That's enough information to make it worth an enemy's while." "I'll say!" Scotty turned to Zircon.

One of the huts had been fitted as contact-team headquarters, with all the view and communication screens installed, and one end partitioned off and soundproofed for Lillian to study recordings in. It was cocktail time when they returned; conversationally, it was a continuation from lunch.
