inary Sony color…television set and hed run screaming; claiming it was witchcraft。 He wouldnt understand it at all。
〃But the point;〃 Ted said; 〃is that you couldnt explain it to him; either。 At least not easily。 Isaac Newton wouldnt be able to understand TV without first studying our physics for a couple of years。 Hed have to learn all the underlying concepts: electromagnetism; waves; particle physics。 These would all be new ideas to him; a new conception of nature。 In the meantime; the TV would be magic as far as he was concerned。 But to us its ordinary。 Its TV。〃
〃Youre saying were like Isaac Newton?〃
Ted shrugged。 〃Were getting a munication and we dont know how its done。〃
〃And we shouldnt bother to try and find out。〃
〃I think we have to accept the possibility;〃 Ted said; 〃that we may not be able to understand it。〃
Norman noticed the energy with which they threw themselves into this discussion; pushing aside the tragedy so recently witnessed。 Theyre intellectuals; he thought; and their characteristic defense is intellectualization。 Talk。 Ideas。 Abstractions。 Concepts。 It was a way of getting distance from the feelings of sadness and fear and being trapped。 Norman understood the impulse: he wanted to get away from those feelings himself。
Harry frowned at the spiral image。 〃We may not ''169'' understand how; but its obvious what its doing。 Its trying to municate by trying different presentations。 The fact that its trying spirals may be significant。 Maybe it believes we think in spirals。 Or write in spirals。〃
〃Right;〃 Beth said。 〃Who knows what kind of weird creatures we are?〃
Ted said; 〃If its trying to municate with us; why arent we trying to municate back?〃
Harry snapped his fingers。 〃Good idea!〃 He went to the keyboard。
〃Theres an obvious first step;〃 Harry said。 〃We just send the original message back。 Well start with the first grouping; beginning with the double zeroes。〃
〃I want it made clear;〃 Ted said; 〃that the suggestion to attempt munication with the alien originated with me。〃
〃Its clear; Ted;〃 Barnes said。
〃Harry?〃 Ted said。
〃Yes; Ted;〃 Harry said。 〃Dont worry; its your idea。〃
Sitting at the keyboard; Harry typed:
00032125252632
The numbers appeared on the screen。 There was a pause。 They listened to the hum of the air fans; the distant thump of the diesel generator。 They all watched the screen。
Nothing happened。
The screen went blank; and then printed out:
0001132121051808012232
Norman felt the hair rise on the back of his neck。
It was just a series of numbers on a puter screen; but it still gave him a chill。 Standing beside him; Tina shivered。 〃He answered us。〃
〃Fabulous;〃 Ted said。
〃Ill try the second grouping now;〃 Harry said。 He seemed calm; but his fingers kept making mistakes at the keyboard。 It took a few moments before he was able to type:
032629
The reply immediately came back:
0015260805180810213
〃Well;〃 Harry said; 〃looks like we just opened our line of munication。〃
''170'' 〃Yes;〃 Beth said。 〃Too bad we dont understand what were saying to each other。〃
〃Presumably it knows what its saying;〃 Ted said。 〃But were still in the dark。〃
〃Maybe we can get it to explain itself。〃
Impatiently; Barnes said; 〃What is this it you keep referring to?〃
Harry sighed; and pushed his glasses up on his nose。 〃I think theres no doubt about that。 It;〃 Harry said; 〃is something that was previously inside the sphere; and that is now released; and is free to act。 Thats what it is。〃
THE MONSTER
ALARM
Norman awoke to a shrieking alarm and flashing red lights。 He rolled out of his bunk; pulled on his insulated shoes and his heated jacket; and ran for the door; where he collided with Beth。 The alarm was screaming throughout the habitat。
〃Whats happening!〃 he shouted; over the alarm。
