As a matter of fact" glancing up at the clock on the wall "it looks like she has. That clock hasn't moved since I got here." Even as he spoke, the clock whirred, jumped forty-five minutes, and settled down to its steady, second-by-second spin. "Ishie," said Mike, "we figured out a space drive, and that was great.
"And, Ishie if anybody takes the bridge away from the captain, you tell the Cow not to obey any orders or answer any questions unless they come from here."
Ishie took his time answering, and when he did his words come slowly. "Ah, yes. Confusor it is. I was attempting to confound Heisenberg's statement; but instead I think between us we have confused the issue. "Heisenberg said that there was no certainty in our measurement of the exact orbit of an electron.
"Thus this, then, is inertia the attempt of the fabric of space to smooth itself; to get rid of the strain of the particle that has been created from itself." Ishie shook his head. "Not quite," he said, "but you're getting close." Mike shook himself like a dog coming out of water. "Oh, well," he said. "Anyway, we've got a space drive flea sized.
"Confusion say," quoth Ishie blandly, "he who would play poker with dishonest men should never put all cards on table too soon. Or in other words, Confusion is the better part of valor. The garbage made them think that the Cow had sprung a cog somewhere, without ever guessing that we had control. "And by the way, Mike, that was quite a trick you pulled with the air supply.
"As you say, a strong field must initiate the action. Let us try another experiment, Mike." Ishie turned the Confusor off, selected a piece of wire from Mike's supplies, and wound a ten-turn coil over the large magnetic coils of the experimental device.
Confusion, and neither doubted their combined ability to handle that part of the problem. "Now," said Ishie, "Confusion say he who can fly on wings of mosquito fly better on wings of eagle. How much thrust do we want, Mike?" "What are our limits?" asked the practical engineer. "Limits, schlimits. We got power.
Then the only thing they could shoot would be the sun and I don't think it'd care. "Ishie, you stay here just to keep the home fires burning and make sure that nobody fiddles with anything we don't want 'em to. All of the bulkheads leading into this section can be locked from the inside a feature I haven't seen fit to point out to other people who really don't need to know."
"Millie," said Mike, "you've just reminded me that I'm as hollow as a deserted bee-stump after the bears get through with it!" "Little Millie," said Ishie, looking up at the figure nearly as tiny as his own, "you must be telepathic as well as beautiful. Confusion say 'Gee, I'm hungry!" "I'm told that the fate of the satellite depends on you two," Millie smiled.
The labs were functioning again, most of them according to their assigned, routine procedures; but in some, heads were drawn together over the absorbing diagrams supplied by Mike and Ishie. Mike and Ishie themselves had already put in twelve hours almost without a break. Working under stress, neither of them had remembered to eat. There was a cough at the entrance to the machine shop, and Dr.
