Steve, she began,
gpt
I was in charge of the psychograph tests taken of all the workers at the projectile operation after the first mishap--
human
How did you know about the second?
gpt
I was ordered to go over the graphs again, to look for any possible clue in a worker's mental make-up that would lead him to a criminal act. She paused and looked up at him squarely.
human
Do you suspect me too?
gpt
I'm sorry, Joan, said the young captain.
human
But this whole business is getting me down. Tom, disappearing on Mars, Roger and Astro walking off guard duty and stealing a scout, and now this latest sabotage attempt. He sighed and shook his head.
gpt
I'm tired I guess.
human
I understand, Steve, and regardless of what Major Connel and Commander Walters have said, I'll bet my last credit there's a good reason for what the boys have done.

human
I'll try to locate Major Connel and you go on and tell the commander what you've found. And Joan--
gpt
Yes?
human
Put in a good word for the cadets, will you? Strong pleaded.
gpt
Both Connel and Commander Walters are all set to blast them right out of the service.
human
I'll do what I can--
