"Were attempts being made to safeguard against this unfortunate result, Dr. Klaus?"
Klaus nodded. "My department was working on a chemical method of insuring full recovery of mental powers. I don't know what's been done since my dismissal."
"He's lying!" Raymond shouted. "His group never had anything to do with—"
"Please, Mr. Raymond," Brewster said fiercely. "Your outburst is uncalled-for."
To Klaus he said, "Do you feel that this hazard of the reanimation process can be overcome in the course of further research?"
"Definitely. But the present management of the laboratories is heading in the wrong direction. They've rejected my ideas—which were close to being perfected—and instead chose to suppress the whole affair."
Harker felt his pulse mounting. Klaus seemed icily calm up there, speaking now with cold precision—most unusual for him. He sounded as if he had rehearsed this speech all morning.
Brewster said, "It would seem to me that the directors of the Beller Laboratories were guilty of an act of bad faith. Wouldn't you agree, Dr. Klaus?"
"Definitely, sir."
"Thank you. We would like to hear from Mr. James Harker, now."
