"I'll know it if the suppressives start to wear off, won't I?" Rip asked. "You certainly will. You'll get weaker rapidly." "How rapidly?" "Perhaps six hours. Perhaps more." Rip nodded.

The ship’s radiation safety officer had put both Rip’s and Santos’s dosimeters into his measuring equipment. They had taken over a hundred roentgens of hard radiation above the tolerance limit. This was the result of being caught unshielded when the last nuclear charge went off. "Sir," Rip pleaded, "you can load us with suppressives. It’s only a few days more before we reach Terra.
If I let you go back to the asteroid, I'll only be delaying the time when you start full treatment." "But the delay won't hurt if you inject us with suppressives, will it?" Rip asked quickly. "Don't they keep the sickness checked?" "Yes, for a maximum of about ten days. Then they no longer have sufficient effect, and you come down with it." "But it won't take ten days," Rip pointed out.
