Through the haze of -poison air that surrounded the planet, Cobber could see them wheel into -a semi-circle not more than thirty yards away from him and the airlock -that he held. - -Wilson's tank rumbled a few feet forward from the semi-circle. - -"You don't dare shoot, Cobber," he said quietly. "You're outnumbered -thirty to one." - -"Stand back! All of you!" Cobber shouted into the mike. "I'll blow up -the first one that moves!" - -"Don't be a fool, Cobber," Wilson said. "There's enough catalytic rock -stored in the ship for all of us. I can make you a rich man. Put down -those guns and we'll forget what has happened. Put down those guns." - -"This ship is not going back to Earth," Cobber said. - -"Put down those guns, Cobber!" Wilson shouted. "You can't win!" - -Cobber turned the knob and shut off Wilson's loud voice. He then opened -one of the dinatro bombs that lay beside him, unscrewed the cap and -tossed it into the back of the car with the other neatly stacked-up -explosives. - -"Ten seconds!" he yelled. - -The men were stunned for a moment by the suddenness of his decision to -blow up the ship. They stood dumfounded, not knowing what to do, until -one of them screamed "Dinatro!" Panic-stricken, they dashed their tanks -for the meager protection of the nearby cliffs. - -Wilson's tank stood still, not moving. - -"You're bluffing, Cobber," he called out. "You want to scare the men -away so you can seize the ship and get back to Earth. All right, -Cobber, you win. Only you and I will share the cargo. I'm coming in." - -One second. - -Two. - -Three. - -"There's more than a cargo at stake," Cobber said. - -Four seconds. - -Five. - -Six. - -"Remember me, Kama!" Cobber said softly to himself. - -Seven. - -Eight.... - - * * * * * - -The silent bulbous mass that was the Great Kama extended an undulating -growing finger and pointed. When Cobber saw the charred bodies of the -Kamae he knew what it meant to have one's people ravaged and killed. -In that moment he forget the rosy glow of ammonia snow on the mountain -tops and the purple clouds that battled majestically over the planet. - -Here and there the anhydrous bodies of the Kamae lay stone still. The -small village, tucked away by the shores of the russet sea, was wiped -out. Many of the bodies were ripped apart, torn to shreds as if by some -monster from the depths of the methane sea. - -He had seen death before and he had seen brother kill brother on a -hundred different planets in as many solar systems. Each time its -horror and tragedy cut him deep. Cobber felt sick at heart. - -"I did not know ..." he began despairingly. - -His words were cut short by the overwhelming emotion of pain and hurt -anger that forced itself out of the organ-less body of the Great Kama, -through the poison atmosphere of the planet, through the walls of the -tank-car and into Cobber's consciousness. It was held back, its power -could overwhelm him, but Cobber could sense the enormity of the tragedy -that racked the bubbly form of his Kama friend. - -He looked through the window of his small car and watched his strange -comrade leave him, gliding like a living liquid over the knolls and -hills. Other men of Earth could feel only revulsion and disgust when -their eyes fell on one of the Kamae. But Cobber was not like other men. - -He had seen, in the years of his wanderings, enough of creation's -mysteries to realize that the surface manifestations and expression -of life were meaningless. Where men like Wilson would reach for a -gun to blast it, Cobber would reach out to it with understanding and -friendship. - -Be it a crystal that grew into pulsating life with every sun ray, or -the flesh and blood of Earth, or the singing strings of Orion--it did -not matter. Life alone made them brothers. It was this realization that -enabled him to be a friend to Kama. It was this knowledge that made him -feel the immensity of the tragic despair which engulfed his strange -other-world companion. - -Gingerly he adjusted the controls of the tank-car so that it would walk -carefully through the village. Years ago the crude spacesuits with -which planetary explorers were encumbered were found to be too clumsy -and dangerous for use. In their place were developed the tank-cars. - -They were miniature houses on wheels and legs, faintly reminiscent of -ancient battle-tanks, equipped for travel on sand, rock, hill, water -and a thousand other fields. Tentacles, mechanical arms and legs were -finally developed, making the tank-cars a thousand times superior to -clumsy, inefficient spacesuits. - -The metallic legs of the car, immune to the gaseous atmosphere, -carefully stepped over the bodies. On the hilltop, through the mist -that clouded the vision plates of the car, he could see the other -villages being destroyed, as this one was. - -Cobber shuddered. The planet of Kama was like death itself without the -ghastly war that had descended upon it. - -Seeing the crimson thunderhead clouds rear high into the stratosphere -and knowing the approach of another storm, he hastened the speed of his -car towards the huge mother-ship. - - * * * * * - -In an hour's time he found it, half buried among the great ammonia -snow drifts. He folded the legs of his car, let it descend into a -riding position and, metallic treads rumbling, rode into the airlock -that opened to meet him. As it rolled in, the wall in back descended, -imprisoning the car. - -He waited patiently as the poison air was extracted from the lock. When -the indicators registered the absence of carbon disulphide vapor he -opened the top of his car and crawled out. The door leading into the -airlock opened. Jina's face greeted him as Cobber walked through. - -"Welcome home, Cobber!" he said. "We were beginning to worry about you." - -Cobber tapped his feet experimentally on the floor of the ship. "It -feels good to stretch out again after fourteen days in the tank. Air -would have run low soon." - -As was the ship's rule, Jina replaced the empty food drawers, stored up -the fuel tanks, replenished the air supply and turned to the stacks of -dinatro bombs in the back of the car. - -"Shall I clear these out?" Jina asked. - -"No. Let them stay," Cobber said. Before he could leave the dressing -room the other officers and members of the crew came into the room. - -"What did you hear?" they asked. Anxiety was written over their faces. -Evidently they had already seen the effects of war. They waited, intent -upon him. - -"The peace is ended among the Kamae," he told them. - -"Is it nation against nation?" - -"No. They have not developed as far as that. Isolated tribes have -attacked others, wiping them out. One by one the advanced cities that -have schools and teachers are being laid low by wandering bands. I saw -some of the ruins--" - -He broke off and, as if seeing them again in his mind, said, "Old and -young. Burnt out bodies buried in snow drifts. No prisoners. Savage -war." - -"Barbarians!" Jina said. - -"Teachers of barbarians!" Cobber said, looking at the men under his -command. "They were shown how they might pillage one another in order -to bring catalytic to us for trade. Who else would teach them? - -"I left explicit orders," he said angrily, walking back and forth -among them, "to give only machinery and gas-proof metals in exchange -for their catalytics. I said there was to be no interference with the -private life of the Kamae. Why was I disobeyed?" he demanded. "Who told -you to change the trade agreements that I had prepared?" - -When no answer came he looked at his assistant officer. - -"You, Jina. Who handled the trade accounts with the Kamae?" - -"Wilson, sir." - -Cobber swore, brushed past his men and made his way to the private -quarters of Fogarth Wilson. Several of the men moved as if to stop him, -but none dared. In the event of a quarrel between the man who ran the -ship and the man who owned it, it was best to stay neutral. - - * * * * * - -Wilson was yawning lazily as Cobber walked in. - -"Hello, Cobber," he greeted casually. "I was afraid your Kamae friends -might have kept you. What did you find out?" - -Cobber's voice shook. "You broke the trade agreement!" - -Wilson looked up at him, and saw the anger in his eyes. He got up from -his bed and walked across the narrow room and stood next to the older -man. - -"Did you see the store room?" he demanded. "It's one third full. One -third full after two weeks of trade! We were here six months and got -only a quarter ton of catalytic for the power machines of Earth. In one -day I purchased more than you could buy in a month!" - -"But at what a price, you fool!" - -"Price? Yes! I sold oxygen!" Wilson laughed. "What did you offer them, -Cobber? Books and machinery! Books for a savage king and machinery for -fools! I gave them what they wanted--pure oxygen!" - -Cobber prayed for the strength of a man twenty years his junior. But -his weak and old hands would prove of little value against the youthful -strength of Wilson. - -"Oxygen! In an atmosphere of carbon disulphide and methane you sell -them tanks of oxygen!" - -"Yes." - -"You know what you sell the Kamae?" Cobber asked, gripping him by the -shoulders. "Death! A single spark--one rock striking another, a simple -stroke--and that oxygen becomes a bursting, fuming flame! In this -atmosphere it is worse than the most powerful dynamite. Whole villages -have been wiped out. Entire cities have been burned to the ground by -your oxygen. You showed them how to use it. You made flame-throwers. -You showed them how to kill one another to bring you more catalytics -for more weapons!" - -"Why not?" Wilson demanded. "I sell them what they want--weapons of -war. In selling it I've made enough to outfit a new ship and a new -captain." - -Cobber looked again at the man he hated. Unlike other sons of the rich -who hired ships and captains to squire them in their adventurous tours -of other planets, Wilson was not soft. A sensuous line about his lips -hid their cruelty. Years of breeding and care, without the knowledge of -poverty and the crushing weight of mature responsibility, had given him -a smooth powerful body and a quick agile mind that was more callous and -hard than the palms of old Cobber's hands. - -Wilson owned not only the ship, but Cobber's soul as well. There were -debts to be paid back at home. It was so with every man in the crew. -Each would suffer if Wilson failed to come back safe and sound. Cobber -knew this and Wilson knew it as well. Wilson was the master here--not -Cobber. - - * * * * * - -"I spoke with the Great Kama today," Cobber said, remembering his -friend. - -"Yes. And what did the Messy One have to say?" - -"The learned men of the villages, the educated ones, want revenge for -the breaking of our trading treaties. They will attack us. They will -break off all relations with Earthmen forever unless--" - -"Unless what?" - -"Unless I surrender you to them." - -There was the beginning of a smile on Wilson's lips. It stayed there -grimly as he watched indecision, hesitation and conflicting emotions -battle in Cobber's eyes. - -"You wouldn't dare!" he whispered softly. "In fact," he added, smiling -as the thought gave him reassurance, "in fact, you couldn't!" He tried -to smile again, but this time found little weakness in Cobber's eyes. - -"The whole future of Kama's contact with the Earth depends upon me -now," Cobber told him, stepping back a foot and then drawing his -ancient revolver from his hip pocket. - -Wilson looked at the gun calmly. "You're a fool, Cobber--a doddering -old fool!" he said. "If you had done your work as captain without -interfering with me I could have made you a rich man." - -As he talked he gestured with his hand. With a swift, sudden movement -he slapped the gun from Cobber's grip, grasped the old man by his neck -and turned quickly, flinging Cobber against the wall. There was a dull -thud as Cobber collapsed in a crumpled heap. - -Wilson switched on the call board. "Attention! All officers please -report to my quarters immediately. Wilson speaking. That is all." - -Turning it off he came back again to the slowly rising Cobber. - -"You're finished," he said. "Finished!" - -The men drifted in one by one. When all had assembled, facing Wilson -and Cobber, the younger man spoke. - -"In view of the critical situation now facing us and the imminence of -an attack by the savage Kamae, I have deemed it advisable to make some -changes in the commanding personnel of my ship. With due respect for -his splendid accomplishments in the past, I now relieve Cobber of his -duties as commanding captain of this ship. He will henceforth function -as second assistant navigator. Commanding Captain Jina, you will carry -on." - -Cobber ripped off the single star that emblazoned his sleeve and gave -it to Jina. He walked past the stunned officers and men, past them all, -into the corridor, down the steps and to the airlock. - - * * * * * - -The raging storm above had died. At times a lonely star peered through -crimson clouds and then, as if frightened at the sight, disappeared -from view. White flakes, so reminiscent of snow on Earth, settled -softly upon the planet. From time to time he would brush the windows of -his tankbox and peer out to watch for the approach of his friend. - -He saw him, a white globule-like mass, slithering over the rolling -hill and coming towards him. He raised one of the arms of the car in -recognition. Instantly a gray finger extended from the bulbous mass in -answer. - -The strange being was standing beside the tankbox that enclosed Cobber. -No message came from its brain as it waited for the thoughts to form in -Cobber's mind. - -_I am ashamed_, Cobber thought. - -There was no answer, but a wave of pained bewilderment flooded upon -him. Then the accusing words, _You failed_. - -_Yes, I failed_, Cobber said, the bitterness of complete defeat -rankling in his heart. _The man your people want for revenge is my -chief. I cannot deliver him. I cannot!_ - -_When Cobber first came to our planet_, the Great Kama's thoughts rang -in his head, _who welcomed him? Who crossed the barriers between our -different forms of life? Who told Cobber the tragic history of our -people? Who told him the secrets of our learned teachers?_ - -There was a long pause and then the Great Kama answered his own -questions. - -_I did these things, for I thought Cobber was my friend._ - -Cobber wanted to shout, "I am your friend, believe me!" but he knew -that the Great Kama could not look upon him as one single individual -apart from his men. He was a symbol, the embodiment of the best that -a different people could offer. If Cobber had failed him--Cobber, the -wisest--then friendship between the planets was doomed forever. - -_I gave friendship--and what has Cobber's answer been? Your people sold -weapons to the ignorant and brutal of my people. You taught them to -kill and burn. You aroused the greed and lust in us with the offer of -power. We reached for knowledge--and you pushed us back into the depths -of savagery. Are you my friend, Cobber?_ - -Cobber could not answer. Powerless, impotent, he could not fulfill the -demand for just revenge that Kama had asked. A thousand plans pursued -their way through his mind. A thousand solutions leapt up, offering -themselves. He could have killed Wilson and shown them the body. But it -would have meant death for all them in the courts of Earth. - -What was the alternative? In his mind he could see the story. The -spaceship would return home with a cargo full of catalytic and the -story of ignorant beings willing to mine the metal for tanks of oxygen. -Cheap, easy to manufacture oxygen in exchange for power! Other ships -would come and other men like Wilson, greedy men, powerful men, men -with lust in their hearts. - -Kama's people, scarcely on the first rung of civilization's ladder, -would be thrust back into the darkness. Tribal warfare, spurred on and -encouraged by Earthmen, would deplete the planet. A new culture, just -born, would die. Was this a fair price for the greed markets of Earth? - -_Are you my friend?_ He heard the thought again. - -Slowly he rode back to the spaceship. The storm was over. The crew of -the ship were clearing the ammonia drifts away in preparation for the -blasting. - -The airlock was open. Cobber rode to it and turned around, guns facing -his men. - -Six seconds. - -Seven. - -"I am your friend, Kama," Cobber said softly to himself. "Remember me!" - -Eight seconds. - -Nine. - -There was a blinding flash of light as jagged white flames reached into -a blood-red sky, tearing apart like a paper box the last ship commanded -by Cobber. - -From a hilltop in the distance Kama saw the flash and heard the rumble. -When it died down the evening silence fell again he knew what Cobber -had done. - -Other years would bring other ships from Earth. If in them were men -like Cobber, the barrier between different peoples might yet be crossed. - -*** END OF THE PROJECT GUTENBERG EBOOK REMEMBER ME, KAMA! *** - -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.

Through the haze of -poison air that surrounded the planet, Cobber could see them wheel into -a semi-circle not more than thirty yards away from him and the airlock -that he held.</p> - -<p>Wilson's tank rumbled a few feet forward from the semi-circle.</p> - -<p>"You don't dare shoot, Cobber," he said quietly. "You're outnumbered -thirty to one."</p> - -<p>"Stand back! All of you!" Cobber shouted into the mike. "I'll blow up -the first one that moves!"</p> - -<p>"Don't be a fool, Cobber," Wilson said. "There's enough catalytic rock -stored in the ship for all of us. I can make you a rich man. Put down -those guns and we'll forget what has happened. Put down those guns."</p> - -<p>"This ship is not going back to Earth," Cobber said.</p> - -<p>"Put down those guns, Cobber!" Wilson shouted. "You can't win!"</p> - -<p>Cobber turned the knob and shut off Wilson's loud voice. He then opened -one of the dinatro bombs that lay beside him, unscrewed the cap and -tossed it into the back of the car with the other neatly stacked-up -explosives.</p> - -<p>"Ten seconds!" he yelled.</p> - -<p>The men were stunned for a moment by the suddenness of his decision to -blow up the ship. They stood dumfounded, not knowing what to do, until -one of them screamed "Dinatro!" Panic-stricken, they dashed their tanks -for the meager protection of the nearby cliffs.</p> - -<p>Wilson's tank stood still, not moving.</p> - -<p>"You're bluffing, Cobber," he called out. "You want to scare the men -away so you can seize the ship and get back to Earth. All right, -Cobber, you win. Only you and I will share the cargo. I'm coming in."</p> - -<p>One second.</p> - -<p>Two.</p> - -<p>Three.</p> - -<p>"There's more than a cargo at stake," Cobber said.</p> - -<p>Four seconds.</p> - -<p>Five.</p> - -<p>Six.</p> - -<p>"Remember me, Kama!" Cobber said softly to himself.</p> - -<p>Seven.</p> - -<p>Eight....</p> - -<hr class="tb" /> - -<p>The silent bulbous mass that was the Great Kama extended an undulating -growing finger and pointed. When Cobber saw the charred bodies of the -Kamae he knew what it meant to have one's people ravaged and killed. -In that moment he forget the rosy glow of ammonia snow on the mountain -tops and the purple clouds that battled majestically over the planet.</p> - -<p>Here and there the anhydrous bodies of the Kamae lay stone still. The -small village, tucked away by the shores of the russet sea, was wiped -out. Many of the bodies were ripped apart, torn to shreds as if by some -monster from the depths of the methane sea.</p> - -<p>He had seen death before and he had seen brother kill brother on a -hundred different planets in as many solar systems. Each time its -horror and tragedy cut him deep. Cobber felt sick at heart.</p> - -<p>"I did not know ..." he began despairingly.</p> - -<p>His words were cut short by the overwhelming emotion of pain and hurt -anger that forced itself out of the organ-less body of the Great Kama, -through the poison atmosphere of the planet, through the walls of the -tank-car and into Cobber's consciousness. It was held back, its power -could overwhelm him, but Cobber could sense the enormity of the tragedy -that racked the bubbly form of his Kama friend.</p> - -<p>He looked through the window of his small car and watched his strange -comrade leave him, gliding like a living liquid over the knolls and -hills. Other men of Earth could feel only revulsion and disgust when -their eyes fell on one of the Kamae. But Cobber was not like other men.</p> - -<p>He had seen, in the years of his wanderings, enough of creation's -mysteries to realize that the surface manifestations and expression -of life were meaningless. Where men like Wilson would reach for a -gun to blast it, Cobber would reach out to it with understanding and -friendship.</p> - -<p>Be it a crystal that grew into pulsating life with every sun ray, or -the flesh and blood of Earth, or the singing strings of Orion—it did -not matter. Life alone made them brothers. It was this realization that -enabled him to be a friend to Kama. It was this knowledge that made him -feel the immensity of the tragic despair which engulfed his strange -other-world companion.</p> - -<p>Gingerly he adjusted the controls of the tank-car so that it would walk -carefully through the village. Years ago the crude spacesuits with -which planetary explorers were encumbered were found to be too clumsy -and dangerous for use. In their place were developed the tank-cars.</p> - -<p>They were miniature houses on wheels and legs, faintly reminiscent of -ancient battle-tanks, equipped for travel on sand, rock, hill, water -and a thousand other fields. Tentacles, mechanical arms and legs were -finally developed, making the tank-cars a thousand times superior to -clumsy, inefficient spacesuits.</p> - -<p>The metallic legs of the car, immune to the gaseous atmosphere, -carefully stepped over the bodies. On the hilltop, through the mist -that clouded the vision plates of the car, he could see the other -villages being destroyed, as this one was.</p> - -<p>Cobber shuddered. The planet of Kama was like death itself without the -ghastly war that had descended upon it.</p> - -<p>Seeing the crimson thunderhead clouds rear high into the stratosphere -and knowing the approach of another storm, he hastened the speed of his -car towards the huge mother-ship.</p> - -<hr class="tb" /> - -<p>In an hour's time he found it, half buried among the great ammonia -snow drifts. He folded the legs of his car, let it descend into a -riding position and, metallic treads rumbling, rode into the airlock -that opened to meet him. As it rolled in, the wall in back descended, -imprisoning the car.</p> - -<p>He waited patiently as the poison air was extracted from the lock. When -the indicators registered the absence of carbon disulphide vapor he -opened the top of his car and crawled out. The door leading into the -airlock opened. Jina's face greeted him as Cobber walked through.</p> - -<p>"Welcome home, Cobber!" he said. "We were beginning to worry about you."</p> - -<p>Cobber tapped his feet experimentally on the floor of the ship. "It -feels good to stretch out again after fourteen days in the tank. Air -would have run low soon."</p> - -<p>As was the ship's rule, Jina replaced the empty food drawers, stored up -the fuel tanks, replenished the air supply and turned to the stacks of -dinatro bombs in the back of the car.</p> - -<p>"Shall I clear these out?" Jina asked.</p> - -<p>"No. Let them stay," Cobber said. Before he could leave the dressing -room the other officers and members of the crew came into the room.</p> - -<p>"What did you hear?" they asked. Anxiety was written over their faces. -Evidently they had already seen the effects of war. They waited, intent -upon him.</p> - -<p>"The peace is ended among the Kamae," he told them.</p> - -<p>"Is it nation against nation?"</p> - -<p>"No. They have not developed as far as that. Isolated tribes have -attacked others, wiping them out. One by one the advanced cities that -have schools and teachers are being laid low by wandering bands. I saw -some of the ruins—"</p> - -<p>He broke off and, as if seeing them again in his mind, said, "Old and -young. Burnt out bodies buried in snow drifts. No prisoners. Savage -war."</p> - -<p>"Barbarians!" Jina said.</p> - -<p>"Teachers of barbarians!" Cobber said, looking at the men under his -command. "They were shown how they might pillage one another in order -to bring catalytic to us for trade. Who else would teach them?</p> - -<p>"I left explicit orders," he said angrily, walking back and forth -among them, "to give only machinery and gas-proof metals in exchange -for their catalytics. I said there was to be no interference with the -private life of the Kamae. Why was I disobeyed?" he demanded. "Who told -you to change the trade agreements that I had prepared?"</p> - -<p>When no answer came he looked at his assistant officer.</p> - -<p>"You, Jina. Who handled the trade accounts with the Kamae?"</p> - -<p>"Wilson, sir."</p> - -<p>Cobber swore, brushed past his men and made his way to the private -quarters of Fogarth Wilson. Several of the men moved as if to stop him, -but none dared. In the event of a quarrel between the man who ran the -ship and the man who owned it, it was best to stay neutral.</p> - -<hr class="tb" /> - -<p>Wilson was yawning lazily as Cobber walked in.</p> - -<p>"Hello, Cobber," he greeted casually. "I was afraid your Kamae friends -might have kept you. What did you find out?"</p> - -<p>Cobber's voice shook. "You broke the trade agreement!"</p> - -<p>Wilson looked up at him, and saw the anger in his eyes. He got up from -his bed and walked across the narrow room and stood next to the older -man.</p> - -<p>"Did you see the store room?" he demanded. "It's one third full. One -third full after two weeks of trade! We were here six months and got -only a quarter ton of catalytic for the power machines of Earth. In one -day I purchased more than you could buy in a month!"</p> - -<p>"But at what a price, you fool!"</p> - -<p>"Price? Yes! I sold oxygen!" Wilson laughed. "What did you offer them, -Cobber? Books and machinery! Books for a savage king and machinery for -fools! I gave them what they wanted—pure oxygen!"</p> - -<p>Cobber prayed for the strength of a man twenty years his junior. But -his weak and old hands would prove of little value against the youthful -strength of Wilson.</p> - -<p>"Oxygen! In an atmosphere of carbon disulphide and methane you sell -them tanks of oxygen!"</p> - -<p>"Yes."</p> - -<p>"You know what you sell the Kamae?" Cobber asked, gripping him by the -shoulders. "Death! A single spark—one rock striking another, a simple -stroke—and that oxygen becomes a bursting, fuming flame! In this -atmosphere it is worse than the most powerful dynamite. Whole villages -have been wiped out. Entire cities have been burned to the ground by -your oxygen. You showed them how to use it. You made flame-throwers. -You showed them how to kill one another to bring you more catalytics -for more weapons!"</p> - -<p>"Why not?" Wilson demanded. "I sell them what they want—weapons of -war. In selling it I've made enough to outfit a new ship and a new -captain."</p> - -<p>Cobber looked again at the man he hated. Unlike other sons of the rich -who hired ships and captains to squire them in their adventurous tours -of other planets, Wilson was not soft. A sensuous line about his lips -hid their cruelty. Years of breeding and care, without the knowledge of -poverty and the crushing weight of mature responsibility, had given him -a smooth powerful body and a quick agile mind that was more callous and -hard than the palms of old Cobber's hands.</p> - -<p>Wilson owned not only the ship, but Cobber's soul as well. There were -debts to be paid back at home. It was so with every man in the crew. -Each would suffer if Wilson failed to come back safe and sound. Cobber -knew this and Wilson knew it as well. Wilson was the master here—not -Cobber.</p> - -<hr class="tb" /> - -<p>"I spoke with the Great Kama today," Cobber said, remembering his -friend.</p> - -<p>"Yes. And what did the Messy One have to say?"</p> - -<p>"The learned men of the villages, the educated ones, want revenge for -the breaking of our trading treaties. They will attack us. They will -break off all relations with Earthmen forever unless—"</p> - -<p>"Unless what?"</p> - -<p>"Unless I surrender you to them."</p> - -<p>There was the beginning of a smile on Wilson's lips. It stayed there -grimly as he watched indecision, hesitation and conflicting emotions -battle in Cobber's eyes.</p> - -<p>"You wouldn't dare!" he whispered softly. "In fact," he added, smiling -as the thought gave him reassurance, "in fact, you couldn't!" He tried -to smile again, but this time found little weakness in Cobber's eyes.</p> - -<p>"The whole future of Kama's contact with the Earth depends upon me -now," Cobber told him, stepping back a foot and then drawing his -ancient revolver from his hip pocket.</p> - -<p>Wilson looked at the gun calmly. "You're a fool, Cobber—a doddering -old fool!" he said. "If you had done your work as captain without -interfering with me I could have made you a rich man."</p> - -<p>As he talked he gestured with his hand. With a swift, sudden movement -he slapped the gun from Cobber's grip, grasped the old man by his neck -and turned quickly, flinging Cobber against the wall. There was a dull -thud as Cobber collapsed in a crumpled heap.</p> - -<p>Wilson switched on the call board. "Attention! All officers please -report to my quarters immediately. Wilson speaking. That is all."</p> - -<p>Turning it off he came back again to the slowly rising Cobber.</p> - -<p>"You're finished," he said. "Finished!"</p> - -<p>The men drifted in one by one. When all had assembled, facing Wilson -and Cobber, the younger man spoke.</p> - -<p>"In view of the critical situation now facing us and the imminence of -an attack by the savage Kamae, I have deemed it advisable to make some -changes in the commanding personnel of my ship. With due respect for -his splendid accomplishments in the past, I now relieve Cobber of his -duties as commanding captain of this ship. He will henceforth function -as second assistant navigator. Commanding Captain Jina, you will carry -on."</p> - -<p>Cobber ripped off the single star that emblazoned his sleeve and gave -it to Jina. He walked past the stunned officers and men, past them all, -into the corridor, down the steps and to the airlock.</p> - -<hr class="tb" /> - -<p>The raging storm above had died. At times a lonely star peered through -crimson clouds and then, as if frightened at the sight, disappeared -from view. White flakes, so reminiscent of snow on Earth, settled -softly upon the planet. From time to time he would brush the windows of -his tankbox and peer out to watch for the approach of his friend.</p> - -<p>He saw him, a white globule-like mass, slithering over the rolling -hill and coming towards him. He raised one of the arms of the car in -recognition. Instantly a gray finger extended from the bulbous mass in -answer.</p> - -<p>The strange being was standing beside the tankbox that enclosed Cobber. -No message came from its brain as it waited for the thoughts to form in -Cobber's mind.</p> - -<p><i>I am ashamed</i>, Cobber thought.</p> - -<p>There was no answer, but a wave of pained bewilderment flooded upon -him. Then the accusing words, <i>You failed</i>.</p> - -<p><i>Yes, I failed</i>, Cobber said, the bitterness of complete defeat -rankling in his heart. <i>The man your people want for revenge is my -chief. I cannot deliver him. I cannot!</i></p> - -<p><i>When Cobber first came to our planet</i>, the Great Kama's thoughts rang -in his head, <i>who welcomed him? Who crossed the barriers between our -different forms of life? Who told Cobber the tragic history of our -people? Who told him the secrets of our learned teachers?</i></p> - -<p>There was a long pause and then the Great Kama answered his own -questions.</p> - -<p><i>I did these things, for I thought Cobber was my friend.</i></p> - -<p>Cobber wanted to shout, "I am your friend, believe me!" but he knew -that the Great Kama could not look upon him as one single individual -apart from his men. He was a symbol, the embodiment of the best that -a different people could offer. If Cobber had failed him—Cobber, the -wisest—then friendship between the planets was doomed forever.</p> - -<p><i>I gave friendship—and what has Cobber's answer been? Your people sold -weapons to the ignorant and brutal of my people. You taught them to -kill and burn. You aroused the greed and lust in us with the offer of -power. We reached for knowledge—and you pushed us back into the depths -of savagery. Are you my friend, Cobber?</i></p> - -<p>Cobber could not answer. Powerless, impotent, he could not fulfill the -demand for just revenge that Kama had asked. A thousand plans pursued -their way through his mind. A thousand solutions leapt up, offering -themselves. He could have killed Wilson and shown them the body. But it -would have meant death for all them in the courts of Earth.</p> - -<p>What was the alternative? In his mind he could see the story. The -spaceship would return home with a cargo full of catalytic and the -story of ignorant beings willing to mine the metal for tanks of oxygen. -Cheap, easy to manufacture oxygen in exchange for power! Other ships -would come and other men like Wilson, greedy men, powerful men, men -with lust in their hearts.</p> - -<p>Kama's people, scarcely on the first rung of civilization's ladder, -would be thrust back into the darkness. Tribal warfare, spurred on and -encouraged by Earthmen, would deplete the planet. A new culture, just -born, would die.
