The report sent back to Space Academy by Major Connel had been answered with a commendation to both Roger and Shinny for capturing Loring and Mason. With Roger back in the unit, Tom was at peace. Even Alfie was overjoyed at seeing Roger back aboard the Polaris. And Tom had noticed that Major Connel was beginning to call them by their first names! "Radar deck to control deck!" said Alfie.
Without breaking his transmission, the ground controller asked if the radar operator still had the lock-on because on the scope the distance between two blips had almost doubled in one sweep of the antenna. This indicated that the unknown target had almost doubled its speed in a matter of seconds. For ten minutes the ground radar followed the chase.
It repeated the positioning of dots which were stray meteoric matter in the space between worlds in this system. What had been a spot the Plumie ship was now a line of dots. Baird pressed the button. "Radar reporting!" he said curtly. "The Plumie ship is heading for us. I'll have relative velocity in ten seconds." He heard the skipper swear.

When the echo comes back to the radar set, the radar operator doesn't have to listen for it and time it because this is all done for him by the radar set and he sees the "answer" on his radarscope a kind of a round TV screen. What the radar operator sees is a bright dot, called a "blip" or a "return."
The quickness of his lunge caught Roger off guard and he was thrown back against the bulkhead, but he held onto the rifle as Loring tried to twist it out of his grasp.

Just at that moment Shinny stepped through the hatch and fired his rifle.
"Then you'll call off the evacuation operations, sir?" asked Strong. "Right." Walters turned to Sid. "Son, send a message back to Titan control and tell Captain Howard to stop all evacuations as soon as he has enough oxygen to provide for the citizens of Titan. And then stand by for a general order to all units in this area." "Yes, sir," said Sid, climbing back up to the radar bridge quickly.
