Connel flopped back in his chair, relaxed again. He looked at Walters. "Send Steve out there and we'll find out what's going on," he said confidently.
Walters looked at Strong. "When are the ships supposed to blast off for the race?"
"Tomorrow at 1800, sir."
"You planned to use the Polaris to monitor the race?"
"Yes, sir."
"Think we should send the Polaris unit out alone?"
"I have a better suggestion, sir," said Strong.
"Well?"

Walters looked at Connel. "What do you think, Major?"
