"I don't know. But the projector range-finders are up there, and I think it's the signal room."
"Suppose we go up and see? Gregg, Miko's signals might start any minute."

I hated to leave them: if anything happened and we had to make a sudden dash, there would be no time to garb ourselves in the suits. To adjust the helmets was bad enough.
I whispered swiftly, "We must get into our suits—find some pretext." I drew her back through the cubby doorway where we would be more secluded.
"Anita, listen: I've been a fool not to plan our escape more carefully! We're in too great a danger here."
It seemed to me suddenly that we were in desperate plight. Was it premonition?
"Anita, listen: if anything happens and we have to make a dash—"
"Up through that dome-lock, Gregg? It's a manual control; you can see the levers."
