〃Never mind。 Just ask him who he is。〃

WHO ARE YOU?

I AM ONE。

〃Good;〃 Barnes said。 〃So theres only one。 Ask him where hes from。〃

WHERE ARE YOU FROM?

I AM FROM A LOCATION。

〃Ask him the name;〃 Barnes said。 〃The name of the location。〃

〃Hal; names are confusing。〃

〃We have to pin this guy down!〃

WHERE IS THE LOCATION YOU ARE FROM?

I AM HERE。

〃We know that。 Ask again。〃

WHERE IS THE LOCATION FROM WHERE YOU BEGAN?

Ted said; 〃That isnt even good English; from where you began。 Its going to look foolish when we publish this exchange。〃

〃Well clean it up for publication;〃 Barnes said。

〃But you cant do that;〃 Ted said; horrified。 〃You cant alter this priceless scientific interaction。〃

''189'' 〃Happens all the time。 What do you guys call it? Massaging the data。 〃

Harry was typing again。

WHERE IS THE LOCATION FROM WHERE YOU BEGAN?

I BEGAN AT AWARENESS。

〃Awareness? Is that a planet or what?〃

WHERE IS AWARENESS?

AWARENESS IS。

〃Hes making us look like fools;〃 Barnes said。

Ted said; 〃Let me try。〃

Harry stepped aside; and Ted typed; DID YOU MAKE A JOURNEY?

YES。 DID YOU MAKE A JOURNEY?

YES; Ted typed。

I MAKE A JOURNEY。 YOU MAKE A JOURNEY。 WE MAKE A JOURNEY TOGETHER。 I AM HAPPY。

Norman thought; He said he is happy。 Another expression of emotion; and this time it didnt seem to e from a book。 The statement appeared direct and genuine。 Did that mean that the alien had emotions? Or was he just pretending to have them; to be playful or to make them fortable?

〃Lets cut the crap;〃 Barnes said。 〃Ask him about his weapons。〃

〃I doubt hell understand the concept of weapons。〃

〃Everybody understands the concept of weapons;〃 Barnes said。 〃Defense is a fact of life。〃

〃I must protest that attitude;〃 Ted said。 〃Military people always assume that everyone else is exactly like them。 This alien may not have the least conception of weapons or defense。 He may e from a world where defense is wholly irrelevant。〃
