From it a frantic voice - reached Commander Gray--"You know what to do!" - He smiled grimly. Yes, he knew what to do.... - - [Transcriber's Note: This etext was produced from - Planet Stories Winter 1946. - Extensive research did not uncover any evidence that - the U.S. copyright on this publication was renewed.] - - -The Fifth Sector Commander was known as a rigid man, that was true, and -yet no one could say exactly how rigid. - -His office, aboard the _Polaris_, was a rather grim place. All command -offices were, essentially, being limited pretty much to regulation -furnishings, but rare was the Commander who did not manage to plant -some of his personality there. It was perhaps characteristic of -Commander Gray that there was only one item in his office which could -be said to reveal anything about him. - -He sat now behind the cubical steel desk and looked down at the glowing -screen of the television set. The face in it was not at ease. Far from -it. - -Ordinarily, John Brullar, the Commissioner over Gray, was a -self-important, unconsciously comical person. Now he looked neither -comical nor important. He just looked very, very frightened. - -He licked his trembling lips and said, in a voice hoarse with fear, -"Of _course_ there is something you can do, Commander! After all," -he brightened faintly, "there are important people on the _Stella_. -Important people." He emphasized "important." - -"I am aware of that, Commissioner Brullar," said the Commander. "Yet, -what can I do?" - -"You have authority!" sputtered Brullar. "And you know what you can -_do_! Get through to Interstellar Command on Sirius VII and tell them -just exactly what these Beolins are up to!" He glared, a fat man in -mortal fear for his life. "And you can do it quickly, Commander! -Quickly, do you understand?" - -"I understand," the Commander said. - -"Good." Brullar started to speak again, gulped, hesitated, and finally -repeated, "Good." He switched off. - -The Commander gazed reflectively down the catwalk, through the ship, -at the faint glimmer of green outside of an open lock. There was a -turbulence deep in his steel-colored eyes. He tapped a small stud with -a slim, tapering forefinger. - -Kina Staun came in. - -Kina wasn't all Solarian. He had enough Sol blood in him to make him -one in almost every respect, but there were differences, if you looked -closely. He was the Commander's personal aide. There was actually -more than that between them. The tremendousness of all the Commander -governed--and which Kina helped him run--made for a rather involved -relationship. - -When people saw the Commander, they looked for Kina Staun. The two -had not been a hundred yards apart since they had first met as -newly-appointed official and aide. It was said that Kina knew every -bit as much about the Fifth Sector and the Commander's work as the -Commander knew himself. - -For that reason, if Kina ever left his post, he would certainly die -within an hour. - - * * * * * - -The Commander said, "Kina, call Hauns." The Secretary showed no -surprise, but somehow managed to give that impression. - -"The city of Hauns, capitol of Beolin III, the ruling planet of the -Beolin system?" he asked very respectfully. - -"Yes. I want to talk to their Commissioner-in-Chief. And also find the -present location of the _Stella_." - -"Yes, sir," said Kina. - -He came back within ten seconds. "The _Stella_," he said, "is now at -3rd Quadrant 3521 NA, W-88236. Speed, one light-year per hour. Heading, -338 Degrees NA of nearest sun, Beolin. And I have Beolin Command for -you." - -The Commander touched a switch and the screen flicked on again. "Thank -you, Kina," he said. - -The face in the screen was definitely not human. Its structure, and -even more, its expression was alien. It was distinctly unpleasant. - -It belonged to Krraula, who was Commander-in-Chief, and the foremost -murderer of the Beolin System. He smiled, a smile that was not a smile. -He said, "Ah, Commander." And he saluted, sneering slightly. - -The Commander said, "Greetings, Krraula. I would like to inquire the -reason for your fleet being in its present position." - -Krraula smiled again. "The fleet, Commander? Merely maneuvers," he said -slyly. "Why do you ask?" - -"There is a liner transiting through the outer fringes of your -territory in--" he looked at a paper Kina had slipped before him -"--about four hours. I would appreciate it if your fleet is withdrawn -in time. It would not go well, Krraula, if an ... accident ... were to -happen to this liner of which I speak. I think you understand." - -He gave Krraula no time to answer, but switched off. He sat back, and -looked aimlessly at Kina. - -"Kina," he said, after a few moments of thought. - -"Yes, Commander." - -"Do you get the framework of this problem?" - -"I do, sir," answered the aide. - -"Good. Let me hear it." - -"The question is one of Command," said Kina Staun quietly. "Out here in -the stars, power--the authority to command--goes not to men's heads but -to their souls. Krraula of Beolin is an example, and, in a different -way--" - -"Myself?" - -"No, Commander Brullar. He is the brass-hat type, while Krraula is -simply a tyrannical madman." - -"So far, you're right. But what of _this_ particular problem?" - -"Yes, sir," the aide said. "Krraula, and the Beolin rulers, have power -in and about their system to the extent that their depredations go -unchallenged there. And an apathetic Interstellar Command--" - -"Does not act," finished the Commander. "You are entirely correct, -Kina." He touched studs on the desk and reports slid through the viewer -on the wall. He said quietly, "We have lost a score of ships--ships -that we are sure the Beolins could tell us about. And yet the Command -does not act." He looked reflectively at the slim, impassive man, and -then spoke swiftly. - -"Kina, I want you to get me two more connections ... Sirius VII, and -the Command Cruiser nearest to Beolin. Hurry! The cruiser first." - - * * * * * - -A minute or so later, Kina slipped a sheet of paper onto the desk, and -touched a switch. The screen glittered into life, showing the face of -a man who wore a captain's shoulder bars. Glancing at the paper, which -gave the name of the officer and the ship, the Commander said, "Captain -Stang, how far are you from Beolin?" - -"Roughly twenty light years, sir," was the immediate answer. - -"Do you think that you can make a speed of--say--five light-years per -hour, or perhaps more?" - -The captain frowned slightly. "I'm not sure, Commander. Perhaps we can." - -"Good! Stand by, at your present position in space." Gray switched off. - -Kina spoke softly at his side. "That one cruiser, Commander, is more -than a match for the entire Beolin fleet." He paused. "Here is your -call to Sirius Headquarters, sir." - -[Illustration: "That one cruiser, Commander, is more than a match for -the entire Beolin fleet."] - -The Commander turned back to the screen. "Over-Commissioner Branu, are -you aware of the present stage of relations with Beolin?" - -The Over-Commissioner frowned at him. "Certainly! Why are you asking, -Commander?" There was an imperious sharpness in his voice. - -"What are they?" - -Branu hesitated, said, "Relations are somewhat strained at present, of -course, but not seriously. I--" - -"Suppose proof was given that Beolin was back of the recent -disappearances of spacecraft?" - -"My dear Commander Gray! You--you must not say that! Such an intimation -might _easily_ cost you your post! Why--" - -The Commissioner cut him off. - -"You see, Commander," said Kina, "the Command simply cannot think of -such a thing." - -"Yes ... but they could be made--forced--to think of it." - -"There is only one way to do _that_," said Kina. "Only one way." - -"Yes." Commander Gray fell silent for a minute, and then said quietly, -"Kina." - -"I am listening, sir." - -"The hands of one man," said the Commander, "were never meant to hold -personal power such as this. We can do only the best we can ... and it -will never be perfect. We must be prepared to--" he hesitated slightly -before going on "--to set aside all personal things, and substitute the -stars for them. Because only in that way can we approach perfection." - -Kina was silent and attentive, but his eyes flickered for a second -across the one personal item in the office. - -"I am not a god, Kina. And yet I must be. Because there are men--such -as Krraula--who think they are." He fell silent. - -Then he said, "A god _must_ have power of life ... and death." - -The screen was on again and, once more, it was Commissioner Brullar. He -was almost frantic. - -"Commander Gray! Have you acted yet? The captain says that we are being -screened out. Only this special set can get through--and only to you!" -He gulped, mopping at his forehead. "Commander, I have my entire family -aboard this ship! I--I know that you...." His voice faltered for an -instant. "Can't _you_ get through to the Command?" - -Then, nervously, without waiting for a reply, he plunged on. "The -Captain of the _Stella_ says he believes there is an Interstellar -Command cruiser within four hours or so. Can't you get it here? It -could escort us through the edge of the Beolin system in safety! -Commander Gray, I in--" - -The Commander cut Brullar off. - -"Kina," he asked, "what do you think the effect of a Beolin massacre -would be on the Command?" - -"Roughly estimating, Commander, considerably more than the effect of an -unleashed power beam on inert matter." - -"Yes," said the Commander. "Yes. Kina, at least ten thousand human -lives have been lost on ships that I _know_ have been captured by the -Beolins. Unless the Command takes action--now--there will never be a -check on Krraula and his successors. And only a shocking catastrophe -would stir up the Sirius Command Headquarter. A certain kind of -catastrophe." - -"The sacrifice justifies itself," said Kina Staun. "The moral laws, the -very framework of civilization itself, is now of a shape incredible to -the person of two or three hundred years ago." - -"My orders, then, should be...?" - -Kina stood up, stiffly. "It would be presumptuous of me, Commander." - -The silence did not last very long. - -At last the Commander said, "Kina, order Captain Stang to resume -his usual patrol activities. Arrange to follow the _Stella_ with a -long-range recording beam. Prepare for the Interstellar Command's -order ... to proceed with a punitive expedition against the Beolin -system." He looked long down the catwalk, and his fingers slowly closed -about the one personal touch to his office. - -His voice was very low. "No more messages are to be received from the -_Stella_." - -And he opened his hand. - - * * * * * - -Later, after the Commander had gone down the catwalk to walk about for -a while on the soft, Earthlike greenness of this world's vegetation, -Kina bent to pick up that which had fallen to the floor. - -It was a color photograph, and the cold plastic sheen of the film -somehow managed to convey the impression of the blonde, young woman's -soft, warm loveliness. - -It was inscribed, "_With all my love, John. Myra._" Kina had often seen -Commissioner Brullar's daughter. - -He dropped the photograph in to a disposal chute, and turned to some -papers that had to be filed. - -*** END OF THE PROJECT GUTENBERG EBOOK EXAMPLE *** - -***** This file should be named 63782-0.txt or 63782-0.zip ***** -This and all associated files of various formats will be found in: - http://www.gutenberg.org/6/3/7/8/63782/ - -Updated editions will replace the previous one--the old editions will -be renamed. - -Creating the works from print editions not protected by U.S. copyright -law means that no one owns a United States copyright in these works, -so the Foundation (and you!) can copy and distribute it in the United -States without permission and without paying copyright -royalties.

From it a frantic voice<br /> -reached Commander Gray—"You know what to do!"<br /> -He smiled grimly. Yes, he knew what to do....</p> - -<p>[Transcriber's Note: This etext was produced from<br /> -Planet Stories Winter 1946.<br /> -Extensive research did not uncover any evidence that<br /> -the U.S. copyright on this publication was renewed.]</p> - -</div> - -<hr class="chap" /> - -<p>The Fifth Sector Commander was known as a rigid man, that was true, and -yet no one could say exactly how rigid.</p> - -<p>His office, aboard the <i>Polaris</i>, was a rather grim place. All command -offices were, essentially, being limited pretty much to regulation -furnishings, but rare was the Commander who did not manage to plant -some of his personality there. It was perhaps characteristic of -Commander Gray that there was only one item in his office which could -be said to reveal anything about him.</p> - -<p>He sat now behind the cubical steel desk and looked down at the glowing -screen of the television set. The face in it was not at ease. Far from -it.</p> - -<p>Ordinarily, John Brullar, the Commissioner over Gray, was a -self-important, unconsciously comical person. Now he looked neither -comical nor important. He just looked very, very frightened.</p> - -<p>He licked his trembling lips and said, in a voice hoarse with fear, -"Of <i>course</i> there is something you can do, Commander! After all," -he brightened faintly, "there are important people on the <i>Stella</i>. -Important people." He emphasized "important."</p> - -<p>"I am aware of that, Commissioner Brullar," said the Commander. "Yet, -what can I do?"</p> - -<p>"You have authority!" sputtered Brullar. "And you know what you can -<i>do</i>! Get through to Interstellar Command on Sirius VII and tell them -just exactly what these Beolins are up to!" He glared, a fat man in -mortal fear for his life. "And you can do it quickly, Commander! -Quickly, do you understand?"</p> - -<p>"I understand," the Commander said.</p> - -<p>"Good." Brullar started to speak again, gulped, hesitated, and finally -repeated, "Good." He switched off.</p> - -<p>The Commander gazed reflectively down the catwalk, through the ship, -at the faint glimmer of green outside of an open lock. There was a -turbulence deep in his steel-colored eyes. He tapped a small stud with -a slim, tapering forefinger.</p> - -<p>Kina Staun came in.</p> - -<p>Kina wasn't all Solarian. He had enough Sol blood in him to make him -one in almost every respect, but there were differences, if you looked -closely. He was the Commander's personal aide. There was actually -more than that between them. The tremendousness of all the Commander -governed—and which Kina helped him run—made for a rather involved -relationship.</p> - -<p>When people saw the Commander, they looked for Kina Staun. The two -had not been a hundred yards apart since they had first met as -newly-appointed official and aide. It was said that Kina knew every -bit as much about the Fifth Sector and the Commander's work as the -Commander knew himself.</p> - -<p>For that reason, if Kina ever left his post, he would certainly die -within an hour.</p> - -<hr class="tb" /> - -<p>The Commander said, "Kina, call Hauns." The Secretary showed no -surprise, but somehow managed to give that impression.</p> - -<p>"The city of Hauns, capitol of Beolin III, the ruling planet of the -Beolin system?" he asked very respectfully.</p> - -<p>"Yes. I want to talk to their Commissioner-in-Chief. And also find the -present location of the <i>Stella</i>."</p> - -<p>"Yes, sir," said Kina.</p> - -<p>He came back within ten seconds. "The <i>Stella</i>," he said, "is now at -3rd Quadrant 3521 NA, W-88236. Speed, one light-year per hour. Heading, -338 Degrees NA of nearest sun, Beolin. And I have Beolin Command for -you."</p> - -<p>The Commander touched a switch and the screen flicked on again. "Thank -you, Kina," he said.</p> - -<p>The face in the screen was definitely not human. Its structure, and -even more, its expression was alien. It was distinctly unpleasant.</p> - -<p>It belonged to Krraula, who was Commander-in-Chief, and the foremost -murderer of the Beolin System. He smiled, a smile that was not a smile. -He said, "Ah, Commander." And he saluted, sneering slightly.</p> - -<p>The Commander said, "Greetings, Krraula. I would like to inquire the -reason for your fleet being in its present position."</p> - -<p>Krraula smiled again. "The fleet, Commander? Merely maneuvers," he said -slyly. "Why do you ask?"</p> - -<p>"There is a liner transiting through the outer fringes of your -territory in—" he looked at a paper Kina had slipped before him -"—about four hours. I would appreciate it if your fleet is withdrawn -in time. It would not go well, Krraula, if an ... accident ... were to -happen to this liner of which I speak. I think you understand."</p> - -<p>He gave Krraula no time to answer, but switched off. He sat back, and -looked aimlessly at Kina.</p> - -<p>"Kina," he said, after a few moments of thought.</p> - -<p>"Yes, Commander."</p> - -<p>"Do you get the framework of this problem?"</p> - -<p>"I do, sir," answered the aide.</p> - -<p>"Good. Let me hear it."</p> - -<p>"The question is one of Command," said Kina Staun quietly. "Out here in -the stars, power—the authority to command—goes not to men's heads but -to their souls. Krraula of Beolin is an example, and, in a different -way—"</p> - -<p>"Myself?"</p> - -<p>"No, Commander Brullar. He is the brass-hat type, while Krraula is -simply a tyrannical madman."</p> - -<p>"So far, you're right. But what of <i>this</i> particular problem?"</p> - -<p>"Yes, sir," the aide said. "Krraula, and the Beolin rulers, have power -in and about their system to the extent that their depredations go -unchallenged there. And an apathetic Interstellar Command—"</p> - -<p>"Does not act," finished the Commander. "You are entirely correct, -Kina." He touched studs on the desk and reports slid through the viewer -on the wall. He said quietly, "We have lost a score of ships—ships -that we are sure the Beolins could tell us about. And yet the Command -does not act." He looked reflectively at the slim, impassive man, and -then spoke swiftly.</p> - -<p>"Kina, I want you to get me two more connections ... Sirius VII, and -the Command Cruiser nearest to Beolin. Hurry! The cruiser first."</p> - -<hr class="tb" /> - -<p>A minute or so later, Kina slipped a sheet of paper onto the desk, and -touched a switch. The screen glittered into life, showing the face of -a man who wore a captain's shoulder bars. Glancing at the paper, which -gave the name of the officer and the ship, the Commander said, "Captain -Stang, how far are you from Beolin?"</p> - -<p>"Roughly twenty light years, sir," was the immediate answer.</p> - -<p>"Do you think that you can make a speed of—say—five light-years per -hour, or perhaps more?"</p> - -<p>The captain frowned slightly. "I'm not sure, Commander. Perhaps we can."</p> - -<p>"Good! Stand by, at your present position in space." Gray switched off.</p> - -<p>Kina spoke softly at his side. "That one cruiser, Commander, is more -than a match for the entire Beolin fleet." He paused. "Here is your -call to Sirius Headquarters, sir."</p> - -<hr class="chap" /> - -<div class="figcenter"> - <img src="images/illus.jpg" alt=""/> - <div class="caption"> - <p>"<i>That one cruiser, Commander, is more than a match for the entire Beolin fleet.</i>"</p> - </div> -</div> - -<hr class="chap" /> - -<p>The Commander turned back to the screen. "Over-Commissioner Branu, are -you aware of the present stage of relations with Beolin?"</p> - -<p>The Over-Commissioner frowned at him. "Certainly! Why are you asking, -Commander?" There was an imperious sharpness in his voice.</p> - -<p>"What are they?"</p> - -<p>Branu hesitated, said, "Relations are somewhat strained at present, of -course, but not seriously. I—"</p> - -<p>"Suppose proof was given that Beolin was back of the recent -disappearances of spacecraft?"</p> - -<p>"My dear Commander Gray! You—you must not say that! Such an intimation -might <i>easily</i> cost you your post! Why—"</p> - -<p>The Commissioner cut him off.</p> - -<p>"You see, Commander," said Kina, "the Command simply cannot think of -such a thing."</p> - -<p>"Yes ... but they could be made—forced—to think of it."</p> - -<p>"There is only one way to do <i>that</i>," said Kina. "Only one way."</p> - -<p>"Yes." Commander Gray fell silent for a minute, and then said quietly, -"Kina."</p> - -<p>"I am listening, sir."</p> - -<p>"The hands of one man," said the Commander, "were never meant to hold -personal power such as this. We can do only the best we can ... and it -will never be perfect. We must be prepared to—" he hesitated slightly -before going on "—to set aside all personal things, and substitute the -stars for them. Because only in that way can we approach perfection."</p> - -<p>Kina was silent and attentive, but his eyes flickered for a second -across the one personal item in the office.</p> - -<p>"I am not a god, Kina. And yet I must be. Because there are men—such -as Krraula—who think they are." He fell silent.</p> - -<p>Then he said, "A god <i>must</i> have power of life ... and death."</p> - -<p>The screen was on again and, once more, it was Commissioner Brullar. He -was almost frantic.</p> - -<p>"Commander Gray! Have you acted yet? The captain says that we are being -screened out. Only this special set can get through—and only to you!" -He gulped, mopping at his forehead. "Commander, I have my entire family -aboard this ship! I—I know that you...." His voice faltered for an -instant. "Can't <i>you</i> get through to the Command?"</p> - -<p>Then, nervously, without waiting for a reply, he plunged on. "The -Captain of the <i>Stella</i> says he believes there is an Interstellar -Command cruiser within four hours or so. Can't you get it here? It -could escort us through the edge of the Beolin system in safety! -Commander Gray, I in—"</p> - -<p>The Commander cut Brullar off.</p> - -<p>"Kina," he asked, "what do you think the effect of a Beolin massacre -would be on the Command?"</p> - -<p>"Roughly estimating, Commander, considerably more than the effect of an -unleashed power beam on inert matter."</p> - -<p>"Yes," said the Commander. "Yes. Kina, at least ten thousand human -lives have been lost on ships that I <i>know</i> have been captured by the -Beolins. Unless the Command takes action—now—there will never be a -check on Krraula and his successors. And only a shocking catastrophe -would stir up the Sirius Command Headquarter. A certain kind of -catastrophe."</p> - -<p>"The sacrifice justifies itself," said Kina Staun. "The moral laws, the -very framework of civilization itself, is now of a shape incredible to -the person of two or three hundred years ago."</p> - -<p>"My orders, then, should be...?"</p> - -<p>Kina stood up, stiffly. "It would be presumptuous of me, Commander."</p> - -<p>The silence did not last very long.</p> - -<p>At last the Commander said, "Kina, order Captain Stang to resume -his usual patrol activities. Arrange to follow the <i>Stella</i> with a -long-range recording beam. Prepare for the Interstellar Command's -order ... to proceed with a punitive expedition against the Beolin -system." He looked long down the catwalk, and his fingers slowly closed -about the one personal touch to his office.</p> - -<p>His voice was very low. "No more messages are to be received from the -<i>Stella</i>."</p> - -<p>And he opened his hand.</p> - -<hr class="tb" /> - -<p>Later, after the Commander had gone down the catwalk to walk about for -a while on the soft, Earthlike greenness of this world's vegetation, -Kina bent to pick up that which had fallen to the floor.</p> - -<p>It was a color photograph, and the cold plastic sheen of the film -somehow managed to convey the impression of the blonde, young woman's -soft, warm loveliness.</p> - -<p>It was inscribed, "<i>With all my love, John. Myra.</i>" Kina had often seen -Commissioner Brullar's daughter.</p> - -<p>He dropped the photograph in to a disposal chute, and turned to some -papers that had to be filed.</p> - -<pre style='margin-top:6em'> -*** END OF THE PROJECT GUTENBERG EBOOK EXAMPLE *** - -This file should be named 63782-h.htm or 63782-h.zip - -This and all associated files of various formats will be found in: -http://www.gutenberg.org/6/3/7/8/63782/ - -Updated editions will replace the previous one--the old editions will -be renamed. - -Creating the works from print editions not protected by U.S. copyright -law means that no one owns a United States copyright in these works, -so the Foundation (and you!) can copy and distribute it in the United -States without permission and without paying copyright -royalties.
