At headquarters of the Third Space Army, United States of Earth, General Balantine sat massively at his field desk impatiently going through a sheaf of reports.
"Belts!" he brayed at an aide. "Tell Colonel Strawn that whether he thinks regulation hold-down belts are useless or not his troops will wear them and parade with them!"
"Yessir," said the aide timidly. He had a report in his hand and was not very anxious to give it.
"Well?" said General Balantine sharply. "What have you there?"
"It's a report, sir. Captain de Wolf and Flight Officer Morrison are missing on reconnaissance. They are unreported for a day and a half."
"Morrison? De Wolf? Oh, yes, De Wolf." General Balantine was perfectly silent for a moment. Then, in an altered tone: "Morrison ... Morrison. I don't know the man. I ... don't ... knowâ" He was silent again, so that his abrupt return to activity was the more startling.
"Post an order for a council of officers. And have another aide appointed to me. Dammit, that was a neat plan of attack, too."
"You're changing the plan, sir?"
General Balantine snorted. "They'll wear those hold-down safety belts. I'll change that plan of attack. I don't knowâcan't knowâwhat the Saturnians found out. I don't think De Wolf ... but it makes no difference. I'd have to know and that's impossible. There's time to change. Post that notice."
