Luis Gofredo was just as distrustful of them as they were of the Terrans; he kept the camp lighted, a strong guard on the alert, and the area of darkness beyond infra red lighted and covered by photoelectric sentries on the ground and snoopers in the air. Like Paul Meillard, Luis Gofredo was a worrier and a pessimist.
"So far. You?" "They got past me, but they didn't hit me. How's Johnny?" "I don't know," Greg said. "I think he's been hurt. Tom, you'd better get off, they'll have snoopers...." "All right, listen," Tom said. "How does it look to you?" "Bad. We're outnumbered, they'll be through to here any minute." "All right, I've got an idea. It's risky, but it might let us pull something out of this mess.
"And we folks in this part, we don't like snoopers. Understand?" "No," said Bull frankly, "I don't exactly figure what you mean." Then he dropped his hand to his hip. "Git your hand off that gun!" said the sheriff, his own weapon flashing instantly in the light. It had been a move like lightning. Its speed stunned and baffled Bull Hunter.
He was to await my signal to reopen them, but he was not to release me under any circumstance if snoopers were abroad. My secretary was vastly disturbed by the news I imparted.
Luis Gofredo saw to it that the camp itself would be visible-lighted, and beyond the lights he set up more photoelectric robot sentries and put a couple of snoopers to circling on contragravity, with infra-red lights and receptors. He also insisted that all his own men and all Dave Questell's Navy construction engineers keep their weapons ready to hand.
Vienna is perhaps the one city in the world which maintains a consistent attitude of genuine indifference toward the outsider, which resents the intrusion of snoopers from these pallid States, which deliberately makes it difficult for foreign Florizels to find diversion. The liveliest places in Vienna present the gloomiest exteriors.
"Naturally, I won't object to mnemonic erasure of matters pertaining to your business once my contract's completed and I leave your employment. But until then there will be no conditioning, no erasures, no taps, no snoopers, and no checkups other than the regular periodic psychans. I'll consult with you on vacation time and will arrange it to suit your convenience.
"But I hate a snooper worse than I do a rat. You can take them arms down." Bull lowered them cautiously. "You hear me talk?" asked the sheriff. "I hear," said Bull obediently. "I don't like snoopers. Which means that I don't like you none too well. Besides, who in thunder are you? A wanderin' vagrant you look to me, and we got a law agin' vagrants.
Food, high in calories and small in bulk, was a necessity on their excursions and nourishing pemmican high in protein quickly replaced the cloying and messy candybar. We made no profit, but we suffered no loss and the factory was in actual operation so that no snoopers could ever accuse us of selling stock in an enterprise with a purely imaginary existence.
"It is as I expected," said Bertram, wiping his heated brow on the window curtain. "You have been reading books." "Besides that," continued Gladys, ignoring the deadly charge, "you have no money." The blood of the Snoopers rose hastily and mantled the cheek of Bertram D. He put on his coat and moved proudly to the door. "Stay here till I return," he said, "I will be back in fifteen years."
