<passage>:
there isn't a trap, the Karna can't satisfy Braynek, because he's convinced that there has to be—somewhere. As a result, all his advice to Nordon, and all his questioning on the wildest possibilities, just serves to keep Nordon from getting unconfused. "These two men are honestly doing The Karna can see that we're not trying to stall Malloy leafed casually through the dossiers of the four new men who had been assigned to him. They were typical of the kind our men are actually working at trying to reach a decision. his approval, but there was still a question in his mind. "Since you know all that, couldn't you have handled it yourself?" "Maybe, but I doubt it. They might have gotten around me someway by it's better this way." he could be as lucid as the next man most of the time. But he was morbidly suspicious that every man's The Secretary of State raised an Malloy looked at him. "Didn't you trusted no one, and was perpetually on his guard against imaginary plots and persecutions. or another. He was psychologically incapable of making a decision if he were faced with two or more possible alternatives of any major importance. Malloy sighed and pushed the dossiers the basic similarity there, after all? He was—how old? He glanced at his recollections. And—he grinned softly to himself—he had Saarkkad. He glanced up at the ceiling, and mentally allowed his gaze to penetrate it to the blue sky beyond it. Malloy closed his eyes. Somewhere of the alien Karna in the most important war that Mankind had yet And, Malloy knew, his own position To their way of thinking, an important official was aloof. The greater his importance, the greater must be underlings. It was a long, roundabout way of doing business, but it was the only way Saarkkad would do any that were vitally necessary to Earth's war, and which could be keep the production output high and to keep the materiel flowing towards Earth and her allies and outposts. The job would have been a snap could have handled them without half trying. work that required their total capacity. It's inefficient to waste a man on a job that he can do without half trying where there are more important jobs So Malloy was stuck with the culls. were places in the galaxy that were less important than Saarkkad to the war effort. Malloy knew that, no matter what was wrong with a man, as long as he had the mental ability to dress himself and get himself to work, useful work could be found for But Malloy didn't like to stop at merely thwarting mental quirks he liked to find places where they were useful . "Malloy here." "Mr. Malloy?" said a careful voice. Miss Drayson was a case in point. She was uncommunicative. She liked to gather in information, but she found it difficult to give it up once it was in her possession. Malloy had made her his private secretary. Nothing—but nothing out of Malloy's office without his direct order. It had taken Malloy a long time to get it into Miss Drayson's head that it was perfectly all right—even desirable—for her to keep secrets from everyone except Malloy. She came in through the door, a rather handsome woman in her middle thirties, clutching a sheaf of someone might at any instant snatch it from her before she could turn it over to Malloy. She laid them carefully on the desk. "If anything else comes in, I'll let you know immediately, sir," she said. "Will there be anything else?" Malloy let her stand there while he picked up the communique. She wanted to know what his reaction was going to be it didn't matter because no one would ever find out from her what he had done unless she was ordered to tell someone. He read the first paragraph, and his whisper. "There's a chance that the war may be over." "Yes, sir," said Miss Drayson in a hushed voice. Malloy read the whole thing through, fighting to keep his emotions in check. Miss Drayson stood emotions were a secret. Finally, Malloy looked up. "I'll let you know as soon as I reach a decision, Miss Drayson. I think I hardly Malloy watched her go out the door without actually seeing her. The war was over—at least for a while. He looked down at the papers again. Earth was willing. Interstellar war is too costly to allow it to continue 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. only by low-intelligence animals. The Karna considered this to be fully neutral territory, and Earth and that it was unfair for Earth to take so much time in preparing for an It wouldn't have been a problem at all if Earth and Karn had fostered the only two intelligent races in the galaxy. side would be strong enough next time to win. "What can I do?" he said softly. On the second day after the arrival intercom and said: "Miss Drayson, tell Braynek to wait." "Yes, sir." "And keep the recorder on. You can file the tape later." "Yes, sir." Malloy knew the woman would listen in on the intercom anyway, and it was better to give her permission to do so. Malloy waved him to a seat. Malloy explained the problem of the Karna peace talks. "We need a man who can outthink them," Malloy finished, "and judging certainly. Am I to go alone?" "No," said Malloy, "I'm sending an assistant with you—a man named I recall, Mr. Malloy. Should I have?" "Not necessarily. He's a pretty shrewd operator, though. He knows a lot about interstellar law, and he's capable of spotting a trap a mile away. want you to pay special attention to his advice." "I will, sir," Nordon said gratefully. "A man like that can be useful." to study it and get it into your head before the ship leaves. That isn't much time, but it's the Karna who are As soon as Nordon had left, Malloy Miss Drayson." heavy, protruding brows. Malloy asked Again Malloy went through the explanation trick you every step of the way," Malloy we'll simply have to be more shrewd and more underhanded. Nordon's job is to sit quietly and evaluate the data will be to find the loopholes they're laying out for themselves and plug them. Don't antagonize them, but 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." Malloy had full reports on the whole "I thought it better not to. I sent a good team, instead. Would you like Malloy handed them to the secretary, and as he read, Malloy watched and outdo the finest team of negotiators the Karna could send." "I thought they would," said Malloy, trying to appear modest. The secretary's eyes narrowed. Malloy nodded. "I think so. The "Nordon had a mental block against making decisions. If he took a girl out on a date, he'd have trouble 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. "As you can see, the Karna tried this was, and the more importance there is attached to his decisions, the more incapable he becomes of making them." The Secretary nodded slowly. "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
