Evening had come to Sargol but the scene immediately below was not in darkness. Blazing torches advanced in lines from the grass forest and the portable flood light of the spacer added to the general glare, turning night into noonday. Van Rycke and Jellico sat on stools facing at least five of the seven major chieftains with whom they had conferred to no purpose earlier.
Weeks activated the outer hatch and the crane lines plucked the small vehicle out of the Queen, swinging it dizzily down to the blast scored apron. "Make for the tower " Rip's voice was thin in the helmet coms. Dane at the controls of the crawler pulled on as Ali cast off the lines which anchored them to the spacer. Through the bubble helmet he could see the frenzied activity in the aroused port.
Tipped out of its cage the Hoobat scuttled forward, straight for the panel which opened on the large cargo space and there waited, as if for them to open the portal and admit the hunter to its hunting territory. Across the lock of the panel was the seal set in place by Van Rycke before the spacer had lifted from Sargol. Under Dane's inspection it showed no crack.
Tang turned to his neighbor, Johan Stotz, the Queen's Engineer. "What's he going for?" Stotz shrugged. Weeks was a self-effacing man so much so that even in the cramped quarters of the spacer very little about him as an individual impressed his mates a fact which was slowly dawning on them all now.
After all, his experience was part of his record, which was open to anyone on board the spacer. Yes, he was not a veteran; they must all know that. "Someday you'll lose a little of that suspicion," the com-tech continued, "and find out it isn't such a bad old world after all. Here, let's see if you're on the beam."
So it was that Starns was installed in the com cabin of the spacer, sending out the request for Patrol aid, while Rovald was locked in the storage compartment of the same ship, pending arrival of those same authorities. As Hume sorted out supplies and Vye loaded them into the waiting flitter, Yactisi approached the Hunter. "You have a definite plan of search?" "Just to cast north from their camp.
The wheel disc is then screwed to a perfectly flat board or plate, the wooden disc being used as a spacer between them. Slip a blade into place on the disc, easing the central slit, if necessary, to allow the near edge to lie in contact with the board that is parallel to the disc. Solder on the blade, using the minimum of solder needed to make a good joint.
Now Rynch considered the problem from his own angle. The man from the spacer had made no effort to conceal his trail, in fact it would almost seem that he had deliberately gone out of his way to leave boot prints on favorable stretches of ground. Did he guess that Rynch lurked behind, was now leading him on for some purpose of his own?
Just as he had made his own plan for reaching the spacer, so had Ashe, Karara, and the dolphins worked on a similar attempt. The river running deep in those mountain gorges had provided a road for the dolphins and they found beneath its surface an entrance past the force barrier.
The first runner is laid touching the spacer and a little back from the edge to give room for the cross-bar, and fastened by means of short tacks, for which holes had better be drilled in the runner to prevent splitting. The spacer is now transferred to the other side of the runner, and the second runner is fastened on above it; and so on till all the runners are in position.
