"The indicator, interpreted means we have about forty-eight minutes in which to complete the first phase of the transplantation of the brains into human heads. It might be done if we start in eight minutes. But the human heads ?" He paused. "Eight minutes!" said Leithgow worriedly. "Eight minutes for Carse to come!
The switch and main control are in the left-hand glove." "Thank you! Oh, thank you! You give us a chance!" exclaimed old Leithgow. He turned and looked for the Hawk, and found him already in the lockers and pulling out three space-suits. The clumsy, heavy cone of a portable heat-ray lay on the table ready to hand. They had little time to waste.
Again he scrutinized the black untenanted wastes of space above. Far out, approaching as rapidly as it dared, was the Sandra. He wanted to be sure, so he cut in his mike and asked Leithgow if they had, through their electelscope, seen, Ku Sui leave the asteroid. The anxious scientist told him they had not.
Envision it: this arch-foe of Hawk Carse and Leithgow helping their designs, lending all his intellect, his great skill, to their purposes, aiding them in everything! Certainly, afterwards, the memory of what he had been forced to do must have occasioned Dr. Ku many bitter moments.
Within two hours Friday, in the ranch's air-car, had retrieved the cached suit. Ban Wilson had manned and made ready his personal space-ship for the trip to the laboratory, and Eliot Leithgow had jotted down a few preliminary plans for the infra-red and ultra-violet instruments which Carse would need in order to see the invisible asteroid of Dr. Ku Sui.
But to relieve your mind, I've not yet decided how I can entertain you most suitably. I have come primarily to ask you one trifling thing." "And that is?" "The whereabouts of Master Scientist Eliot Leithgow." Hawk Carse smiled. "Your conceit lends you an extraordinary optimism, Dr. Ku." "Not unfounded, I am sure.
Master Scientist Eliot Leithgow blinked as he looked about the laboratory. Helpless, pitifully alone he looked, with his small, slightly stooped body, his tragedy-aged, deeply-lined face.
Unseen hands opened from the other side the metal laboratory door, they passed through and the close-fitting halves closed behind them. Ku Sui went to the main switchboard and Carse glanced rapidly around. Leithgow was not there.
Your presence graces my home, and, however unworthily, distinguishes me, rewarding as it does aspirations which I have long held. I am humbly confident that great achievements will result from your visit " Quickly Eliot Leithgow turned and looked squarely at him. There was no bending of spirit in the frail old man. "Yes," he said, "my visit.
His left hand had been pulling at his bangs of flaxen hair; his brain had been working very fast. He added coldly: "Yes, there is a way." Leithgow and Ku Sui looked at him inquiringly. "We need four bodies," he went on. "We have one the coolie; he is not needed to assist in the operations. Four bodies and here, ready, in twenty-five minutes.
