-                           By Tom W. Harris
-
-               It was Bailey's first trip into space and
-            things began to happen that made him wonder if
-            luck alone would bring him back to Earth alive!

-
-... _A hand moved_ ...
-
-Young Bailey fell. It was a terrible sensation, falling. Bailey was not
-sure how long he had been falling. There was no one near him. They had
-been scattered like seeds from a burst pod when the meteor hulled the
-ship. Bailey was falling through the dark alone; he had been falling
-endlessly.
-
-... _Those with him now were all palefaced with fear_ ...
-
-The voice of Krotzer was still in the headphones: "... closing in on
-me, I can't describe them, you've got to get here...." Krotzer had
-meant so much for so long; now his voice was less than nothing. Bailey
-was falling like a stone; the sensation drove everything else out of
-him. Bailey could not stand it any longer, and began to scream.
-
-It shattered his visor and icy space rushed in. There was light and
-his captain was looking at him. Captain DiCredico was shaking him.
-
-Bailey's face was dripping. He grabbed the skipper. "I'm falling! Hold
-me!"
-
-... _Thousands of eyes bulged, hands twitched_ ...
-
-DiCredico squeezed a plastic bottle, squirting water into his face.
-Drops spattered and drifted off slowly through the air. Bailey blinked
-and stared. He was aboard the Ranger. Safe. Then panic came gibbering
-back at him as his body told him unmistakably he was falling.
-
-"You're not!" snapped DiCredico. "No gravity, remember? Spin ship!" he
-ordered over his shoulder.
-
-Gently, Bailey's body felt the reassuring tug as centrifugal force
-duplicated a light gravity and the alarm bells in his nerves and
-glands stopped ringing. The hull of the ship became "down," and men
-walked instead of floating--walked on the walls and ceiling, too, like
-wheel-spokes radiating from the axis of spin.
-
-"Over it?" asked DiCredico.
-
-"I guess so. I'm sorry."
-
-"Happens to all of us. Human body is made with a built-in, full-scale
-emergency response to falling--and lack of gravity is what triggers
-it. When you're awake you can consciously control it. I'm going to have
-to quit spinning ship now--can't take bearings, and this slant-standing
-can be worse than no gravity."
-
-The substitute gravity faded and Bailey's body tried to panic again,
-but he reined it in firmly. He went forward to watch television. It was
-the same canned show he'd seen ten times already. And the canned radio
-show was one he hadn't liked in the first place. The Service did its
-best to make a ship a synthetic, miniature Earth--but it couldn't. Ten
-months already--maybe a year more. Plenty of people blew their stacks.
-A wonder they all didn't. Would he?
-
-Like black, bad blood, a pulse of fear in Bailey's mind.
-
-... _and in those others that were his_ ...
-
-It was time for his stint on radar. Benning handed him the headset
-gratefully. "Krotzer's still sending," he said. "Awful to listen to.
-Whatever they are, they're doing something to his bubble. He thinks
-they may be in soon. I hope to Christ we get there."
-
-"What do you think they are, anyway?"
-
-"Beats me," Benning answered. "Looks like you'll see some grade-A
-monsters your first time out, you lucky boy." An unconvincing smile
-crossed his face, which like all their faces was dead white from months
-of being away from anything like sunlight. "A lot of lousy things can
-happen in space. I hope we get less than our share of them."
-
-       *       *       *       *       *
-
-Bailey snugged the headset over his ears. The voice of Krotzer was
-weaker. Bailey pictured him crouched in his bubble, his radar broken
-and only fit for sending, wondering if any lonely ship at all was
-hearing him, and if it was, if it would arrive in time. Krotzer had a
-wife, and a child he had never seen.
-
-Now he was talking about the things outside the bubble. "I never saw
-anything like them. In fact, I can't see them. Can't exactly. You can
-see them with your feelings, somehow--hooded sort--and beginning to
-come through...."
-
-He broke off, started again. "This is Captain Krotzer of the _Galileo_.
-We have crashed on Katherine Two, satellite of Saturn, continental
-area. Something has killed five of us. Chan Lee and I are living in the
-bubble. Cannot receive you on disabled radar. Besieged."
-
-He stopped. The headphones were silent except for the uncanny
-snickering static of deep space. They sometimes called it "laughter."
-It was not good for the nerves. It was as though space itself were
-cackling at them, thought Bailey. Get off that. Think about something
-else.
-
-He remembered Krotzer well, an expert on extra-terrestrial life, a
-man with a face mingling sensitivity and courage. He had lectured
-once at Prelim. Bailey remembered some of it. Almost imperceptible,
-living crystals that swarmed in the air of one planet. They got into
-your system, converted your matter, and you suddenly crumbled into a
-heap of the same kind of crystals. And the unknown life of the planet
-Caliban, called the Shunned Planet because of some influence that
-reached out and sucked ships down by doing something to the minds of
-the men. And the singing smoke droves. And the dissolvers. And others.
-
-... _A shudder in the mind of Bailey and the other same minds_ ...
-
-Krotzer was beginning again: "This is Captain Krotzer of the ..." when
-there was a blinding white flash and the ship rang like a great bell
-slammed with a sledge-hammer. A spurt of white-hot blasted into the
-compartment and Benning, who had been near the bulkhead, cartwheeled
-with hands to his seared face.
-
-A wild horse of fright leaped inside Bailey and he wanted to tear off
-the headset. Above the alarm bell DiCredico was yelling. "Pinhead
-meteor. No danger. Jones, Alvarez, help Benning. Bulkhead will seal
-itself, men, it's only a pinhead meteor."
-
-Bailey's ears rang. A tiny, immensely fast meteor had hit, been
-vaporized, the coagulant between the inner and outer shells had sealed
-the hole. His spine itched. Did the little one mean they were near a
-swarm where they might catch a big one?
-
-His answer was a modulated mechanical keening from the proximity
-teller, up forward.
-
-He glanced at DiCredico for the don-space-suits order, but the captain
-was floating forward fast and wordlessly. To control himself Bailey
-gave his attention to the radar. All he heard was the insinuating
-laughter.
-
-The teller was howling like a hound in hell. DiCredico emerged from the
-forward compartment, his short bulk ungraceful in the air. "Don suits!"
-he ordered. "We're in a swarm!"
-
-Matt wrenched off the headset and launched himself toward his suit
-rack. He scrambled into his suit, dogged down the helmet, and sound and
-fire burst through the ship.
-
-He was lifted and slammed against a bulkhead. Black fire belched behind
-his eyes. He had a flashing vision of the backyard of his folks' home
-in Pittsburg, and a dark curtain fell over it.
-
-... _Everywhere they had a vision of their home in Pittsburg. A black
-curtain fell over it_ ...
-
-When he opened his eyes he saw he was alone among a crew of death.
-They hung in their spacesuits against the bulkheads like limp grey
-bats while the ship tore on through space. Two had failed to get their
-helmets on. Their faces were bruised plums, mottled. Inside their
-bloated chests, the lungs would be pink froth, literally having
-exploded with the instant drop in air pressure. A third man's suit had
-ruptured up the front, the raggedy edges flayed back like skin. The man
-was swollen like one long drowned.
-
-There was no air. It had rushed through the barrel-sized hole in the
-hull. There was only one hole--the meteor had burst on impact and not
-passed clear through. Chunks of stone, ribbons of blood, scraps of
-metal hung quiet or floated above the deck.
-
-Matt had never told anyone how he felt about space. It was a freezing,
-heart-killing loneliness that waited icily, and now it had come in
-through the hull and was with him. His jaw clenched. He had no idea
-whether he could carry on alone, but he was going to.
-
-Then one of the grey bats stirred, drew up its legs, and launched
-itself off the bulkhead. The others began to move. A laugh rolled in
-Bailey's throat. Like him, they had only been stunned.
-
-They froze the encapsulated dead and patched the hole as best they
-could and found a clock still running and re-set their instruments,
-and each man had a souvenir piece of meteor stone, and less than two
-weeks after this was done the boredom dropped over them again as though
-excitement had never been.
-
-The tension about their mission to Krotzer, tighter from hour to hour
-only made it worse. They began to hate each other's mannerisms, the
-way a person scratched an ear or cleared a throat. It's getting you,
-Bailey, Matt told himself. This way men go nuts.
-
-... _Go nuts, echoed the minds that were him without knowing. Go
-nuts ... go nuts ... go nuts_ ...
-
-       *       *       *       *       *
-
-It was after chow that he did it. He walked over and turned off the
-television. All kinds of emotions stood on the faces of the others.
-Rage was the one on the face of a hulking man named Regan.
-
-"It was right at the best place!" growled the big spaceman. "Turn it
-on!"
-
-Matt placed himself directly before the screen. "Turn it on yourself!"
-he baited, with a twisted smile he meant to be lightly humorous.
-
-Regan shoved from the wall and floated slowly toward him.
-
-"There's a reason for watching this stuff," one of the crewmen put in,
-"I tell you we've got to watch it! Turn it back on, son."
-
-Matt laughed. "What a stinker. The Space Service! Glamour! Commentators
-and books and slogans and kids and girls all talk about it like a hero
-carnival but it stinks, it's a bunch of guys going nuts on the other
-side of nowhere and--"
-
-Regan hit him. He flew backward, seeing stars, rolling in the air.
-DiCredico's voice gonged from the captain's cabin.
-
-"Knock it off! Regan, turn the set on, get back to the entertainment.
-Bailey, want to see you in here."
-
-It all went out of Bailey and he felt foolish and frightened. He swung
-into the cabin and floated at attention.
-
-... _They were all a recruit, frightened before DiCredico_ ...
-
-It took DiCredico ten minutes to get through his talk with Bailey,
-speaking in tough, slicing sentences. The service was no bed of roses,
-said the skipper, and nobody in the service had ever claimed it was.
-It was a damned mean racket and nobody asked you to get into it. You
-volunteered. And you didn't have to stay. Before each voyage you could
-ask for honorable discharge, or earth duty if available. But once you
-blasted off, you had to stand the gaff. You had to.
-
-There were men who cracked. There were whole crews. If one man lost
-control, another might, and finally all of them. Nobody knew how many
-flights were lost through "mental hazard." There were shrewd guesses.
-
-Bailey could make the Ranger another missing ship. And they weren't on
-freight nor patrol--they were on a rescue mission. He should think
-about that.
-
-You had to learn to use the television and the other corny
-"entertainment"--let it soak you up, take you away for awhile.
-
-He could have Bailey put under dormisol, so he'd sleep through the rest
-of the trip. But he was needed. But he could request it, and DiCredico
-would do it.
-
-Bailey did not request it. He went back and shook hands with Regan,
-who was very decent about it all, and sat down to learn to use the
-television.
-
-Things were a little better after that.
-
-... _And they relaxed a little, the many that were one_ ...
-
-Krotzer's reports kept coming in, and they were nearing the unknown
-satellite. Everyone felt a little numble-witted because the meteor
-patch was leaking and pressure was low. DiCredico kept a tight routine
-and they leaned into it for support.
-
-Finally a little red globe appeared on the viewer, and they were
-approaching Katherine Two.
-
-They followed Krotzer's bearings and they saw his ship and near it the
-bubble. Nobody responded when they fired flares.
-
-The Ranger touched down. DiCredico took Bailey, Regan, and the medic
-Fry out with him. Conditions were similar to earth, and they wore no
-space suits.
-
-They swished through red waist-high growths like spongy fern.
-
-"There's his ship," said Fry. "It doesn't look in bad shape."
-
-"Can't tell," said DiCredico. "Funny things happen."
-
-They reached the ship and paused by it. It appeared unharmed. A body
-lay near it, burned in two.
-
-Matt turned to the skipper. "It looks like--like a heater did it. Do
-you suppose these things have something like that?"
-
-"Funny things happen," said DiCredico. "Anyway, he's dead. Let's get on
-to Krotzer."
-
-They saw that Krotzer had half-opaqued his bubble. They would have to
-come in close enough to see and be seen through it for him to know they
-were there. Nobody saw any indication of life or motion outside it.
-
-"We'll give it a wide circle," said DiCredico. "See if there's any
-visible danger."
-
-It took twenty minutes to make the circle. Nobody saw anything.
-
-"Something's damned queer," said Regan.
-
-"Something's always queer," said DiCredico. "Now, here's the plan.
-Get your suits on. From Krotzer's reports, whatever is after him is
-stopped or impeded by material substance. Then we go in one at a time.
-I go first. If nothing happens to me, Regan comes in. If he makes it,
-Bailey. Then Fry. If anything goes wrong, I want the man with next turn
-to try the other side of the bubble. Except you, Fry. If you're the
-only one left, get back to the ship. You'll have to make a report, and
-you and the men can decide the next step. Dig?"
-
-They nodded. DiCredico sauntered off through the spongy feathers. He
-reached the bubble, looked in, waved on Regan. Regan reached it, peered
-into it, turned and waved to Bailey, an odd expression on his face.
-
-       *       *       *       *       *
-
-Bailey started across the red field. Aloneness, menace, strangeness
-settled on him as he walked. Maybe you got used to these feelings.
-Maybe you got over them. Maybe they got you. Or maybe something else
-got you. So this was the service.
-
-He was at the bubble. Fry and DiCredico were looking at him so
-strangely ... partly expectant, appraising, ironic--indefinable. Matt
-turned to wave Fry on, then went up and peered into the bubble.
-
-Then he knew what had happened to Captain Krotzer.
-
-The captain sat with his shirt undone and dirty, his eyes fixed
-glassily to a place on the dome some twenty feet from where Bailey
-stood. Unkempt beard was on his face. A blaster lay on the table. The
-bodies of his crew lay about him.
-
-Krotzer held the radar mike, his lips moving monotonously.
-
-It must have smelled terrible in there.
-
-Space was the monster that had got Krotzer and the crew of the Galileo,
-moving in on them with icy probings until one of them had cracked.
-
-Bailey felt a hand on his shoulder. Fry had arrived. The medic gazed
-into the dome. They went over and sat near DiCredico.
-
-"We may as well go in and get him," said their skipper. "Try to be easy
-on him."
-
-Matt Bailey felt something breaking inside his chest. Maybe it would
-grow back, maybe it wouldn't.
-
-... _They felt something breaking inside his chest in all the rooms in
-Minnesota and Bloomsbury and Hong Kong, and then there was a separation
-and they were no longer Bailey but themselves, watching a thin man
-stand up beside a desk._
-
-_"I am Wilson Bonner of World Tele," he said. "You have just witnessed
-the world's first kinevision broadcast, and you may have your brains
-back. Practically everybody on earth tonight was Matt Bailey--although
-there is really no Matt Bailey at all._
-
-_"Perhaps you expected something more pleasant from your first
-kinevision, and your government owes you an explanation. You are aware
-of the progress of space flight research. We have achieved planetary
-escape. There is wild optimism. The space ministry has been swamped,
-clogged, with space-ship volunteers._
-
-_"It was time for realism._
-
-_"Matt Bailey was a synthetic personality. We invented him. We fed
-personality factors into a calculator, and we also fed into the
-calculator some highly informed guesses about just a few of the
-conditions likely to be encountered in space flight._
-
-_"We used the calculator to project the neural reactions of the
-synthetic person, Bailey, under the assumed conditions._
-
-_"Through kinevision, these sensations were reproduced in you._
-
-_"I need not labor the point. Space flight will be no Sunday outing.
-You deserve to know that--to know it with your feelings as well as
-your brains. And especially you young men should know it--you who are
-thinking about joining the volunteers. Frankly, we hope some of you
-will not volunteer. For though there is no Matt Bailey, there will be,
-someday, soon."_

-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 information page at

-Section 4. Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg
-Literary Archive Foundation
-
-Project Gutenberg-tm depends upon and cannot survive without
-widespread 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 www.gutenberg.org/donate
-
-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 checks, online payments and credit card donations. To
-donate, please visit: www.gutenberg.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 forty 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 not protected by copyright 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 website which has the main PG search
-facility: www.gutenberg.org
-
-This website 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.
