 What crime did Moran commit?
I. Moran cut apart the yard-long monstrosity with a slash of flame. Moran, naturally, did not mean to help in the carrying out of the plans which would mean his destruction one way or another. The plans were thrashed out very painstakingly, in formal conference on the space-yacht Nadine , with Moran present and allowed to take part in the discussion. Moran observed these things from the control-room of the Nadine , then approaching the world on planetary drive. Moran disagreed, but he did not answer. Moran, at least, would be picked out as a fugitive from Coryus Three. And Moran was the extra man whose presence would rouse space-port officials' suspicion of the rest.
