 What was Peter's occupation?
I do not think it was what Peter called an emotion; and yet it had nothing to do with logic, either. I did not even wish that Peter were not dead, for reason had told me that he had to die. Out there, away from the muffling, distorting, damnable blanket of atmosphere, away from Earth's inexorable gravitational pull, would be a laboratory such as man had never seen. They have treated us precisely as we, in less enlightened days, might have treated a newly-discovered race of lower animals. Peter took it in fifteen seconds, running, and stumbled to a halt in front of the door marked "Radiation." It was a street scene in the Science City of Manhattan, flooded by the warm spring sunshine.
