Captain
Willem
Van
Tromp
was
a
man
of
humanity
and
good
sense
.
He
radioed
ahead
:
"
My
passenger
must
not
,
repeat
,
must
not
be
subjected
to
the
strain
of
a
public
reception
.
Provide
low
-
gee
shuttle
,
stretcher
and
ambulance
service
,
and
armed
guard
.
"
He
sent
his
ship
’
s
surgeon
Dr
.
Nelson
along
to
make
sure
that
Valentine
Michael
Smith
was
installed
in
a
suite
in
Bethesda
Medical
Center
,
transferred
gently
into
a
hydraulic
bed
,
and
protected
from
outside
contact
by
marine
guards
.
Van
Tromp
himself
went
to
an
extraordinary
session
of
the
Federation
High
Council
.
At
the
moment
when
Valentine
Michael
Smith
was
being
lifted
into
bed
,
the
High
Minister
for
Science
was
saying
testily
,
"
Granted
,
Captain
,
that
your
authority
as
military
commander
of
what
was
nevertheless
primarily
a
scientific
expedition
gives
you
the
right
to
order
unusual
medical
service
to
protect
a
person
temporarily
in
your
charge
,
I
do
not
see
why
you
now
presume
to
interfere
with
the
proper
functions
of
my
department
.
Why
,
Smith
is
a
veritable
treasure
trove
of
scientific
information
!
"
"
Yes
.
I
suppose
he
is
,
sir
.
"
"
Then
why
-
"
The
science
minister
broke
off
and
turned
to
the
High
Minister
for
Peace
and
Military
Security
.
"
David
?
This
matter
is
obviously
now
in
my
jurisdiction
.
Will
you
issue
the
necessary
instructions
to
your
people
?
After
all
,
one
can
’
t
keep
persons
of
the
caliber
of
Professor
Kennedy
and
Doctor
Okajima
,
to
mention
just
two
,
cooling
their
heels
indefinitely
.
They
won
’
t
stand
for
it
.
"
The
peace
minister
did
not
answer
but
glanced
inquiringly
at
Captain
van
Tromp
.
The
captain
shook
his
head
.
"
No
,
sir
.
"
"
Why
not
?
"
demanded
the
science
minister
.
"
You
have
admitted
that
he
isn
’
t
sick
.
"
"
Give
the
captain
a
chance
to
explain
,
Pierre
,
"
the
peace
minister
advised
.
"
Well
,
Captain
?
"
"
Smith
isn
’
t
sick
,
sir
,
"
Captain
van
Tromp
said
to
the
peace
minister
,
"
but
he
isn
’
t
well
,
either
.
He
has
never
before
been
in
a
one
-
gravity
field
.
He
now
weighs
more
than
two
and
one
half
times
what
he
is
used
to
and
his
muscles
aren
’
t
up
to
it
.
He
’
s
not
used
to
Earth
-
normal
air
pressure
.
He
’
s
not
used
to
anything
and
the
strain
is
likely
to
be
too
much
for
him
.
Hell
’
s
bells
,
gentlemen
,
I
’
m
dog
tired
myself
just
from
being
at
one
-
gee
again
-
and
I
was
born
on
this
planet
.
