"How did they take it?" Trask asked, when he returned to report.
"I know what it's like to be three thousand hours in hyper, myself." "You're at this old city with the two tall tower-buildings, aren't you?" Harkaman asked. He looked up at the viewscreen. "Ought to be about midnight there now. How's the spaceport? When I was here, it was pretty bad." "Oh, we've been fixing it up. We got a big gang of locals working for us "
