"Lord, I'm sure thankful to be with you, suh!" said the negro with relief. His eyes rolled as he took in the cabinlike cell. "Hmff nice homey little place," he remarked. "Where do you reckon we are, suh?" "I think we're at last at that place we have searched so long for Ku Sui's headquarters, his own spaceship."
Whatever variations their contacting took, there was another consideration, Carse's celestial charts revealed, and that was the proximity of the rendezvous to Jupiter's Satellite III, less than three hundred thousand miles. Satellite III harbored Port o' Porno, main refuge and home of the scavengers, the hi-jackers, and out-and-out pirates of space, so many of whom were under Ku Sui's thumb.
It was obviously preparing to enter the dome. "Take the helm, Ban, and watch him!" Carse ordered harshly, and ran aft from the control cabin. Leithgow and Friday, following at once, found him inside the open door of Dr. Ku Sui's cabin, examining two figures stretched limp at his feet. The men were Thorpe and Williams, who had been set to gas and guard the Eurasian. Carse said: "Both dead. Poison.
The brains even now were dying. The choice was: bodies of isuanacs or death for the brains. The scientist and the adventurer had chosen. Circumstances had required their use. Ku Sui's attempt to kill the brains, thus inflicting a time limit: the presence of the band of isuanacs near the laboratory; each circumstance with a long train of other, minor ones behind it.
Ku's exact reason for wanting the Master Scientist was, it was an ugly one: that it was worse than quick death, he knew full well. Shear through the web. How? Where was the weak strand in Ku Sui's cunningly laid plot? The Hawk visualized all he could of the asteroid's mechanical details, and surveyed them painstakingly.
Ku Sui's easy assumption that the information as to Eliot Leithgow's whereabouts would be forthcoming from his lips, puzzled him, brought real anxiety. Torture would probably not be able to force his tongue to betray his friend, but there were perhaps other means. Of these he had a vague and ominous apprehension. Dr.
"No, suh only that the three platform guards keep lookin' down towards the center of the ranch." "Good. That means Ku Sui's being received," said Carse; and then he considered swiftly for a minute. Decided, he continued: "Ban and Friday, you both wait where you are, keeping a steady lookout. None of us can see the asteroid, but it must be somewhere comparatively near, for Dr.
This his lonely, unsuspected home, come for a while to rest.... Hawk Carse scanned it closely. It lay roughly head-on to him, its nearest massive, craggy end lying some three miles from where he hung. On that end lived the life of the asteroid, and were located all Ku Sui's works.
