Chapter III
"If you're instructing me so I can carry on should you be killed, I doubt that it's worth while!" Huyghens felt in his pack and unfolded the enlargements he'd made of the space photos of this part of the planet. He carefully oriented the map with distant landmarks. He drew a painstakingly accurate line across the photo. "The SOS signal comes from somewhere close to the robot colony," he reported.
