Tortha Karf looked at her sharply. "You sure you know what you're doing,
Dalla?" he asked.
"Of course I'm sure. I know that girl better than she knows herself. I
narco-hypped her, remember.
Zinna's the kind of a sister I've always wished I'd had."
"Well, that's all right then. But about this marriage. She was in love with
Salgath Trod," Tortha Karf said.
"Now, she's identifying Agent Kostran with him "
"She was in love with the kind of man Salgath could have been if he hadn't
gotten into this Organization filth," Dalla replied. "Galth is that kind of a
man. They'll get along all right."
"Well, she'll qualify on IQ and general psych rating for Citizenship. I'll say
that. And she's the kind of girl I
like to see my boys take up with. Like you, Dalla. Yes, of course; take them
along with you. Sicily's big enough that two couples won't get in each others'
way."
A phone-robot, its slender metal stem topped by a metal globe, slid into the
room on its ball-rollers, moving falteringly, like a blind man. It could sense
Tortha Karf's electro-encephalic wave-patterns, but it was having trouble
locating the source. They all sat motionless, waiting; finally it came over to
Tortha
Karf's chair and stopped. He unhooked the phone and held a lengthy
whispered conversation with somebody before replacing it.
"Now, there," he explained to Dalla. "That's a sample of why we
have to set up this duplicate organization. Revolution just broke out at
Ftanna, on Third Level Tsorshay Sector; a lot of our people, mostly tourists
and students, are cut off from their conveyers by street fighting. Going to
be a pretty bloody business getting them out." He finished his drink and got
to his feet. "Sit still; I just have to make a few screen-calls. Send the
robot for something to eat, Vall. I'll be right back."
