Chapter II
Twin blue-and-silver Federation banners marked the place of the high commissioner of all the asteroids. His table stood at the far end of the vast room that had been _Ktar_ Wassreck's workshop. Other tables radiated out in a great arc from it--tables crowded with officers of the Federation fleet. Heavy-thewed Uranian _daus_ sat side by side with slim reptilian _Pervods_. Transmi of Venus, all ear-stalks and sucking tubes, faced rubbery, flat-featured Europans.
