"What were you and your people trying to do to us with the cable you hitched to our stern?" I asked next.
They had lent themselves readily to Leider's fierce plans to make trouble for Earth. As to what Leider's plan of war was, Hargrib could not tell us much, for his duties kept him absorbed in other work, not connected with the campaign. He stated definitely, however, that Leider had almost completed the development of apparatus which would enable him to strike his blow without ever leaving Orcon.
It was my duty to think about the position we were in and the task we had in hand. I asked Hargrib sharply what was to be expected from Leider now that his cable party against us had failed. And he told me. The sum of it was that Leider was working eagerly to complete his preparations for the attack on Earth.
Hargrib said that with the coming of daylight, we would be able to see the mountains in which the caverns were concealed, just as we would be able to sight the nearby island whence had been shot the cable which had so nearly done for us.
