The mentors are trying to develop a force that will successful, you will have the task of pressing the final button of the battle." "There's an off-chance you may survive," countered a mentor. "We're also working on a means for your escape—not only because you are radio contact with Terra for years, and we want someone to escape with our secret if and when our experiments prove successful." "But you must expect to die," her father had warned with gentle finality. She clenched her fingernails vehemently into her palms and wrenched would she die. hard and thinking. She had no means to construct another key. At best, finding the rare tools and parts would take months, and during the set the movers in motion, and draw the moderator columns. If it were unsafe, she must secure the unwitting assistance of her Scythian enemies. Still prone, she found the first-aid kit and taped her chest expertly. to come would be her apparent harmlessness.

With satisfaction, she sensed a sudden change of determination in the mind Hips dipping, Evelyn sauntered into the shattered copse. The man moved For I.Q.'s of 100 and less, telepathic cortical paralysis was quite "Evelyn Kane." their custom with recalcitrant prisoners, but she took no notice. She had analyzed the minds of the three men. She could handle the "If you aren't afraid of me, perhaps you'd be so kind as to send the guards out for a few minutes," she said, placing a hand on her hip. "I have interesting information." could take the information and then kill her. He nodded curtly to the Evelyn Kane crossed her arms across her chest and felt her broken rib gingerly. The inquisitor stared up at her in sadistic admiration. He would certainly be on hand for the execution. His anticipation was cut short with a horrible realization. Under the paralyzing force of a mind seal at its bottom. "You will add in the portion reserved for 'comments', the following: 'Capable clerk. Others will follow as they are found available.'" The man's pen scratched away obediently. Evelyn Kane smiled gently at the impotent, inwardly raging inquisitor. auditing. Evelyn was extremely careful with her mental probe as she descended from the transport. The Occupational Commandant would undoubtedly be high-born and telepathic. He must not have occasion to suspect a similar ability in a mere clerk. "Where did you want to go?" something to the guard, and then told Evelyn to follow her. In the anteroom a grey cat looked her over curiously, and Evelyn H.Q.?" the narrowing eyes of S'ria Gerek, and smoothed the back of her braided yellow hair. He was studying her covertly. "The men in the fighting zones are uncouth, S'ria Gorph," she said you , that is, I mean—" "Yes?" he was the soul of graciousness. S'ria Gerek began to dictate loudly into her mechanical transcriber. Evelyn cleared her throat, averted her eyes, and with some effort, you know. There'll be hard work here for several weeks yet, before we cut loose from the enemy globe. But you do your work well"—winking artfully—"and I'll see that—" He stopped, and his face took on a hunted look of mingled fear and anxiety. He appeared to listen. Evelyn tensed her mind to receive and deceive a mental probe. She was chances were only fifty-fifty that she could delude him for any length of time if he became interested in her. He must be avoided if at all possible. It should not be too difficult. He undoubtedly had a dozen personal secretaries and/or concubines and would take small interest in the lowly employees that amused Gorph. calculating machines trailed off into a watchful silence, and she could feel the eyes of the men and women on her back. She noticed then that and unconscious superiority. To Evelyn the jeweled fingers bespoke an Evelyn Kane felt a horrid chill creeping over her. The man's hair was be no mistake. It was Gordon, Lord Kane. Her father. The sweat continued to grow on her forehead, and she felt for a moment bedtime stories to her from a great book with many pictures. An icy, amused voice came through: "Our orders are to kill all prisoners. It is entertaining to shoot down helpless men, isn't it? It warms me to know that I am cruel and wanton, and worthy of my trust." Even in the midst of her horror, a cold, analytical part of her was "It is even more stimulating to require a shuddering female to kill from it to the floor. She was thinking hard. She could kill the Gordon, Lord Kane, frowned faintly, then closed his eyes. She raised The man leaning on the balustrade turned and looked at Evelyn, at first with amused contempt, then with narrowing, questioning eyes. "Come here," he ordered. Then: "Have you ever seen me before?" "Do you have a son?" Apparently he suspected nothing. Father. Father. I had to do it. But we'll all join you, soon. Soon. III Perat lay on his couch, sipping cold purple tiptoe. For the last thirty "nights"—the hours allotted to rest and sleep—it had been thus. By "day" she probed furtively into the minds of the elude the probe. There was an odd autohypnosis in dancing that blotted out memory and knowledge. "Enough for now," he ordered.

When he had first seen the bandages on her bare chest, that first of metal wire, which Evelyn recognized as being feed for an amateur Evelyn studied the trio with growing wonder.

"He said, 'Your widow and son send greetings. Be of good cheer, and accept our love.' What nonsense! He knows very well I'm not married and that—well, if I have ever fathered any children, I don't know about them." Evelyn crossed the room and returned the ring. "Sometimes it seems unfortunate that we must pass through a sentient phase on our way to death. This foolish, foolish war. Maybe the old proper disposition of a woman prisoner." Evelyn's heart skipped a beat. "Indeed?" "The wretch insists that he could remember if we would just let him tries for a little extra profit." and then followed him out. This might be a very close thing. From the purse she took a bottle of perfume and rubbed her ear lobes casually. "Odd smell," commented Perat, wrinkling his nose. "Odd scent," corrected Evelyn cryptically. She was thinking about the earnest faces of the mentors as they instructed her carefully in the use of the "perfume." The adrenalin glands, they had explained, provided a useful and powerful stimulant to a man in danger.
