"And I'd like you to clarify that remark about qualified psychologists," Ruth Ortheris added, in a voice approaching zero-Kelvin. "You wouldn't be challenging my professional qualifications, would you?""Oh, Ruth, you know I didn't mean anything like that. Please don't misunderstand me," Kellogg begged. "But this is highly specialized work-""Yes; how many Fuzzy specialists have you at Science Center, Leonard?" Rainsford wanted to know. "The only one I can think of is Jack Holloway, here.""Well, I'd thought of Dr. Mallin, the Company's head psychologist.""He can come too, just as long as he understands that he'll louis vuitton 2013 have to have my permission for anything he wants to do with the Fuzzies," Jack said. "When can we expect you?"Kellogg thought some time late the next afternoon. He didn't have to ask how to get to the camp. He made a few efforts to restore the conversation to its original note of cordiality, gave that up as a bad job and blanked out. There was a brief silence in the living room. Then Jimenez said reproachfully:"You certainly weren't very gracious to Dr. Kellogg, Jack. Maybe you don't realize it, but he is a very important man."
"The rainfall's dropped ten percent from last year, and fifteen percent from the year before that," Kellogg was saying. "And some non-Company people have gotten hold of it, and so have Interworld News. Why, even some of my people are talking about ecological side-effects. You know what will happen when a story like that gets back to Terra. The conservation fanatics will get hold of it, and the Company'll be criticized."That would hurt Leonard. He identified himself with the Company. It was something bigger and more powerful than he was, like God.Victor Grego identified the Company with himself. It was something big and powerful, like a vehicle, and he was at the controls."Leonard, a little criticism won't hurt the Company," he said. "Not where it matters, on the dividends. I'm afraid you're too sensitive to criticism. Where did Emmert www.louisvuittontaschenshop-2013.de get this story anyhow? From your people?""No, absolutely not, Victor. That's what worries him. It was this man Rainsford who started it.""Rainsford?"
They were both silent for a while after he had finished. Grego was looking at the globe, and he realized, now, that while he was proud of it, his pride was the pride in a paste jewel that stands for a real one in a blank vault. Now he was afraid that the real jewel was going to be stolen from him. Nick Emmert was just afraid."You were right yesterday, Victor. I wish Holloway'd killed that son of a Khooghra. Maybe it's not too late-""Yes, it is, Nick. It's too late to do anything like that. It's too late to do anything but win the case in court." He turned to Grego. "What are your people doing?"Grego took his eyes from the globe. "Ernst Mallin's studying all the filmed evidence we have and all the descriptions of Fuzzy behavior, and trying to prove that none of it is the result of sapient mentation. Ruth Ortheris is doing the same, only she's working on the line of instinct and conditioned reflexes and nonsapient, single-stage reasoning. She has a lot of rats, and some dogs and monkeys, and a lot of apparatus, and some technician from Henry Stenson's instrument shop helping her. Juan Jimenez is studying mentation for Terran dogs, cats and primates, and Freyan kholphs and Mimir black slinkers.""He hasn't turned up any simian or canine parallels to that funeral, has he?"Grego said nothing, merely shook his head. Emmert muttered something inaudible and probably indecent."I didn't think he had. I only hope those Fuzzies don't get up in court, build a bonfire and start making speeches in Lingua Terra."Nick Emmert cried out in panic. "You believe they're sapient yourself!"
Fifteen years ago, when the Zarathustra Company had sent him here, there had been a cluster of log and prefab huts beside an improvised landing field, almost exactly where this skyscraper now stood. Today, Mallorysport was a city of seventy thousand; in all, the planet had a population of nearly a million, and it was still growing. There were steel mills and chemical plants and reaction plants and machine works. They produced all their fissionables, and had recently begun to export a little refined plutonium; they had even started producing collapsium shielding.The recorded voice stopped. He ran back the spool, set for sixty-speed, and transmitted it to the radio office. In twenty minutes, a copy would be aboard the ship that would hyper out for Terra that night. While billige louis vuitton handtaschen he was finishing, his communication screen buzzed.
"Yes, indeed, Ernst," Kellogg burbled delightedly. "This is a wonderful opportunity. Mr. Holloway, I understand that all this country up here is your property, by land-grant purchase. That's right, isn't it? Well, would you allow us to camp on that clearing across the run, where our boat is now? We'll get prefab huts-Red Hill's the nearest town, isn't it?-and have a Company construction gang set them up for us, and we won't be any bother at all to you. We had only intended staying tonight on our boat, and returning to Mallorysport in the morning, but with all these Fuzzies swarming around in the woods, we can't think of leaving now. You don't have any objection, do you?"He had lots of objections. The whole business was rapidly developing into an acute pain in the neck for him. But if he didn't let Kellogg camp across the run, the three of them could move seventy to eighty miles in any direction and be off his land. He knew what they'd do then. They'd live-trap or sleep-gas Fuzzies; they'd put them in cages, and torment them with maze and electric shock experiments, and kill a few for dissection, or maybe not bother killing them first. On his own land, if they did anything like that, he could do something about it."Not at all. I'll have to remind you again, though, that you're to treat these little people with consideration.""Oh, we won't do anything to your Fuzzies," Mallin said.
