"You'll discover that members of your Project have given this planet another name," he concluded. "But don't let it disturb you."
Nina spoke up suddenly.
"The name is—It's Mendel's Planet!"
A muscle twitched in Huth's bronze cheek. "How did you know that?"
She shook her head.
"I never know how. Things just come to me. Sometimes I say—said things to my customers at the Blue Grotto, and they would ask me the same thing. How do I know?" She shrugged her strong shoulders. "How does anyone know they know anything?"
Huth and Dr. Thame exchanged quick glances.
"Very interesting," said Huth. He moved toward the door. "We will send for you in two hours for your basic family record test."
"Basic fam—." Lucifer choked on the word. He asked bleakly. "What might that be?"
"It will be elementary to you, Dr. Brill. Just a basic psi-card test. We have your record, of course, but for purposes of standardization, we always start a new family's record in this manner. You undoubtedly will score rather close to your high test score on Earth."
