Darling, I'm a little worried about one of my crewmen.
gpt
Which one?
human
Young Raines. Do you know which he is?
gpt
Yes. She paused.
human
There's only one young one. Why are you worried about him? Do you think he's sick or something?
gpt
His papers appear to be forged.
human
Maybe he needed a job real bad,
gpt
Maybe, her husband agreed,
human
He might of gotten into some kind of trouble--you know how boys are.
gpt
I'd hardly care to employ the kind of spaceman who gets into trouble serious enough for him to lose his papers. You have to do something pretty drastic to get them taken away, you know.
human
What I'm beginning to suspect is that he isn't really a trained spaceman at all, that he didn't go to any of the Earth space schools.
gpt
Do you have to go to an Earth space school to be a spaceman? Can't you study somewhere else?
human
Earth's the only place where they give the conditioning.
gpt
That's so the men shouldn't--see the things outside when they go through hyperspace, isn't it?
human
How did you know? It's not public information.
gpt
I've known a lot of spacemen, hon.
