Reddinger and Held read the documents the TT official handed them. There was a long silence broken only by the occasional crackling of expensive parchment. Then: “Oh hell!” Reddinger said, and signed his name. Held followed suit.

“Thank you, gentlemen,” the TT official said. “If you’ll follow me, please—”

THE Time Terminal was a disappointment. Reddinger, who was partial to B-movies, had expected to see banks of colorful equipment lining the walls, crimson fluid gurgling through networks of glass tubing, and blue flames arcing continuously between brightly polished terminals. Instead, he saw a row of couches, reminiscent of hospital beds, each with a crystal canopy suspended; several feet above it. Then he noticed the footboards, and his faith in his civilization was restored: each of them boasted a control panel almost, but not quite, as lavish as the dashboard of the new 1977 Road Queen he had just put on display in his uptown showroom.

The TT official introduced Reddinger and Held to the Time-tech, and left. The Time-tech, another annoyingly young man, escorted them to two adjacent couches. “Lie down, gentlemen,” he said. “On your backs, please.”
