Bill partially undid his own suit of skins and then suddenly Nova seemed to realize what was wanted. She did a quick pantomine for the girl, which neither Bill nor Jeff understood, and the girl nodded. She gave Bill a fearful look, but without another hesitation she took off her black fur garment and handed it to the astronaut. She stood naked but unembarrassed.

“I guess they don’t have much in the way of nudity taboos,” Bill said to Jeff.

“Maybe they just wear these things for warmth. Okay, now what are you going to do with it?”

“Nova . . . Nova?” Bill caught her attention again and, wrapping his arms around himself, pointed to the other girl.

Immediately Nova started to undo her own clothes, presumably to give them to the nude girl.

“No, no!” Bill pointed at the truck and over it at the others. “Find her something else, will you? Maybe the tops of a couple of other garments?”

Nova seemed to grasp the idea, and took the girl by the hand to lead her around the truck.

“I think you are elected, Jeff.” Bill started to shape the fur around Jeff’s head and shoulders.

“Hey! What’s going on?”

“You’re going to become a gorilla truck driver, my friend. Tear off some of the edge there and shape it around your mouth and chin. Hide that handsome nonsimian face of yours.”

“I get it. We take the trucks—”

“One truck. Filled with the most likely humanoids with clubs, and me on the floorboards ready to jump out and surprise the hell out of them.”

Jeff looked at him a long time. “A Trojan horse .. . of sorts.”

“Of sorts.”

The black sighed. “Well. . . okay. Mainly because I can’t think of anything better.”

As Jeff began to assemble the fur around his head, Bill went around to determine the most likely club handlers. He ended up picking two women and ten men. Giving them the best clubs, he silently demonstrated their use. But the humanoids just looked at him. Bill shrugged and went back to inspect Jeff’s costume.

“Not bad, not if they don’t get too close before they tumble,” he said. “And only your head and shoulders will show above the truck door. But we’d better not be slow.”

Bill put the clubbers into the first truck; then he herded the others into the second truck, and put Nova in charge of these latter.

“Now you keep them here,” he said, miming the words.

Nova nodded, and Bill climbed into the first truck’s passenger side. He gave a slight and uncontrollable start as he looked at Jeff.

“Not bad!” he admitted.

“Well, I wouldn’t want to be too good,” Jeff complained.

“Don’t smile! It spoils the effect.”

Bill hefted the yard-long hardwood club he had and got down onto the floorboards. Then he tested the door and even tried jumping out once. He climbed back in and knelt down. “Drive on, MacDuff!” he said.

The truck lurched into gear and bounced up over a rock. “Uck! Sorry, but I don’t see too good through all this fur,” Jeff said.
