ACCIDENTAL DEATH and is operated by a hand-picked crew of highly trained men in perfect condition, how often is it wrecked by a series of silly errors happening one after another in defiance of probability? The most dangerous of weapons is the one you don't know is loaded. our launch. What could a whole planetful of them do? "On the other hand, a talent that manipulates chance events is bound to be chancy. No matter how highly developed it can't be surefire. The proof is that I've survived to tell the thing in the hollow was stirring in stiff jerks like a snake with its back broken or a clockwork toy running BY PETER BAILY more than a yard away, weary "I've wiggled my toes with entire up at all, though I don't see how it could happen. Right now I don't feel like struggling up and finding out. I'm fine where I am. I'll just lie here for a while and relax, and get some of the story on tape. This suit's got a built-in recorder, I might as well use it. That way even if I'm not as well as I feel, I'll leave a message. and wonder what went wrong. "I suppose I'm in a state of shock. Who wouldn't be shocked after luck like that? . Sure I'm a good astronomer but so are lots of other guys. If I were ten years older, it would have been an honor, being picked for the first long jump in the first starship ever. At my how we happened to find Chang, against finding Chang on a six-sun technical—haven't got space travel for instance. They're good astronomers, though. We were able to show If you doubt it, chew these facts over. "One, they learned our language in four weeks. When I say they, I mean a ten-man team of them. . "Three, they've a great sense of humor. Ran rather to silly practical jokes, but still. Can't say I care for that hot-foot and belly-laugh stuff myself, but tastes differ. "Four, the ten-man language team also learned chess and table tennis. "But why go on? People who talk English, drink beer, like jokes and beat me at chess or table-tennis are people for my money, even if they "It was funny the way they won that ten per cent extra gravity put us off our strokes. As for chess, Svendlov in the time? It was more that we all seemed to make silly mistakes when we played them and that's fatal in chess. Of course it's a screwy situation, playing chess with something that grows its own fur coat, has yellow eyes an inch and a half long you have kept your mind on the game? "And don't think I fell victim to their feline charm. The children were the adults on their big grinning heads. Personally I didn't like the one I knew best. He was called—well, we called him Charley, and he was the or whatever you like to call him, who came back with us. Why I disliked him was because he was always trying to get the edge on you. All the time he had to be top. Great sense of humor, of course. I nearly broke my neck on that butter-slide he fixed up in the metal alleyway to the engine room. Charley laughed Charley ... Minnow unhurt, was Charley. He was laughing ... "My God, it's dark out here. Wonder how high I am. Must be all of fifty miles, and doing eight hundred miles an hour at least. I'll be doing Same as a fifty thousand mile fall, I suppose same as escape twenty-four thousand miles an hour. I'll make a think of it, I must be deep in air now. Let's take a look. or eraser. What must have happened is that the suit ran out of and that brought me round. "Come to think of it, why not crack the suit and breath fresh air instead of bottled? "No. I'd have to get up to do that. I think I'll just lie here a little bit longer and get properly rested up before I try anything big like standing up. solar system. The crew had to find out exactly what went wrong. The physicists had to make mystic passes in front of meters and mutter about residual folds in stress-free space. The crew's job was also easy: they found what went wrong in less than half an hour. "It still seems incredible. To program the ship for a star-jump, you translated into the somewhat abstruse co-ordinate system we used based on you this and I'm just attached personnel with no space-flight tradition. In practical terms, one highly trained crew member had punched a wrong pattern of holes on the tape. Another equally skilled had failed to notice this when reading back. A childish error, highly improbable twice repeated, thus squaring the improbability. Incredible, but that's what why we were out there so long. They were cross-checked about five times. I got sick so I climbed into a spacesuit and went outside and took some again after four months subjective time away, except for Charley, who was still chuckling and shaking his glaring at Charley and obviously wishing human dignity permitted him to tear Charley limb from limb. Then James pressed the button. "Everything twanged like a bowstring. We'd come out of the jump about was the As again you know, this is good for interplanetary flight because you can it has rather a low thrust. It would have taken more time than we had to deflect us enough to avoid a smash. We had five minutes to abandon ship. "James got us all into the Minnow Minnow splash. By now you'll have divers down, but I doubt they'll salvage much you can use. "I wonder why James went down with the ship, as the saying is? Not that it made any difference. It must have broken his heart to know that his lovely ship was getting the chopper. Or did he suspect another human error? "We didn't have time to think about that, or even to get the radio saw Charley coming out of the toilet—that's how he'd escaped—and I saw him beginning to laugh. Then I don't see how any of us could have "I'll have to get up and crack this suit and let some air in. But I can't. to go till I find a way to go down. I've been chewing snow to quench my thirst but I could eat a horse. I minutes just to hear a human voice again. I haven't much hope of reaching anyone with my five milliwatt suit transmitter but I'll keep trying. "Just before I start the climb there something from my military training, when I did some parachute about the Chingsi, and here it is: watch out for them. Those jokers are dangerous. I'm not telling how because I've got a scientific reputation to watch. You'll have to figure it out for yourselves. Here are the clues: (1) The Chingsi talk and laugh but an alien world a hundred light-years away, why shouldn't alien talents develop? A talent that's so uncertain and rudimentary here that most people don't believe it, might be highly developed out there. (2) The on till it looks fishy. We lost but one of us lost our lives. We couldn't even win a game of ping-pong. "So what is luck, good or bad? For him, luck refers to the future, and you've got bad luck when future chance events won't go your have been inconclusive, but everyone knows that some people are lucky and others aren't. All we've got are hints and glimmers, the fumbling touch of a rudimentary talent. There's the evil eye legend and the Jonah, bad luck bringers. Superstition? Maybe ask the insurance companies about accident prones. What's in a name? Call a man unlucky and you're superstitious. Call him accident prone and that's sound business sense. I've said enough.
