The first phase came to an end when there were five similar things in the open pan, and nothing, except the liquid and a multitude of spidery, disconnected wires, in the case that but shortly before had harbored the brains of five scientists.... A pause. Relaxation. Tests. The black-clad figure spoke to one in yellow in a tone of pleased relief. "Successful so far, Master Leithgow!
Eliot Leithgow, in his distant laboratory, paused before replying. When his voice sounded in the receivers again, it was excited. "I think I see, Carse! Good! Yes, I have a little " "We'll need a lot," the Hawk cut in tersely. "Will you instruct your assistants to begin preparing as much as they can in the next hour? Yes.
Very different were they, each from each other, but each face had its mark of genius; and each face, to Eliot Leithgow, was warm and smiling, for these five men were friends.... So he saw them in vision.... "Another switch has to be thrown to talk with them, Carse," he said. The Hawk indicated one inquiringly. Leithgow nodded. "Yes. That was it." The switch went over.
The saffron face impassive, the long lashes lying low over the eyes, he said softly: "I wonder, Captain Carse, if I might be permitted a glimpse of the subjects of my transplantation?" Leithgow and Wilson were at the time with Carse in the control cabin, and they regarded their friend intently, curious as to what the reply would be. They saw his steel-gray eyes meet Dr.
Again the voice: "Where is Eliot Leithgow?" Again the shock, and again the voice. Alternating, over and over. He could brace himself against the shock, but the voice could in no way be avoided. It was everywhere about him, over, around, under him; he began to see it. Desperately he forced his brain on the path it must not leave.
His eyes changed, and imperiously he gave an order to his assistants. "A chair for Master Leithgow, and one for Carse. Place them there." Then, "Be seated," he invited them with a return of his usual seeming courtesy. "I'm sure you must be tired." Slowly Eliot Leithgow lowered himself into the metal seat. Friday, ignored, shifted his weight from one foot to the other.
Earth was to him little more than a port of call, and it brought him sadness to see how eagerly Leithgow stared at her growing face. Their parting was not far away now. The Sandra logged off the miles. Then came the day when only ten thousand were left, and, soon after, five thousand. Deceleration had long since been begun.
Carse turned, his face white with cold passion. "When will you learn to obey me implicitly?" he said harshly and crept on. Old Leithgow trusted his friend a little more. "Get your suit on, Friday," he said gently, and slipped into his own.
"Perhaps you do not know," he continued levelly, "but the people of Earth hold Master Scientist Eliot Leithgow responsible for your disappearance. He is therefore a fugitive, and there is a price on his head. It is my purpose to restore Eliot Leithgow to his old place by returning Dr. Ku to Earth to answer for the crimes he has effected on you. "I am now ready to fulfil my promise to you.
On top of it he placed the operating table, and, after he had tripped the table's small wheels, another table on top of that. "You first, Eclipse!" his master rapped out as he finished. "I'll pass the suits to you; then swing Leithgow up." The negro answered by acting. Swiftly he climbed the rude pile, and reached for the edge of the hole.
