  Speaker 1: Section thirty seven of nine sci fi stories by Paul Anderson.
• 0:04
  Speaker 1: This LibriVox, according is in the public domain sagesso of
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: Lust Starships, Chapter three. Donovan hadn't found the switch before
• 0:14
  Speaker 1: the door was open, and lights spilled in from the
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: hallway floor tubes, cold white light, a shaft of it,
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: picking out Watcher's monstrous form and throwing grotesque shadows on
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: the walls. Commander Yansky was there in full uniform, and
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: then Saint Jean scoresby her aid. The younger girl's face
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: was white, her eyes enormous. The Dyansky wore a grimness
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: like an armor. All right, Donovan, she said, if had
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: your binge and now the trouble is starting. You didn't
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: say they were voices. It could be anything, he answered,
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: climbing out of the bunk and steadying himself with one hand.
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: His head swam a little. The corners of the room
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: were thick with shadow. Perhaps basely turn you delusions, the
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: man laughed unpleasantly. His face was pale and gaunt, unshaven
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: in the bleak radiance. And you start going crazy, I
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: imagine you always hear voices. There was contempt in the
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: gray eyes that raked him, Donovan, I put a technician
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: to work on it. When the nauses began a few
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: hours ago, he recorded them no very faint, and they
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: seemed to originate just outside the ear of anyone who
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: hears them. But they're real enough. Radiations don't speak in
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: human anglic with an accent such as I never heard before,
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: not unless they carry away for a message. Donovan, ooh,
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: or what is inside the black nebula? The ansons laugh,
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: jarred out again. Ooh h, what is inside this ship?
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: He challenged, our great human science. There's no way of
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: making the air vibrate by itself. Maybe there were ghosts
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: standing invisible just beside us and whispering in our ears.
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: We could detect nothing, no radiations, no one, my dear Felds,
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: nothing but the sounds themselves. I refuse to believe that
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: Matta can be set in motion without some kind of
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: physical force being applied. Yansky clapped a hand to her
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: side arm. You know what is waiting for us, You
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: know how they do it? Go ahead, hypno probe me,
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: lay me out helpless for a week, or shoot me
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: if you like, You'll be just as dead whatever you do.
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: Your tones were cold and sharp. Get on your clothes
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: and come out to the bridge. Shrugged, picked up his
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: uniform and began to shock his pajamas. The women looked away.
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: Your coat. Thou doom her, he thought, with a wrenching
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: deep inside him, thou doomer. I've returned. He stepped over
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: to the mirror. The answer uniform was a gesture of defiance,
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: and it occurred to him that he should shave if
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: he wore it in front of these terrans. He ran
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: the electric grazor of his cheeks and chin his tunic
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: straight and turned back. All right, They went out into
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: the hallway. A spaceman went by on some errand his
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: eyes were strained wide, staring at blankness, and his lips moved.
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: The voices were speaking to him. It's demoralizing, the crew, said, Yansky,
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: it has to stop. Go ahead and stop it, jeered Donovan,
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: aren't you the representative of the almighty Empire of Saul,
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: command them, in the name of his majesties to stop
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: the crew? I mean, she said impatiently. I've got no
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: business being frightened by a local phenomenon. Any human would
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: be answered, Donovan, you are, though you ought admit it.
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: I am. We can't help ourselves. It's instinct, instinct. Her
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: eyes were a little surprised. Shaw Donovan halted before a
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: view screen. Space blazed and roiled against the reaching darkness.
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: Just look out there. It's the primeval night. It's the
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: blind unknown, where unimaginable inhuman powers were abroad. We're still
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: the old half ape, crouched over his fire and trembling
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: while the night roars around us. A lighted, heated, metal
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: armed ship is still the lonely cave fire, the hearth,
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: with steel and stone laid at the door to keep
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: out the gods. When the wild hunt breaks through and
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: shouts at us, we must be frightened. It's the primitive
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: fear of the dark. It's part of us. She swept
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: on her cloak, a scarlet wing flapping behind her. They
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: took the elevator to the bridge. Donovan had not watched
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: the black nebula grow over the days, swell to a
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: monstrous thing that blotted out half the sky. Listlessness fringed
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: with the cold glory of the stars. Now that the
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: ship was entering its tenuous outer fringes, the heavens on
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: either side were blurring and dimming, and the blackness yawned
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: before even the densest nebula is a hard vacuum. The
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: tons upon incredible tons of cosmic dust and gas meeting
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: planetary and interstellar distances on every hand or blut out
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: the sky. It was like rushing into an endless, bottomless hole.
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: The ship was falling and falling to the pit of hell.
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: I noticed you never looked bowards on the trip, said Yansky,
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: though steel in her voice. Why did you lock yourself
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: in your cabin and drink like a sponge? I was bored,
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: he replied, sullenly. You were afraid, she snapped contemptuously. You
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: didn't dare watch the nebula growing. Something happened the last
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: time you were here, But suck the gats out of you.
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: Didn't your intelligence Talk to the men who were with me, Yes,
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: of course, none of them would say more than you said.
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: They all wanted us to come here, but blind and unprepared. Well,
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: mister Donovan, we're going in the floor. Pates shook under
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: watches tread. You took the buss that way, he rumbled.
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: Let be watcher, said Donovan. It doesn't matter how she talks.
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: He looked ahead, and the old yearning came alive in him,
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: the fear and the memory. But he had not thought
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: that it would shiver with such a strange gladness. And
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: who knew a bargain? Valduma come back to me. Yansky's
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: gaze on him narrowed, but her voice was suddenly low
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: and puzzled. No smiling, she whispered. He turned from the viewscreen,
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: and his laugh was ragged. Maybe I'm looking forward to
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: this visit. Helena. My name, she said, stiffly, is COMMANDI
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: Yansky out there? Maybe, But in here there is no rank,
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: no empire, no mission. We're all humans, frightened little humans
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: huddling together against the dark. Donovan's smile softened. You know, Helena,
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: you have very beautiful eyes. The slow flush crept up
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: her high, smooth cheeks. I want a full report of
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: what happened to you last time, she said, Now, or
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: you go under the probe. It is a long way home,
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: Spacey Spacy, your son very far away? Why? Certainly? Donovan
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: leaned against the wall and grinned at her, glad to
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: only you won't believe me. She made no reply, but
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: folded her arms and waited. The ship trembled with its
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: forward thrust. Sweat beaded the forehead of the watch officer,
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: and he glared around him. We're entering the home of
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: all lawlessness, said Donovan, the realm of magic, the outlaw
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: world of ware beasts and night gangs. Can't you hear
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: the wings outside? These ghosts are only the first sign.
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: I'll have a plague of witches soon. Get out, she said.
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: He shrugged. Oh, Hannah, I told you you wouldn't believe me.
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: He turned and walked slowly from the bridge. Outside was starless, lightless,
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: infant black. The ship crept forward, straining her detectives, groping
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: into the blind dark, while her crew went mad. Spaceman,
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: it is too late. You will never find your way,
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: your own gather. You are a dead man and the
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: girl's ship, and you'll fall forever to tonight. I saw
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: him long, I saw him down in section three, tall
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: and thin and black. You'll laughter me? And then there
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: wasn't anything there sound of great wings beating somewhere outside
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: the hull. Mother, can can you have a start to play?
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: Thank you? Chile? Susan so wicked reign of laughter and
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: the sound of claud feet running. No one went alone.
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: Spaceman first class. Gottfried and Martine's went down a starboard
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: companionway and saw the herded black form waiting for them.
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: Gottfried pulled out his blaster and fired. The ravening beam
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: sprang backward and consumed him. Martinez lay mumbling in Psycho bay.
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: The light went out. After an hour. They flickered back
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: on again, but men had rioted and killed each other
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: in the dark. Command Yansky recalled the whole personal weapons
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: on the grounds that the Kruguld no longer be trusted
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: with them. The men drew up a petition to get
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: them back. When it was refused, there was muttering of
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: revolt two. He had wounded be on the edge of
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: the issue, and now there was a death. The hours
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: dragged into days, and the ship's timepieces started disagreeing. Time
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: ceased to have meaning. Besil Donovan sat in his cabin.
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: There was a bottle in his hand, but he tried
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: to go slow. He was waiting. When the knock came.
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: He leaped from his seat and every nerve tightened up
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: and screamed. He swore at himself they wouldn'tknock when they
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: came for him, go on enter. His voice wavered Heleniyansky
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: stepped inside, closing the door after her. She had thinned,
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: and there was darkness in her eyes, but she still
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: bore herself erect. Donovan had to salute the stubborn courage
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: that was in her, the unimaginative peasant blood. No, it
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: was more than that. She was as intelligent as he.
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: But there was a deep strength in that tall form,
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: a quiet vitality which had perhaps been bred after the
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: families of Ansar sit down, he invited. He sighed, and
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: ran a hand through her dark hair. Thanks, drink. No,
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: not on duty, and the captain has always on duty. Well,
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: let it go. Donovan lowered himself to the bunk beside her,
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: resting his feet on Watcher's columnar leg. The Donarian muttered
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: and whimpered in his sleep, What can I do for you?
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: Her gaze was steady and grave. Would tell me the
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: truth about the Nebula. Why should I me? One good
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: reason why Anson should care what happens to a solarian ship?
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: Perhaps only that were all human beings here, that those
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: boys of earth and rain and sunlight and wise waiting
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: for them, and val domer. Now she isn't human? Fire
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: and ice and storming madness, but not human, too beautiful
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: to be flesh. The strip is your idea, he said defensively, Donovan,
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: you wouldn't have played such a foul trick and made
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: such a weak's self righteous excuse in the old days.
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: He looked away, feeling his cheeks hot. Well, he mumbled,
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: why not turn around, get out of the Nebula if
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: you can, and maybe come back later with a task
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: for us and lead them all into this trap. Our
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: subtronnics are out. You know you can't send information back,
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: So we'll just go on and learn a little more
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: and then try to fight our way home. His smile
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: was crooked. They may have been baiting you her now,
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: but if I told you everything I know, it wouldn't help.
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: There isn't enough. Her hand fell strong and urgent on
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: his tell me, then, tell me anyway. But there is
• 12:03
  Speaker 1: so little as a planet somewhere in the Nebula, and
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: its inhabitants with powers I don't begin to understand. But
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: among other things, they can project themselves hype or wise,
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: just like a spaceship, without needing engines to do it,
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: and they have a certain control of a matter and energy.
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: The fringe stars, these beings, and the nebula really have
• 12:23
  Speaker 1: been their gods. Yes, they protected themselves, terrorized the natives
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: for centuries, and carry home the sacrificial materials for their
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: own use, and doubtless responsible for all the ships around
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: here that never came home. They don't like visitors. Donovan
• 12:39
  Speaker 1: saw her smile, and his own lips twitched. But they did.
• 12:43
  Speaker 1: I suppose take some prisoners to learn our language and
• 12:46
  Speaker 1: anything else they could about us. She nodded. I've conjectured
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: as much. If you don't accept theories involving the supernatural,
• 12:53
  Speaker 1: and I don't, it follows almost necessarily if a few
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: of them projected themselves aboard and hid somewhere, they could
• 12:59
  Speaker 1: min pnipulate air molecules from a distance so as to
• 13:02
  Speaker 1: produce the whisperings. She smiled afresh, But the hollowness was
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: still in here. When you call us a new sort
• 13:08
  Speaker 1: of ventriloquism, it doesn't sound nearly so bad, does it. Fiercely,
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: the woman turned on him. What have you to do
• 13:15
  Speaker 1: with him? How are you so sure I talked with
• 13:19
  Speaker 1: one of them, he replied slowly. He might say we
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: struck up a friendship of sorts, But I learned nothing,
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: and the only benefit I got was escaping. I've no
• 13:28
  Speaker 1: useful information. His voice sharpened, And that's all I have
• 13:32
  Speaker 1: to say. Where are we going on? Her head lifted pridefully.
• 13:37
  Speaker 1: Donovan's smile was a crooked grimace. He took her hand
• 13:40
  Speaker 1: and lay unresisting between his fingers. Helena, He said he'd
• 13:44
  Speaker 1: been trying to psychoanalyze me this whole trip. Maybe it's
• 13:48
  Speaker 1: my turn now. You're not so hard as you tell yourself.
• 13:51
  Speaker 1: I am an officer of the Imperial Navy. Haughtiness didn't
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: quite come off. Saw saw a hard child career girl.
• 13:58
  Speaker 1: Only you are so a healthy human being down underneath you,
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: and a home and kids and quiet green hills. Don't
• 14:04
  Speaker 1: lie to yourself. That wouldn't be fitting to the Lady
• 14:07
  Speaker 1: Yansky of Targandelle, would it? You went into service because
• 14:10
  Speaker 1: it was the thing to do, and you're just a
• 14:11
  Speaker 1: scared kid, My dear Donovan shook his head, but a
• 14:15
  Speaker 1: very nice looking kid. Tears glimmered on her lashes. Stop it,
• 14:21
  Speaker 1: she whispered, desperately. Don't say it. You kissed her, a long,
• 14:26
  Speaker 1: slow kiss, with her mouth trembling under his and her
• 14:29
  Speaker 1: body shivering. Ever so friinkly. The second time, she responded
• 14:34
  Speaker 1: shy as a child, hardly aware with a sudden hunger.
• 14:39
  Speaker 1: She pulled free, then sat with eyes wide and wild,
• 14:42
  Speaker 1: one hand lifted to her mouth. No, she said, so quietly,
• 14:46
  Speaker 1: you could scarce hear. No, not now. Suddenly she got
• 14:51
  Speaker 1: up and almost fled. Donovan sighed, why did I do
• 14:54
  Speaker 1: that to stop her inquiring too closely? Not just because
• 14:57
  Speaker 1: she's honest and humor Anna al duomer is Oh. Darkness
• 15:02
  Speaker 1: swirled before his eyes. Watcher came awake and shrank against
• 15:06
  Speaker 1: the farther wall, terror rattling in his throat, buss bush
• 15:10
  Speaker 1: Ye see again. Donovan sat unstaring, elbows on knees, hands
• 15:15
  Speaker 1: hanging empty, and looking at the two who had come.
• 15:18
  Speaker 1: Hallo val dumer, he said, bezel. Her voice sang against him, rippling,
• 15:25
  Speaker 1: alolting the unending sharp laughter beneath its surprise. Bezil, you
• 15:31
  Speaker 1: have come back. H He nodded to the other. You're Marsac.
• 15:36
  Speaker 1: Can't you sit down? Have a drink? An old home week.
• 15:41
  Speaker 1: The creature from Zon remained erect. He looked human on
• 15:44
  Speaker 1: the outside, tall and gaunt in a black cape which
• 15:48
  Speaker 1: glistened with tiny points of starlight, the hood drawn back
• 15:52
  Speaker 1: so that his red hair fell free to his shoulders.
• 15:55
  Speaker 1: The face was long and thin, chiseled to an ultimate
• 15:59
  Speaker 1: refinement of classical beauty, white and cold, cold as space,
• 16:04
  Speaker 1: tempered steel. In spite of the smile on the pale lips,
• 16:08
  Speaker 1: in spite of the dark mirth in the slant green eyes,
• 16:11
  Speaker 1: one hand rested in the jeweled hilt of a sword.
• 16:15
  Speaker 1: Balduma stood beside Morzac for an instant, and Donovan watched her,
• 16:19
  Speaker 1: with the old sick wildness rising and clamoring in him.
• 16:22
  Speaker 1: You are the fairest thing which ever was between the stars,
• 16:25
  Speaker 1: her ice and flame and living fury, stronger and weaker
• 16:29
  Speaker 1: than man, cool and sweet as a child a thousand
• 16:32
  Speaker 1: years old. I love you, but you are not human Valdumer.
• 16:38
  Speaker 1: She was tall, and her grace was a lithe, rippling flow.
• 16:41
  Speaker 1: Wind and fire and music made flesh, a burning glory
• 16:46
  Speaker 1: of hair, rushing past of black caped shoulders, and slim
• 16:50
  Speaker 1: and beautiful. The strange, clean, molded face, white as polished ivory,
• 16:56
  Speaker 1: the mouth red and laughing. The eye is long and
• 16:59
  Speaker 1: oblique and old, flecked green. When she spoke, it was
• 17:03
  Speaker 1: like singing in heaven and laughter in hell. Donovan looked
• 17:07
  Speaker 1: at her, not moving, Basil, you came back to me.
• 17:12
  Speaker 1: He came because he had to mask a Vazum folded
• 17:15
  Speaker 1: his arm's eye, smoldering in anger. Best we kill him now,
• 17:20
  Speaker 1: lead her perheps laid her, But not now, I val
• 17:24
  Speaker 1: Dumer laughed aloud. Suddenly she wasn't done of his arms.
• 17:28
  Speaker 1: Her kisses were a rain of fire though a thunder
• 17:30
  Speaker 1: and darkness and dancing stars. Is aware of nothing else,
• 17:34
  Speaker 1: not for a long long time. She leaned back in
• 17:38
  Speaker 1: his grasp, smiling up at him, stroking his hair with
• 17:41
  Speaker 1: one slender hand. His cheek was bloody as she had
• 17:45
  Speaker 1: scratched him. He looked back into her eyes though a
• 17:48
  Speaker 1: cat's eyh spit pupiled, or gold and emerald without the
• 17:52
  Speaker 1: human white. He laughed, very softly. Shall I kill you now,
• 17:57
  Speaker 1: she whispered, Or drive you mad first? Or let you
• 18:00
  Speaker 1: go again? What would be the most amusing battle? There
• 18:04
  Speaker 1: is no time for your pranks, said Mozak sharply. We
• 18:07
  Speaker 1: have to deal with the ship. It's getting dangerously close
• 18:10
  Speaker 1: to arson, and we've been unable yet to break the
• 18:12
  Speaker 1: morale and discipline of the crew. I think the only
• 18:14
