Stow
it
,
Sven
.
I
intended
to
talk
these
are
our
water
brothers
.
But
,
Ben
,
I
would
rather
not
see
this
in
your
column
.
I
would
like
to
command
a
space
ship
again
.
"
"
Captain
,
I
know
the
meaning
of
off
the
record
.
But
if
you
ll
feel
easier
,
I
ll
join
Mike
and
the
girls
for
a
while
I
want
to
see
Jill
anyhow
.
"
"
Please
don
t
leave
.
But
?
this
is
among
water
brothers
.
The
government
is
in
a
stew
about
that
nominal
colony
we
left
behind
.
Every
man
in
it
joined
in
signing
away
his
so
-
called
Larkin
rights
assigned
them
to
the
government
before
we
left
Earth
.
Mike
s
presence
when
we
got
to
Mars
confused
things
enormously
.
I
m
no
lawyer
,
but
I
understood
that
,
if
Mike
did
waive
his
rights
,
whatever
they
might
be
,
that
would
put
the
administration
in
the
driver
s
seat
when
it
came
to
parceling
out
things
of
value
.

"
What
things
of
value
?
"
demanded
Caxton
.
"
Other
than
pure
science
,
I
mean
.
Look
,
Skipper
,
I
m
not
running
down
your
achievement
,
but
from
all
I
ve
seen
and
heard
,
Mars
isn
t
exactly
valuable
real
estate
for
human
beings
.
Or
are
there
assets
that
are
still
classified
drop
dead
before
reading
?
"
Van
Tromp
shook
his
head
.
"
No
,
the
scientific
and
technical
reports
are
all
declassified
,
I
believe
.
But
,
Ben
,
the
Moon
was
a
worthless
hunk
of
rock
when
we
first
got
it
.
Now
look
at
it
.
"
"
Touch
,
"
Caxton
admitted
.
"
I
wish
my
grandpappy
had
bought
Lunar
Enterprises
instead
of
Canadian
uranium
.
I
don
t
have
Jubal
s
objections
to
being
rich
.
"
He
added
,
"
But
,
in
any
case
,
Mars
is
already
inhabited
.

Van
Tromp
looked
unhappy
.
"
Yes
.
But
-
Stinky
,
you
tell
him
.
"
Mahmoud
said
,
"
Ben
,
there
is
plenty
of
room
on
Mars
for
human
colonization
?
and
,
so
far
as
I
was
ever
able
to
find
out
,
the
Martians
would
not
interfere
.
They
did
not
object
when
we
told
them
we
intended
to
leave
a
colony
behind
.
Nor
did
they
seem
pleased
.
Not
even
interested
.
We
re
flying
our
flag
and
claiming
extraterritoriality
right
now
.
But
our
status
may
be
more
like
that
of
one
of
those
ant
cities
under
glass
one
sometimes
sees
in
school
rooms
.
I
was
never
able
to
grok
it
.
"
Jubal
nodded
.
"
Precisely
.
Myself
,
too
.
This
morning
I
did
not
have
the
slightest
idea
of
the
true
situation
?
except
that
I
knew
that
the
government
was
anxious
to
get
those
so
-
called
Larkin
rights
from
Mike
.
Beyond
that
I
was
ignorant
.
So
I
assumed
that
the
government
was
equally
ignorant
and
went
boldly
ahead
.
Audacity
,
always
audacity
soundest
principle
of
strategy
.
In
practicing
medicine
I
learned
that
when
you
are
most
at
loss
is
the
time
when
you
must
appear
confident
.
In
law
I
had
learned
that
,
when
your
case
seems
hopeless
,
you
must
impress
the
jury
with
your
relaxed
certainty
.
