63134	You know what they are? 63134 You see, Bejamel?
63134	You''re dripping with jewels, are you taking those things with you?
63134	*****"And,"His Benevolence held up a hand that flashed with a vortex of prismatic fire from the many jewels,"what has become of your daughter, Perlac?
63134	After a pause she asked:"Will you come now?"
63134	And do n''t you think that I, too, could not bear to have you go alone?
63134	And to Estrella, who watched uncomprehendingly,"Are you ready?
63134	Are you mad, Perlac?
63134	Besides,"his voice was acid with scorn,"who wants a compromise?
63134	But who was_ The Law_?
63134	Care to go in and watch the therapy used?"

63134	I shall communicate with my fleet immediately, may I take one of the emergency planes?"
63134	In other words, who is going to breed revolt in every city and tier... and, above all, just how?"
63134	It was then that Bejamel turned to Estrella and was eyeing him with critical eyes and said sardonically:"Shall we make it unanimous?"
63134	Now, do you understand why you were brought here?"
63134	Or are you going to let those Irreconcilables become a cancer on the side of the empire?"
63134	Should condemn you and your strategists to the Blessed Sleep, but the quota of jewels is filled.... What do you plan doing now?
63134	Such a question, have you gone mad?"
63134	Then to Guerlan:"What do you propose to do with me?"
63134	Think you can remember all this?"
63134	What interest can you possibly have in a doomed life such as mine?"

63134	When do you begin your probationary period for the Inner Circle?"
63134	Why?
63134	Would his strategy win, he wondered?
63134	you?"
62316	And Tredrick?
62316	And betray him to Tredrick? 62316 And if we do n''t?"
62316	And now will you for God''s sake go?
62316	Do you have to make it harder? 62316 Get the hell on, will you?"
62316	How do I know? 62316 How else do you think Romany is going to stay free?
62316	How?
62316	It would n''t be Campbell?
62316	Little people like you, my son?
62316	Possibly you mean Eran Mak, the Chief Councillor?
62316	Roy Campbell?
62316	What did Tredrick tell you to do?
62316	What does?
62316	What goes on here, anyhow?
62316	Why am I sticking my neck out for a bunch of semi- human swamp- crawlers, anyhow?
62316	Why not? 62316 Will you get to hell out?"
62316	Will you go?
62316	With what?
62316	Yeah? 62316 Yeah?
62316	You think so, buddy?
62316	_ Help?_"Yes. 62316 And what becomes of you?
62316	Are we all ready?"
62316	But what''s the big idea behind this?"
62316	Campbell said wearily,"Stella, take the kid, will you?"
62316	Campbell said, in pure liquid Venusian,"What is it, Father?"
62316	Campbell said,"Cordial guy, are n''t you?
62316	Can you crawl to the Coalition like a_ sindar_ for the sake of the bones they throw you?
62316	Do you think I want to rot on Phobos in their stinking mines, with shackles on my feet?"
62316	Do you understand?"
62316	Do you want blood on your hands?"
62316	Does Tredrick think we''re children?"
62316	Have you forgotten Kesh, and Balakar, and the Wells of Tamboina?
62316	He added irritably,"Sister, will you for Pete''s sake get that light out of my eyes?"
62316	He said harshly,"You fool, do you think they''ll let you get away with this?
62316	He said"_ Tredrick?_"Marah nodded.
62316	He said,"What are we waiting for?"
62316	How''d you fix the getaway?"
62316	It''s hopeless for us, and you are--_hot_ is that the word?"
62316	Presently he said,"Could n''t you go further back into the swamps?"
62316	Since when have_ latniks_ been called to meddle in Romany''s affairs?"
62316	That makes us all pals, does n''t it?"
62316	That''s what Romany is, is n''t it-- a refuge for people like that?"
62316	The Taxil said, in a low, rapid voice:"You''re not lying about coming from the Kraylens?"
62316	The deep, soft voice said,"Who are you?"
62316	The old Kraylen murmured,"What happened to those others, my son?"
62316	There was an old man''s voice, murmuring,"Little people like you, my son?"
62316	What business did a Public Enemy with a low number and a high valuation have mixing into that?
62316	What gives here, anyway?
62316	What gives with you?"
62316	What matter if we die now-- or later?"
62316	What''s Tredrick''s angle?"
62316	Where''s your place in it?"
62316	Who are you and what do you want?"
62316	Who are you?"
62316	Why Kraylens, of all the unimportant people on Venus?
62316	Why do Earthmen have to change everything they lay their hands on?"
62316	Why do you wish to land, Mister Black?"
62316	Why?"
62316	You remember the frontier town of Lhi?"
59712	And you pretend it means nothing?
59712	Barton, for God''s sake, do n''t you realize how important this watch is? 59712 But how did he set this new arbitrary time of his?
59712	But then how did the leak repair itself and the temperature return to normal?
59712	Does n''t mean a thing to you does it?
59712	Fun? 59712 Getting a little lonely maybe?"
59712	Have n''t I been alert all the time, sir?
59712	Have you ever thought that you would kill yourself?
59712	How are things going, Barton?
59712	Is that you, Von Ulrich, sir?
59712	Is the child pretending to be asleep, or is it dead?
59712	Is the child sleeping?
59712	No, why should I give a damn what he''s thinking?
59712	Pretending what?
59712	Remember, Barton when you took your test for basketball duty? 59712 So?
59712	Twenty- two years, sir?
59712	What about little Joey''s future?
59712	What difference does it make?
59712	What do you see there, Barton?
59712	What does time matter in your mother''s womb?
59712	What time is it, Barton?
59712	What time is it, Barton?
59712	What were you thinking about when you moulded this thing?
59712	What''s he doing there?
59712	What''s that, sir?
59712	What''s the man thinking?
59712	Why not have groups of watchers if you''re so worried about one being alone?
59712	Why not leave him here? 59712 Why not, sir?"
59712	Why, sir, I didn''t--"But you know it''s true do n''t you?
59712	You do n''t care?
59712	You do n''t find the absence of women irritating, Barton?
59712	You feel comfortable, no anxiety?
59712	You know this man?
59712	You manage to keep occupied?
59712	You must have been thinking of something?
59712	You still pretend it meant nothing, that it means nothing now?
59712	You think I speak out of some mental senility, Zeiger? 59712 You want him to be just another stupid NCO?
59712	You were n''t by any chance thinking about a dead man?
59712	You what?
59712	You_ want_ me to have some sort of symptom or something?
59712	A damned freak, a mutation, an alien in disguise?"
59712	And not only that-- who knows what unique kind of personalized time he''s developing there inside himself?
59712	And what about his teeth?
59712	But remember how long you lay there in that tank?"
59712	Has time stopped here?
59712	How can your heart beat so many times a minute, a year, a lifetime if there''s no such thing here any more?"
59712	Is there any time here, Barton, when there''s nothing here to turn time into measurable segments?
59712	It is n''t anything you control, or had anything to do with developing, is it?
59712	It''s moving with the Galaxy but that ca n''t mean anything to you can it?
59712	So what time is it?
59712	Suddenly he asked,"Barton, what time is it?"
59712	The dead man''s float?"
59712	The heart beating every thirty- seven hours and fourteen seconds?"
59712	We all hate ourselves to some extent, why should you be different from everybody else?"
59712	What about my teeth protruding?"
59712	What about the fact that Jean was a replacement for your mother?"
59712	What about this?
59712	What difference does it make what you call it as long as I''m happy in it and do my job?"
59712	What does it add up to?
59712	What does that mean here to me, sir?"
59712	What happens to your heart- beat if your heart begins to forget how long a minute is?"
59712	What if you missed an alarm, or fouled up in some way, and one of these recorders destroyed all the data?"
59712	What the hell are you anyway?
59712	What time was it?
59712	What will happen then, Barton?
59712	What''s a minute?
59712	What''s it got to do with me now?
59712	Where are you in all this?
59712	Where did the arbitrary rhythm of that beat come from, Barton?
59712	Where does that figure come from?
59712	Who knows if we can even make a human comparison?"
59712	Why should I?"
59712	Why should n''t you?"
59712	Why should your heart go on beating regularly so many times a minute-- when there''s nothing out here that gives a minute any meaning?
59712	You expected to escape all responsibility and-- Barton, do you consider this basketball to be your mother?"
59712	You have n''t even noticed it, have you?"
59712	You want me to be personable and saleable and high on the success potential scale?
59712	You want to check his fingerprints?
59712	Your body works on a timetable does n''t it?
59712	Your wife, your son?"
18719	All set? 18719 And how about the bunks?"
18719	And the cooking system''s really good?
18719	And then?
18719	Anything we can do?
18719	Are you people getting any fresh vegetables from the hydroponic garden?
18719	But they''ll need me and my gang just the same,said Joe slowly,"for tugboat work at the Platform?"
18719	But what''re you to brief me about?
18719	But why does it appeal to you as something you want to do?
18719	D''you know if anybody ever made a weld with it?
18719	Derring- do and stuff, Joe?
18719	Everything''s loaded?
18719	Good sleep?
18719	Have you any ideas?
18719	Have you been assigned a definite rank as yet?
18719	Heroic again, eh? 18719 How about a date that night?"
18719	How about putting that brain of yours to work on a faster- than- light drive?
18719	How about the other ship?
18719	How come, Joe, he does n''t wish all of us good luck?
18719	How does it feel to be a victorious warrior?
18719	How much Portland cement is used to make a cubic yard of concrete?
18719	How''re we going to get back, Joe?
18719	How''s Haney and Mike making out?
18719	How''s the food?
18719	Mash note?
18719	Now what,said Sally interestedly,"in the world could you be thinking about me?"
18719	Okay, Mike?
18719	Powder metallurgy? 18719 Quite a change, eh?"
18719	See if you can get them direct, Mike, will you?
18719	Shall we knock?
18719	Then I can tell Mike it''s good stuff?
18719	Then what, Joe?
18719	They''ll attack the Platform?
18719	They''re going to the Moon-- and leave us here to do stevedore stuff?
18719	Things look better?
18719	What day is today?
18719	What do you expect?
18719	What for?
18719	What is it, Mike?
18719	What''s it for?
18719	What''s that?
18719	What''s the matter with you? 18719 What''s the matter?"
18719	What''s the radar say?
18719	What''s your opinion?
18719	What?
18719	Why? 18719 Will you guys let me in on this?"
18719	Write me a letter, will you?
18719	Yes?
18719	You reported, Joe?
18719	You tell that,he panted shrilly,"and so help me----""What''s got into you?"
18719	_ And do you realize that if you ca n''t unload your cargo you ca n''t get back to Earth?_"Yes,said Joe.
18719	_ What''s that?_Then it returned to Joe.
18719	All firing racks loaded outside?"
18719	All set?
18719	And-- do you know, I must be the first girl in the world to make a date with the Man in the Moon?"
18719	Are we going to make it?"
18719	Are you an enlisted man?"
18719	Assuming solid- fuel rockets like we used and you used, they are on a collision course._""Are you doing anything about them?"
18719	But all he said was,''How are you, Son?
18719	But since all my crew ca n''t return, how many can you take?
18719	But what are we going to do, Joe, if somebody flings seven bombs at us?
18719	But what''ll we do with the one that''s left over?"
18719	But would that do us any good?
18719	But-- if we could handle guided missiles, why could n''t we handle drones?"
18719	Can you pick up anything with your radar?"
18719	Can you take six?
18719	Could a space ship crew control guided missiles and fight its way back to ground with them?
18719	Crazy, huh?"
18719	D''you get that?_"Joe heard his own voice, very cold.
18719	D''you think that''s new stuff, Joe?"
18719	Do n''t you feel good?"
18719	Forgotten?
18719	Freeze it?"
18719	Get it?
18719	Had breakfast?"
18719	Had n''t you better come in?_"The Chief growled:"_ We wo n''t be any safer there!
18719	Have n''t you known people who had to think everybody else was stupid to keep from knowing that they were themselves?"
18719	Have you got space suits in your ship?
18719	He gasped for breath and croaked,"Drones?"
18719	He looked at Sally and said eagerly,"We''ve got a date the evening I get back?"
18719	He said blandly:"Well?"
18719	He said,"It''s daring somebody to try another Pearl Harbor?"
18719	How about it?
18719	How about the others?_"Joe felt a remarkable exhilaration.
18719	How can I report this affair?
18719	How many bombs can we knock down with them?"
18719	How many passengers can you take back to the Platform?_"Joe blinked at him.
18719	How''ll he like this idea?"
18719	Joe said distastefully,"And Sanford''s cracked up because he knows he''s going to be killed?"
18719	Joe said evenly,"Our arrival''s been reported?"
18719	Joe said hopefully:"Any orders for me to join it?"
18719	Joe said somberly:"Mike, how long before we ought to contact the Platform?"
18719	Joe said:"Chief, how about getting back to the Platform?"
18719	Joe said:"Yes, Sally?"
18719	Joe''s father said unsteadily,"You''ll stay on Earth a while now, son?"
18719	Join me?
18719	Mike said crisply:"How long before they can do it?"
18719	Mike''s sharp voice barked:"What''s the chance, Haney?"
18719	Or simply one a day for a week?"
18719	Right?"
18719	Sanford said unpleasantly,"You want to report your heroism, eh?
18719	See?"
18719	Shall I count?_"Joe panted,"Count!"
18719	Shall I give the word?
18719	Shoes, Mike?"
18719	Should n''t there be someone inside the Platform?"
18719	Suppose they send eight next time?
18719	The Chief said exuberantly:"Did you hear that, Mike?
18719	Then he added untruthfully:"He said he thought he knew all the big men in his line, and where''ve you been that he has n''t heard of you?"
18719	Then he said,"Joe, do you know anything about powder metallurgy?"
18719	Then he said,"Why not?
18719	There are four rockets coming up, you say?"
18719	Try, will you?_""I''m afraid we''re going to have to trust to luck,"admitted Joe ruefully.
18719	Understand?"
18719	Wanna hear?"
18719	Was it wise?
18719	What does the major say?"
18719	What other fascinating topic do you know to talk about, Joe?"
18719	What''s all this about?"
18719	What''s got into you, anyway?"
18719	What''s the matter with me, Mike?
18719	When do we hit again?"
18719	When will you be back?"
18719	Where''ll we be at contact- time, Joe?"
18719	Where''s this Mike you talked about?''"
18719	Why ca n''t we get back in?
18719	Why ca n''t you big lummoxes see it?"
18719	Why did n''t I think of that?"
18719	Why?"
18719	Why?"
18719	Why?"
18719	Why?"
18719	Will you open the cargo doors?"
18719	You came out?
18719	You hear me?_""I''ll try,"said Joe humbly.
18719	You''re feeling all right for the attempt today?"
18719	You''ve got your cargo invoice?"
31116	A flare, Mike? 31116 And Dr. Schmidt, will you connect the storage power supply you have readied, please?"
31116	And just what are you doing here?
31116	And just_ what_,Mike inquired,"were you planning to do about it besides having me shoot you by mistake?"
31116	Anything that might make his behavior erratic?
31116	Are all the project members here?
31116	But why, then,she said, uncomprehending,"are you hiding it?"
31116	But, Mike, how are you going to get out there?
31116	But--Mike and Ishie simultaneously choked over their food, looked at each other, and then Mike blurted out,"but how could_ she_ know?"
31116	Can they activate it?
31116	Can you hide it in here? 31116 Coffee?"
31116	Come on down to engineering will you Ishie?
31116	Could such an effect have a sufficiently great effect on this ship to give it as much as six hundred forty pounds of thrust?
31116	Did Major Elbertson seem normal to you when you discharged him from hospital?
31116	Did you know that seven men were going out to Hot Rod?
31116	Did you say six hundred forty pounds?
31116	Do you know what the key looks like?
31116	Exactly how much thrust is being exerted on that point?
31116	Explosion? 31116 From what, and from what point is the acceleration of Space Lab One originating?"
31116	Gentlemen,he finished,"may I introduce myself?
31116	Have you got the planets lined up in your scopes yet? 31116 Horoscopes again?"
31116	How dangerous is such a puncture?
31116	How long was I out?
31116	How much of the machine do I have to take to power that milling- head?
31116	How much time do you need?
31116	How seriously would Hot Rod be damaged? 31116 How soon will Space Lab One reach the northernmost point of her present orbit and begin a swing to the south?"
31116	How''re you doing? 31116 I mean,"he floundered,"uh... how did you know?"
31116	If a simple question like that gets an answer like that, how long do you think it will take the captain to find out something''s wrong with the Cow?
31116	In which direction is the thrust on Hot Rod oriented?
31116	Is Hot Rod pulling us north?
31116	Is Hot Rod pulling us north?
31116	Is Hot Rod pulling us south?
31116	Is Hot Rod pulling us?
31116	Is Hot Rod pushing or in any other way giving motion to Space Lab One?
31116	Is Major Elbertson under the influence of any unusual drugs, doctor?
31116	Is Space Lab One under acceleration?
31116	Is it really legal,he asked,"using such a tremendously complicated chunk of equipment as the Sacred Cow for casting horrible scopes?
31116	Is the flare over?
31116	Is there any way to turn off Hot Rod without the Security key?
31116	Ishie, will you please tell me just how does this thing... this Confusor..._ get_ that thrust? 31116 Ishie,"he said,"I gather you''re safe?"
31116	Just what acceleration has that given us?
31116	Mike, it did? 31116 Mr. Blackhawk, do you realize that what you are doing constitutes mutiny in space and will be dealt with accordingly on Earth?
31116	Mr. Blackhawk,the captain turned to his engineer,"could such a thrust throw Hot Rod off her communications beam and cause last night''s disaster?"
31116	Now can we take the focusing lens off of this, and rig something to give me a focus at about 4.5 miles? 31116 Now, have you?"
31116	Now,she finished,"do I get my girlish curiosity satisfied?
31116	The displacement in orbit wo n''t be very much, at least on the first few go- arounds, will it? 31116 Then where in hell is that acceleration coming from?"
31116	There is only the one?
31116	Think there''s anything to it? 31116 Wha- at?
31116	What I want to know... do n''t stop eating until you''ve decided whether you''re going to let me in on your game or not... is what really does exist? 31116 What are our limits?"
31116	What assistance will you need?
31116	What does the gadget do?
31116	What is our current position in relation to the equatorial orbit that we should be following?
31116	What is our velocity at right angles to original course?
31116	What is our velocity?
31116	Where is Major Elbertson?
31116	Where is Nails?
31116	Where is he?
31116	Where would he keep it, if not on his person?
31116	Which of you are Security officers?
31116	Who are you?
31116	Who''s senior in Security?
31116	Who''s senior officer here?
31116	Why would n''t we just go off in a spiral on our present thrust?
31116	Why, Mike? 31116 Why,"said Ishie,"did you give such an order in the first place?
31116	Why?
31116	Would anoxemia cause a change in character, doctor?
31116	Yes sir?
31116	You do n''t happen to have any education as a psychologist, do you Ishie? 31116 You do n''t think anybody would really appreciate our doing that, do you Mike?
31116	You heard of the disaster last night?
31116	You mean you really talk to it?
31116	_ Varyjat!_ Mike, have n''t you learned yet how to talk over an intercom? 31116 _"What''s that song?"
31116	A leak in the Space Lab itself?
31116	A space drive?
31116	About to come out of it?"
31116	After all, why should an astronomer be interested in Earth?
31116	And what handle did we get hold of to convert that influence of self to our own advantage in moving this ship?"
31116	And where was Elbertson, anyhow?
31116	Any ideas?"
31116	Are all personnel secured?"
31116	Are you sure?"
31116	Blackhawk?"
31116	But how does it remember, as soon as that field ceases to exist, where it was going before it was last influenced?
31116	But the direction?
31116	But then, he asked himself, did he really care?
31116	But this third effect?
31116	But what is the mechanism of influence whereby it influences itself to continue in a straight line?
31116	But what''s this gadget?"
31116	Can you prevent that?"
31116	Do n''t you realize that you ca n''t stand up against the new people''s government of Earth?"
31116	Do n''t you realize?
31116	Do you think you can work out a method for counteraction?"
31116	Do you understand?
31116	Do you understand?"
31116	Dr. Johnston and Chauvens... sor?
31116	For of course,"he added,"we must have authority to install our magnetic coils, and what better authority is there than the Cow?
31116	How about it?"
31116	How did you fix it so it could burn the guard at that distance?"
31116	How do you get that inside a solenoid without an iron core?"
31116	How does that particle once started gain the knowledge to continue without some direct control over its spatial framework?
31116	How many men do you need to help you... and I do mean_ you_... with the job?"
31116	How much thrust do we want, Mike?"
31116	How much time do you need?"
31116	How soon must it be repaired?"
31116	I suppose you know the duty cycle on those coils is only about 0.01?"
31116	I thought they were n''t predictable?"
31116	If they are saboteurs, is there any way that they can activate Hot Rod?"
31116	Is there any way to prevent that?"
31116	Just exactly what is involved here?"
31116	Koblensky?"
31116	Meantime, why do n''t you let Paul and Tombu go eat while you eat?"
31116	Mike do you know what this means?"
31116	Millie, is there any thing in your department that will make sure he wo n''t talk for while?"
31116	North?
31116	Not enough to land on Earth; but with things down there the way they were now, who wanted to?
31116	Now the question before the board becomes, just what are we going to do with it?
31116	Now, water or air?
31116	Or am I just learning rumors about my profession from lay sources?"
31116	Or perhaps a brain surgeon?"
31116	Or would it need focusing at all?
31116	Outside of the people themselves, that is, that are n''t directly concerned with man''s_ welfare_?
31116	Over HIS people?
31116	Party?
31116	Perhaps this was another form of disguise like the magneto- ionic...."Are you sure?"
31116	Shooting at that distance?"
31116	Sufficient for the off- orbit shown?
31116	The DC electric field?
31116	The captain was startled by the mad- looking, unshaven scarecrow of an officer that approached him, demanding in a near- scream,"What happened?
31116	The little physicist sat back, grinned knowingly, and continued:"Where''s your secret panel, Mike?
31116	Then"Paul, is there a theodolite or anything like that left lying around in here?"
31116	There was a cough at the entrance to the machine shop, and Dr. Millie Williams''soft voice said"May I come in?"
31116	Think we''re settled in to bedrock like New York City?
31116	Tombu took the opportunity to inquire,"Have you got that RF field- phase generator under control yet?"
31116	Trying to put that crumb Security officer into command,_ real_ command, of a scientist?
31116	Turn it over to the captain?"
31116	Understood?"
31116	WHAT was going on?
31116	WHAT?"
31116	Want to tell our preoccupied slipstick and test- tube boys in the rim before we roll her, or just wait and see what happens?
31116	Wha- at specific da- ata did you- u wi- ish?
31116	What are you getting at Mike?
31116	What could be the answer?
31116	What did you DO to Project Hot Rod?
31116	What did you do?
31116	What did you think I was doing?"
31116	What do you think this is, a rock- bound coast?
31116	What happened?"
31116	What have you done?
31116	What makes you so sure that means there''s a solar flare coming?
31116	What party?
31116	What was your procedure?"
31116	What''s mine today, Bessie?
31116	What''s this about a Security key?"
31116	What''s this-- space drive?"
31116	When Ishie asked the computer:"How could this effect be canceled?"
31116	Where are they?
31116	Who else but Captain Naylor Andersen could possibly have delivered this sneaking, underhanded attack against himself and his comrades?
31116	Who else, but the man who had carried the political battle, against all odds, that Hot Rod be created?
31116	Why are you goons moving that stuff ahead of schedule and without notifying balance control?
31116	Why could n''t they leave people alone long enough to find out what was really going on?
31116	Why did n''t you just freeze her like I thought you were going to do?"
31116	Why should I bother to tell him any different?"
31116	Would such an effect be a result of a flare?"
31116	Would you consider Major Elbertson''s condition serious enough to warrant confining him to bed by force?"
31116	You dared to keep me off duty that long?
31116	You gon na laser Hot Rod?"
31116	You know what they do to wild- haired individualists down there, do n''t you?"
31116	he asked, and when Mike''s voice answered,"Yes, sir,"he said,"Will you both report to the bridge at once, please?"
31116	these days?"
50290	A_ third_ chance? 50290 About what?"
50290	And when you hit the Martian atmosphere and start firing against the direction of motion, how much good do you think limited knowledge will do you? 50290 Are n''t you forgetting something?
50290	But did you have to run away quite so fast? 50290 But how?
50290	But they''ve got plenty of ammunition, have n''t they? 50290 But what will happen if the Commander refuses to let even the Marines land?
50290	But why should I talk to you? 50290 But why?
50290	But why?
50290	But you''ll make your intentions unmistakably clear before you open fire, sir?
50290	Ca n''t I go back with you? 50290 Can you hear me?"
50290	Did you know that a man has just been murdered?
50290	Did you see it?
50290	Did you think I''d give you a chance to catch me with my guard down, Corriston? 50290 Do n''t you see?
50290	Do the men who hired you know how you operate, Henley?
50290	Do we take anything with us?
50290	Do you know?
50290	Do you think the colonists had anything to do with Clakey''s murder and Miss Ramsey''s disappearance? 50290 Do you think you can pilot this ship to Mars, tired as you are?"
50290	Do you understand, Freddy? 50290 He made up for it then?"
50290	How could I have known? 50290 How did you know?"
50290	How did you know?
50290	How did you manage to stay concealed on the Station when Ramsey''s officers were in full command? 50290 How does that set with you, Stone?
50290	How many of them could step into Drever''s shoes and grow to his stature as the first really great medical specialist on Mars? 50290 How should I know?
50290	If a man is attacked by just one lamprene, and it''s pulled off quickly, how much chance has he?
50290	In the United States?
50290	Including the one who sold out and helped you?
50290	Just what could it mean?
50290	Just where is that guard sitting?
50290	May I talk to you privately, sir? 50290 Meaning me?"
50290	Ramsey paid for the research that went into them, did n''t he? 50290 Something with it?"
50290	Space- shock?
50290	Stone?
50290	Suppose they refuse to let them send messages?
50290	Thanks for what?
50290	Then it''s all right if I go back with you?
50290	We talked about that once before, remember?
50290	Well, what do you want to talk to me about?
50290	Well, young lady?
50290	Well?
50290	What do you mean by coming in here unannounced, Lieutenant?
50290	What happened to him?
50290	What is it?
50290	What will you stand to gain by shooting me and letting him die? 50290 What would you do if the observation glass started showing small pits in the hull from a very large shower of micro- meteorites?
50290	Where did you get that wound? 50290 Where is she, Stone?
50290	Where''s Helen Ramsey?
50290	Why did you do it, Freddy?
50290	Why not about the masks?
50290	Why not? 50290 Why not?"
50290	You do n''t like it, eh? 50290 You know about the mask?"
50290	You mean I''ve actually been sitting here talking to Stephen Ramsey''s daughter?
50290	You mean they''re sending you out to take over the Station?
50290	You saw it crash?
50290	You what?
50290	You''re Peter Stone, are n''t you?
50290	You-- you put out the fire, Commander?
50290	After consultation?
50290	And because he wanted free and instant access to her, with Clakey out of the way?
50290	And suppose he decided to back up his boasting with a quick knife thrust or a gun blast at almost point- blank range?
50290	And then that single question began to gnaw at Corriston like some rat feeding on his flesh: Where was the real Clement now?
50290	And was Ramsey''s daughter a vital link in the chain?
50290	And was he friend or foe?
50290	And what happens when your instruments start showing light spectra peculiarities that ca n''t be measured in angstroms?
50290	And what if they became so desperate they felt they had to fight fire with fire?"
50290	And what were you doing in my cabin?"
50290	And why?
50290	Any more questions, Corriston?"
50290	Anything else you''d like to know?"
50290	Anything more you''d like to know?"
50290	Anything more?"
50290	Are you sure of your facts, Lieutenant?"
50290	Because the killer had seen the girl go into the lounge and thought she was still there?
50290	But could Clement be that much of a scoundrel?
50290	But how could he be completely sure?
50290	But how much ransom do you think he''ll get from Ramsey?
50290	But if he did summon the guard, what then?
50290	But if not from the compartment, where?
50290	But what good would it do me to knock you down to prove it?"
50290	But what if a killer just happened to be crouching in one of the corridors, waiting for the stretcher to pass?
50290	But what if he did have personality after all?
50290	But what were his chances of finding a ladder in the Selector compartment?
50290	Ca n''t you understand that?
50290	Can the auto- controls stop those pits from spreading?
50290	Corriston said:"How do you know he''s fatally wounded?
50290	Corriston said:"You''re wearing a mask, are n''t you, commander?"
50290	Could a warped mind hope to escape from such a dilemma?
50290	Could he be doubled up with cramps-- the old prisoners''dodge?
50290	Did it ascend to the very top, to Commander Clement himself?
50290	Did it open on a corridor leading back to the general passenger cabin?
50290	Did she know that he was wearing a mask?
50290	Did the colonists hire a killer and book passage for him on the ship?
50290	Did the miners know that, Henley?
50290	Do n''t you understand?
50290	Do you know what you''re saying?"
50290	Do you realize what that could mean?"
50290	Do you think I''d string along with him if I believed that for a moment?
50290	Do you understand?
50290	Does he hope to rescue the Ramsey girl all by himself?"
50290	Does that kind of split satisfy you, Stone?
50290	Free?
50290	Had Clement implanted the suggestion in his mind deliberately, with infinite cruelty and cunning?
50290	Had Helen Ramsey been attacked by lamprenes too?
50290	Had Ramsey been incapable of dealing with Henley directly, and had taken this means of complying with the ransom demands?
50290	Had he convinced anyone?
50290	Had he intended it as a challenge?
50290	Had he left the ship only a few minutes, or hours before?
50290	Had he misjudged them after all?
50290	Had she been felled with a blow, or had she simply fainted?
50290	Had the link been non- existent from the first?
50290	Had the man fled in sudden fear, knowing that Corriston would be consumed with a killing rage that would make him a more than dangerous adversary?
50290	Have you any idea?"
50290	Have you seen him?"
50290	Have you seen the fortress Ramsey built to protect himself?"
50290	He called out:"Miss Ramsey?"
50290	He''d survived all that, so how could one lone Security Guard stop him now?
50290	How bad do you think it will be?"
50290	How could he be when he was able to think so logically and consistently?
50290	How excited can you get?
50290	How long a head start did Saddler have?
50290	How long do you think they''ll hold them in the Big Cage?"
50290	How many men did Ramsey succeed in substituting for the rightful officers?
50290	How many officers and enlisted men on the Station were wearing masks?
50290	How many, beside the commander?"
50290	How many?
50290	How much do you stand to get out of this?
50290	How seriously could a man be stabbed without feeling any pain at all?
50290	How should I know what happened?
50290	How_ did_ you gain entrance to an impregnable fortress?
50290	I''m no good when it comes to taking a risk like that, but does that mean he''s better than I am?
50290	I''m using him, do n''t you see?
50290	If after that she had disappeared again, was it not more of a black mark against him than if he had failed to touch her at all?
50290	If we change our orbit fast and start blasting at them with our rear adjusting rockets they''ll have to keep their distance?"
50290	In blind rage because the Station had ignored a warning that had been repeated twice?
50290	Is n''t that obvious?
50290	Is she all right?"
50290	Is that it?"
50290	Is the Station planning to trust ships''clearance to hallucinated personnel?
50290	Is this a hospital?
50290	It never even began to decelerate._""_ How do you know?_""_ I asked one of the officers-- that gray- haired man over there.
50290	Just how reckless had the decision been?
50290	Just what did"very high up"mean?
50290	Just what do you think is happening on Mars?"
50290	Nevertheless, how could anyone have known that in another twenty years interplanetary space flight would become a war- averting reality?
50290	On just an impulse?
50290	Or could it?
50290	Or did they just give you their backing in a general way?
50290	Or had he misjudged his own capacity to be persuasive, to talk with conviction when his very life hung in the balance?
50290	Or was he dead?
50290	Or was she regretting he was n''t the hard- living, cynical type who had been everywhere and done everything?
50290	Or_ any_ irritation, for that matter?
50290	Photoelectric eyes?
50290	See that big gray building, the one on the left with the shuttered windows?
50290	Should n''t we get started?"
50290	So if I clear a half million, what have I to complain about?"
50290	Tell me something, Lieutenant, did you just tangle with the man who did it?"
50290	The grate--""The grate?
50290	The killer jabbed the gun more firmly against Corriston''s spine and asked in a cold, flat voice:"Do you know who I am, Corriston?
50290	The killer?
50290	The only question remaining to be answered was how high did that activity ascend?
50290	The situation on Mars?
50290	Then Henley drew in his breath sharply and said:"Are you threatening me, Corriston?"
50290	There was dread in his eyes when he asked:"And the real Commander Clement?
50290	Was Clement involved with Ramsey in some way?
50290	Was Clement really hoping that he_ would_ commit suicide?
50290	Was he accessible?
50290	Was he alive?
50290	Was he hallucinating?
50290	Was he, in fact, a scoundrel at all?
50290	Was it just imagination, or had the big man''s immoderate expansiveness grated on her and brought a look of displeasure to her young face?
50290	Was it true then, could it possibly be true?
50290	Was n''t it pretty well established that ghosts were likely to follow the path of least resistance and fulfill obligations entered into in the flesh?
50290	Was n''t it?"
50290	Was that it?"
50290	Was the killer as completely in the dark as he was as to the whereabouts of Ramsey''s daughter?
50290	Was there any other way?
50290	Was there any possible way of making sure?
50290	Was there some as yet undemonstratable link between Ramsey''s uranium holdings and the Station itself?
50290	Was_ every_ officer on the Station wearing one?
50290	Well?
50290	What are you getting out of this?
50290	What are you talking about?
50290	What chance would one armed man have against seventy- five or a hundred guards?
50290	What could you possibly offer?
50290	What do you want?"
50290	What else_ could_ it mean?
50290	What had been the man''s purpose in killing Clakey?
50290	What happened to him?
50290	What have you done with her?
50290	What he were to retrace it in reality... until he came to the grate?
50290	What if Clement had not deliberately tried to plant a suicide suggestion in his mind at all?
50290	What is it you''d like to know?"
50290	What is your split, your percentage?
50290	What more could a happily married man ask, if the Station was so much a part of him that it was never wholly absent from his thoughts?
50290	What purpose did the inner door serve?
50290	What will happen then?"
50290	What would he stand to gain if Corriston killed himself?
50290	What would he stand to gain if Corriston took himself out of the world?
50290	What''s beyond the other door?
50290	What''s that?
50290	Where can I find some rope?"
50290	Where does it lead to?"
50290	Where is he now?"
50290	Where''s Freddy?
50290	Where, he asked himself, do women ordinarily go when they vanish into thin air?
50290	Where?
50290	Who attacked you?
50290	Who was this man?
50290	Why could n''t he simply ask the guard to step into the cell and request permission to talk to him?
50290	Why had Clakey been murdered in the general passenger cabin, in plain view of the other passengers?
50290	Why should I lie to you?"
50290	Why should the Commander of the Station refuse to permit a Governmental Investigating Committee to land?"
50290	Why then had he been unable to take advantage of his crime in any way?
50290	Why then had he employed a double to bargain with Henley and keep him occupied for so long a time?
