〃In any case; our robot spacecraft; according to whatever built…in criteria it has; decides that this sphere is interesting。 It automatically grabs the sphere in its big claw hand here; draws it inside the ship; and brings it home。〃
〃Except in going home it goes too far; it goes into the past。〃
〃Its past;〃 Harry said。 〃Our present。〃
〃Right。〃
Barnes snorted impatiently。 〃Fine; so this spacecraft goes out and picks up a silver alien sphere and brings it back。 Get to the point: what is this sphere?〃
Harry walked forward to the sphere; pressed his ear against the metal; and rapped it with his knuckles。 He touched the grooves; his hands disappearing in the deep indentations。 The sphere was so highly polished Norman could see Harrys face; distorted; in the curve of the metal。 〃Yes。 ''107'' As I suspected。 These cabalistic markings; as you call them; are not decorative at all。 They have another purpose entirely; to conceal a small break in the surface of the sphere。 Thus they represent a door。〃 Harry stepped back。
〃What is the sphere?〃
〃Ill tell you what I think;〃 Harry said。 〃I think this sphere is a hollow container; I think theres something inside; and I think it scares the hell out of me。〃
FIRST EVALUATION
〃No; Mr。 Secretary;〃 Barnes said into the phone。 〃Were pretty sure it is an alien artifact。 There doesnt seem to be any question about that。〃
He glanced at Norman; sitting across the room。 〃Yes; sir;〃 Barnes said。 〃Very damn exciting。〃
They were back in the habitat; and Barnes had immediately called Washington。 He was trying to delay their return to the surface。
〃Not yet; we havent opened it。 Well; we havent been able to open it。 The door is a weird shape and its very finely milled。 。。。 No; you couldnt wedge anything in the crack。〃 He looked at Norman; rolled his eyes。
〃No; we tried that; too。 There dont seem to be any exterior controls。 No; no message on the outside。 No; no labels either。 All it is; is a highly polished sphere with some convoluted grooves on one side。 What? Blast it open?〃
Norman turned away。 He was in D Cylinder; in the munications section run by Tina Chan。 She was adjusting a dozen monitors with her usual calm。 Norman said; 〃You seem like the most relaxed person here。〃
She smiled。 〃Just inscrutable; sir。〃
〃Is that it?〃
''108'' 〃It must be; sir;〃 she said; adjusting the vertical gain on one rolling monitor。 The screen showed the polished sphere。 〃Because I feel my heart pounding; sir。 What do you think is inside that thing?〃
〃I havent any idea;〃 Norman said。
〃Do you think theres an alien inside? You know; some kind of a living creature?〃
〃Maybe。〃
〃And were trying to open it up? Maybe we shouldnt let it out; whatever is in there。〃
〃Arent you curious?〃 Norman said。
〃Not that curious; sir。〃
〃I dont see how blasting would work;〃 Barnes was saying on the phone。 〃Yes; we have SMTMPs; yes。 Oh; different sizes。 But I dont think we can blast the sucker open。 No。 Well; if you saw it; youd understand。 The thing is perfectly made。 Perfect。〃
Tina adjusted a second monitor。 They had two views of the sphere; and soon there would be a third。 Edmunds was setting up cameras to watch the sphere。 That had been one of Harrys suggestions。 Harry had said; 〃Monitor it。 Maybe it does something from time to time; has some activity。〃
On the screen; he saw the network of wires that had been attached to the sphere。 They had a full array of passive sensors: sound; and the full electromagnetic spectrum from infrared to gamma and X…rays。 The readouts on the sensors were displayed on a bank of instruments to the left。
Harry came in。 〃Getting anything yet?〃
Tina shook her head。 〃So far; nothing。〃
〃Has Ted e back?〃
〃No;〃 Norman said。 〃Teds still there。〃
