It
was
a
space
-
port
.
A
deep
blue
sky
,
blue
-
tinged
buildings
of
naked
metal
on
blue
-
green
ground
.
A
blue
cylinder
of
odd
design
,
bulgebottomed
,
stood
in
the
foreground
.
Two
others
like
it
were
in
the
background
.
All
three
pointed
cleft
noses
upward
,
the
cleavage
biting
deeply
into
the
vitals
of
the
ship
.
Harlan
frowned
.
"
They
’
re
queer
ones
.
"
"
Electro
-
gravitic
,
"
said
Voy
.
"
The
2481st
is
the
only
Century
to
develop
electro
-
gravitic
space
-
travel
.
No
propellants
,
no
nucleonics
.
It
’
s
an
aesthetically
pleasing
device
.
It
’
s
a
pity
we
must
Change
away
from
it
.
A
pity
.
"
His
eyes
fixed
themselves
on
Harlan
with
distinct
disapproval
.
Harlan
’
s
lips
compressed
.
Disapproval
of
course
!
Why
not
?
He
was
the
Technician
.
To
be
sure
,
it
had
been
some
Observer
who
had
brought
in
the
details
of
drug
addiction
.
It
had
been
some
Statistician
who
had
demonstrated
that
recent
Changes
had
increased
the
addiction
rate
until
now
it
was
the
highest
in
all
the
current
Reality
of
man
.
Some
Sociologist
,
probably
Voy
himself
,
had
interpreted
that
into
the
psychiatric
profile
of
a
society
.
Finally
,
some
Computer
had
worked
out
the
Reality
Change
necessary
to
decrease
addiction
to
a
safe
level
and
found
that
,
as
a
side
effect
,
electro
-
gravitic
space
-
travel
must
suffer
.
A
dozen
,
a
hundred
men
of
every
rating
in
Eternity
had
had
a
hand
in
this
.
But
then
,
at
the
end
,
a
Technician
such
as
himself
must
step
in
.
Following
the
directions
all
the
others
had
combined
to
give
him
,
he
must
be
the
one
to
initiate
the
actual
Reality
Change
.
And
then
all
the
others
would
stare
in
haughty
accusation
at
him
.
Their
stares
would
say
:
You
,
not
we
,
have
destroyed
this
beautiful
thing
.
And
for
that
,
they
would
condemn
and
avoid
him
.
They
would
shift
their
own
guilt
to
his
shoulders
and
scorn
him
.
Harlan
said
harshly
,
"
Ships
aren
’
t
what
count
.
We
’
re
concerned
with
those
things
.
"
The
"
things
"
were
people
,
dwarfed
by
the
space
-
ship
,
as
Earth
and
Earth
’
s
society
is
always
dwarfed
by
the
physical
dimensions
of
spaceflight
.
