"Dann, I believe I'm getting something myself!" he whispers, his field flaring
elatedly. "This is amazing, we must discover the exact conditions.
Ron's never been so good before!"
And never will again, winds willing, Giadoc thinks.
And then to his infinite relief he feels the thrill in the air, the palpable,
thrumming, building power of the seeking Beam.
"Take Terenc! Take Terenc first!"
he projects with all his might as the last signal-groups come ripping through.
"That's it!" Noah is shouting happily, rushing among the cubicles.
"Identical! Every one identical, Kirk! Oh, wait till they see this. Dann,
Dann, come help me get the subjects out."
But Giadoc does not stir. The huge tension of the Beam is coming to full focus
on him now. In a moment he will be away forever and the real
Doctordan will be here to do his work. Giadoc wishes them well. But why is it
taking so long?
Ah! Energy culminates.
But just as he gathers himself to launch out upon it, he realizes
something is wrong. No good, wrong bias! His life is thrown back violently,
dazing him, but he realizes the dreadful meaning.
"NO! Fathers, you must not!"
he sends fiercely.
But it is too late. Familiar energies are blooming into being nearby.
"Doctor Dann, help! Frodo "
"Dann! Chris is "
Giadoc staggers through the clamor in the cubicles, already knowing what he
will find. Yes an alien female body is lying screaming on the floor, wreathed
in the terrified field of a Tyrenni child. As he stares, the small alien male
blunders past him and falls to its knees by the body.
Around him surges the huge, unmistakable field of a Father of Tyree. The
newcomer clasps the alien girl. The fields merge, the screams cease.

It is the life-field of Giadoc's son, Tiavan, and his child.
"Criminal! Go back!"
Giadoc lashes at him.
"Tyree is burning. I will save my child."
And then Tiavan is wholly preoccupied in Fathering, his alien mouth mumbling
"Calm, you're safe my little one. Father's here."
Uproar among the aliens; one is clinging to Giadoc and crying out. The air is
humming and bursting with the power of the Beam. The alien Kirk has pushed
into the commotion and, unthinkably, is tugging at Tiavan's small bodily form,
trying to pull him from his child. Tiavan mind-strikes him, he staggers back.
Then Rick gives a loud scream and falls, while another, smaller Tyrenni field
streams out around him.
"No wind!"
it transmits in horror. But Giadoc has no time to attend, he is almost knocked
over by Kirk charging out.
"I'm calling the patrol. You freaks are into my head!"
"No, no, Kirk!" Noah rushes after him.
Giadoc follows in time to see Kirk seizing some energy-device. But as he does
so, his body arches backward and he shouts wordlessly, falling. In a moment
his own limited energies are replaced by the wildly faring energies of a child
of Tyree. At its first cries, the old ambiguous alien stumbles out and falls
upon it, another huge Father-field furled around them both. Giadoc thinks he
recognizes the life-pattern of Father Colto.
Kirk's animal is circling them, uttering yelps.
"Doctor Dann, what's happening?"
cries the alien still clinging to his arm. Next second she too staggers, still
hanging on him, and the life-aura spreads to a pattern he knows: the female
Avanil.
"N-o w-wind " she mumbles, and collapses. There is a final yell and crash from
the corridor.
Angered beyond expression, Giadoc stands irresolute in the throbbing,
energy-brimming room. Seven Tyrenni are here. Only the old alien Noah is left,
so excited that he can only turn in place, gasping, "You you Who!
We, I think I " while the power of the Beam rains down, still biassed against
him.
Then the dog suddenly falls over, and Giadoc sees a last Tyrenni field
striving to form around it.
The Beam clears. He is free to go.
But as he gathers himself, the vision of the two Fathers attempting to comfort
their grotesque "children" wrenches him. And Tiavan, his son.
How can he leave them to the dangers of this place? Desperately he
mind-shouts, "Go back! Undo your crime. This is a dangerous world, your
children are not safe here."
"No!"
The figure of Tedyost lurches out of the corridor, a big Tyrenni field
streaming about it. But the life is damaged, in terrible disarray;
Giadoc can scarcely recognize him.
"Scomber!" he exclaims aloud. "You have done this thing."
"Yes." Tedyost's body falls against the wall and slides downward, while
Scomber's wounded life writhes, trying to restore itself. Beyond him
Giadoc can see Tiavan trying to force his small alien body to carry or drag
his child in this windless place. It is pathetic beyond bearing. But the power
of the Beam is falling and rising oddly; Giadoc must go.
At that moment he becomes aware of alien minds outside, and a hostile
emanation from the doorway.
Major Fearing walks into the room.
The hatred he transmits is so shocking that Giadoc is transfixed.
Danger here. But the alien's outward appearance is spuriously calm and relaxed

as he gazes around the chaotic room. When he perceives the prone figure of
Kirk cuddled in the old alien's arms his mind forms the words, "They've got
that fool Kirk."
Meanwhile his mouth is saying smilingly, "Well, Noah, how did your big test
go?"
His hand holds out a paper.
Noah comes out of his trance and begins distractedly exclaiming and showing
Fearing his results. As he does so, Giadoc can read in Fearing's thoughts the
intent to do some violence to the bodies in which the Tyrenni
are, in which his son is; a picture of them lying inert and mindless,
something about Doctoraris. The contrast between Fearing's hatred and his
demeanor is frightening, it implies absolute power to do his will. The
Beam is flickering again, but Giadoc cannot leave the oblivious Tyrenni now.
The Beam will wait for him; it must.
"DANGER! DANGER!"
He sends in utmost-emergency mode. But the
Fathers are too preoccupied. Only Avanils' mind starts to respond. But she
breaks off, touching the dog, and mind-cries, "Janskelen! Janskelen is in this
bad body!"
It is true, Giadoc sees, but he is thinking of protecting Tiavan. He can now [ Pobierz całość w formacie PDF ]
