Silently cursing his lack of judgment, Raf made a careful check of the flyer, which might not be necessary but going through the motions of doing his duty gave him some relief. Once the idea struck him of claiming some trouble that would take them back to the spacer for repairs. But Hobart was too good a mechanic himself not to see through that.
Dalgard cupped his chin in his hand and tried to imagine what it would be like to shut oneself up in a small metal-walled spacer and set out blindly to leave one world for another. His ancestors had done that, and they had traveled in cold sleep, ignorant of whether they would ever reach their goal. They had been very brave, or very desperate, men.
Didn't he know about the spacer? Or had Douglas turned on his cousin? The pup had so many hates that it was possible. He was a natural troublemaker. Maybe Alexander didn't know. Maybe he was working in the dark. Kennon scanned the sheet quickly. Ah! here it was. Complaint Mr. Alexander X. M. Alexander, Skyline Tower 1024, Beta City! Alexander! Here on Beta!
Three more days and the old spacer would be as ready to fly as she would ever be. And after that, it was in the lap of fate. He ushered Blalok to his jeep and watched until he disappeared. "I'm getting to be a first-class liar," he remarked wryly to himself as he turned back to the temporary quarters he was occupying at the station. "And the bad thing about it is that I'm actually enjoying it."
And since we have a satellite guard in space, any ship landing would be taped and recorded. No such record appeared on the Guild screens. One small spacer such as Wass' could slip through by knowing procedure just as he did. But to land all those beasts and equipment they'd need a regular transport. No this must be native." Hume leaned forward again, flipped a switch.
If he could make this man believe he remembered everything clearly, more than just the scattered patches that he did.... "You had me planted here, then came back to hunt me. Why? What makes Rynch Brodie so important?" "Close to a billion credits!" The man from the spacer leaned well back in the hole, his arms spread flat out on either side to keep his body from sinking deeper.
But, Dane thought, their use only enhanced the authority of his description of what he had discovered on board the spacer and what he had done to counteract the power of the poison. When he had done Dane added a few last words. "We have broken the law," he admitted forthrightly, "but we were fighting in self-defense.
"Any dumping you do is strictly on your own. You've enough hands on a spacer that size to manage " Rip laughed. "Far be it from me to ask an Eysie to do any real work," was his counter. "We know all about you Company men " But the agent did not take fire at that jib.
"Why, a spacer cast out of this stuff and coated with Sally's paint would be light enough and shielded enough to work on regular missile fuels." Working under crash priorities, the nation's three leading plastics plants turned out three, lightweight, molded, one-man space vehicles from the government-supplied Melody's Mix.
No Salarik appeared for trade in the morning surprising the Terrans. Instead a second delegation, this time of older men and a storm priest, visited the spacer with an invitation to attend Paft's funeral feast, a rite which would be followed by the formal elevation of Groft to his father's position, now that he had revenged that parent.
