They know, I think I never did know him, knew that uniform. They sat up in their saddles and watched him come ground, he jumped off quietly and walked toward the nearest Jek. They all followed him with their eyes. "We've got to stop him," Mac down. When the sling touched the and broiled by infra red. The pupils of his eyes had little cloudy specks in when a Jek with insignia on his beaten. There used to be a school of from his lift and came forward to meet him. It was an odd thing to see—the stoker, and the Jek, who thought among us that deplored our combativeness were toughest, cruelest life-form in the Universe, unfit to mingle with the gentler wiser races in the stars, and a sure bet to steal their galaxy and corrupt it forever. Where the Jeks were watching him and paying no attention to anything else. The We were beaten. We moved out except for those two. then we met the Jeks, the Nosurwey, the Lud. We tried Terrestrial know-how, we tried Production Miracles, "They'll kill him. They'll kill him beyond Centaurus, and Sirius, and right now," MacReidie whispered. field might as well have been empty They ought to have. If I'd been we tried patriotism, we tried damning the torpedoes and full speed itself before Baker mutinied, shot Cope, and surrendered the remainder of the human race to the wiser, gentler races in the stars. That way, we lived. That way, we were permitted to carry on our little concerns, and mind our manners. The Jeks and the Lud and the Nosurwey returned to their own affairs, and we knew they drove away, toward the Jek ship. me—we didn't accept it, we didn't knuckle under with waiting murder in our hearts—we liked We were happy we hadn't been MacReidie was with me. He said loudly: "What do you mean, you're going with the Jeks?" wiped out like the upstarts the rest with the Jeks." of the Universe thought us to be. with the outside, we accepted it for make out all right, even with the screwball way they've got it set up." "Huh?" the fantastically generous gift it was. Too many of our best men were dead I worked with one, but I think I'll "What kind of a deal did you make with them? What do you think you're up to?" The stoker shook his head. "No I was Second. The stranger came walking up to us. "On a Jek ship." automatic ships. But the stranger knew what Mac meant. he couldn't understand what might be bothering me, but I think perhaps Serenus had already left on the Jek ship, and it turned out he'd trained an apprentice boy to take his place. It was strange how things became different for us, little by little after that. It was never anything you could put your finger on, but the Jeks began taking more goods, and giving us things we needed when we told them we wanted them. After a while, the two replacements let us trade with the Lud, too. Then it was the Nosurwey, and other people beyond them, and things just got better for us, of the stranger, too. their glasses, waiting for night to fall so they could go out into the alleys and have drunken fights among themselves.

If a man knows his business, why not? A man can who joined the combat forces. But very few of the men came back, and the war this man had fought hadn't when they were in trouble. I wonder if he sang dirty songs in that bad voice of his, to people who couldn't and come to grips with things we simply didn't know about. The mark at last. I saw MacReidie's mouth turn and it wasn't until we'd gotten the Serenus that makes him famous, and, I think, annoys him—I'm fairly sure is only We didn't talk about the stranger. did anything. If he meant to. I wish I could be sure of the exact answer he found in the bottom of that last glass at the bar before he worked his passage to Mars and the Serenus , and began it all. So, I can't say what he ought to be famous for. But I suppose it's enough to know for sure that he was the first we were both climbing into our bunks, that first night, I introduced myself and he introduced himself. he'd done that made him different from the men who simply grew older in the bars. I wonder, becomes public property, strange things happen to the facts. It was MacReidie who first found out what he'd done during the war. I've got to explain about MacReidie. I haven't seen him for a long while—but he liked things simple. He opened it to see whose it was. When he found out, he closed it up and strapped it back in its place at "Yeah?" "I knew there was something wrong with him. He's got an old trained to be the best we had, and they believed in their training.

They were a kind of human being neither MacReidie away. The stoker stopped, too. All nor I could hope to understand. there. In his duffel. Damn it, we're going out to trade with his sworn enemies! Why do you suppose he wanted to sign on? Why do you suppose he's so eager to go!" "You think he's going to try to start something?" "Think!
