Along the side and back edges of the shelf stick projecting strips of stout paper. When the adhesive is dry, turn the strips round the end at right angles to the division, glue them outside, and lay the division in position on top of the "spacer." Place the second drawer and shelf in like manner, and continue till the top of the cabinet is reached. Then mark off and cut away any superfluous card.
Tau did not appear surprised at that demand the Medic of a Free Trading spacer was never surprised at anything. He had his surfeit of shocks during his first years of service and after that accepted any occurrence, no matter how weird, as matter-of-fact. In addition Tau's hobby was "magic," the hidden knowledge possessed and used by witch doctors and medicine men on alien worlds.
Even the spaceship wasn't the absolute proof that would be needed to overturn the earlier legal decision. Other and better proof was needed something that would stand up in any court in the Brotherhood. He hoped the spaceship would hold that proof. But Kennon's eagerness to find out what was inside the ancient spacer was tempered by hard practicality.
The Queen had earthed with her distress lights on and no one had remembered to snap them off. Now they acted as a beacon to draw the flitter to its berth. Dane brought the stripped flyer down on the fused ground as close to the spot from which he had taken off as he could remember. Now if those on the spacer would only move fast enough !
Cut out the bottom to fit inside the back and sides exactly, and a sufficient number of shelves of precisely the same size as the bottom. Attach the bottom to the sides and back with internal and external strips. When the glue has set, place the guide drawer in position, and lay on it a piece of thin card to cover it over. This card is merely a removable "spacer."
On one the largest, the captive gorp, still curled in a round carapace protected ball, was bound with the net. The second supported the wounded Salarik clansman and onto the third the Terrans lifted the I-S man. "We'll deliver him to his own ship," Rip decided. "He must have tailed us here as a spy " He asked a passing Salarik as to where they could find the Company spacer.
"Could have taken off in the spacer." "Wass doesn't have the reputation of letting any project get out of his hands." Vye remembered. "Oh your billion credit deal." To his surprise Hume laughed. "Seems all very far and out of orbit now, doesn't it, Lansor? Yes, our billion credit deal but that was thought out before we knew there were more players around the table than we counted. I wonder...."
Against that column of light they could make out the sky-pointed taper of the spacer and the auto-pilot landed them beside that ship in the middle of an area well lighted by the steady shaft of light from the tripod standing where the atom lamp had been on the night they had made their escape from camp. Climbing stiffly from the small flyer they advanced with caution.
They were entitled to human rights whether they wanted them or not. His first idea of making the spacer operational was a good one, Kennon decided as they finished the inspection of the ship. Even if it was never used it would make a good means of retreat. He grinned wryly. In a guerrilla operation such as the one he was considering it would be wise to have a way out if things got too hot.
No more wind and gloom, he stood directly behind the pilot's web-sling, facing a vista-plate and rows of controls, just as he had stood so many times in the derelict. He had made it! This was the control cabin of the spacer. And it was alive the faint thrumming in the air, the play of lights on the boards. Ross pulled the cowl of his Foanna cloak up over his head.
