They climbed the hill together, arm in arm. At the crest, they stopped
and looked back into the moon-brightened valley where the thin
needle of metal pointed skyward.
The night wind blew her dress tightly about her slim legs, and she
reached a hand to her head to keep the blonde curls from whipping
about her face.
He put his arm about her waist, squeezed her gently. "Only a few
more hours to wait," he said, reassuringly.

The great ship from beyond the Galaxy drew alongside the tiny
planet, matched its orbit, cut its drive, and drifted slightly toward the
lone moon. The ship was nearly as large as the planet itself, but
there was no interchange of gravity between the two bodies, for the
ship was of a substance made beyond the stars.
Inspector Ryt looked at his sky chart. Yes, it was Sol III. Then he
looked through the port hole at his left and adjusted the lens. Then
he swore by the Seven Sister Suns of Sagittarius.
The lens showed him the moonlit side of the planet. There were
lights there, little rows of lights forming checkered patterns in various
areas. And there were other lights, greater lights which flickered
viciously among the patterns, leaving squat, circular clouds above
them.
Ryt's cheeks puffed out in uncontrollable wrath. "Contaminated!" he
bellowed. "And they are warring on each other!"
He turned from the lens, his gross body glowing in red anger.
"Krembyl!" he screamed. "Krembyl!"
The door at the far side of the room swung open, and the entity
called Krembyl fluttered in. "Yes?" he asked, his body trembling at
the manner in which his name had rung out.
"Your records show Sol III as sterile. Decontaminated!"
"Y-yes, sir," Krembyl stammered. "I—I took care of it myself. Just a—
a few days ago...."
"Look!" shouted Inspector Ryt. "Look for yourself!"
Krembyl went hesitantly to the lens and adjusted himself before it.
He saw the sparkling lights below, the flashes, the tiny clouds, and
his body went pale pink with the shame of defeat.
"I—I am sorry, sir." He turned from the instrument, his pale pink
fading to an ashen gray. "I just don't understand it. I have renovated
the planet several times...."
"Several times?"
"Why, y-yes." Krembyl hurried to a shelf of documents along one
wall, scanned the titles briefly selected one, and returned to the desk.
"Here it is, sir. You will find my reports quite in order, sir."
"Damn the reports!" snapped the inspector. "I want to know why this
planet hasn't been cared for properly!" He darkened his body with a
scowl.

Krembyl fumbled the document open, flipped a few pages. "Here it is,
sir. All written down, sir. All in correct order, sir.
"Cosmos 66, 9238," he read. "Malignant growth noted.
"Cosmos 67, 9238 Decontamination process begun.
"Method: Entire planet encircled with electrical impulses which
caused hydrogen and oxygen to unite into a heavy liquid. Process
continued for a full 40 of planet revolutions.
"Result: Planet covered with the liquid to an average depth of 30
fathoms. Contaminating element, being oxygen-breathing, could not
possibly exist under such conditions."
"Fool!" barked Ryt. "Some of them probably floated to the surface on
some of the buoyant vegetation. They may even have made rafts of
the vegetation. Or a boat!"
"They are exceedingly persistent and adaptable, sir," Krembyl
admitted. "And there were other times...." He broke off to fumble
through the documented account. "Yes, here it is, all written down in
correct form...."
"Damn the reports!" snapped the inspector. "Tell me what happened!"
"Well, sir," said Krembyl, scanning the pages carefully, "it was back in
9237. I noticed the malignancy and took proper measures. I took the
planet from its orbit and into an area remote from the Sol unit.
There, in the intense cold, the polar caps grew larger and larger until
they finally extended over the land portions. Even the middle belt
became frigid. Then I swung the planet back near Sol and let it soak
in tropical heat. I subjected the planet to this treatment three—or
was it four?—times before placing it back permanently in its orbit."
"Dolt!" said Ryt. "They probably hid away in deep crevices. Probably
remained alive through the treatment by eating each other!" He
looked at the unhappy Krembyl for a devastating minute. "You should
have used fire. Burned them out!"
"But I did, sir!" Krembyl said, hurriedly. "I did!" He fumbled rapidly
through the pages. "Here it is, right here! All written out!
"Nebula 42, 9235. Persistence of malignant contamination noted...."
He broke off abruptly as the inspector's body turned to brittle
obsidion.
"H-m-mm.... A-hh.... Well, sir, finding them confined in an area of
particularly lush vegetation, I burned them out, chased them with fire
into arid regions, and swept the garden of plant growth completely
away where they could not find it again."
"But it is obvious that you failed! Even if two of them succeeded in
escaping...."
"And before that, sir," Krembyl hurried on. "Before that, I shook the
land masses violently, rent great fissures that permitted the gasses
and flames to leap out from the central core and spread destruction.
I submerged huge infected areas into the depths of the seas, and
brought up new land masses, fresh and clean, into the light of Sol. I
even...."
"Enough! Enough!" Ryt hit the desk before him a ponderous blow.
"Silence, fool, while I think!"

Krembyl turned a sickly shade of green and let the document close in
weary hands.
Sol III had been a particularly painful lancet in his side, even more so
than had yet been guessed. He hoped the inspector would probe no
deeper. But even as his hopes kindled, they became but ashes.
"There are a few more things I do not understand about this,"
Inspector Ryt was saying. "When this planet was formed from the
elements of space, there was no contamination. It was virgin. And,
yet, it is now contaminated. Why?"
Krembyl felt his inners churning fearfully. His whole body was so filled
with trembling that he could not bring himself to fashion words.
Ryt's body grew blacker in the silence. "Why?" The word was
lightning from the Stygian depths. "WHY?"
Krembyl's body rent asunder, and the effort of reknitting himself so
weakened him that his voice was scarcely a whisper. "They—they
came from Sol V, sir."
The thunderous blow upon the desk top mingled with Ryt's bellow of
fury. Together, the sounds shook the room and nearly disintegrated
Krembyl's hastily reassembled body.
"Dolt! Ass!" screamed Ryt, his body assuming the blackness of the
dust cloud of Orion. "You failed to stop them on Sol V! You not only
let them blow the planet into tiny bits, but you also let them escape
to Sol III! And here all your efforts of extermination have failed again
and again!"
He wheeled to look through the lens again. Three brilliant flashes,
greater than the others, sparkled almost simultaneously upon the
planet's troubled surface, sent up mushrooms of dust and shattered
atoms. "And is this what happened on Sol V?"
"Y-yes," stammered Krembyl. "The same thing. Just before ... just
before...."
He could not bring himself to complete the statement.
Ryt leaped from the seat at the desk, his body black and bloated.
"Then there is not a moment to lose! Exterminate before this planet
is destroyed! And let none escape!"
"But, sir," pleaded Krembyl, "I have tried everything—fire, floods,
ice...."
"Then try something else!" Ryt roared.
Krembyl drifted slowly towards the door.
"Wait!"
Krembyl stopped obediently.
"What about Sol IV?"
"Oh, Sol IV is all right, sir." Krembyl brightened a shade as he turned.
"There is not the slightest trace of contamination. That planet must
have been on the far side of Sol when—when they escaped Sol V. I
am certain, sir, you will find the rest of the system quite in order...."
"Enough! Begin the extermination! And this time employ drastic
measures. Take the planet to the rim of Sol itself and bake it to a
crisp before they infest the entire galaxy."
"Yes, sir. Immediately, sir." Krembyl turned again to the door, thankful
his fate had not been worse.
"And don't fail this time!" warned Ryt. "If you lose Sol III as you lost
Sol V, I'll see to it that you put them both back together again, piece
by piece, if it takes you six eons beyond your retirement age!"

The moon, with its strange accompanying cloud, had nearly set. The
blue of the eastern sky was fading into apple-green. There was a
roaring swish of sound, a shattering blast of energy, a whistling sigh,
then a remote whisper. The needle-like structure from the valley
became a flickering pin point in the sky.
The girl leaned her blonde head against the shoulder of the man
beside her. "We—we are free?" Her voice was but a whisper.
He adjusted the ra-vis to get a clearer view of Earth and its
surrounding space. The view was but slightly distorted by the hot
gases of the stern tubes. "Yes," he said, struggling to keep his
nervousness from playing havoc with his vocal cords. "Free. Free
from a mad world!" He squeezed her hand reassuringly, his eyes
intent upon the screen.
Something had gone wrong. The earth had slid to one edge of the
screen. He readjusted the ra-vis. The space-cloud of black that had
hovered near the moon that night had also shifted its position. It was
now between the earth and the sun, and the earth seemed to be
following it.... The furrow between his dark brows deepened, but he
said nothing.
"Just think of it!" she said, her voice a song. "Mars! And a brave new
world!"
He put an arm about her shoulders and took his eyes from the
screen. It was absurd to think the earth was moving sunward. It was
probably merely due to some space aberration....
"Yes," he said, picking up her enthusiasm. "And after that—the
stars!"

1.F.

1.F.1. Project Gutenberg volunteers and employees expend

considerable effort to identify, do copyright research on, transcribe
and proofread works not protected by U.S. copyright law in creating
the Project Gutenberg™ collection. Despite these efforts, Project
Gutenberg™ electronic works, and the medium on which they may
be stored, may contain “Defects,” such as, but not limited to,
incomplete, inaccurate or corrupt data, transcription errors, a
copyright or other intellectual property infringement, a defective or
damaged disk or other medium, a computer virus, or computer

Section 2. Information about the Mission

of Project Gutenberg™
Project Gutenberg™ is synonymous with the free distribution of
electronic works in formats readable by the widest variety of
computers including obsolete, old, middle-aged and new computers.
It exists because of the efforts of hundreds of volunteers and
donations from people in all walks of life.

Volunteers and financial support to provide volunteers with the

assistance they need are critical to reaching Project Gutenberg™’s
goals and ensuring that the Project Gutenberg™ collection will
remain freely available for generations to come. In 2001, the Project
Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a
secure and permanent future for Project Gutenberg™ and future
generations. To learn more about the Project Gutenberg Literary
Archive Foundation and how your efforts and donations can help,
see Sections 3 and 4 and the Foundation information page at
www.gutenberg.org.

While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where

we have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no
prohibition against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in
such states who approach us with offers to donate.

International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make

any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from
outside the United States. U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff.

Please check the Project Gutenberg web pages for current donation
methods and addresses. Donations are accepted in a number of
other ways including checks, online payments and credit card
donations. To donate, please visit: www.gutenberg.org/donate.

Section 5. General Information About

Project Gutenberg™ electronic works
Professor Michael S. Hart was the originator of the Project
Gutenberg™ concept of a library of electronic works that could be
freely shared with anyone. For forty years, he produced and
distributed Project Gutenberg™ eBooks with only a loose network of
volunteer support.
Project Gutenberg™ eBooks are often created from several printed
editions, all of which are confirmed as not protected by copyright in
the U.S. unless a copyright notice is included. Thus, we do not
necessarily keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper
edition.

Most people start at our website which has the main PG search
facility: www.gutenberg.org.

This website includes information about Project Gutenberg™,

including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary
Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how
to subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks.
