And I did. This morning. Before I called you." "What did he say?" Rak grimaced unhappily. "He implied, Miss Farn, that his present guard complement could handle any emergency. How would he know?" "That's his job," Trigger pointed out gently. The Juniors did look badly worried. "He didn't have any helpful ideas?" "None," said Rak.

Rak did the talking, as on the previous occasions when Trigger had met with this group. The advisory committee simply sat there and watched him. As far as Trigger could figure it, they were present at these sessions only to check Rak if it looked as if he were about to commit some ghastly indiscretion.

In Bishop Pallegoix's excellent work, Description du Royaume Thai ou Siam, I*. 144, he says: "L'arbre a vernis qui est une espece de bananier, et que les Siamois appellent 'rak, fournit ce beau vernis qu'on admire dans les petits meubles qu'on apporte de Chine."

"Why, what time is it?" "Midnight." "Well, I shall turn in." "If you will take my advice," said the captain, "you won't leave any odds and ends lying about to-night. We shall have a dance before morning." "Think so?" said Claudius indifferently. "Why, Doctor, where are your eyes? You are a right Svensk sailor when you are awake. You have smelled the foam in Skager Rak as well as I."

"Big, ugly thing well, that describes a lot of them, doesn't it?" Rak and the others looked quietly affronted. In a moment, Trigger realized, one of them was going to go into a lecture on functional esthetics unless she could head them off and she'd already heard quite enough about functional esthetics in connection with the plasmoids.

"Is that 112-113 such a particularly important item?" "If Doctor Fayle is in personal charge of it," Rak said carefully, "I would say yes." Recalling her meetings with Doctor Gess Fayle in the Manon System, Trigger silently agreed.

Your section of the project is supposed to be raidproof anyway." Rak glanced at his companions again and apparently received some undetectable sign of consent. "Miss Farn, as you know, our group has been entrusted with the care of two League plasmoids here.

One must assume that the victimized laboratories also had been regarded as raidproof." Trigger admitted it was a reasonable assumption. "There is another matter," Rak went on. "When we arrived here, we understood Doctor Gess Fayle was to bring Plasmoid Unit 112-113 to this project.

"Coming," she said. Junior Scientist Rak and his advisory committee two other young men and a young woman were waiting in the conference room for her. They all stood up when she came in. This room marked the border of their territory; they would have violated several League rules by venturing out into the hall through which Trigger had entered. And that would have been unthinkable.

"The only picture of a Rak that I ever saw in a book was rather blurred," said Files, "because the book was not quite ripe when it was picked. But the creature can fly in the air and run like a deer and swim like a fish. Inside its body is a glowing furnace of fire, and the Rak breathes in air and breathes out smoke, which darkens the sky for miles around, wherever it goes.
