We may congratulate ourselves on the consummation of the first step. It has been done, I believe, well within the time limit." "Yes, Dr. Ku; yes. And now how long will be needed to finish?" "That is up to you. Normally, I would require a month. In that time all could be done safely, with small chance " "Too long!" said Leithgow. Carse intervened: "Why too long, Eliot?"
The outlaw years, it seemed, were ended: Ku Sui was a prisoner, and the proof of his great crime, which had been laid to Leithgow, was aboard. Earth green Earth! Separate, distinct, peerless in the universe; home of men, of his kind!
We must be out of here and far away by the time he arrives." "Yes," Leithgow nodded slowly. "As you say, there is no choice." "But your work here is finished, Eliot," Carse went on. "If only we can get to Earth safely, with Ku Sui and the brains in their new bodies, we will have achieved everything we wanted to achieve. We have proof of the crime done you, and we have Ku Sui, too.
Certainly it seemed safe enough to leave it unguarded for a while. However, Eliot Leithgow took one precaution. Down in his own laboratory again, in the midst of the work of transferring Dr.
"In lockers behind the table there are space-suits, hanging ready for emergencies. Don them and leave through one of the asteroid's port-locks." "Ask if the ports are sealed," Carse interjected instantly. Leithgow asked the question. "Yes," replied the unhuman voice. "But twice four to the right will open any of them." The Master Scientist wiped his brow.
I intrude only to warn you away from my synchronized brains. I will destroy without compunction anyone who meddles with them." Dr. Ku's voice dropped away; the last words seemed to have come from below. Apparently he was descending by a stairway or hidden elevator. "Without compunction!" Leithgow echoed with a bitter smile.
Be extremely careful with the case of coordinated brains. If you possibly can, have everything in readiness by the time Ban and I return with the four bodies." Ban Wilson, in his suit, entered the laboratory. The Hawk gestured him to the door which led to the tree-shaft to the surface. "But, Carse, what bodies? Where can you get four more living human bodies?" Leithgow cried.
These the forces that clashed in the episode set out below: that clashed, then drew apart, and knew not one another for years.... It will be recalled that, in the second of these four episodes, "The Affair of the Brains," Hawk Carse, Eliot Leithgow, and the Negro Friday broke free from Dr.
Eliot Leithgow gave up the late radio newscast from Earth he had been pretending to read. A brief silence fell, and through it the old scientist seemed to feel something, seemed to expect something. And he was not mistaken. "Who's there?" It was a cry from one of the watchers outside. Friday leaped out of his uneasy seat and was through the door even before Ban, who followed with Leithgow.
Seldom did the cold, hard iron of the man show through the velvet of his manner as now. "Yes," he said, "I will talk to you for a while; give you broad outline of my purpose. And when I have finished you will know why I have wanted you here so badly, Master Leithgow." He began, and, as never before, he hid nothing of his monstrous ambition, his extraordinary preparations.
