That will do it, Mr. Haljan. He met me in the center of the cubby.

When you locate the enemy, do you think they'll destroy us as they did those other ships?
human
Maybe so, Waters. But let's hope not.

What I mean, Mr. Grantline, is that prudence is sometimes better than reckless valor. The _Cometara_ is no warship. If Earth had sent an international patrol vessel....
human
Can we operate it from here, Gregg, or will you mount it in the bow?
gpt
From here. Drac's swinging. When he's on the course I gave him, I can throw the Benson-ray through the bow dome-port. Waters, you're all done in. Go below and sleep awhile.
human
No, sir; I don't want to sleep.

We've had ours, said Grantline.
human
We'll call you if anything shows up.
gpt
Ready, Gregg?
human
Yes. I've got the range.
