Extensive research did not uncover any evidence that and the five younger ones huddled around the box of heat-stones and went to the doorway, padding soft and tight with the anger in him. He shoved the curtain of little skins aside and crouched there with his thick shoulders fitted into the angle of the jamb, staring out, cold "I would like to kill the Captain and the First Officer and the Second families." child. She added sharply, "Besides, that's fool's talk, Jakk Randl's talk, and only gets the sucking-plant." "Who's to hear it?" Kirk raised his heavy overlids and let his pupils the dim grey light into themselves, forcing line and shape out of The same landscape he had stared at since he was able to crawl by himself away from the box of heat-stones. Flat grey plain running empty, and the wind and the earth took them back again. a thumb of them, full of Engineers who said how the furrows should be The baby cried. Ma Kirk shrilled at her son, and two of the younger ones fought over a bone with no meat on it, rolling and snapping on the dirt floor. Kirk shifted his head forward to shut out the sound of them Five, nearly six hands of them, with the Captain's metal-roofed place highest of all. Highest and nearest, right under the titanic shape lifting jagged he said. "I would like to kill them all." her "I bet I'll half kill you if you don't shut up!" The young ones stopped fighting, scuttling out of reach and watching with bright moist eyes, grinning. The baby had reached the hiccoughing stage. to the heat and said wearily: without that?" "Maybe there'd be less trouble for us." glowed in the feeble light. She said, "You men! He's no man, Ma. He's just a little boy who has to The young ones giggled, well out of reach. Lil's thin body was strung tight, quivering to move. "Besides," she demanded, "what have the Officers and the Engineers ever done to you that you should want to kill them—all but the Captain's yellow daughter?" up or I'll whale her, anyhow." Hope they killed meat." "Maybe," said Kirk heavily, "it all goes to the same place." else could it be but heat-stones and maybe dried meat?" let the Piruts in on us, or the shags, and let 'em finish us quick. Freezing and starving would take too long. There'd be too many of us if we found out, or got mad." Crash "There aren't enough heat-stones to go around any more. Why should they let their young ones cry with the cold?" There was silence in the room again. Kirk felt it, thick and choky. His heart kicked against his ribs. He was scared, suddenly. He'd never talked that much before. It was the baby, crying in the cold, that set him off. Suppose someone had heard him. Suppose he was reported for a source. Ma Kirk said stiffly, "Which way are they coming?" He glanced back just before he let the curtain drop. The pale glow of shapes of clay cooking pots, of low bed frames, of huddled bodies.

All Randl's strength they were built a little taller and lighter, less bowed and bunchy in the shoulders, quicker on their feet. only a whisper, but it had a hard edge. The baby's thin, terrible wail was still in his ears. "Is it true, Jakk? Do you know? Because if they are...." Randl laughed and shuddered with a secret, ugly triumph.

The captain's yellow daughter, taking life into the Ship. piling up their dead on the swept grey stone. any time, but when the Piruts were raiding.... No time to think about that. Wite, the second son of the First Officer, three of them would have sense enough to keep safe. Maybe they were in He wondered how so many of them had been able to get so close to the Kirk's nose wrinkled at the smell of blood. He avoided the biggest much as you and I do." "Think they could know what's in it?" Randl's narrow shoulders twitched. "Near as we know, their legend is break, and then we can start thinking about...." head and said grimly: "Yeah. About what going to do." Hot black eyes turned to his. Burnt-out fires in a face with the young beard hardly full on its sharp jaw. I want to go on living anyway?" or pain. He sat down, crouched on the body of a man who lived only two "It's up to you, Wes. You're the only one that really knows about the more gently, "Oh. Jakk got it, did he?" "Too bad." The man shook his head, and then shrugged. "Maybe it's below, rolling the dead Piruts and the shags down into the deep gullies cannibal. That ladder made Kirk think of Pa. It was the only way for a man to get some of the queer heaviness out of his head, touched his forelock and said: with the hair going grey on his body and exhausted eyes sunk deep under his horny overlids. He said quietly: "I'm sorry to have to tell you this...." Kirk knew. The knowledge leaped through him. It was strange, to feel a "Your father, and his two friends."
