"I just said I thought plasmoids were rather unpleasant. But that's the way I used to feel about them. I don't feel that way now." "Except again," said Pilch, "for that little monstrosity on the ship. If it was a plasmoid. You rather suspect it was, don't you?" Trigger nodded. "That would be pretty bad!" "Very bad," said Pilch.
"Get those little branches in the glasses," she said. Pilch said presently, "Got them." Trigger stood up and faced up to the sequoia. She cupped her hands to her mouth, took a deep breath, and yelled. "Yoo-hoo! Reee-pul-sive!" Down in the garden, Mantelish straightened and looked about angrily. Then he saw Trigger and smiled.
"I heard," Pilch said. She smiled. "You picked a good one on the second try!" "Quillan's all right," Trigger agreed. "If you watch him a little." "Anyway," said Pilch, "Commissioner Tate seems to be just the least bit worried about you still." Trigger put a finger to her temple and made a small circling motion. "A bit ta-ta?" "Not exactly that, perhaps.
About like we use weed-killers. Wholesale. They could clean out the average planet of any particular thing they didn't want there in about a week. So it's not really too likely the Jesters will be back." "Oh!" said Pilch. "But if they are coming, Repulsive thought they'd be due in this area in about another eight centuries. That looked like a very short time to him, of course.
"I wouldn't be surprised," said the Commissioner. "I was put through to that Pilch after a while. She said to remind you to listen to your thinking whenever you can get around to it. Know what she meant?" "I'm not sure I do," Trigger said hesitantly. "But she's mentioned it. I'll give it a whirl. Why are we going to Luscious?" "Selan's Fleet found plasmoids on it. It's in the Vishni area."
Take Mantelish's big tree out there!" "The sequoia?" "Yes. Now just last year it was looking so bad they almost talked the professor into having it taken away. Hardly a green branch left on it." Pilch shaded her eyes and looked at the sequoia's crown far above them. "It looks," she observed reflectively, "in fairly good shape at the moment, I'd say!" "Yes, and it's getting greener every week.
"If they did come," Trigger said, "I guess we'd take them anyway. We've taken everything else like that that came long. And besides " Her voice trailed off thoughtfully. She studied the table top for a moment. Then she looked up at Pilch. "Well," she said, smiling, "any other questions?" "A few," said Pilch, passing up the "and besides " She considered.
But it seems," said Pilch, "that you've told him a good deal about the history of the Old Galactics, including what ended them as a race thirty-two thousand years ago." Trigger's face clouded a little. "Yes," she said. She sat silent for a moment. "Well, I got that from Repulsive somewhere along the line," she said then. "It didn't really come clear until some time after we'd got back.
"Listen to myself thinking?" "You'll find yourself getting the knack of it rather quickly," Pilch said. She smiled. "Just head off in that general direction whenever you find the time, and don't work too hard at it. Are there any questions now before we start back to Manon?" Trigger studied her a moment. "There's one thing I'd like to be sure about," she said.
You're another, by the way. We're just smart about different things. Not so very different." "You were smart about this," Trigger said. She swung her legs off the couch and regarded Pilch dubiously. Pilch grinned. "Took most of the disagreeableness out of it, didn't it?" "Yes," Trigger admitted, "it did. Now what do we do?" "Now," said Pilch, "I'll explain."
