that left the Earth with a wing and a prayer. Earth Instruments within the ship intercepted Machines compiled dictionaries and grammars and began translating the major languages. The history of the planet was tabulated as facts became available. the way to swing nearer Earth. For days the two within the ship listened and watched with little comment. They had to decide soon. "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, 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 our help they may do just that." "I may remind you that in two than a hundred light-years to their problems? They've had two world wars in one generation and that the third and final one in everything they do." "It won't take much," said Ethaniel. "The wrong diplomatic move, or a trigger-happy soldier have to be deliberate. A meteor shower could pass over and their clumsy instruments could interpret it as an all-out enemy attack." was such a planet as Earth." people?" "I'm doing it," said Bal. "Just give them a little time and they 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 one thing they lack, and that's quite odd, they seem exactly like us. Is that what you wanted me to say?" "It is. The fact that they are an incomplete version of ourselves touches me. They actually seem defenseless, though I suppose we can do about it." "There is. We can give them "We can look things over." "And then what? How much "And how long can Earth last? ourselves by looking." They went much closer to Earth, not intending to commit themselves. For a day they circled the planet, avoiding radar detection, which for them was not difficult, testing, and sampling. "In what way?" by some sort of aircraft." find they also have missiles, upward. They either have or are near a primitive form of space 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 their languages easily and I've taken a cram course in two or three of them. But that's not and news bulletins. I should go down and live among them, read books, talk to scholars, work with them, play." "You could do that and you'd really get to know them. But that takes time—and we don't have it." "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 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 it." they met again. In the meantime the ship moved much closer to Earth. They no longer needed instruments to see it. The planet revolved outside the visionports. the oceans and much of the cold. And it will be cold." "Yes. It's their winter." "I did have an idea," said Bal. beings?" worked. Today they have satellites. 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." "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 going to survive, how they can keep their planet in one piece so they can live on it." "That'll go over big. Advice is always popular." "Can't help it. That's all we have time for." "None. We leave the ship here communications, but don't unless "They can't intercept the beams we use." "They can't, and even if they 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." the planet below. "It's going to do the job." "Yeah, but I was thinking of We'll be running straight into it. That won't help us any." "I know, they don't like their helped. We can't wait until it's over." "I'm aware of that," said Bal. religious in origin. That so?" learn anything exact from radio and TV. Now it seems to be parties, and selling merchandise." didn't get as much of it as I ought to have. I was busy studying the people, and they're hard to pin down." "I see. I was thinking there might be some way we could tie ourselves in with this holiday. Make it work for us." "If there is I haven't thought and leave the ship up here with "They can't touch it. No matter how they develop in the next hundred years they still won't be any way." "It's myself I'm thinking "I'll be with you. On the other side of the Earth." "That's not very close. I'd like it better if there were someone 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 were cutting small green trees in the snow. "I've thought of a trick." "If it saves my neck I'm for it." "I don't guarantee anything," the ship against the sun planet and light it up." "They can't imagine that we'd light up an unmanned ship," said 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, the ship over where they can see Earth will see it." Later, with the with light, Bal said: "You know, I feel better about this. We may 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 Earth. As soon as it was of the planet. And the spaceship circled Earth, unmanned, blazing and a man-made satellite came near of a star and brought near Earth to illuminate it. Never, or up from Earth and joined the orbit of the large ship. The two small craft slid inside the large them. In a short time the aliens met again. one day I noticed that the next day the officials were much more cooperative. If it worked for me I thought it might help you." "It did. I don't know why, but 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 and see how much they've learned." "I'm not sure I want to," said Bal. "Say, what's an angel?" "Why?" "When I went out walking people stopped to look. Some an angel." their paintings they had pictured him innumerable times. "I don't think it hurt us that "But you don't know what an "No. I didn't have time to find out. Some creature of their folklore I suppose. You know, except for our wings they're very much like ourselves. Their legends are bound to resemble ours." "Sure," said Bal. "Anyway, peace on Earth."
