Bishop Rodan, the herd Patrick left him in Muirisk, in Cill-espuig-Rodain. His calves would only do what he counselled; wherefore the harpers and musicians had a proverb. The Callraighe of Cul-Cernadhan were in a secret place before Patrick, and they brought their spears close to their shields to assault Patrick and his people. "My debroth," said Patrick, "what you did is not good.
You would always have to go down to that devils' wilderness to find out. "I'll try it, Mr. Rodan," he said. "Selenography that's one of my favorite subjects, sir!" David Lester burst out, making a gingerly leap across the horrible void of spherical sky stars in all directions except where the Moon's bulk hung. "Could I too?" His trembling mouth looked desperate.
How long would the chemical batteries actually last? What breaks might appear? They loped along, even Rodan hurrying. They made a hundred miles in the hours before darkness. With just Helen's shoulder lamp showing the way, they continued onward through the mountains. Was there truly much to tell, in that slow, losing struggle?
There'll be a plant belonging to Hoffman Chemicals here, before too long. I was prospecting for them, for a site like this. Actually I was very lucky, locating this spot almost right away which is fortunate. They think I'm still looking, and aren't concerned..." Rodan was quiet for a moment before continuing. The pupils of his eyes dilated and contracted strangely.
After twenty hours, the power of the chemical batteries began to wane. David Lester, hovering close to Helen, muttered to himself, or to her. Rodan, still marching quite strongly, retreated into an unreality of his own. "Have another scotch on the rocks, Ralph," he said genially.
"Good for you, Les," Nelsen enthused, relieved. "Only well, skip it, for now." Two work periods later, he approached Rodan. "It will take months to sift all this dust," he said. "I may not want to stay that long." The pupils of Rodan's eyes flickered again. "Oh?" he said. "Per contract, you can quit anytime. But I provide no transportation.
Daylight ended with the sunset. Two weeks of darkness was no period for any moves. At sunup, a second month was almost finished! And ten acres of dust was less than half-sifted... In the shop and supply dome, David Lester had been chemically analyzing the dregs of various Martian containers for Rodan.
Nelsen saw Rodan and Dutch unlatch the collars of their helmets, preparatory for removing them, as they usually did if they stayed here a while, to pack new artifacts or stow tools. Nelsen made as if to unlatch his collar, too. But if he did it, the gasket would be unsealed, and his helmet would no longer be airtight. Now! he told himself.
Rodan, Dutch, and he had come into the supply and shop dome, through its airlock. Lester and Helen these two introverts had somehow discovered each other, and were getting along well together were visible through the transparent wall, lingering at the diggings.
Of course all he wanted to do was to get the upper hand on Rodan and Dutch, take over the camp, get the missing parts of his radio and Archer, borrow the solar tractor, and get out of here. To Serenitatis Base Serene. His only preparation was to sharpen the edges of a diamond-shaped trowel used at the diggings, with a piece of pumice. Then he waited. Opportunity came near sundown, after a shift.
