"What did he do in the meantime?" Tiff inquired. While talking to Brian heтАЩd had no time to watch the
native.

"HeтАЩs raising his hand each minute and waves," OтАЩKeefe reported.

Tiff slipped into his protective suit. The elastic covering was made of an especially tough plastic material.
Since it had been designed to withstand cosmic dust particles up to a certain size, it should be able to
protect him from the touch of a nonue or even the native himself. "OтАЩKeefe, warn the other vehicles!
Order state of alarm #III"

Before Tiff had closed his suit the crews reported back. Twenty men were alerted. Tiff felt reassured.
He removed the compressor mask since his suit had its own oxygen supply. Before locking his helmet he
told OтАЩKeefe: "Keep in touch with me! DonтАЩt do anything without my instructions!"

Then he flipped the spherical helmet with the wide faceplate, the circular grid of the outer mike and the
small cone of the amplifier, over his head.

A corporal opened the hatch and Tiff stepped outside. He saw the native raising his hand to wave again.
When he saw TiffтАЩs figure emerge from the shadow of the carplane and the mountain wall, he dropped
his hand and waited motionlessly.

Tiff slowly walked toward him, casually carrying his impulse-beamer in his right hand.

"The radar set is out of order, sir," Sgt. Dee complained. "ItтАЩs making double images."

Maj. Chaney was a radar expert. He unfastened himself and shuffled across the room to Dee.
Wordlessly Dee pointed to the oscilloscope of the Gazelle. Normally the screen showed the transmitted
impulse and below it the smaller reflected blip. The distance between the grid lines was a measurement of
the distance between the sender and the reflector, in this case, the surface of Honur.

What Chaney saw, however, and what worried Dee, was a third tiny impulse visible below the reflected
blip. Chaney turned a few knobs. The impulse dots faded but each time they appeared again the little blip
was also present, causing Dee to conclude that the radar wasnтАЩt functioning properly.

Maj. Chaney called the other Gazelles. Their oscillographs showed the same picture and the observers
had drawn the same conclusions about their instruments as Sgt. Dee.

"SomethingтАЩs wrong," Chaney murmured rather confused. "The third impulse is genuine. Is the
oscilloscope still on?"

"As always, sir."

"Good, then we canтАж"
 He didnтАЩt get a chance to say what they could do. A terrible jolt knocked Chaney and all those who
