<passage>:
sent him winging out in a state of suspension to future centuries ... to a dark blue world whose only defense was to seal tight the prying minds of foolish interlopers. yell in surprise as I floated up towards the light overhead. I was weightless. bound by gravity. I twisted and shut my eyes in terror. There was no sensation of place, no feeling of up or down, no direction. My back me. "If you understand, press button A on your right." What should I understand? That I was floating in a room that had a grasped the metal rail that ran along the wall. I reasoned it was there to propel yourself through the passageway in this weightless atmosphere. It was effortless to move. I turned on my side like a swimmer and went hand over hand, shooting down the corridor. I braced against forward press against the glass, blobs of fire against a black curtain burning into my eyes and brain. It was space. I looked out at deep space, star systems in clusters. I shut my eyes. When I looked again I knew where I was. Why the little room had been shaped like quarter round. Why I drifted weightlessly. Why I was.... David Corbin. I knew more of the puzzle. Something was wrong. After the first shock of looking out, I accepted the fact that I was in a space ship, yet I couldn't read the maps that were fastened to a table, nor understand the function or design of the compact machinery. "You have been removed from suspension. Assume manual control of this ship." Control of a ship? Going where? "Do not begin operations until the others are removed from suspension." I held my bruised hands to my mouth, and I knew that was all the the metal. I dared not try to operate anything. Revive the others ... into the doors in the passageway and went back to the room with the portholes. Everything lay in readiness, fastened down star charts, instruments, glittering equipment. There was no feeling of disorder or use in the room. It waited for human hands to make it operate. no movement outside and I glanced back at the dials. What speeds were they recording? What speeds and perhaps, what distance? It was useless to translate the markings. They stood for anything I might guess, and something kept pricking my mind, telling me I had no time to guess. I could stand it no longer. Searching the ship made me forget my fear. I hoped I would find some could. There were two levels to the ship. They both ended in the lead the engine or engines took up half the ship, cut off from the forward half by the instrument studded shield. I retraced my steps and took a rough estimate of size. The ship, as I called it, was at least four hundred feet long, fifty feet in diameter on the inside. The silence was a force in itself, pressing down from the metal walls, driving me back to the comforting smallness of the room where I had was completely closed, and it didn't yield to the pressure I applied. It had a cover, but no other opening where an arm could extend. I ran the base helplessly. If some sort of antidote was to be administered and chemicals, testing equipment in compact drawers, but nothing marked for me. I wondered if I was an engineer or a pilot, or perhaps a doctor sent along to safeguard the others. Complete amnesia would have been terrible enough but this half knowledge, part awareness and association with the ship was a frightening force that seemed ready to break out of me. I went back to the cabin where the powerful man lay. I had to risk drained under pressure and the arm moved back. "No gravity," he grunted and sat back. "I'm all right," he answered. "There aren't supposed to be any effects wanted him to understand. "Look, I'm in trouble. Nothing fits, except the belt, but the sight of us floating made him shake. He was retching experience were all that mattered to the brass." "Automatic control. I helped to install it." "Can you run this ship? How about the other two?" He hit his hands together. "You fly it, sir. Can't you think?" "I'm trying. I know the ship is familiar, but I've looked it over. Maybe I'm trying too hard." "You flew her from earth until we went into suspension," he said. "I can't remember when," I said. I held the trembling girl against me, shaking my head. He glanced at the girl. "If the calculations are right it was more than a hundred years ago." "You ask the questions," he said. I indicated the ship. "Where in creation are we going?" "We set out from Earth for a single star in the direction of the center of our Galaxy." "From Earth? How could we?" "Let's move slowly, sir," he said. "We're moving fast. I don't know if you can picture it, but we're going about one hundred thousand miles an hour." "Through space?" "Yes." "What direction?" luminosity. We hope to find a planetary system capable of supporting life." "I can't grasp it. How can we go very far in a lifetime?" "It can be done in two lifetimes," John said quietly. "You said I had flown this ship. You meant before this suspension." "Yes. That's why we can cross space to a near star." "How long ago was it?" "It was set at about a hundred years, sir. Doesn't that fit at all?" "What are we to do?" she asked. John answered for me. "First we've got to find out where we are. I know this ship but I can't fly it." "Can I?" I asked. We set up a temporary plan of action. Paul took Karen to the laboratory I was to study the charts and manuals. It was better than doing nothing, and I went into the navigation room and sat down. Earth was an infinitesimal point somewhere behind us on the galactic plane, and no one else was trained to navigate. The ship thundered to life as I the suspension on the return trip." I let my breath out slowly. "I didn't think about that." "We couldn't even get part way back in a lifetime," he said. like warm liquid. I hung on the intercom for support, drawing air into my heaving lungs. "It worked. I'm okay," I said in giddy relief. sun. I thought about the rest of the crew too. "We're heading right for a star...." "It's been dead ahead for hours," he grunted. I leaned over and threw it. Disregard the warning siren ... we were testing the ship." had been picked for us. Food was set down by me, grew cold and was carried away and I was still rechecking the figures. We were on a line ten degrees above the galactic plane. The parallactic baseline from Earth to the single star could be in error several degrees, or we could be right on the calculated position of the star. The radar confirmed have a planetary system like our own. We were out on a gamble to find a planet capable of supporting life. The idea had intrigued scientists before I had first looked up at the night sky. When I was sure the electronically recorded course was accurate for time, I checked direction and speed from the readings and plotted our position. If I was right we were much closer than we wanted to be. The bright pips on the screen gave us the distance and size of the star while we fed the figures into the calculator for our rate of approach. Spectroscopic tests were run on the sun and checked against the figures that had been calculated on Earth. We analyzed temperature, magnetic fields, radial motion, density and luminosity, checking against the standards the scientists had constructed. It was a G type star like our own. It had more density and temperature and suitable planets or not, we had to change course in a hurry. Carl analyzed the findings while we came to a decision. Somewhere along an orbit that might be two hundred miles across, our hypothetical planet circled this star. That distance was selected when the planets in Earth's solar system had proved to be barren. If the observations on this star were correct, we could expect to find a planet in a state of fertility ... if it existed ... if it were suitable for colonization ... if we could find it.
