He found Levine hanging off the port railing。 Levine came ''38'' from the oceanographic institute at Woods Hole; Massachusetts。 His hand was damp when Norman shook it。 Levine looked extremely ill at ease; and finally admitted that he was seasick。
〃Seasick? A marine biologist?〃 Norman said。
〃I work in the laboratory;〃 he said。 〃At home。 On land。 Where things dont move all the time。 Why are you smiling?〃
〃Sorry;〃 Norman said。
〃You think its funny; a seasick marine biologist?〃
〃Incongruous; I guess。〃
〃A lot of us get seasick;〃 Levine said。 He stared out at the sea。 〃Look out there;〃 he said。 〃Thousands of miles of flat。 Nothing。〃
〃The ocean。〃
〃It gives me the creeps;〃 Levine said。
〃So?〃 Barnes said; back in his office。 〃What do you think?〃
〃Of what?〃
〃Of the team; for Christs sake。〃
〃Its the team I chose; six years later。 Basically a good group; certainly very able。〃
〃I want to know who will crack。〃
〃Why should anybody crack?〃 Norman said。 He was looking at Barnes; noticing the thin line of sweat on his upper lip。 The mander was under a lot of pressure himself。
〃A thousand feet down?〃 Barnes said。 〃Living and working in a cramped habitat? Listen; its not like Im going in with military divers who have been trained and who have themselves under control。 Im taking a bunch of scientists; for Gods sake。 I want to make sure they all have a clean bill of health。 I want to make sure nobodys going to crack。〃
〃I dont know if you are aware of this; Captain; but psychologists cant predict that very accurately。 Who will crack。〃
〃Even when its from fear?〃
〃Whatever its from。〃
Barnes frowned。 〃I thought fear was your specialty。〃
''39'' 〃Anxiety is one of my research interests and I can tell you who; on the basis of personality profiles; is likely to suffer acute anxiety in a stress situation。 But I cant predict wholl crack under that stress and who wont。〃
〃Then what good are you?〃 Barnes said irritably。 He sighed。 〃Im sorry。 Dont you just want to interview them; or give them some tests?〃
〃There arent any tests;〃 Norman said。 〃At least; none that work。〃
Barnes sighed again。 〃What about Levine?〃
〃Hes seasick。〃
〃There isnt any motion underwater; that wont be a problem。 But what about him; personally?〃
〃Id be concerned;〃 Norman said。
〃Duly noted。 What about Harry Adams? Hes arrogant。〃
〃Yes;〃 Norman said。 〃But thats probably desirable。〃 Studies had shown that the people who were most successful at handling pressure were people others didnt like…individuals who were described as arrogant; cocksure; irritating。
〃Maybe so;〃 Barnes said。 〃But what about his famous research paper? Harry was one of the biggest supporters of SETI a few years back。 Now that weve found something; hes suddenly very negative。 You remember his paper?〃
Norman didnt; and was about to say so when an ensign came in。 〃Captain Barnes; here is the visual upgrade you wanted。〃
〃Okay;〃 Barnes said。 He squinted at a photograph; put it down。 〃What about the weather?〃
〃No change; sir。 Satellite reports are confirming we have forty…eight plus…minus twelve on site; sir。〃
