+    _Why should people hate vultures? After all, a vulture never
+    kills anyone..._
+
+
+The launch carrying the mail, supplies and replacements eased slowly
+in toward the base, keeping the bulk of the Moon between itself and
+Earth. Captain Ebor, seated at the controls, guided the ship to the
+rocky uneven ground with the easy carelessness of long practice, then
+cut the drive, got to his walking tentacles, and stretched. Donning
+his spacesuit, he left the ship to go over to the dome and meet
+Darquelnoy, the base commander.
+
+An open ground-car was waiting for him beside the ship. The driver,
+encased in his spacesuit, crossed tentacles in a sloppy salute, and
+Ebor returned the gesture quite as sloppily. Here on the periphery,
+cast formalities were all but dispensed with.
+
+Ebor stood for a moment and watched the unloading. The cargo crew,
+used to working in spacesuits, had one truck already half full. The
+replacements, unused to spacesuits and, in addition, awed and a bit
+startled by the bleakness of this satellite, were moving awkwardly
+down the ramp.
+
+Satisfied that the unloading was proceeding smoothly, Ebor climbed
+aboard the ground-car, awkward in his suit, and settled back heavily
+in the seat to try to get used to gravity again. The gravity of this
+Moon was slight, of course--barely one-sixth the gravity of the Home
+World or most of the colonies--but it still took getting used to,
+after a long trip in free-fall.
+
+The driver sat at the controls, and the car jerked into motion. Ebor,
+looking up, noticed for the first time that the dome wasn't there any
+more. The main dome, housing the staff and equipment of the base, just
+wasn't there.
+
+And the driver, he now saw, was aiming the car toward the nearby
+crater wall. Extending two of his eyes till they almost touched the
+face-plate of his helmet, he could see activity at the base of the
+crater wall, and what looked like an air-lock entrance. He wondered
+what had caused the change, which had obviously been done at top
+speed. The last time he'd been here, not very long ago, the dome had
+still been intact, and there had been no hint of any impending move
+underground.
+
+The driver steered the car into the open air lock, and they waited
+until the first cargo truck had lumbered in after them. Then the outer
+door closed, the pumps were turned on, and in a minute the red light
+flashed over the inner door. Ebor removed the spacesuit gratefully,
+left it in the car, and walked clumsily through the inner door into
+the new base.
+
+A good job had been done on it, for all the speed. Rooms and corridors
+has been melted out of the rock, the floors had been carpeted, the
+walls painted, and the ceiling lined with light panels. All of the
+furnishings had been transferred here from the original dome, and the
+result looked, on the whole, quite livable. As livable as the dome had
+been, at least.
+
+But the base commander, Darquelnoy, waiting for his old friend Ebor
+near the inner door of the lock, looked anything but happy with the
+arrangement. At Ebor's entrance he raised a limp tentacle in weary
+greeting and said, "Come in, my friend, come in. Tell me the new jokes
+from home. I could use some cheering up."
+
+"None worth telling," said Ebor. He looked around. "What's happened
+here?" he asked. "Why've you gone underground? Why do you need
+cheering up?"
+
+Darquelnoy clicked his eyes in despair. "Those _things_!" he cried.
+"Those annoying little creatures on that blasted planet up there!"
+
+Ebor repressed an amused ripple. He knew Darquelnoy well enough to
+know that the commander invariably overstated things. "What've they
+been up to, Dar?" he asked. "Come on, you can tell me over a hot cup
+of restno."
+
+"I've been practically living on the stuff for the last two dren,"
+said Darquelnoy hopelessly. "Well, I suppose another cup won't kill
+me. Come on to my quarters."
+
+"I've worked up a fine thirst on the trip," Ebor told him.
+
+       *       *       *       *       *
+
+The two walked down the long corridor together and Ebor said, "Well?
+What happened?"
+
+"They came here," Darquelnoy told him simply. At Ebor's shocked look,
+he rippled in wan amusement and said, "Oh, it wasn't as bad as it
+might have been, I suppose. It was just that we had to rush around so
+frantically, unloading and dismantling the dome, getting this place
+ready--"
+
+"What do you mean, they _came_ here?" demanded Ebor.
+
+"They are absolutely the worst creatures for secrecy in the entire
+galaxy!" exclaimed Darquelnoy in irritation. "Absolutely the worst."
+
+"Then you've picked up at least one of their habits," Ebor told him.
+"Now stop talking in circles and tell me what happened."
+
+"They built a spaceship, is the long and the short of it," Darquelnoy
+answered.
+
+Ebor stopped in astonishment. "No!"
+
+"Don't tell me no!" cried Darquelnoy. "I _saw_ it!" He was obviously
+at his wit's end.
+
+"It's unbelievable," said Ebor.
+
+"I know," said Darquelnoy. He led the way into his quarters, motioned
+Ebor to a perch, and rang for his orderly. "It was just a little
+remote-controlled apparatus, of course," he said. "The fledgling
+attempt, you know. But it circled this Moon here, busily taking
+pictures, and went right back to the planet again, giving us all a
+terrible fright. There hadn't been the slightest indication they were
+planning anything _that_ spectacular."
+
+"None?" asked Ebor. "Not a hint?"
+
+"Oh, they've been boasting about doing some such thing for ages,"
+Darquelnoy told him. "But there was never any indication that they
+were finally serious about it. They have all sorts of military
+secrecy, of course, and so you never know a thing is going to happen
+until it does."
+
+"Did they get a picture of the dome?"
+
+"Thankfully, no. And before they had a chance to try again, I whipped
+everything underground."
+
+"It must have been hectic," Ebor said sympathetically.
+
+"It was," said Darquelnoy simply.
+
+The orderly entered. Darquelnoy told him, "Two restno," and he left
+again.
+
+"I can't imagine them making a spaceship," said Ebor thoughtfully. "I
+would have thought they'd have blown themselves up long before
+reaching that stage."
+
+"I would have thought so, too," said Darquelnoy. "But there it is. At
+the moment, they've divided themselves into two camps--generally
+speaking, that is--and the two sides are trying like mad to outdo each
+other in everything. As a part of it, they're shooting all sorts of
+rubbish into space and crowing every time a piece of the other side's
+rubbish malfunctions."
+
+"They could go on that way indefinitely," said Ebor.
+
+"I know," said Darquelnoy gloomily. "And here we sit."
+
+Ebor nodded, studying his friend. "You don't suppose this is all a
+waste of time, do you?" he asked, after a minute.
+
+Darquelnoy shook a tentacle in negation. "Not at all, not at all.
+They'll get around to it, sooner or later. They're still boasting
+themselves into the proper frame of mind, that's all."
+
+Ebor rippled in sympathetic amusement. "I imagine you sometimes wish
+you could give them a little prodding in the right direction," he
+said.
+
+Darquelnoy fluttered his tentacles in horror, crying, "Don't even
+_think_ of such a thing!"
+
+"I know, I know," said Ebor hastily. "The laws--"
+
+"Never mind the laws," snapped Darquelnoy. "I'm not even thinking
+about the laws. Frankly, if it would do any good, I might even
+consider breaking one or two of the laws, and the devil with my
+conditioning."
+
+"You _are_ upset," said Ebor at that.
+
+"But if we were to interfere with those creatures up there," continued
+Darquelnoy, "interfere with them in any way at all, it would be
+absolutely disastrous."
+
+The orderly returned at that point, with two steaming cups of restno.
+Darquelnoy and Ebor accepted the cups and the orderly left, making a
+sloppy tentacle-cross salute, which the two ignored.
+
+       *       *       *       *       *
+
+"I wasn't talking necessarily about attacking them, you know," said
+Ebor, returning to the subject.
+
+"Neither was I," Darquelnoy told him. "We wouldn't have to attack
+them. All we would have to do is let them know we're here. Not even
+_why_ we're here, just the simple fact of our presence. That would be
+enough. _They_ would attack _us_."
+
+Ebor extended his eyes in surprise. "As vicious as all that?"
+
+"Chilling," Darquelnoy told him. "Absolutely chilling."
+
+"Then I'm surprised they haven't blown themselves to pieces long
+before this."
+
+"Oh, well," said Darquelnoy, "you see, they're cowards, too. They have
+to boast and brag and shout a while before they finally get to clawing
+and biting at one another."
+
+Ebor waved a tentacle. "Don't make it so vivid."
+
+"Sorry," apologized Darquelnoy. He drained his cup of restno. "Out
+here," he said, "living next door to the little beasts day after day,
+one begins to lose one's sensibilities."
+
+"It has been a long time," agreed Ebor.
+
+"Longer than we had originally anticipated," Darquelnoy said frankly.
+"We've been ready to move in for I don't know how long. And instead we
+just sit here and wait. Which isn't good for morale, either."
+
+"No, I don't imagine it is."
+
+"There's already a theory among some of the workmen that the blow-up
+just isn't going to happen, ever. And since that ship went circling
+by, of course, morale has hit a new low."
+
+"It would have been nasty if they'd spotted you," said Ebor.
+
+"Nasty?" echoed Darquelnoy. "Catastrophic, you mean. All that crowd up
+there needs is an enemy, and it doesn't much matter to them who that
+enemy is. If they were to suspect that we were here, they'd forget
+their own little squabbles at once and start killing us instead. And
+that, of course, would mean that they'd be united, for the first time
+in their history, and who knows how long it would take them before
+they'd get back to killing one another again."
+
+"Well," said Ebor, "you're underground now. And it can't possibly take
+them _too_ much longer."
+
+"One wouldn't think so," agreed Darquelnoy. "In a way," he added,
+"that spaceship was a hopeful sign. It means that they'll be sending a
+manned ship along pretty soon, and that should do the trick. As soon
+as one side has a base on the Moon, the other side is bound to get
+things started."
+
+"A relief for you, eh?" said Ebor.
+
+"You know," said Darquelnoy thoughtfully, "I can't help thinking I was
+born in the wrong age. All this scrabbling around, searching
+everywhere for suitable planets. Back when the Universe was younger,
+there were lots and lots of planets to colonize. Now the old problem
+of half-life is taking its toll, and we can't even hope to keep up
+with the birth rate any more. If it weren't for the occasional planets
+like that one up there, I don't know what we'd do."
+
+"Don't worry," Ebor told him. "They'll have their atomic war pretty
+soon, and leave us a nice high-radiation planet to colonize."
+
+"I certainly hope it's soon," said Darquelnoy. "This waiting gets on
+one's nerves." He rang for the orderly.

+that is—and the two sides are trying
+like mad to outdo each other in everything.
+As a part of it, they’re shooting
+all sorts of rubbish into space and
+crowing every time a piece of the
+other side’s rubbish malfunctions.”</p>
+
+<p>“They could go on that way indefinitely,”
+said Ebor.</p>
+
+<p>“I know,” said Darquelnoy gloomily.
+“And here we sit.”</p>
+
+<p>Ebor nodded, studying his friend.
+“You don’t suppose this is all a waste
+of time, do you?” he asked, after a
+minute.</p>
+
+<p>Darquelnoy shook a tentacle in
+negation. “Not at all, not at all.
+They’ll get around to it, sooner or
+later. They’re still boasting themselves
+into the proper frame of mind,
+that’s all.”</p>
+
+<p>Ebor rippled in sympathetic
+<a class="pagenum" id="page53" title="53"> </a>amusement. “I imagine you sometimes
+wish you could give them a little
+prodding in the right direction,”
+he said.</p>
+
+<p>Darquelnoy fluttered his tentacles
+in horror, crying, “Don’t even <em>think</em>
+of such a thing!”</p>
+
+<p>“I know, I know,” said Ebor hastily.
+“The laws—”</p>
+
+<p>“Never mind the laws,” snapped
+Darquelnoy. “I’m not even thinking
+about the laws. Frankly, if it would
+do any good, I might even consider
+breaking one or two of the laws, and
+the devil with my conditioning.”</p>
+
+<p>“You <em>are</em> upset,” said Ebor at that.</p>
+
+<p>“But if we were to interfere with
+those creatures up there,” continued
+Darquelnoy, “interfere with them in
+any way at all, it would be absolutely
+disastrous.”</p>
+
+<p>The orderly returned at that point,
+with two steaming cups of restno.
+Darquelnoy and Ebor accepted the
+cups and the orderly left, making a
+sloppy tentacle-cross salute, which
+the two ignored.</p>
+
+<hr class="thoughtbreak" />
+
+<p class="post_thoughtbreak">“I wasn’t talking necessarily about
+attacking them, you know,” said Ebor,
+returning to the subject.</p>
+
+<p>“Neither was I,” Darquelnoy told
+him. “We wouldn’t have to attack
+them. All we would have to do is let
+them know we’re here. Not even <em>why</em>
+we’re here, just the simple fact of our
+presence. That would be enough.
+<em>They</em> would attack <em>us</em>.”</p>
+
+<p>Ebor extended his eyes in surprise.
+“As vicious as all that?”</p>
+
+<p>“Chilling,” Darquelnoy told him.
+“Absolutely chilling.”</p>
+
+<p><a class="pagenum" id="page54" title="54"> </a>“Then I’m surprised they haven’t
+blown themselves to pieces long before
+this.”</p>
+
+<p>“Oh, well,” said Darquelnoy, “you
+see, they’re cowards, too. They have
+to boast and brag and shout a while
+before they finally get to clawing
+and biting at one another.”</p>
+
+<p>Ebor waved a tentacle. “Don’t make
+it so vivid.”</p>
+
+<p>“Sorry,” apologized Darquelnoy.
+He drained his cup of restno. “Out
+here,” he said, “living next door to the
+little beasts day after day, one begins
+to lose one’s sensibilities.”</p>
+
+<p>“It has been a long time,” agreed
+Ebor.</p>
+
+<p>“Longer than we had originally
+anticipated,” Darquelnoy said frankly.
+“We’ve been ready to move in for
+I don’t know how long. And instead
+we just sit here and wait. Which
+isn’t good for morale, either.”</p>
+
+<p>“No, I don’t imagine it is.”</p>
+
+<p>“There’s already a theory among
+some of the workmen that the blow-up
+just isn’t going to happen, ever.
+And since that ship went circling by,
+of course, morale has hit a new low.”</p>
+
+<p>“It would have been nasty if they’d
+spotted you,” said Ebor.</p>
+
+<p>“Nasty?” echoed Darquelnoy. “Catastrophic,
+you mean. All that crowd
+up there needs is an enemy, and it
+doesn’t much matter to them who
+that enemy is. If they were to suspect
+that we were here, they’d forget their
+own little squabbles at once and start
+killing us instead. And that, of course,
+would mean that they’d be united, for
+the first time in their history, and
+who knows how long it would take
+them before they’d get back to killing
+one another again.”</p>
+
+<p>“Well,” said Ebor, “you’re underground
+now. And it can’t possibly
+take them <em>too</em> much longer.”</p>
+
+<p>“One wouldn’t think so,” agreed
+Darquelnoy. “In a way,” he added,
+“that spaceship was a hopeful sign.
+It means that they’ll be sending a
+manned ship along pretty soon, and
+that should do the trick. As soon as
+one side has a base on the Moon, the
+other side is bound to get things
+started.”</p>
+
+<p>“A relief for you, eh?” said Ebor.</p>
+
+<p>“You know,” said Darquelnoy
+thoughtfully, “I can’t help thinking I
+was born in the wrong age. All this
+scrabbling around, searching everywhere
+for suitable planets. Back when
+the Universe was younger, there were
+lots and lots of planets to colonize.
+Now the old problem of half-life is
+taking its toll, and we can’t even hope
+to keep up with the birth rate any
+more. If it weren’t for the occasional
+planets like that one up there, I don’t
+know what we’d do.”</p>
+
+<p>“Don’t worry,” Ebor told him.
+“They’ll have their atomic war pretty
+soon, and leave us a nice high-radiation
+planet to colonize.”</p>
+
+<p>“I certainly hope it’s soon,” said
+Darquelnoy. “This waiting gets on
+one’s nerves.” He rang for the orderly.</p>

+THEY ALSO SERVE
+
+By DONALD E. WESTLAKE
+
+Illustrated by Douglas
+
+    _Why should people hate vultures? After all, a vulture never
+    kills anyone..._
+
+
+The launch carrying the mail, supplies and replacements eased slowly
+in toward the base, keeping the bulk of the Moon between itself and
+Earth. Captain Ebor, seated at the controls, guided the ship to the
+rocky uneven ground with the easy carelessness of long practice, then
+cut the drive, got to his walking tentacles, and stretched. Donning
+his spacesuit, he left the ship to go over to the dome and meet
+Darquelnoy, the base commander.
+
+An open ground-car was waiting for him beside the ship. The driver,
+encased in his spacesuit, crossed tentacles in a sloppy salute, and
+Ebor returned the gesture quite as sloppily. Here on the periphery,
+cast formalities were all but dispensed with.
+
+Ebor stood for a moment and watched the unloading. The cargo crew,
+used to working in spacesuits, had one truck already half full. The
+replacements, unused to spacesuits and, in addition, awed and a bit
+startled by the bleakness of this satellite, were moving awkwardly
+down the ramp.
+
+Satisfied that the unloading was proceeding smoothly, Ebor climbed
+aboard the ground-car, awkward in his suit, and settled back heavily
+in the seat to try to get used to gravity again. The gravity of this
+Moon was slight, of course--barely one-sixth the gravity of the Home
+World or most of the colonies--but it still took getting used to,
+after a long trip in free-fall.
+
+The driver sat at the controls, and the car jerked into motion. Ebor,
+looking up, noticed for the first time that the dome wasn't there any
+more. The main dome, housing the staff and equipment of the base, just
+wasn't there.
+
+And the driver, he now saw, was aiming the car toward the nearby
+crater wall. Extending two of his eyes till they almost touched the
+face-plate of his helmet, he could see activity at the base of the
+crater wall, and what looked like an air-lock entrance. He wondered
+what had caused the change, which had obviously been done at top
+speed. The last time he'd been here, not very long ago, the dome had
+still been intact, and there had been no hint of any impending move
+underground.
+
+The driver steered the car into the open air lock, and they waited
+until the first cargo truck had lumbered in after them. Then the outer
+door closed, the pumps were turned on, and in a minute the red light
+flashed over the inner door. Ebor removed the spacesuit gratefully,
+left it in the car, and walked clumsily through the inner door into
+the new base.
+
+A good job had been done on it, for all the speed. Rooms and corridors
+has been melted out of the rock, the floors had been carpeted, the
+walls painted, and the ceiling lined with light panels. All of the
+furnishings had been transferred here from the original dome, and the
+result looked, on the whole, quite livable. As livable as the dome had
+been, at least.
+
+But the base commander, Darquelnoy, waiting for his old friend Ebor
+near the inner door of the lock, looked anything but happy with the
+arrangement. At Ebor's entrance he raised a limp tentacle in weary
+greeting and said, "Come in, my friend, come in. Tell me the new jokes
+from home. I could use some cheering up."
+
+"None worth telling," said Ebor. He looked around. "What's happened
+here?" he asked. "Why've you gone underground? Why do you need
+cheering up?"
+
+Darquelnoy clicked his eyes in despair. "Those _things_!" he cried.
+"Those annoying little creatures on that blasted planet up there!"
+
+Ebor repressed an amused ripple. He knew Darquelnoy well enough to
+know that the commander invariably overstated things. "What've they
+been up to, Dar?" he asked. "Come on, you can tell me over a hot cup
+of restno."
+
+"I've been practically living on the stuff for the last two dren,"
+said Darquelnoy hopelessly. "Well, I suppose another cup won't kill
+me. Come on to my quarters."
+
+"I've worked up a fine thirst on the trip," Ebor told him.
+
+       *       *       *       *       *
+
+The two walked down the long corridor together and Ebor said, "Well?
+What happened?"
+
+"They came here," Darquelnoy told him simply. At Ebor's shocked look,
+he rippled in wan amusement and said, "Oh, it wasn't as bad as it
+might have been, I suppose. It was just that we had to rush around so
+frantically, unloading and dismantling the dome, getting this place
+ready--"
+
+"What do you mean, they _came_ here?" demanded Ebor.
+
+"They are absolutely the worst creatures for secrecy in the entire
+galaxy!" exclaimed Darquelnoy in irritation. "Absolutely the worst."
+
+"Then you've picked up at least one of their habits," Ebor told him.
+"Now stop talking in circles and tell me what happened."
+
+"They built a spaceship, is the long and the short of it," Darquelnoy
+answered.
+
+Ebor stopped in astonishment. "No!"
+
+"Don't tell me no!" cried Darquelnoy. "I _saw_ it!" He was obviously
+at his wit's end.
+
+"It's unbelievable," said Ebor.
+
+"I know," said Darquelnoy. He led the way into his quarters, motioned
+Ebor to a perch, and rang for his orderly. "It was just a little
+remote-controlled apparatus, of course," he said. "The fledgling
+attempt, you know. But it circled this Moon here, busily taking
+pictures, and went right back to the planet again, giving us all a
+terrible fright. There hadn't been the slightest indication they were
+planning anything _that_ spectacular."
+
+"None?" asked Ebor. "Not a hint?"
+
+"Oh, they've been boasting about doing some such thing for ages,"
+Darquelnoy told him. "But there was never any indication that they
+were finally serious about it. They have all sorts of military
+secrecy, of course, and so you never know a thing is going to happen
+until it does."
+
+"Did they get a picture of the dome?"
+
+"Thankfully, no. And before they had a chance to try again, I whipped
+everything underground."
+
+"It must have been hectic," Ebor said sympathetically.
+
+"It was," said Darquelnoy simply.
+
+The orderly entered. Darquelnoy told him, "Two restno," and he left
+again.
+
+"I can't imagine them making a spaceship," said Ebor thoughtfully. "I
+would have thought they'd have blown themselves up long before
+reaching that stage."
+
+"I would have thought so, too," said Darquelnoy. "But there it is. At
+the moment, they've divided themselves into two camps--generally
+speaking, that is--and the two sides are trying like mad to outdo each
+other in everything. As a part of it, they're shooting all sorts of
+rubbish into space and crowing every time a piece of the other side's
+rubbish malfunctions."
+
+"They could go on that way indefinitely," said Ebor.
+
+"I know," said Darquelnoy gloomily. "And here we sit."
+
+Ebor nodded, studying his friend. "You don't suppose this is all a
+waste of time, do you?" he asked, after a minute.
+
+Darquelnoy shook a tentacle in negation. "Not at all, not at all.
+They'll get around to it, sooner or later. They're still boasting
+themselves into the proper frame of mind, that's all."
+
+Ebor rippled in sympathetic amusement. "I imagine you sometimes wish
+you could give them a little prodding in the right direction," he
+said.
+
+Darquelnoy fluttered his tentacles in horror, crying, "Don't even
+_think_ of such a thing!"
+
+"I know, I know," said Ebor hastily. "The laws--"
+
+"Never mind the laws," snapped Darquelnoy. "I'm not even thinking
+about the laws. Frankly, if it would do any good, I might even
+consider breaking one or two of the laws, and the devil with my
+conditioning."
+
+"You _are_ upset," said Ebor at that.
+
+"But if we were to interfere with those creatures up there," continued
+Darquelnoy, "interfere with them in any way at all, it would be
+absolutely disastrous."
+
+The orderly returned at that point, with two steaming cups of restno.
+Darquelnoy and Ebor accepted the cups and the orderly left, making a
+sloppy tentacle-cross salute, which the two ignored.
+
+       *       *       *       *       *
+
+"I wasn't talking necessarily about attacking them, you know," said
+Ebor, returning to the subject.
+
+"Neither was I," Darquelnoy told him. "We wouldn't have to attack

+_why_ we're here, just the simple fact of our presence. That would be
+enough. _They_ would attack _us_."

+1.F.
+
+1.F.1.  Project Gutenberg volunteers and employees expend considerable
+effort to identify, do copyright research on, transcribe and proofread
+public domain works in creating the Project Gutenberg-tm
+collection.  Despite these efforts, Project Gutenberg-tm electronic
+works, and the medium on which they may be stored, may contain
+"Defects," such as, but not limited to, incomplete, inaccurate or

+Project Gutenberg-tm work, and (c) any Defect you cause.
+
+
+Section  2.  Information about the Mission of Project Gutenberg-tm
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm 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-tm's
+goals and ensuring that the Project Gutenberg-tm 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-tm 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 web page at https://www.pglaf.org.

+
+Section 4.  Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg
+Literary Archive Foundation
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm depends upon and cannot survive without wide
+spread public support and donations to carry out its mission of
+increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be
+freely distributed in machine readable form accessible by the widest
+array of equipment including outdated equipment.  Many small donations
+($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt
+status with the IRS.
+
+The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating
+charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United
+States.  Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a
+considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up
+with these requirements.  We do not solicit donations in locations
+where we have not received written confirmation of compliance.  To
+SEND DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any
+particular state visit https://pglaf.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 including checks, online payments and credit card
+donations.  To donate, please visit: https://pglaf.org/donate
+
+
+Section 5.  General Information About Project Gutenberg-tm electronic
+works.
+
+Professor Michael S. Hart was the originator of the Project Gutenberg-tm
+concept of a library of electronic works that could be freely shared
+with anyone.  For thirty years, he produced and distributed Project
+Gutenberg-tm eBooks with only a loose network of volunteer support.
+
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks are often created from several printed
+editions, all of which are confirmed as Public Domain 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 Web site which has the main PG search facility:
+
+     https://www.gutenberg.org
+
+This Web site includes information about Project Gutenberg-tm,
+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.

+mail, supplies and replacements
+eased slowly
+in toward the base,
+keeping the bulk of the
+Moon between itself and Earth. Captain
+Ebor, seated at the controls, guided
+the ship to the rocky uneven
+ground with the easy carelessness of
+long practice, then cut the drive, got
+to his walking tentacles, and
+stretched. Donning his spacesuit, he
+left the ship to go over to the dome
+and meet Darquelnoy, the base commander.</p>
+
+<p>An open ground-car was waiting
+for him beside the ship. The driver,
+encased in his spacesuit, crossed tentacles
+in a sloppy salute, and Ebor returned
+the gesture quite as sloppily.
+Here on the periphery, cast formalities
+were all but dispensed with.</p>
+
+<p>Ebor stood for a moment and
+watched the unloading. The cargo
+crew, used to working in spacesuits,
+had one truck already half full. The
+replacements, unused to spacesuits
+and, in addition, awed and a bit
+startled by the bleakness of this satellite,
+were moving awkwardly down
+the ramp.</p>
+
+<p>Satisfied that the unloading was
+proceeding smoothly, Ebor climbed
+aboard the ground-car, awkward in
+his suit, and settled back heavily in
+the seat to try to get used to gravity
+again. The gravity of this Moon was
+slight, of course—barely one-sixth
+the gravity of the Home World or
+most of the colonies—but it still
+took getting used to, after a long
+trip in free-fall.</p>
+
+<p>The driver sat at the controls, and
+the car jerked into motion. Ebor,
+looking up, noticed for the first time
+that the dome wasn’t there any more.
+The main dome, housing the staff and
+equipment of the base, just wasn’t
+there.</p>
+
+<p>And the driver, he now saw, was
+aiming the car toward the nearby
+crater wall. Extending two of his
+eyes till they almost touched the
+face-plate of his helmet, he could see
+activity at the base of the crater wall,
+and what looked like an air-lock entrance.
+He wondered what had
+caused the change, which had obviously
+been done at top speed. The
+last time he’d been here, not very
+long ago, the dome had still been intact,
+and there had been no hint of
+any impending move underground.</p>
+
+<p>The driver steered the car into the
+open air lock, and they waited until
+the first cargo truck had lumbered in
+after them. Then the outer door
+closed, the pumps were turned on,
+and in a minute the red light flashed
+over the inner door. Ebor removed
+the spacesuit gratefully, left it in the
+car, and walked clumsily through the
+inner door into the new base.</p>
+
+<p>A good job had been done on it,
+for all the speed. Rooms and corridors
+has been melted out of the rock, the
+floors had been carpeted, the walls
+painted, and the ceiling lined with
+light panels. All of the furnishings
+had been transferred here from the
+original dome, and the result looked,
+on the whole, quite livable. As livable
+as the dome had been, at least.</p>
+
+<p>But the base commander, Darquelnoy,
+<a class="pagenum" id="page51" title="51"> </a>waiting for his old friend Ebor
+near the inner door of the lock,
+looked anything but happy with the
+arrangement. At Ebor’s entrance he
+raised a limp tentacle in weary greeting
+and said, “Come in, my friend,
+come in. Tell me the new jokes from
+home. I could use some cheering up.”</p>
+
+<p>“None worth telling,” said Ebor.
+He looked around. “What’s happened
+here?” he asked. “Why’ve you
+gone underground? Why do you
+need cheering up?”</p>
+
+<p>Darquelnoy clicked his eyes in despair.
+“Those <em>things</em>!” he cried.
+“Those annoying little creatures on
+that blasted planet up there!”</p>
+
+<p>Ebor repressed an amused ripple.
+He knew Darquelnoy well enough to
+know that the commander invariably
+overstated things. “What’ve they
+been up to, Dar?” he asked. “Come
+on, you can tell me over a hot cup of
+restno.”</p>
+
+<p>“I’ve been practically living on the
+stuff for the last two dren,” said Darquelnoy
+hopelessly. “Well, I suppose
+another cup won’t kill me. Come on to
+my quarters.”</p>
+
+<p>“I’ve worked up a fine thirst on the
+trip,” Ebor told him.</p>
+
+<hr class="thoughtbreak" />
+
+<p class="post_thoughtbreak">The two walked down the long
+corridor together and Ebor said,
+“Well? What happened?”</p>
+
+<p>“They came here,” Darquelnoy
+told him simply. At Ebor’s shocked
+look, he rippled in wan amusement
+and said, “Oh, it wasn’t as bad as it
+might have been, I suppose. It was
+just that we had to rush around so
+frantically, unloading and dismantling
+the dome, getting this place
+ready—”</p>
+
+<p>“What do you mean, they <em>came</em>
+here?” demanded Ebor.</p>
+
+<p>“They are absolutely the worst
+creatures for secrecy in the entire
+galaxy!” exclaimed Darquelnoy in irritation.
+“Absolutely the worst.”</p>
+
+<p>“Then you’ve picked up at least
+one of their habits,” Ebor told him.
+“Now stop talking in circles and tell
+me what happened.”</p>
+
+<p>“They built a spaceship, is the long
+and the short of it,” Darquelnoy answered.</p>
+
+<p>Ebor stopped in astonishment.
+“No!”</p>
+
+<p>“Don’t tell me no!” cried Darquelnoy.
+“I <em>saw</em> it!” He was obviously at
+his wit’s end.</p>
+
+<p>“It’s unbelievable,” said Ebor.</p>
+
+<p>“I know,” said Darquelnoy. He led
+the way into his quarters, motioned
+Ebor to a perch, and rang for his orderly.
+“It was just a little remote-controlled
+apparatus, of course,” he
+said. “The fledgling attempt, you
+know. But it circled this Moon here,
+busily taking pictures, and went right
+back to the planet again, giving us all
+a terrible fright. There hadn’t been
+the slightest indication they were
+planning anything <em>that</em> spectacular.”</p>
+
+<p>“None?” asked Ebor. “Not a
+hint?”</p>
+
+<p>“Oh, they’ve been boasting about
+doing some such thing for ages,”
+Darquelnoy told him. “But there was
+never any indication that they were
+finally serious about it. They have all
+sorts of military secrecy, of course,
+and so you never know a thing is
+<a class="pagenum" id="page52" title="52"> </a>going to happen until it does.”</p>
+
+<p>“Did they get a picture of the dome?”</p>
+
+<p>“Thankfully, no. And before they
+had a chance to try again, I whipped
+everything underground.”</p>
+
+<p>“It must have been hectic,” Ebor
+said sympathetically.</p>
+
+<p>“It was,” said Darquelnoy simply.</p>
+
+<p>The orderly entered. Darquelnoy
+told him, “Two restno,” and he left
+again.</p>
+
+<p>“I can’t imagine them making a
+spaceship,” said Ebor thoughtfully.
+“I would have thought they’d have
+blown themselves up long before
+reaching that stage.”</p>
+
+<p>“I would have thought so, too,” said
+Darquelnoy. “But there it is. At the
+moment, they’ve divided themselves
+into two camps—generally speaking,
+that is—and the two sides are trying
+like mad to outdo each other in everything.
+As a part of it, they’re shooting
+all sorts of rubbish into space and
+crowing every time a piece of the
+other side’s rubbish malfunctions.”</p>
+
+<p>“They could go on that way indefinitely,”
+said Ebor.</p>
+
+<p>“I know,” said Darquelnoy gloomily.
+“And here we sit.”</p>
+
+<p>Ebor nodded, studying his friend.
+“You don’t suppose this is all a waste
+of time, do you?” he asked, after a
+minute.</p>
+
+<p>Darquelnoy shook a tentacle in
+negation. “Not at all, not at all.
+They’ll get around to it, sooner or
+later. They’re still boasting themselves
+into the proper frame of mind,
+that’s all.”</p>
+
+<p>Ebor rippled in sympathetic
+<a class="pagenum" id="page53" title="53"> </a>amusement. “I imagine you sometimes
+wish you could give them a little
+prodding in the right direction,”
+he said.</p>
+
+<p>Darquelnoy fluttered his tentacles
+in horror, crying, “Don’t even <em>think</em>
+of such a thing!”</p>
+
+<p>“I know, I know,” said Ebor hastily.
+“The laws—”</p>
+
+<p>“Never mind the laws,” snapped
+Darquelnoy. “I’m not even thinking
+about the laws. Frankly, if it would
+do any good, I might even consider
+breaking one or two of the laws, and
+the devil with my conditioning.”</p>
+
+<p>“You <em>are</em> upset,” said Ebor at that.</p>
+
+<p>“But if we were to interfere with
+those creatures up there,” continued
+Darquelnoy, “interfere with them in
+any way at all, it would be absolutely
+disastrous.”</p>
+
+<p>The orderly returned at that point,
+with two steaming cups of restno.
+Darquelnoy and Ebor accepted the
+cups and the orderly left, making a
+sloppy tentacle-cross salute, which
+the two ignored.</p>
+
+<hr class="thoughtbreak" />
+
+<p class="post_thoughtbreak">“I wasn’t talking necessarily about
+attacking them, you know,” said Ebor,
+returning to the subject.</p>
+
+<p>“Neither was I,” Darquelnoy told
+him. “We wouldn’t have to attack
+them. All we would have to do is let
+them know we’re here. Not even <em>why</em>
+we’re here, just the simple fact of our
+presence. That would be enough.
+<em>They</em> would attack <em>us</em>.”</p>
+
+<p>Ebor extended his eyes in surprise.
+“As vicious as all that?”</p>
+
+<p>“Chilling,” Darquelnoy told him.
+“Absolutely chilling.”</p>
+
+<p><a class="pagenum" id="page54" title="54"> </a>“Then I’m surprised they haven’t
+blown themselves to pieces long before
+this.”</p>
+
+<p>“Oh, well,” said Darquelnoy, “you
+see, they’re cowards, too. They have
+to boast and brag and shout a while
+before they finally get to clawing
+and biting at one another.”</p>
+
+<p>Ebor waved a tentacle. “Don’t make
+it so vivid.”</p>
+
+<p>“Sorry,” apologized Darquelnoy.
+He drained his cup of restno. “Out
+here,” he said, “living next door to the
+little beasts day after day, one begins
+to lose one’s sensibilities.”</p>
+
+<p>“It has been a long time,” agreed
+Ebor.</p>
+
+<p>“Longer than we had originally
+anticipated,” Darquelnoy said frankly.
+“We’ve been ready to move in for
+I don’t know how long. And instead
+we just sit here and wait. Which
+isn’t good for morale, either.”</p>
+
+<p>“No, I don’t imagine it is.”</p>
+
+<p>“There’s already a theory among
+some of the workmen that the blow-up
+just isn’t going to happen, ever.
+And since that ship went circling by,
+of course, morale has hit a new low.”</p>
+
+<p>“It would have been nasty if they’d
+spotted you,” said Ebor.</p>
+
+<p>“Nasty?” echoed Darquelnoy. “Catastrophic,
+you mean. All that crowd
+up there needs is an enemy, and it
+doesn’t much matter to them who
+that enemy is. If they were to suspect
+that we were here, they’d forget their
+own little squabbles at once and start
+killing us instead. And that, of course,
+would mean that they’d be united, for
+the first time in their history, and
+who knows how long it would take
+them before they’d get back to killing
+one another again.”</p>
+
+<p>“Well,” said Ebor, “you’re underground
+now. And it can’t possibly
+take them <em>too</em> much longer.”</p>
+
+<p>“One wouldn’t think so,” agreed
+Darquelnoy. “In a way,” he added,
+“that spaceship was a hopeful sign.
+It means that they’ll be sending a
+manned ship along pretty soon, and
+that should do the trick. As soon as
+one side has a base on the Moon, the
+other side is bound to get things
+started.”</p>
+
+<p>“A relief for you, eh?” said Ebor.</p>
+
+<p>“You know,” said Darquelnoy
+thoughtfully, “I can’t help thinking I
+was born in the wrong age. All this
+scrabbling around, searching everywhere
+for suitable planets. Back when
+the Universe was younger, there were
+lots and lots of planets to colonize.
+Now the old problem of half-life is
+taking its toll, and we can’t even hope
+to keep up with the birth rate any
+more. If it weren’t for the occasional
+planets like that one up there, I don’t
+know what we’d do.”</p>
+
+<p>“Don’t worry,” Ebor told him.
+“They’ll have their atomic war pretty
+soon, and leave us a nice high-radiation
+planet to colonize.”</p>
+
+<p>“I certainly hope it’s soon,” said
+Darquelnoy. “This waiting gets on
+one’s nerves.” He rang for the orderly.</p>

+Foundation as set forth in Section 3 below.
+
+1.F.
+
+1.F.1.  Project Gutenberg volunteers and employees expend considerable
+effort to identify, do copyright research on, transcribe and proofread
+public domain works in creating the Project Gutenberg-tm
+collection.  Despite these efforts, Project Gutenberg-tm 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 codes that damage or cannot be read by
+your equipment.
+
+1.F.2.  LIMITED WARRANTY, DISCLAIMER OF DAMAGES - Except for the "Right
+of Replacement or Refund" described in paragraph 1.F.3, the Project
+Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation, the owner of the Project
+Gutenberg-tm trademark, and any other party distributing a Project
+Gutenberg-tm electronic work under this agreement, disclaim all
+liability to you for damages, costs and expenses, including legal
+fees.  YOU AGREE THAT YOU HAVE NO REMEDIES FOR NEGLIGENCE, STRICT
+LIABILITY, BREACH OF WARRANTY OR BREACH OF CONTRACT EXCEPT THOSE
+PROVIDED IN PARAGRAPH F3.  YOU AGREE THAT THE FOUNDATION, THE
+TRADEMARK OWNER, AND ANY DISTRIBUTOR UNDER THIS AGREEMENT WILL NOT BE
+LIABLE TO YOU FOR ACTUAL, DIRECT, INDIRECT, CONSEQUENTIAL, PUNITIVE OR
+INCIDENTAL DAMAGES EVEN IF YOU GIVE NOTICE OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH
+DAMAGE.
+
+1.F.3.  LIMITED RIGHT OF REPLACEMENT OR REFUND - If you discover a
+defect in this electronic work within 90 days of receiving it, you can
+receive a refund of the money (if any) you paid for it by sending a
+written explanation to the person you received the work from.  If you
+received the work on a physical medium, you must return the medium with
+your written explanation.  The person or entity that provided you with
+the defective work may elect to provide a replacement copy in lieu of a
+refund.  If you received the work electronically, the person or entity
+providing it to you may choose to give you a second opportunity to
+receive the work electronically in lieu of a refund.  If the second copy
+is also defective, you may demand a refund in writing without further
+opportunities to fix the problem.
+
+1.F.4.  Except for the limited right of replacement or refund set forth
+in paragraph 1.F.3, this work is provided to you 'AS-IS' WITH NO OTHER
+WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO

+
+1.F.5.  Some states do not allow disclaimers of certain implied
+warranties or the exclusion or limitation of certain types of damages.
+If any disclaimer or limitation set forth in this agreement violates the
+law of the state applicable to this agreement, the agreement shall be
+interpreted to make the maximum disclaimer or limitation permitted by
+the applicable state law.  The invalidity or unenforceability of any
+provision of this agreement shall not void the remaining provisions.
+
+1.F.6.  INDEMNITY - You agree to indemnify and hold the Foundation, the
+trademark owner, any agent or employee of the Foundation, anyone
+providing copies of Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works in accordance
+with this agreement, and any volunteers associated with the production,
+promotion and distribution of Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works,
+harmless from all liability, costs and expenses, including legal fees,
+that arise directly or indirectly from any of the following which you do
+or cause to occur: (a) distribution of this or any Project Gutenberg-tm
+work, (b) alteration, modification, or additions or deletions to any
+Project Gutenberg-tm work, and (c) any Defect you cause.
+
+
+Section  2.  Information about the Mission of Project Gutenberg-tm
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm 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-tm's
+goals and ensuring that the Project Gutenberg-tm 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-tm 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 web page at https://www.pglaf.org.
+
+
+Section 3.  Information about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive
+Foundation
+
+The Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation is a non profit
+501(c)(3) educational corporation organized under the laws of the
+state of Mississippi and granted tax exempt status by the Internal
+Revenue Service.  The Foundation's EIN or federal tax identification
+number is 64-6221541.  Its 501(c)(3) letter is posted at
+https://pglaf.org/fundraising.  Contributions to the Project Gutenberg
+Literary Archive Foundation are tax deductible to the full extent
+permitted by U.S. federal laws and your state's laws.
+
+The Foundation's principal office is located at 4557 Melan Dr. S.
+Fairbanks, AK, 99712., but its volunteers and employees are scattered
+throughout numerous locations.  Its business office is located at
+809 North 1500 West, Salt Lake City, UT 84116, (801) 596-1887, email
+business@pglaf.org.  Email contact links and up to date contact
+information can be found at the Foundation's web site and official
+page at https://pglaf.org
+
+For additional contact information:
+     Dr. Gregory B. Newby
+     Chief Executive and Director
+     gbnewby@pglaf.org
+
+
+Section 4.  Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg
+Literary Archive Foundation
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm depends upon and cannot survive without wide
+spread public support and donations to carry out its mission of
+increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be
+freely distributed in machine readable form accessible by the widest
+array of equipment including outdated equipment.  Many small donations
+($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt
+status with the IRS.
+
+The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating
+charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United
+States.  Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a
+considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up
+with these requirements.  We do not solicit donations in locations
+where we have not received written confirmation of compliance.  To
+SEND DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any
+particular state visit https://pglaf.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 including checks, online payments and credit card
+donations.  To donate, please visit: https://pglaf.org/donate
+
+
+Section 5.  General Information About Project Gutenberg-tm electronic
+works.
+
+Professor Michael S. Hart was the originator of the Project Gutenberg-tm
+concept of a library of electronic works that could be freely shared
+with anyone.  For thirty years, he produced and distributed Project
+Gutenberg-tm eBooks with only a loose network of volunteer support.
+
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks are often created from several printed
+editions, all of which are confirmed as Public Domain 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 Web site which has the main PG search facility:
+
+     https://www.gutenberg.org
+
+This Web site includes information about Project Gutenberg-tm,
+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.

+    _Why should people hate vultures? After all, a vulture never
+    kills anyone..._
+
+
+The launch carrying the mail, supplies and replacements eased slowly
+in toward the base, keeping the bulk of the Moon between itself and
+Earth. Captain Ebor, seated at the controls, guided the ship to the
+rocky uneven ground with the easy carelessness of long practice, then
+cut the drive, got to his walking tentacles, and stretched. Donning
+his spacesuit, he left the ship to go over to the dome and meet
+Darquelnoy, the base commander.
+
+An open ground-car was waiting for him beside the ship. The driver,
+encased in his spacesuit, crossed tentacles in a sloppy salute, and
+Ebor returned the gesture quite as sloppily. Here on the periphery,
+cast formalities were all but dispensed with.
+
+Ebor stood for a moment and watched the unloading. The cargo crew,
+used to working in spacesuits, had one truck already half full. The
+replacements, unused to spacesuits and, in addition, awed and a bit
+startled by the bleakness of this satellite, were moving awkwardly
+down the ramp.
+
+Satisfied that the unloading was proceeding smoothly, Ebor climbed
+aboard the ground-car, awkward in his suit, and settled back heavily
+in the seat to try to get used to gravity again. The gravity of this
+Moon was slight, of course--barely one-sixth the gravity of the Home
+World or most of the colonies--but it still took getting used to,
+after a long trip in free-fall.
+
+The driver sat at the controls, and the car jerked into motion. Ebor,
+looking up, noticed for the first time that the dome wasn't there any
+more. The main dome, housing the staff and equipment of the base, just
+wasn't there.
+
+And the driver, he now saw, was aiming the car toward the nearby
+crater wall. Extending two of his eyes till they almost touched the
+face-plate of his helmet, he could see activity at the base of the
+crater wall, and what looked like an air-lock entrance. He wondered
+what had caused the change, which had obviously been done at top
+speed. The last time he'd been here, not very long ago, the dome had
+still been intact, and there had been no hint of any impending move
+underground.
+
+The driver steered the car into the open air lock, and they waited
+until the first cargo truck had lumbered in after them. Then the outer
+door closed, the pumps were turned on, and in a minute the red light
+flashed over the inner door. Ebor removed the spacesuit gratefully,
+left it in the car, and walked clumsily through the inner door into
+the new base.
+
+A good job had been done on it, for all the speed. Rooms and corridors
+has been melted out of the rock, the floors had been carpeted, the
+walls painted, and the ceiling lined with light panels. All of the
+furnishings had been transferred here from the original dome, and the
+result looked, on the whole, quite livable. As livable as the dome had
+been, at least.
+
+But the base commander, Darquelnoy, waiting for his old friend Ebor
+near the inner door of the lock, looked anything but happy with the
+arrangement. At Ebor's entrance he raised a limp tentacle in weary
+greeting and said, "Come in, my friend, come in. Tell me the new jokes
+from home. I could use some cheering up."
+
+"None worth telling," said Ebor. He looked around. "What's happened
+here?" he asked. "Why've you gone underground? Why do you need
+cheering up?"
+
+Darquelnoy clicked his eyes in despair. "Those _things_!" he cried.
+"Those annoying little creatures on that blasted planet up there!"
+
+Ebor repressed an amused ripple. He knew Darquelnoy well enough to
+know that the commander invariably overstated things. "What've they
+been up to, Dar?" he asked. "Come on, you can tell me over a hot cup
+of restno."
+
+"I've been practically living on the stuff for the last two dren,"
+said Darquelnoy hopelessly. "Well, I suppose another cup won't kill
+me. Come on to my quarters."
+
+"I've worked up a fine thirst on the trip," Ebor told him.
+
+       *       *       *       *       *
+
+The two walked down the long corridor together and Ebor said, "Well?
+What happened?"
+
+"They came here," Darquelnoy told him simply. At Ebor's shocked look,
+he rippled in wan amusement and said, "Oh, it wasn't as bad as it
+might have been, I suppose. It was just that we had to rush around so
+frantically, unloading and dismantling the dome, getting this place
+ready--"
+
+"What do you mean, they _came_ here?" demanded Ebor.
+
+"They are absolutely the worst creatures for secrecy in the entire
+galaxy!" exclaimed Darquelnoy in irritation. "Absolutely the worst."
+
+"Then you've picked up at least one of their habits," Ebor told him.
+"Now stop talking in circles and tell me what happened."
+
+"They built a spaceship, is the long and the short of it," Darquelnoy
+answered.
+
+Ebor stopped in astonishment. "No!"
+
+"Don't tell me no!" cried Darquelnoy. "I _saw_ it!" He was obviously
+at his wit's end.
+
+"It's unbelievable," said Ebor.
+
+"I know," said Darquelnoy. He led the way into his quarters, motioned
+Ebor to a perch, and rang for his orderly. "It was just a little
+remote-controlled apparatus, of course," he said. "The fledgling
+attempt, you know. But it circled this Moon here, busily taking
+pictures, and went right back to the planet again, giving us all a
+terrible fright. There hadn't been the slightest indication they were
+planning anything _that_ spectacular."
+
+"None?" asked Ebor. "Not a hint?"
+
+"Oh, they've been boasting about doing some such thing for ages,"
+Darquelnoy told him. "But there was never any indication that they
+were finally serious about it. They have all sorts of military
+secrecy, of course, and so you never know a thing is going to happen
+until it does."
+
+"Did they get a picture of the dome?"
+
+"Thankfully, no. And before they had a chance to try again, I whipped
+everything underground."
+
+"It must have been hectic," Ebor said sympathetically.
+
+"It was," said Darquelnoy simply.
+
+The orderly entered. Darquelnoy told him, "Two restno," and he left
+again.
+
+"I can't imagine them making a spaceship," said Ebor thoughtfully. "I
+would have thought they'd have blown themselves up long before
+reaching that stage."
+
+"I would have thought so, too," said Darquelnoy. "But there it is. At
+the moment, they've divided themselves into two camps--generally
+speaking, that is--and the two sides are trying like mad to outdo each
+other in everything. As a part of it, they're shooting all sorts of
+rubbish into space and crowing every time a piece of the other side's
+rubbish malfunctions."
+
+"They could go on that way indefinitely," said Ebor.
+
+"I know," said Darquelnoy gloomily. "And here we sit."
+
+Ebor nodded, studying his friend. "You don't suppose this is all a
+waste of time, do you?" he asked, after a minute.
+
+Darquelnoy shook a tentacle in negation. "Not at all, not at all.
+They'll get around to it, sooner or later. They're still boasting
+themselves into the proper frame of mind, that's all."
+
+Ebor rippled in sympathetic amusement. "I imagine you sometimes wish
+you could give them a little prodding in the right direction," he
+said.
+
+Darquelnoy fluttered his tentacles in horror, crying, "Don't even
+_think_ of such a thing!"
+
+"I know, I know," said Ebor hastily. "The laws--"
+
+"Never mind the laws," snapped Darquelnoy. "I'm not even thinking
+about the laws. Frankly, if it would do any good, I might even
+consider breaking one or two of the laws, and the devil with my
+conditioning."
+
+"You _are_ upset," said Ebor at that.
+
+"But if we were to interfere with those creatures up there," continued
+Darquelnoy, "interfere with them in any way at all, it would be
+absolutely disastrous."
+
+The orderly returned at that point, with two steaming cups of restno.
+Darquelnoy and Ebor accepted the cups and the orderly left, making a
+sloppy tentacle-cross salute, which the two ignored.
+
+       *       *       *       *       *
+
+"I wasn't talking necessarily about attacking them, you know," said
+Ebor, returning to the subject.
+
+"Neither was I," Darquelnoy told him. "We wouldn't have to attack
+them. All we would have to do is let them know we're here. Not even
+_why_ we're here, just the simple fact of our presence. That would be
+enough. _They_ would attack _us_."
+
+Ebor extended his eyes in surprise. "As vicious as all that?"
+
+"Chilling," Darquelnoy told him. "Absolutely chilling."
+
+"Then I'm surprised they haven't blown themselves to pieces long
+before this."
+
+"Oh, well," said Darquelnoy, "you see, they're cowards, too. They have
+to boast and brag and shout a while before they finally get to clawing
+and biting at one another."
+
+Ebor waved a tentacle. "Don't make it so vivid."
+
+"Sorry," apologized Darquelnoy. He drained his cup of restno. "Out
+here," he said, "living next door to the little beasts day after day,
+one begins to lose one's sensibilities."
+
+"It has been a long time," agreed Ebor.
+
+"Longer than we had originally anticipated," Darquelnoy said frankly.
+"We've been ready to move in for I don't know how long. And instead we
+just sit here and wait. Which isn't good for morale, either."
+
+"No, I don't imagine it is."
+
+"There's already a theory among some of the workmen that the blow-up
+just isn't going to happen, ever. And since that ship went circling
+by, of course, morale has hit a new low."
+
+"It would have been nasty if they'd spotted you," said Ebor.
+
+"Nasty?" echoed Darquelnoy. "Catastrophic, you mean. All that crowd up
+there needs is an enemy, and it doesn't much matter to them who that
+enemy is. If they were to suspect that we were here, they'd forget
+their own little squabbles at once and start killing us instead. And
+that, of course, would mean that they'd be united, for the first time
+in their history, and who knows how long it would take them before
+they'd get back to killing one another again."
+
+"Well," said Ebor, "you're underground now. And it can't possibly take
+them _too_ much longer."
+
+"One wouldn't think so," agreed Darquelnoy. "In a way," he added,
+"that spaceship was a hopeful sign. It means that they'll be sending a
+manned ship along pretty soon, and that should do the trick. As soon
+as one side has a base on the Moon, the other side is bound to get
+things started."
+
+"A relief for you, eh?" said Ebor.
+
+"You know," said Darquelnoy thoughtfully, "I can't help thinking I was
+born in the wrong age. All this scrabbling around, searching
+everywhere for suitable planets. Back when the Universe was younger,
+there were lots and lots of planets to colonize. Now the old problem
+of half-life is taking its toll, and we can't even hope to keep up
+with the birth rate any more. If it weren't for the occasional planets
+like that one up there, I don't know what we'd do."
+
+"Don't worry," Ebor told him. "They'll have their atomic war pretty
+soon, and leave us a nice high-radiation planet to colonize."
+
+"I certainly hope it's soon," said Darquelnoy. "This waiting gets on
+one's nerves." He rang for the orderly.

+1.F.1.  Project Gutenberg volunteers and employees expend considerable
+effort to identify, do copyright research on, transcribe and proofread
+public domain works in creating the Project Gutenberg-tm
+collection.  Despite these efforts, Project Gutenberg-tm 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 codes that damage or cannot be read by
+your equipment.

+work, (b) alteration, modification, or additions or deletions to any
+Project Gutenberg-tm work, and (c) any Defect you cause.
+
+
+Section  2.  Information about the Mission of Project Gutenberg-tm
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm 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-tm's
+goals and ensuring that the Project Gutenberg-tm 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-tm 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 web page at https://www.pglaf.org.
+
+
+Section 3.  Information about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive
+Foundation
+
+The Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation is a non profit
+501(c)(3) educational corporation organized under the laws of the
+state of Mississippi and granted tax exempt status by the Internal
+Revenue Service.  The Foundation's EIN or federal tax identification
+number is 64-6221541.  Its 501(c)(3) letter is posted at
+https://pglaf.org/fundraising.  Contributions to the Project Gutenberg
+Literary Archive Foundation are tax deductible to the full extent
+permitted by U.S. federal laws and your state's laws.
+
+The Foundation's principal office is located at 4557 Melan Dr. S.
+Fairbanks, AK, 99712., but its volunteers and employees are scattered
+throughout numerous locations.  Its business office is located at
+809 North 1500 West, Salt Lake City, UT 84116, (801) 596-1887, email
+business@pglaf.org.  Email contact links and up to date contact

+
+
+Section 4.  Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg
+Literary Archive Foundation
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm depends upon and cannot survive without wide
+spread public support and donations to carry out its mission of
+increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be
+freely distributed in machine readable form accessible by the widest
+array of equipment including outdated equipment.  Many small donations
+($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt
+status with the IRS.
+
+The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating
+charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United
+States.  Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a
+considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up
+with these requirements.  We do not solicit donations in locations
+where we have not received written confirmation of compliance.  To
+SEND DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any
+particular state visit https://pglaf.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 including checks, online payments and credit card
+donations.  To donate, please visit: https://pglaf.org/donate
+
+
+Section 5.  General Information About Project Gutenberg-tm electronic
+works.
+
+Professor Michael S. Hart was the originator of the Project Gutenberg-tm
+concept of a library of electronic works that could be freely shared
+with anyone.  For thirty years, he produced and distributed Project
+Gutenberg-tm eBooks with only a loose network of volunteer support.
+
+
+Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks are often created from several printed
+editions, all of which are confirmed as Public Domain 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 Web site which has the main PG search facility:
