I'm happy that you passed the exams, boys, he said.
gpt
And I want you to know Commander Walters and Major Connel think a lot more of you, though they wouldn't admit it, for the way you worked to make it.
human
Thank you, sir,
gpt
You'll have to excuse us, sir, said Tom.
human
We've got to get out to the hangar and go on guard.
gpt
Yes, and you'd better hurry, said Strong.
human
After that mix-up with Dave Barret, Firehouse Tim has his eye on you. Barret put up quite a fuss about it.
gpt
I still don't see how Mr. Barret got in there, said Tom.
human
The fourth side of the hangar faces the hills, and we three covered the other three sides.
gpt
However he got in, interrupted Strong,
human
Captain Strong, said Roger,
gpt
I think you're perfectly right, Manning. But don't quote me, said Strong, his voice serious.
human

gpt
Well, I can't tell you any more. That's how tight the security is on it.
human
But everyone knows that it's a projectile that will home on a target, sir,
gpt
Yes, that was given to the stereos for general news release, but there are other factors involved, factors so important that they could revolutionize the whole concept of space flight.
human
Wow! said Tom.
gpt
No wonder they have this place so well guarded.
human
Humph, snorted Roger.
gpt
I'd give up the opportunity of guarding this revolutionary secret for one night's good sleep.
human
You'll get that tomorrow when we go off duty, said Tom.
gpt
And please, Roger, no blunders tonight, eh? Let's not take any chances of losing the summer cruise in the _Polaris_.
human
Listen! You want to talk to the Venusian hick about that, not me, declared Roger.
gpt
He's the one that spotted Barret.
human
But you hit him on the head, growled Astro.
gpt
You and your catlike reflexes.
