Permit me to introduce Dr. Ishie's adaptation of a French invention of some years previous, which permits the development of high voltages by the application of heat to the evaporation of a fluid medium such as water of which we have plenty aboard and you won't miss the little that I requisitioned causing these molecules to separate and pass at high speed through these various grids, providing electrostatic potentials in their passage which can be added quite fantastically to produce the necessary D.C. field which...."
Rather an effective saboteur, but you'll have a hard time putting him up against a firing wall." Having satisfied himself as to existing conditions, Mike excused himself shortly and went back to the engineering quarters, but his mind was no longer on Ishie's strange device.
That last they had broadcast back to Earth, thrown, as it were, into the screaming teeth of the new dictatorial leaders. Mike leaned back from what he was doing and caught Ishie's eye. He chuckled, and said "That was quite a mass of stuff that the Cow upchucked on your command. Why didn't you just freeze her like I thought you were going to do?"
Besides, Mike suspected in him a constitutional inability to deal through channels. Recognizing the true sensitivity that underlay Ishie's constant humor and ridicule of himself, Mike kept himself from laughing aloud at the stealth of the man who could have commanded the assistance of the captain himself in shielding whatever he thought it necessary to shield.
Then Mike heard Ishie's soft voice from behind him, slightly breathless. "At that, you'd better swing the rim and swing her fast, Mike. The captain sure 'nuff believes in his saboteurs, and it's just possible they're real." O.K., thought Mike, and really moving now he reached the engineering quarters a good ten strides ahead of his companion.
The tone of Ishie's voice indicated his uncertainty as to Mike's reception. The idea of Dr. Y Chi Tung worrying about any components he might have "requisitioned" seemed almost irreverent to Mike.
His eyes strayed across the various panels and racks and came to rest in the one hundred twelve degree area. A number of vacant racks, some holding the testing equipment he had moved there not too many hours before and churkling quietly in its rack near the floor, Ishie's Confusor of Confusion. Mike contemplated the device with awed respect, then phrased another question for the Cow.
"In other words," Mike was almost talking to himself as he tried to reword Ishie's theorizing into his own type of thinking, "the particle in motion creates a strain in the fabric the field of space; and that fabric must attempt to relieve itself of the strain.
