Silence。

Inside the cylinder; Ted sighed。 〃I dont think they should kill it;〃 he said softly。

Norman thought; I dont think they can。

Nobody else said anything。 They listened to the amplified breathing of Barnes and Tina。

〃Northeast corner 。。。 All right。 Feel strong currents; active; moving water 。。。 something nearby。 。。。 Cant see 。。。 visibility less than five feet。 Can barely see stanchion I am holding。 I can feel him; though。 Hes big。 Hes near。 Tina?〃

Silence。

A loud sharp crackling sound; static。 Then silence。

〃Tina? Tina?〃

Silence。

〃Ive lost Tina。〃

Another; very long silence。

〃I dont know what it 。。。 Tina; if you can hear me; stay where you are; Ill take it from here。 。。。 Okay 。。。 He is very close。 。。。 I feel him moving。 。。。 Pushes a lot of water; this guy。 A real monster。〃

Silence again。

〃Wish I could see better。〃

Silence。

''213'' 〃Tina? Is that…〃

And then a muffled thud that might have been an explosion。 They all looked at each other; trying to know what the sound meant; but in the next instant the habitat began rocking and wrenching again; and Norman; unprepared; was slammed sideways; against the sharp edge of the bulkhead door; and the world went gray。 He saw Harry strike the wall next to him; and Harrys glasses fell onto Normans chest; and Norman reached for the glasses for Harry; because Harry needed his glasses。 And then Norman lost consciousness; and everything was black。

AFTER THE ATTACK

Hot spray poured over him; and he inhaled steam。 Standing in the shower; Norman looked down at his body and thought; I look like a survivor of an airplane crash。 One of those people I used to see and marvel that they were still alive。

The lumps on his head throbbed。 His chest was scraped raw in a great swath down to his abdomen。 His left thigh was purple…red; his right hand was swollen and painful。

But; then; everything was painful。 He groaned; turning his face up to the water。

〃Hey;〃 Harry called。 〃How about it in there?〃

〃Okay。〃

Norman stepped out; and Harry climbed in。 Scrapes and bruises covered his thin body。 Norman looked over at Ted; who lay on his back in one of the bunks。 Ted had dislocated both shoulders; and it had taken Beth half an hour to get them back in; even after shed shot him up with morphine。

〃How is it now?〃 Norman said to him。

''214'' 〃Okay。〃

Ted had a numb; dull expression。 His ebullience was gone。 He had sustained a greater injury than the dislocated shoulders; Norman thought。 In many ways a na?ve child; Ted must have been profoundly shocked to discover that this alien intelligence was hostile。

〃Hurt much?〃 Norman said。

〃Its okay。〃

Norman sat slowly on his bunk; feeling pain streak up his spine。 Fifty…three years old; he thought。 I should be playing golf。 Then he thought; I should be just about anywhere in the world; except here。 He winced; and gingerly slipped a shoe over his injured right foot。 For some reason; he remembered Levys bare toes; the skin color dead; the foot striking his faceplate。

〃Did they find Barnes?〃 Ted asked。

〃I havent heard;〃 Norman said。 〃I dont think so。〃
