"Is Brett with you?" asked the voice over the audioceiver. "No. I'll tell you about it when we get together. All the rockets in space broke loose up there on Titan for a while." "What do you mean? Hey! I think I just picked you up on my radar!" said the voice over the loud-speaker. "Give me the identification signal." Tom watched Miles go to the radarscope and make a minute adjustment.
A deputy with a seating diagram came up to them. "Mr. Brannhard, you and Mr. Holloway over here, at this table." He pointed to one a little apart from the others, at the extreme right facing the bench. "And Dr. van Riebeek, and Dr. Rainsford over here, please." The court crier's loud-speaker, overhead, gave two sharp whistles and began: "Now hear this! Now hear this!
Tom's voice crackled over the power-deck loud-speaker and Astro snapped to quick attention. "Power deck, aye!" replied the giant Venusian into the intercom microphone. "What's up?" "Stand by for course change," said Tom. "Roger's picked up a meteor on the radar scanner and " "Here's the course change," Roger's voice broke in over the intercom.
"With that hot rocket in this race," said Astro, "the others will have to fight for second and third place." "Control tower to Strong," a voice crackled over the intercom loud-speaker. "Ready here, sir." "Right. Stand by for the next flight, Mac," replied Strong. "It's Sticoon."
It will be a few minutes before I can give you any further information." "Very well, Deimos. I will hold this channel open." Walters and Howard entered the room. "Any word, Strong?" asked the commander. Strong shook his head. The loud-speaker over the control panel crackled into life again. "Ganymede station to Titan spaceport! Come in, Titan!"
A metallic voice boomed over the station loud-speaker, as last-minute passengers boarded the long line of gleaming white monorail cars, hanging from a single overhead steel rail. In the open doorway of one of the end cars, a conductor lifted his arm, then paused and waited patiently as three Space Cadets raced down the stairs and along the platform in a headlong dash for the train.
Chow stammered, mopping his brow with a huge red bandanna. "Why, sufferin' rattlesnakes, didn't I hear 'em spoutin' their space lingo with my own ears?" "You heard what?" Bud said. "Spoutin' space talk!" the cook repeated. "It come right over the loud-speaker in the galley! They was chitter-chatterin' plottin' to blow us all to smithereens!" "That's a fact!
And when he had done all he could, he paced up and down the deck, snapping a greasy wiping rag against his thigh again and again. His face showed the concern he felt for Tom and Roger, and at the same time, there was a questioning look in his eye. The auxiliary loud-speaker of the audioceiver overhead spluttered with static. He stopped to listen.
At the moment of firing, the cables would drop off. After that, Pegasus would be on its own. It was after dawn when the two emerged from the final check. The fueling crews were already at work. The loud-speaker on the crane emitted, "The time is zero minus twenty-five." Gee-Gee departed for the blockhouse. Rick started after him, then as he cleared the gate he saw Scotty.
He balled his huge hands into tight knots and stared at the floor. "Now hear this!!!" A voice suddenly rasped over the PA system loud-speaker above the door. "All cadet candidates will come to attention to receive the Space Academy oath from Commander Walters." The voice paused. "AT-TENT-SHUN! Cadet candidates Staaaaannnnd TO!" "This is Commander Walters speaking!"
