Things were tense in the System since Probe Fleet skeeterboats had discovered a race of group-minded, non-human intelligences on the planets of 40 Eridani C. They lived in frozen from the ship herself So, reflected Strike, the transfer of the Cleopatra to Tethys for work under the Bureau of Research and Development meant innovations and tests. And Commander Strykalski was concerned.

"Right." Cob took a last loving look around the comfortable officer's club and heaved a heavy sigh. "Tethys, here comes Lover-Girl. It's going to be a long, long cruise, Captain." The flight out was uneventful. Uneventful, that is for the T.R.S. Cleopatra . Only one tube-liner burned through, and only six hours wasted in nauseous free-fall. million miles of Jupiter and settled comfortably down on the airless field next to the glass-steel dome of the Experimental Substation on Tethys. But her satisfied repose was interrupted almost before it was begun. Swarms of techmen seemed to burst from the dome and take her over. Welders and physicists, naval architects and shipfitters, all Cleopatra's Cleopatra chosen?" added Celia curiously. "Well, I'll make it short," Ivy said. "We're going to make a hyper-ship "Hyper-ship?" Cob was perplexed. Ivy Hendricks nodded. "We've stumbled on a laboratory effect that warps space. We plan to reproduce it in portable form on the Cleopatra ... king size. She'll be able to take us through the hyper-spatial barrier." "Golly!" Celia Graham was wide-eyed. "I always thought of hyperspace as through from the Proxima transsender ... they're under attack!" Strykalski was on his feet. "Attack!" "The nonhumans from Eridanus have launched a major invasion of the Cleopatra's a warship and there's a war on now. If you can have your gear jerry-rigged in three hours, you can come along "All right, Strike. I'll be ready," Ivy Hendricks said coolly. Exactly three hours and five minutes later, the newly created hyper-ship that was still Old Aphrodisiac lifted from the ramp outside the Substation dome. She rose slowly at first, the radioactive flame from her tubes splashing with sun-bright coruscations over the loading the swollen orb of Saturn that filled a quarter of Tethys' sky, and then she was gone into the galactic night. Aboard, all hands stood at GQ. On the flying bridge Strykalski and station from Bayne in the dorsal astrogation blister. An hour after blasting free of Tethys was pointed at the snaking river of stars below Orion that formed the constellation of Eridanus. When Cob asked why, Strike replied that knowing Gorman, they could expect orders from Luna Base ordering them either to attack or reconnoiter the 40 Eridani C system of five planets. Strykalski added rather dryly that it was likely to be the former, since Space Admiral Gorman had no great affection for either the Cleopatra or her crew. Ivy Hendricks joined them after stowing her gear, and when Whitley "Bridge." "Communications here. Message from Luna Base, Captain." "Here it is," Strykalski told Cob. "Right on time." "Just give me the dope," ordered Strike. "The Admiral orders us to quote make a diversionary attack on the planet of 40 Eridani C II unquote," said the squawk-box flatly. "Acknowledge," ordered Strykalski. "Wilco. Communications out." Cleopatra rode the curvature of space toward Eridanus. At eight and a half light years from Sol, the second-order was cut so that Bayne could get a star sight.

Like a maddened bull terrier, the old monitor charged at the Eridan her in scanners that were activated by infrared light. The chlorine atmosphere grew tense as the Tellurian warship drove full at the the thing that was the group-mind of the Eridans guided the thousand leathery tentacles that controlled the hundred and fifty black spaceships.

They fell silent, seeking comfort in each other's presence. The second-order drive repaired, Old Aphrodisiac moved out through the alien space toward the spot where 40 Eridani C existed on the other side of the barrier. The ship's tactical astrophysicist brought in some disturbing reports Cleopatra and her crew were no part of this alien cosmos, no prime-space instruments could detect the errant
