âOf course you wouldnât know,â Dulcie said with a sympathetic smile. âHe told me he was on your crew thatâs leaving on a special mission today. Maybe since youâve talked to me youâll be able to understand him on the trip a little better anyway, lieutenant.â
âIâll try to do that, Miss Gerard,â Rob promised, âbut Iâm afraid itâll be mostly up to Clay himself. I wish youâd talk to him and tell him how important it is that he make himself a part of the team on this voyage and not just a triple-threat star. I canât tell you how vital it is for him to do this.â
âIt must be a terribly important flight,â the girl said. âThe Space Command has been using its priority wave length more than ever in the past few days.â
âSorry, but I canât give out any information,â Rob told her. âAll Space Command flights are top secret, you know.â
âI know. But a person canât help wondering. I mean after all that panic thatâs going on back on Earthââ
It would never do for her to find out about Operation Big Boy, Rob thought worriedly, so he decided to end the conversation completely.
He looked at his watch and said, âIâve got to get back to my quarters now. Iâm grateful for what you told me about your brother. If he co-operates with us, weâll go halfway with him. Just remind him of that.â
Dulcie looked at him intently. âClay and I are the last of the Gerards, Lieutenant Allison. Our heritage has been a great one, and I guess thatâs whatâs helped to make Clay like he is. Itâs because Clay is the last of our family to carry the name that I want so hard for him to make good.â
âWith a sister like you encouraging him, Miss Gerard, I donât see how he can miss,â Rob told her gallantly and with an engaging smile.
Her thoughtful gaze followed his figure until it disappeared around the far corner of the hall.
A few hours afterward, the six-man crew of the Cetus X-500 was in the Space Command planetarium receiving final briefing from General Forester. The spacious dark room gleamed with thousands of lights, each one of them accurately depicting a prominent star in the heavens. General Forester pointed to a pulsing hazy spot against the starlight.
