Earth For days the two within the ship listened and watched with little "We've got to make or break," said the first alien. "You know what I'm in favor of," said the second. "I can guess," said Ethaniel, who had spoken first. "The place is a complete mess. They've never each other—and invent better weapons." "It's not what they've done," said Bal, the second alien. "It's what they're going to do, with that big bomb." "The more reason for stopping," said Ethaniel. "The big bomb can destroy them. Without our help they may do just that." "A week," said Ethaniel. "We "A week?" said Bal. "To settle "It won't take much," said Ethaniel. "The wrong diplomatic move, or a trigger-happy soldier could set it off. And it wouldn't it as an all-out enemy attack." "Too bad," said Bal. "We'll just have to forget there ever people?" "I'm doing it," said Bal. "Just give them a little time and they won't be here to remind me that "My memory isn't convenient," said Ethaniel. "I ask you to look at them." Bal rustled, flicking the screen intently. "Very much like ourselves," he said at last. "A bit shorter perhaps, and most certainly us. Is that what you wanted me to say?" "It is. The fact that they are touches me. They actually seem defenseless, though I suppose they're not." "Tough," said Bal. "Nothing we can do about it." "There is. We can give them begin to undo the effect of the big bomb." "You can't tell," said Ethaniel. "We can look things over." "And then what? How much "Very little," conceded Ethaniel. nothing in this region of space our people want," said Ethaniel. "And how long can Earth last? Ten years? Even ten months? The tension is building by the hour." "What can I say?" said Bal. "I suppose we can stop and look them over. We're not committing themselves. For a day they circled detection, which for them was not difficult, testing, and sampling. Finally Ethaniel looked up from the monitor screen. "Any conclusions?" "In what way?" near a primitive form of space travel." "Bad," said Ethaniel. "Sitting there, wondering when it's going to hit them. Nervousness could set it off." "It could, and the missiles make it worse," said Bal. "What did you find out at your end?" were investigating their weapons." "You must think something." "I wish I knew what to think. There's so little time," Ethaniel said. "Language isn't the difficulty. Our machines translate "I realize that." "A flat yes or no," said Bal. "No. We can't help them," said Ethaniel. "There is nothing we can do for them—but we have to try." "Sure, I knew it before we started," said Bal. "It's happened before. We take the trouble to find out what a people are like and when we can't help them we feel bad. It's going to be that the north. "I haven't thought of anything brilliant," said Ethaniel. "Nor I," said Bal. "We're going to have to go down there cold. And it will be cold." "Yes. It's their winter." "I did have an idea," said Bal. "What about going down as supernatural beings?" "Hardly," said Ethaniel. "A They are not primitives." "I suppose you're right," said Bal. "I did think we ought to take advantage of our physical differences." "If we could I'd be all for it. But these people are rough and desperate. They wouldn't be fooled by anything that crude." "Well, you're calling it," said Bal. "All right," said Ethaniel. "You take one side and I the other. We'll tell them bluntly what they'll have to do if they're always popular." "Can't help it. That's all we have time for." "None. We leave the ship here "They can't intercept the beams we use." did they wouldn't know what to do with our language. I want them to think that we don't need to talk things over." "I get it. Makes us seem better than we are. They think we know exactly what we're doing even though we don't." "If we're lucky they'll think that." Bal looked out of the port at "I'm afraid not. The great We'll be running straight into it. That won't help us any." "I know, they don't like their holidays interrupted. It can't be helped. We can't wait until it's over." "I'm aware of that," said Bal. "It was religious a long time ago," said Ethaniel. "I didn't learn anything exact from radio "You ought to know. You're running this one." Bal looked how they develop in the next "I'll be with you. On the other side of the Earth." "That's not very close. I'd like in the ship to bring it down in a hurry if things get rough. They don't think much of each other. I don't imagine they'll like aliens any better." "They may be unfriendly," Ethaniel acknowledged. Now he switched a monitor screen until "If it saves my neck I'm for "I don't guarantee anything," said Ethaniel. "This is what I was thinking of: instead of hiding the ship against the sun they do see it. Let's take it around to the night side of the planet and light it up." "Say, pretty good," said Bal. "They can't imagine that we'd light up an unmanned ship," said Ethaniel. "Even if the thought should occur to them they'll have no way of checking it. Also, they won't be eager to harm us with our ship shining down on them." "That's thinking," said Bal, moving to the controls. "I'll move with light, Bal said: "You know, be just the help we need." "It's not we who need help, but the people of Earth," said Ethaniel. "See you in five days." With safe to do so, Bal left in another of the planet. up from Earth and joined the them. In a short time the aliens met again. "We did it," said Bal exultantly as he came in. "I don't know how we did it and I thought we were going to fail but at the last minute they came through." Ethaniel smiled. "I'm tired," he said, rustling. "Me too, but mostly I'm cold," said Bal, shivering. "Snow. Nothing but snow wherever I went. Miserable climate. And yet Ethaniel. "If I went out walking one day I noticed that the next day the officials were much more "It did. I don't know why, but it did," said Bal. "Anyway, this agreement they made isn't the best but I think it will keep them from destroying themselves." "It's as much as we can expect," said Ethaniel. "They may have small wars after this, but Bal. "Say, what's an angel?" "Why?" "When I went out walking people stopped to look. Some knelt in the snow and called me an angel." "Something like that happened to me," said Ethaniel. "I didn't get it but I didn't let it upset me," said Bal. "I smiled at them and went about my business." He shivered again. "It was sometimes I flew back. I hope that was all right." In the cabin Bal spread his him innumerable times. "I don't think it hurt us that you flew," said Ethaniel. "I did so myself occasionally." angel is?" like ourselves. Their legends are bound to resemble ours." "Sure," said Bal. "Anyway,
