"Yeah " growled Astro, advancing on the smaller cadet. "You'll what?" "All right, you two!" barked Strong. "Plug your jets! By the craters of Luna, one minute you act like hot-shot spacemen, and the next, you behave like children in a kindergarten!" Suddenly the compartment echoed to hearty laughter.
Breathing deeply, Astro and Roger flopped down near Tom and stretched full length on the grass. "That was a beautiful shot, Roger," said Tom. "Perfectly timed!" "Yeah, hot-shot," agreed Astro, "I'm glad to see that big head of yours is good for something!"
"Let's give it the old try for dear old Space Academy!" Tom whirled around and stood face to face with Manning. "I think maybe Astro's right, Roger," he said coldly. "I think you're a foul ball, a space-gassing hot-shot that can't take it when the chips are down!" "That's right," said Roger coldly. "I'm just what you say!
You hate me and I hate you. It's a good enough reason, I think." "It's just as well, hot-shot," replied Astro. "Because if you don't transfer, we will!" Roger merely smiled, flipped his fingers to his forehead in an arrogant gesture of farewell and turned to leave again. But his path was blocked by the sudden appearance of Captain Steve Strong. The three cadets quickly braced.
So instead of following book procedure, relaying the dope to Tom on the control deck to pass it on to Astro, I'd just sing out to Astro direct on the intercom, 'Give me an upshot on the ecliptic! or 'Give me a starboard shot! and Astro would come through because he knows I always know what I'm talking about." "Not always, hot-shot!" growled Astro.
This he did with typical thoroughness. His fire was returned with interest. With a license in direct opposition to the laws of battle, the enemy, under Captain Leonard, turned his guns on the village of Newark, bombarding public buildings and private residences with hot-shot, laying part of the town in ashes.
And that he hasn't been able to flush it out with the blowers." "Ummmmh," mused Strong thoughtfully. "Well, in that case, stand by, Corbett. I'll get in touch with Commander Walters right away." "Very well, sir," replied Tom. He turned from the teleceiver and climbed up to the radar deck. "Well, hot-shot," said Roger, "looks like you've made yourself a hero this trip."
