 Why do Lloyd and Jones shoot at the narrator?
A you-are-there type of report? I've met all but the pilot (he's very busy today), and they seem friendly enough. Jones (that's the co-pilot; I didn't quite catch his first name) is scarlet-faced, barrel-chested and gives the general appearance of belonging under the spreading chestnut tree, not in a metal bullet flinging itself out into airless space. The navigator's name is Lloyd Streeter, but I haven't seen his face yet. He keeps bent low over a welded-to-the-wall (they call it the bulkhead, for some reason or other) table, scratching away with a ballpoint pen on the maps, and now and then calling numbers over a microphone to the pilot. So far, he's still Captain Desmond to me. Jones (I still haven't learned his first name) has been up with the pilot all day. I asked to look, but he said not yet; the instrument panel is Top Secret. October 3, 1960 I still don't know Jones' first name, though Pat spoke to him, and it sounded like Flants. Also, I am one of the first five men in the history of the world to see the opposite side of the Moon, with a bluish blurred crescent beyond it that Pat said was the Earth. Actually, he explained to me, the screen is supposed to keep the image of space locked into place no matter how much we spin. Lloyd mistook my queen-button for my bishop-button and left his king in jeopardy, and I checkmated him next move. When I got back to my compartment, Lloyd had taken away the chessboard and all his buttons. He says it may prove to be environmentally accurate, but that I should stick to prose. October 5, 1960 Learned Jones' first name. It seems to be descending from overhead, but Pat says that that's the "torque" doing it. No sign of canals, but Pat says that's because of the dust storm down below. Pat gave him a cigar he'd smuggled on board (no smoking was allowed on the ship), and Jones threw it away. Told him what happened, and he told Kroger. Kroger said to try and walk toward where the ship seemed to be, even when it wasn't in view, and meantime they'd come out after me in the jeep, following my footprints. Finally saw the real ship, and Lloyd and Jones waving their arms at me.
 There was an alien lifeform following the narrator.
 After almost 9 months trapped on the ship together, the entire crew wanted to kill the narrator.  Lloyd and Jones were hallucinating and thought the narrator was an enemy combatant.  Lloyd and Jones were trying to scare the narrator.  There was an alien lifeform following the narrator.
