"THE COLONISTS": EPISODE# 5



EVACUATION TO VENUS. This is the fate forced on a portion of the exiles from Earth who
have just begun to get used to the planet Grautier.

Others begin to do service with the newly established Solar Fleet Base on Grautier.

The problem of peril: mathematical calculations have revealed that in about 10 months the

A BAD DREAM. Tossing and turning in his sleep, Gunther Chellish began to perspire. Finally he sat
bolt upright, eyes wide open.

And stared straight into a gun muzzle.

At first he thought it was part of his nightmare but then his eyes adjusted themselves to the dimness of the
cabin and he could see the reality behind the pistol barrel. It was a huge hairy hand that firmly grasped the
butt-end of the weapon and the hand was attached to an arm that, from ChellishтАЩs perspective, seemed
to rise to a towering height. There it joined a shoulder that seemed to belong to a professional wrestler.

The nocturnal intruderтАЩs face was barely visible in the diffused residual light from the night lamp but
judging from the breadth of the shoulders, Chellish knew they could only belong to RoaneтАФOliver
Roane, one of the settlers who had recently been taken over into the Fleet. Chellish wondered what
Roane could be thinking of. To break into a Gazelle like this in the middle of the night and startle the only
man on board out of his sleep with a pointed pistol was not something that anyone would do if he were
just kidding around.

But before Chellish could complete his train of thought, Roane spoke to him gruffly. "Come on, on your
feetтАФmake it snappy! And donтАЩt try anything cute. You probably know I can handle a gunтАФright?"
