 When did the Nilly first strike?
[Transcriber's Note: This etext was produced from Worlds of If Science Fiction, November 1959. Sure I'm a Nilly, and I've died seven times, always in the blackness of the outer reaches, and I'm not alone, although there aren't very many of us, never were. It ended with passengers engaging in open warfare with each other and the crew. Being a Nilly is important, probably as important as running the ship, and I think it is this thought that keeps us satisfied, willing to be what we are. The theft of Carver Janssen's attache case occurred on the thirty-first day out.
