Our
behavior
is
different
.
How
often
have
you
seen
a
headline
like
this
?
--
TWO
DIE
ATTEMPTING
RESCUE
OF
DROWNING
CHILD
.
If
a
man
gets
lost
in
the
mountains
,
hundreds
will
search
and
often
two
or
three
searchers
are
killed
.
But
the
next
time
somebody
gets
lost
just
as
many
volunteers
turn
out
.
Poor
arithmetic
...
but
very
human
.
It
runs
through
all
our
folklore
,
all
human
religions
,
all
our
literature
a
racial
conviction
that
when
one
human
needs
rescue
,
others
should
not
count
the
price
.
Weakness
?
It
might
be
the
unique
strength
that
wins
us
a
Galaxy
.
Weakness
or
strength
,
Bugs
do
n't
have
it
;
there
was
no
prospect
of
trading
fighters
for
fighters
.
But
in
a
hive
polyarchy
,
some
castes
are
valuable
or
so
our
Psych
Warfare
people
hoped
.
If
we
could
capture
brain
Bugs
,
alive
and
undamaged
,
we
might
be
able
to
trade
on
good
terms
.
And
suppose
we
captured
a
queen
!
What
is
a
queen
's
trading
value
?
A
regiment
of
troopers
?
Nobody
knew
,
but
Battle
Plan
ordered
us
to
capture
Bug
"
royalty
,
"
brains
and
queens
,
at
any
cost
,
on
the
gamble
that
we
could
trade
them
for
human
beings
.
The
third
purpose
of
Operation
Royalty
was
to
develop
methods
:
how
to
go
down
,
how
to
dig
them
out
,
how
to
win
with
less
than
total
weapons
.
Trooper
for
warrior
,
we
could
now
defeat
them
above
ground
;
ship
for
ship
,
our
Navy
was
better
;
but
,
so
far
,
we
had
had
no
luck
when
we
tried
to
go
down
their
holes
.
If
we
failed
to
exchange
prisoners
on
any
terms
,
then
we
still
had
to
:
(
a
)
win
the
war
,
(
b
)
do
so
in
a
way
that
gave
us
a
fighting
chance
to
rescue
our
own
people
,
or
(
c
)
--
might
as
well
admit
it
--
die
trying
and
lose
.
Planet
P
was
a
field
test
to
determine
whether
we
could
learn
how
to
root
them
out
.
