 What was the mission of Eckert and Templin?
[Transcriber's Note: This etext was produced from Galaxy Science Fiction August 1951. Eckert was just a dull, formless blur opposite him. Eckert had fiddled with the controls and changed it to sunshine, then to a weird mixture of hail amid the brassy, golden sunlight. Eckert and he had been chosen to go to Tunpesh and investigate. Warm breezes rustled through Eckert's graying hair and tugged gently at his tunic. They finally came out on the field and clustered around him and Templin. It was getting dark; Eckert opened one of the boxes they had brought along, took out an electric lantern and lighted it.
