It was also true that until fairly recently plasmoids were being produced here. By the simple method of looking where they were thickest, Selan's people even had located the plasmoid which had been producing the others, several days before Mantelish arrived to confirm their find.
"Fine," said Commissioner Tate. He got to his feet. "Then let's go join Mantelish." "Why the professor?" "He could help a lot with the explaining. If he's in the mood. Anyway he's got a kind of pet I'd like you to look at." "A pet!" cried Trigger. She shook her head again and stood up resignedly. "Lead on, Commissioner!"
"We were wondering, Miss Farn," Rak said questioningly, "whether you have the authority to requisition additional University League guards for the Plasmoid Project?" Trigger shook her head. "I've got no authority of any kind that I know of, as far as the League is concerned. No doubt Professor Mantelish could arrange it for you." Rak nodded. "Is it possible for you to contact Professor Mantelish?"
The same thing in the Maccadon Precol office. Same thing at the Evalee Home office. Same thing at the U-League any office. Then I try to contact Mantelish. I'm informed he's with Tate! The two of them have left word I'm to carry on." She spread her hands. "Carry on with what?
She looked curiously at the Commissioner. "I didn't have a chance to talk to Major Quillan alone, so I'm wondering why Mantelish was told the I-Fleets in the Vishni area are hunting for planets with plasmoids on them. I thought you felt he was too woolly-minded to be trusted." "We couldn't keep that from him very well," Holati said. "He was the boy who thought of it."
After a few hours of this, 112 suddenly extruded a section of its material, which detached itself and moved off slowly under its own power through half the station, trailed with great excitement by Mantelish and Azol. It stopped at a point where another plasmoid had been removed for laboratory investigations, climbed up and settled down in the place left vacant by its predecessor.
The Commissioner's ship was there, plus a half dozen tents, plus a sizable I-Fleet unit with lab facilities which Selan's outfit had loaned Mantelish for the duration. There were some fifteen, twenty people in all about the camp at the moment. They knew she was loafing around in the water up here and wouldn't disturb her. Strictly speaking, of course, she wasn't loafing.
But it was very brief. The professor wanted to learn more about the First Lady's depravities himself. and its various possible associations with the main unit. But by the time this information became available to her, 113-A had been placed under heavy guard. Professor Mantelish had made one attempt to smuggle it out to her. Huff-huff! but had been unable to walk past the guards with it.
"It was a complete and detailed report!" "True," Holati said, "but the report the U-League got didn't happen to be the one Professor Mantelish helped make up. We'll go into that later. The plasmoid the professor was experimenting with was the 112-113 unit." He shifted his gaze to Mantelish. "Still want me to tell it?" "Yes, yes!" Mantelish said impatiently.
They found the first spots of the fungus a few minutes later. "Fungus!" Mantelish said, startled. He began to rumble in his pockets. "My microscope " "I have it." Lyad handed it to him. She looked at him with concern. "You don't think " "It seems possible. We did come in here last night, remember? And we came straight from the lab." "But we had been decontaminated," Lyad said puzzledly.
