"Oh, come now. When the farn beast hears you scream—you Extrone raised his eyebrows. This time, the coughing roar was more distant, but distinct. "You'll be safe," Extrone said, studying his face with amusement. "I'll Extrone smiled, almost pointed teeth showing through the beard. "I'm glad we won't have to cross the ridge." shoot the animal before it reaches you." Ri gulped for air. "But ... if there should be more than one?" Extrone shrugged. "It is!" Ri said. "It's a farn beast, all right!" Extrone said, "Which one is he?" "The one with his back to me?" "Yes, sir. That's him. That's him, sir." Extrone aimed carefully and fired, full charge, then lowered the rifle Ri cleared his throat nervously. "Maybe you're right." "It's the Hunting Club he don't like." "I wish to God I'd never heard of a farn beast," Ri said. "At least, "You will scream," Extrone instructed. With his rifle, he pointed across the water hole. "The farn beast will come from this direction, I imagine." Ri was almost slobbering in fear. "Let me hear you scream," Extrone said. "We don't want to get too near," Ri said after toiling through the forest for many minutes. "Without guns, we don't want to get near enough for the farn beast to charge us." Ri screamed.

Extrone's eyes narrowed, and he began to pet the gun stock with quick, Extrone we'd hunted this area." "I didn't think a Club pilot would do that." "After Extrone said he'd hunt farn beasts, even if it meant going to the alien system? Listen, you don't know.... Wait a minute." There was perspiration on Ri's upper lip. "Hey!" Extrone shouted. "You, down there. There are two coming. Now let's hear you really scream!" Ri, below, whimpered childishly and began to retreat toward the tether tree, his eyes wide. "There's a lot of satisfaction in fooling them, too," Extrone said. "Making them come to your bait, where you can get at them." He opened his right hand. "Choose your ground, set your trap. Bait it." "Killing?" "Hunting," Extrone repeated harshly. The farn beast coughed. Another answered. They were very near, and there was a noise of crackling underbrush. "He's good bait," Extrone said. "He's fat enough and he knows how to scream good." Ri had stopped screaming Extrone sat on an upholstered stool before his tent and spat The forest sprang apart. Extrone bent forward, the gun still across his "What in hell do you want?" Extrone asked. "Wait," Extrone said. "Let's see what they do." He had not moved the rifle. He was tense, bent forward, his eyes slitted, his breath Extrone's face looked much too innocent. "How did it get there, The lead farn beast sighted Ri. It lowered its head. "Look!" Extrone cried excitedly. "Here it comes!" Ri began to scream again. beginning to sound like an asthmatic pump. The farn beast plunged into the water, which was shallow, and, throwing a sheet of it to either side, headed across toward Ri. "Watch! Watch!" Extrone cried gleefully. Extrone stared at them for a space. Then, indifferently, he turned Extrone said, "To begin with, they probably don't even know I'm here. And they probably couldn't hit this area if they did know. And you can't afford to let them get a shot at me, anyway." Extrone plucked at his right ear lobe, half closing his eyes. "You'll lose a fleet before you'll dare let anything happen to me, gentlemen. I'm quite safe here, I think." Extrone nodded. After a moment he said, "You killed one, I believe, on Ri shifted. "Yes, sir." Extrone held back the flap of the tent. "Won't you come in?" he asked without any politeness whatever. Ri obeyed the order. Extrone narrowed his eyes. "I see by your eyes that you are never killed a farn beast. In fact, I haven't a farn beast." Ri glanced nervously around the tent, his sharp eyes avoiding Extrone's "Of course you did," Extrone said, lazily tracing the crease of his sleeve with his forefinger. "I imagine these are the only farn beasts in our system." Ri waited uneasily, not answering. "Yes," Extrone said, "I imagine they are. It would have been a shame if you had killed the last one. Don't you think so?" Extrone's lip twisted in wry amusement. "If I had waited until it was safe for me to hunt on an alien planet, I would not have been able to Extrone bent forward. " "Get out!" Extrone said. "It's frightening," Ri said, "to be that close to him." Extrone cut off our trade with the aliens. Partly to keep them from And Extrone stepped out of the tent, fully dressed, surly, letting the "The farn beasts, according to the manual...." Instantly alert, Extrone said, "Get the bearers! Have some of them cut tree trunks, sometimes far, sometimes near. Extrone carried the only weapon, slung easily over his shoulder, a powerful blast rifle, capable of piercing medium armor in sustained two-way communication set. Once Extrone unslung his blast rifle and triggered a burst at a tiny, arboreal mammal, which, upon the impact, shattered asunder, to Extrone's satisfied chuckle, in a burst of blood and fur. "Extrone. Eh?... Oh, you got their ship. Well, why in hell bother "Blasted them right out of space," the voice crackled excitedly. "Right in the middle of a radio broadcast, sir." "I don't want to listen to your gabbling when I'm hunting!" Extrone Extrone squinted up at the sun his eyes crinkled under the glare, and "Two?" Extrone grinned, petting the rifle. "You and I better go forward The two of them went forward, alone, into the forest. Extrone moved "Eh?" Extrone said. "They charge on scent, sight, or sound. I understand they will track "They're too unpredictable. It wouldn't be safe. I'd rather have surprise on our side." "You don't seem to see what I mean," Extrone said. " "Extrone wants to see you," Lin said. Ri twisted at the grass shoot, broke it off, worried and unhappy. "What's he want to see Extrone was seated, petting his rifle. Extrone nodded genially.
