 Which term does NOT describe Moran's tone toward the other five crew members?
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. From the viewpoint of the Nadine's ship's company, it was simply necessary to get rid of Moran. Now it lay astern, and Moran could see the planet that had been chosen for his marooning. A water-ice ice-cap said that there were no poisonous gases in the planet's atmosphere. The fact was verified by the thick, dense cloud-masses which covered most of the surface,—all the surface, in fact, outside the ice-cap. But since there were ice-caps there would be temperate regions. In short, the ice-cap proved that a man could endure the air and temperature conditions he would find. Moran observed these things from the control-room of the Nadine , then approaching the world on planetary drive. Two of the Nadine's four-man crew watched out the same ports as the planet seemed to approach. Moran disagreed, but he did not answer. Without rigid control of space-travel, any criminal anywhere could escape the consequences of any crime simply by buying a ticket to another world. The trouble was that the Nadine had clearance papers covering five persons aboard—four men and a girl Carol. Wherever the yacht landed, such a disparity between its documents and its crew would spark an investigation. Moran, at least, would be picked out as a fugitive from Coryus Three. The others were fugitives too, from some unnamed world Moran did not know. In effect, with six people on board instead of five, the Nadine could not land anywhere for supplies. And Moran was the extra man whose presence would rouse space-port officials' suspicion of the rest. Blaster in hand, he'd made the Nadine take off from Coryus III with a trip-tape picked at random for guidance. A liner could re-locate itself without trouble. Only people accustomed to desperate actions would have remained so calm when Moran had used desperate measures against them. "I think," said Carol, to Moran, "that if it's too tropical where this signal's coming from, we'll take you somewhere near enough to the ice-cap to have an endurable climate.
