
"I'll try not to," Arcot laughed. "Anyway, let's get on to the main power plant. Remember that our condenser coil is a gadget for storing energy in space; we are therefore obliged to supply it with energy to store. Just forming the drive field alone will require two times ten to the twenty-seventh ergs, or the energy of about two and a half tons of matter.
Grabbing a pencil, the young inventor began sketching. In both his Fat Man suits and his osmotic air conditioner, Tom had already perfected ways of drawing oxygen from sea water. "But a small gadget for skin divers," he said, "will take a fantastic job of electronic miniaturization." After a pause he added, "It could really speed up recovery of the Jupiter prober, though."
And the jails are full of halfway criminal geniuses, too. But don't overlook the advantages of an eat-proof cake. It might come in handy to throw at the guards during the getaway." The young people laughed, too, then Barby sobered suddenly. "Rick, could you really put one of those things in my hair?" He had an image of the gadget in his mind, and he knew it would work. "Sure, Sis. Why?"
But I knew that the limit of man's submersion, till then at any rate, was a matter of a few hundred feet. "Sounds incredible, doesn't it," said Stanley with a smile. "But that's what we're going to do if the Professor's gadget works as he seems to think it will." "I don't think it, I know it," retorted the Professor. "And man, man, the things we may see down there!
When I passed by it, my own gadget must have blown it. I knew the police couldn't have made it here between the time of the fight and the time they showed up. They must have had at least an extra minute. Besides, I didn't think anyone could build an instrument that would blank out everything at long range. It had to be something near your main cable.
Scotty was inside the laboratory building, while Barby and Jan were at Pirate's Field. Presently Scotty joined him and grinned. "Work good?" "Perfect." Barby and Jan came through the orchard and up on the porch. Barby was wearing an ornamental plastic head band, not too gaudy for daytime wear, but not too simple for anything dressy. She had arranged her hair so the gadget was hardly noticeable.
The First Lieutenant came quickly to the rescue. "Of course," he said, "that's all rot. We're only too grateful to to Science for trying to invent a new gadget.... Only, you see, sir, in the meanwhile, until you hit on it we feel we aren't doing so badly er just carrying on." The Flagship's Wardroom and the smoking-room beyond were packed to suffocation by a dense throng of officers.
Well, she thought, wandering back to her cabin, it didn't look as if she were going to be bothered with excessively friendly neighbors on this trip. She had a bath and then discovered a mechanical stylist in a recess beside the bathroom mirror. She swung the gadget out into the room, set it for a dye removal operation and sat down beneath it.
