Manulito had spread the suit on the ground and was examining it with a care which spoke of familiarity. "This is unharmed," he reported. "Ready to wear." The suits were all tailored for size, Travis knew. And this fitted a slender, medium-sized man. It would fit him, Travis Fox. But Manulito was already unbuckling the fastenings with practiced ease. "I shall try it out," he announced.
"If we took weapons from there and lost the fight...." He advanced his first objection and was glad to see the expression of comprehension on Jil-Lee's face. "It would be putting the weapons straight into Red hands," the other agreed. "We may have to chance it before we're through," Manulito warned. "Suppose we do get some of their technicians into this trap.
He beckoned to Jil-Lee. "Give me a hand up there." "Why?" "I want to see if the space suits are intact." Jil-Lee regarded Travis with open bewilderment, but Manulito pushed forward. "We do not need those suits to walk here, Travis. This air we can breathe " "Not for the air, and not in the open." Travis advanced at a deliberate pace. "Those suits may be insulated in more ways than one "
Manulito had already gone to cover, to don the space suit and prepare for any accident. Resolutely Travis continued to propel Kaydessa ahead. At the moment he did not know which was worse, to enter the ship expecting the fear to strike, or to meet it unprepared. He was ready to refuse to enter, not to allow the girl, sullenly plodding on under his compulsion, to face that unseen but potent danger.
Yet he knew that the girl would not be hurt, and he had made sure he would be beside her within the globe, sharing with her the horror of the unseen. A rattling of gravel down the narrow valley opening gave warning to those by the campfire. Manulito had already stowed the space suit in hiding. To Kaydessa they must have seemed reverted entirely to savagery.
