"Well, I think that right now's the best chance we'll ever have of doing something for ourselves." Costigan turned away from the absorbing scenes pictured upon the visiplate and faced his two companions. "But what can we possibly do?" asked Clio, and "Whatever it is, we'll try it!" Bradley exclaimed.
Clio looked once, then gasped, shutting her eyes and turning away from the table, but Costigan flipped the three fish into a platter and set it aside before he turned back to the visiplate. "They'll go good fried," he remarked to Bradley, signaling vigorously to Nerado that the meal was not acceptable and that he wanted to talk to him, in person.
No human brain can take it all, I'm afraid, especially all at once, but I'm going to kinda peck around the edges and get me some dope that I want pretty badly. We got a lot of stuff from that wampus." About sixty hours out, Dorothy, who had been observing the planet through number six visiplate, called Seaton away from the Fenachrone brain-record, upon which he was still concentrating.
Seaton stared into number one visiplate, manipulating levers and dials as he drove the Skylark hither and yon, dodging frantically, the while the automatic focusing devices remained centered upon the enemy and the enormous generators continued to pour forth their deadly frequencies.
The chart unrolled, and the nebulous masses of light were approached, became composed of faint stars, which developed as had the others, and were passed. Finally, when the picture filled the entire visiplate, they arrived at the outermost edge of the galaxy. No more stars were visible: they saw empty space stretching for inconceivably vast distances before them.
The Kondal followed, although the observers could see that Dunark was raging. Seaton swung number six visiplate around, looked once, and switched on the radio. "Well, Dunark," he said grimly. "You get your wish. That bird is coming out, with at least twice the acceleration we could get with both motors full on. He saw us all the time, and was waiting for us." "Go on get away if you can.
"Right and if worse comes to worst, remember the zone of force. Let him shoot first, because he may be peaceable but it doesn't look like olive branches to me." "Got both your screens out?" "Yes. Mart, you might take number two visiplate and work the guns I'll handle the rest of this stuff.
No hostile demonstration was made as they dropped lower and lower, however, and Seaton, with one hand upon the switch actuating the zone of force, slowly lowered the vessel down past the reflectors and to the surface of the water. Through the visiplate he saw the crowd of people coming toward them some swimming in the lagoon, some walking along narrow runways.
As they went on, the purple light continued to flash more and more rapidly, but still nothing was to be seen. "Take number six visiplate, will you, Mart? It's telescopic, equivalent to a twenty-inch refractor. I'll tell you where to look in a minute this reflector increases the power of the regular indicator." He studied meters and adjusted dials.
They had not been under way long when an alarm bell sounded its warning and a brilliant green light began flashing upon the board. "Hm ... m," DuQuesne frowned as he reversed the bar. "Outside intra-atomic energy detector. Somebody's using power out here. Direction, about dead ahead straight down. Let's see if we can see anything." He swung number six, the telescopic visiplate, into connection.
