It was a whole week before the Lhari ship warmed
up to shoot off in warp-drive, and all that time young Bart Steele had stayed
secluded in his cabin. He was so bored with his own company that -- for just a
moment -- the Mentorian medic was a welcome sight when he came to prepare him
for "cold-sleep."
The Mentorian paused, needle in hand. "Are you still sure you don't wish to be
wakened when we tug in to land on the first three star systems, sir?"
Bart felt tempted -- he wanted very much to see the other star systems. But he
couldn't risk meeting other passengers. He fought down his eagerness and
nodded. "I'm sure."
The needle went into his arm.
Bart realized he would be entirely helpless for the entire
trip. The ship would touch down on three worlds, and on any one of them the
Lhari might have his description, or his alias!
He could be taken off the ship,
unconscious,
and never even know it.
He might not ever wake up!
Bart tried to move,
to scream that he had changed his mind,
but he couldn't.
There was that long,
freezing moment
of intense cold
-- and then -- nothing....
nothing....
nothing....
