"Don't take it too hard. I'm still the big publisher. I'll see that your case reaches the public in the proper light. You'll be a victim of Patrol politics, thrown out because of personal pettiness over practical action."
"That may help."
"They'll never stand for it."
"You should know."
"I do. Now look, Guy. Will you take the Loki and head for Pluto? Get lost there on Pluto; hire out as a workman. When the time is ripe, you'll know and can come back. I'm not going to see my friend broken because of their high-handed methods."
"That's offering a lot."
"Not at all. I can pick the Loki up there. Right at the present time you'd get nowhere if you stay on Terra; your face is known to every man, woman, and child on the planet."
"But—"
"Go to Pluto, Guy. Out there they will not demand ten years of references before you apply for a job."
Guy faced Kane once more. "Was I right?" he asked.
