"Oh, sure!" Peer said, anxious to please. "Yes, sir! I know that!"
"WHERE?" said both voices together, chorusing for the third time.
"It's that big Mound over there," Peer said; and Channok started nervously. "It's got a big door on top. No," she added, "I guess you can't see from down here—and you can't see from the ship. That's why I came out. To watch for'm. But you can see it plain from the top of the rocks."
"That would be the old reservoir or whatever it was we passed back there," said the deep voice.
"That's right," said Peer. "That's just what Flauval called it at lunch! The word you said. There was water there oncet, she said. They flew the boxes over with jets, but they'll be back before it's dark, they said."
There was a brief silence.
"Scares me when it's dark, it does!" grumbled the idiot-child.
"Well, that ties it up!" the deep voice said, satisfied. "It's the exact kind of stunt Flauval would try. But she's outsmarted herself, this time!"
"How do you figure on handling it?" Nasal-voice inquired.
