Norman felt slightly uneasy。 〃Whatre they doing here?〃

〃I dont know。 What do shrimps do; anyway? Do they migrate?〃

〃Damned if I know;〃 Barnes said。 〃I always buy em frozen。 My wife hates to peel em。〃

Norman remained uneasy; though he could not say why。 He could clearly see now that the bottom was covered in shrimps; they were everywhere。 Why should it bother him?

Norman moved away from the window; hoping his sense of vague uneasiness would go away if he looked at something else。 But it didnt go away; it just stayed there…a small tense knot in the pit of his stomach。 He didnt like the feeling at all。

HARRY

〃Harry。〃

〃Oh; hi; Norman。 I heard the excitement。 Lot of shrimps outside; is that it?〃

Harry sat on his bunk; with the paper printout of numbers on his knees。 He had a pencil and pad; and the page was covered with calculations; scratchouts; symbols; arrows。

〃Harry;〃 Norman said; 〃whats going on?〃

〃Damned if I know。〃

〃Im just wondering why we should suddenly be finding life down here…the squid; the shrimps…when before there was nothing。 Ever。〃

〃Oh; that。 I think thats pretty clear。〃

〃Yes?〃

〃Sure。 Whats different between then and now?〃

〃Youve been inside the sphere。〃

〃No; no。 I mean; whats different in the outside environment?〃

Norman frowned。 He didnt grasp what Harry was driving at。

〃Well; just look outside;〃 Harry said。 〃What could you see before that you cant see now?〃

〃The grid?〃

〃Uh…huh。 The grid and the divers。 Lot of activity…and a lot of electricity。 I think it scared off the normal fauna of the area。 This is the South Pacific; you know; it ought to be teeming with life。〃

〃And now that the divers are gone; the animals are back?〃

〃Thats my guess。〃

〃Thats all there is to it?〃 Norman said; frowning。

〃Why are you asking me?〃 Harry said。 〃Ask Beth; shell give you a definitive answer。 But I know animals are sensitive to all kinds of stimuli we dont notice。 You cant run God knows how many million volts through underwater cables; to light a half…mile grid in an environment that has never seen light before; and not expect to have an effect。〃

''154'' Something about this argument tickled the back of Normans mind。 He knew something; something pertinent。 But he couldnt get it。

〃Harry。〃

〃Yes; Norman。 You look a little worried。 You know; this substitution code is really a bitch。 Ill tell you the truth; Im not sure Ill be able to crack it。 You see; the problem is; if it is a letter substitution; you will need two digits to describe a single letter; because there are twenty…six letters in the alphabet; assuming no punctuation…which may or may not be included here as well。 So when I see a two next to a three; I dont know if it is letter two followed by letter three; or just letter twenty…three。 Its taking a long time to work through the permutations。 You see what I mean?〃

〃Harry。〃

〃Yes; Norman。〃

〃What happened inside the sphere?〃

〃Is that what youre worried about?〃 Harry asked。
