there isn't a trap, the Karna can't satisfy Braynek, because he's convinced that there has Nordon, and all his questioning on the wildest possibilities, just serves to keep Nordon from getting unconfused. "These two men are honestly doing their best to win at the peace conference, and they've got the Karna reeling. The Karna can see that we're not trying to stall our men are actually working at trying to reach a decision. But what the Karna don't see is that those men, as a team, are unbeatable because, in this situation, they're psychologically incapable of losing." Malloy leafed Again the Secretary of State nodded Malloy, Permanent Terran Ambassador paranoia. The man wasn't technically insane he could be as lucid as the next hand was turned against him. He trusted no one, and was perpetually on his guard against imaginary plots Malloy looked at him. "Didn't you and persecutions. sort of emotional block that left him continually on the horns of one dilemma or another. He was psychologically incapable of making a decision if he were faced with two or more possible alternatives of any major Malloy sighed and pushed the dossiers Malloy closed his eyes. Somewhere And, Malloy knew, his own position For nine years, Bertrand Malloy ever seen him. To have shown himself to one of them would have meant instant loss of prestige. To their way of thinking, an important official was aloof. The greater It was Bertrand Malloy's job to could have handled them without half trying. But Malloy didn't have top-grade men. They couldn't be spared from It's inefficient to waste a man on a job that he can do without half trying that will tax his full output. So Malloy was stuck with the culls. Not the worst ones, of course less important than Saarkkad to the war effort. Malloy knew that, no matter But Malloy didn't like to stop at merely thwarting mental quirks he "Malloy here." "Mr. Malloy?" said a careful voice. Malloy had made her his private out of Malloy's office without his direct order. It had taken Malloy a right—even desirable—for her to keep secrets from everyone except Malloy. over to Malloy. Malloy let her stand there while he eyes widened involuntarily. "Armistice," he said in a low whisper. "There's a chance that the war may be over." Malloy read the whole thing through, fighting to keep his emotions Finally, Malloy looked up. "I'll let you know as soon as I reach a decision, Miss Drayson. I think I hardly need say that no news of this is to leave this office." Malloy watched her go out the door The Karna, slowly being beaten back on every front, were suing for peace. They wanted an armistice conference—immediately. Earth was willing. Interstellar war is too costly to allow it to continue any longer than necessary, and this one had been going on for more than thirteen years now. Peace was necessary. But not peace at any price. The trouble was that the Karna had a reputation for losing wars and winning at the peace table. They were clever, persuasive talkers. They could twist a disadvantage to an advantage, and make their own strengths look like weaknesses. If they won the armistice, they'd be able to retrench and rearm, and the war would break out again within a few years. Now—at this point in time—they could be beaten. They could be forced to allow supervision of the production potential, forced to disarm, rendered impotent. But if the armistice went to their own advantage ... Already, they had taken the offensive in the matter of the peace talks. They had sent a full delegation to The Karna considered this to be fully neutral territory, and Earth couldn't argue the point very well. In addition, they demanded that the conference begin in three days, Terrestrial V. Earth had been caught unprepared for an armistice. They objected. The Karna pointed out that the armistice. Why hadn't Earth been prepared? Did they intend to fight to the utter destruction of Karn? galaxy, most of whom had remained as neutral as possible during the Earth-Karn war. They had no intention into a battle between the two most powerful races in the galaxy. But whoever won the armistice would find that some of the now-neutral races would come in on their Karna played their cards right, their side would be strong enough next time to win. within the three-day limit or lose what might be a vital point in the negotiations. And that was where Bertrand Malloy came in. the Earth-Karn peace conference. He looked up at the ceiling again. "What of the communique, Malloy made his decision. He flipped on his intercom and said: "Miss Drayson, get hold of James Nordon and Kylen Malloy knew the woman would Malloy waved him to a seat. Nordon nodded slowly. "Yes, sir." Malloy explained the problem of the Karna peace talks. "We need a man who can outthink them," Malloy finished, "and judging you make the wrong decisions, your name will be mud back on Earth. But I don't think there's much chance of certainly. Am I to go alone?" "No," said Malloy, "I'm sending I recall, Mr. Malloy. Should I have?" shrewd operator, though. He knows a lot about interstellar law, and he's capable of spotting a trap a mile away. As soon as Nordon had left, Malloy Again Malloy went through the explanation of the peace conference. "Naturally, they'll be trying to trick you every step of the way," Malloy went on. "They're shrewd and underhanded we'll simply have to be more shrewd and more underhanded. Nordon's job is to sit quietly and evaluate the data don't baby them, either. If you see anything underhanded going on, let Nordon know immediately." "They won't get anything by me, Mr. Malloy." By the time the ship from Earth got there, the peace conference had been going on for four days. Bertrand Malloy had full reports on the whole He took Malloy's hand and shook on Earth?" "Tense. They're waiting to see what is going to happen on Five. So am I, for that matter." His eyes were good team, instead. Would you like to see the reports?" Malloy handed them to the secretary, good man, Malloy had to When Blendwell looked up from the reports at last, he said: "Amazing! They've held off the Karna at every point! They've beaten them back! They've managed to cope with and outdo the finest team of negotiators the Karna could send." "I thought they would," said Malloy, Malloy nodded. "I think so. The Karna put us in a dilemma, so I threw a dilemma right back at them." "How do you mean?" "Nordon had a mental block against making decisions. If he took making up his mind whether to kiss her or not until she made up his mind for him, one way or the other. He's that kind of guy. Until he's presented with one, single, clear decision which admits of no alternatives, he can't move at all. they backed down to a single point and proved that it wasn't rigged, Nordon couldn't possibly make up his mind. I drummed into him how important this was, and the more importance there is attached to his decisions, the more incapable he becomes of making them." "What about Braynek?" "Paranoid," said Malloy. "He thinks everyone is plotting against him. In this case, that's all to the good because the Karna are plotting against him. No matter what they put forth, Braynek is convinced that there's a trap in it somewhere, and he digs to find out what the trap is. Even if
