ARRIVALS AND DEPARTURES
Spaceport Chicago, February 26, 2168.... DEPARTING—Spaceliner
American Beauty, Galactic Spaceways, for Mars. Scheduled to arrive
Spaceport New Dallas May 14. Eighty-seven passengers. Captain
Anthony Kostov in Command.

FROM THE ASSOCIATED PRESS


BULLETIN
THE SPACELINER AMERICAN BEAUTY CRASHED IN FLAMES
TODAY ON THE LANDING FIELD AT NEW DALLAS, MARS.
OFFICIALS OF GALACTIC SPACEWAYS STATED THAT LOSS OF
LIFE WAS QUOTE LIMITED UNQUOTE. NO FURTHER DETAILS
IMMEDIATELY AVAILABLE.

TRANSCRIPT
May 27, 2168—The following conversation between the spaceliner
American Beauty and GCA, Spaceport New Dallas, Mars, was recorded
5/14/2168 and played at the official inquiry today:
KOSTOV: Calling GCA. This is Kostov in American Beauty calling
GCA New Dallas. Do you read me? Come in, GCA. Over.
GCA: GCA to American Beauty. You're in the screen. Come in. All clear
for landing. Over.
KOSTOV: Check. Coming in. Speed now ten thousand. Over.
GCA: You are now visible in northern sky. Will have drink ready. Over.
KOSTOV: That you, Ralph?
GCA: Yeah, Tony. Welcome back. Will you have that with soda or on the
rocks?
KOSTOV: Straight, with a blonde chaser, if you don't mind. You say you
can see me?
GCA: Like Sirius on a clear night. Only one problem.
KOSTOV: What's that?
GCA: You're smack in between me and that girl in Omaha. I wish you
wouldn't block the view like that.
KOSTOV: I'll take my hat off. Better?
GCA: Much. Say, what's that light on your starboard side?
KOSTOV: Light? There shouldn't be any....
(AN EXPLOSION, FOLLOWED BY SOUND OF ROARING FLAME)
GCA: Tony! What happened? GCA calling American Beauty!
JENSEN: Stewardess to pilot! Stewardess to pilot! The starboard fuel
tank's exploded! Fire in passageway!
KOSTOV: Activate all extinguishers—clear the passengers forward—
I'm going to close the emergency bulkheads.
GCA: My God, it's a ball of fire! Tony, can you make it?
KOSTOV: I can make anything. If it gets hot enough I'll spit on it and
put it out—Pilot to naviga-
NOTE: At this point American Beauty's radio went out.
BOARD FINDING: Flippant attitude of ship-to-port conversation to be
deplored. On the basis of this and other evidence, however, the official
finding of this Board is No Negligence. Accident due solely to
mechanical failure.

GALACTIC SPACEWAYS, INC.


Office of the Personnel Director
6/4/68
STRICTLY CONFIDENTIAL:
Interviewed employee A. Kostov relative to the unfortunate business of
5/14/68 in which thirty-six passengers and two crewmen lost their lives.
Gave him the news that he is through as a pilot, due to the fact that we
feel the experience has broken his nerve. Offered him a desk job, which
he declined as expected. Accepted his resignation, effective immediately.
COMMENT: Entire incident most unfortunate. Understand that the Line
might lose passengers to Interplanetary Transport Service if the
American Beauty pilot continued to operate our ships, but regret this loss
of a valuable employee. Of course he will not be taken on by any other
line, but the profession will be the poorer for the absence of this talented,
fearless pilot. On the personal level, hope that this man of whom all
associates were fond will not take out his understandable bitterness in
any violent manner.—A. J. Bannerman, Director of Personnel
DEATH KNELL OF SPACESHIPS SEEN POSSIBLE
New York, Sept. 12—Speculation was rife in scientific circles this week
over reports that a workable converter-transmitter may soon be a
practical reality. Should this prove true the spaceship, a travel fixture for
two centuries, would soon be obsolete.
The principle of the converter-transmitter, long known to scientific
enthusiasts, is that of television carried a step farther. As television
converts voices and images into electrical impulses and beams them to a
receiving set which reassembles the picture and voice which started out,
solid objects are converted, transmitted and reassembled by this
mechanism.
Clearly, workable converter-transmitters would quickly cause the
spaceship to become outmoded, as they would transmit anything and
everything at the speed of light. The moon could be reached in less than
two seconds, Mars in four minutes.
The great question is whether humans could endure the stress of such an
experience. The current speculation has been caused by rumors that a
leading scientific foundation has secretly started human experimentation
with a converter-transmitter.

PEIFFER SCIENCE FOUNDATION


PROGRESS REPORT
PROJECT 3889, NICHOLAS GARSKI, DIRECTOR
12 SEPT., 2168
Concluded interviewing of volunteers. Believe the right man has been
found. Name—Anthony Kostov. Claims to be a former space pilot. Feel
that he is the perfect subject—age 28, physically and morally tough.
Most important, however, he is obviously under a compulsion to prove
his courage, due to some incident in his recent past. This compulsion
should prove helpful in case he learns what happened to Sartorius—
Garski.

REPORT
FROM : Council Member #7
TO : The Science Council
SUBJECT: Peiffer Converter-Transmitter
1. Verified rumor that Nicholas Garski, director of experiment, plans to
use human subject again, despite Council ruling after the Sartorius
incident. He admits this intention, defies Council to stop him.
2. Ruled that all activity in connection with this experiment be halted
pending investigation and ruling of the full Council.
3. Strongly urge that:
a. Garski be permanently restrained from further experimentation with
the converter-transmitter, as he has proved himself irresponsibly
reckless.
b. The machine be impounded, since neither the Foundation nor its agent
Garski have exhibited restraint in their handling of this tremendous force
or respect for the edicts of this Council.
c. That Anthony Kostov, the proposed human subject, be acquainted with
the facts in the case of Steven Sartorius.

MEMORANDUM
FROM: The Science Council
TO : Anthony Kostov, c/o Peiffer Science Foundation
The attached medical record is forwarded for your attention.
(Signed) Robert Shepard, President
STATE NEURO-PSYCHIATRIC HOSPITAL
EVANSTON, ILL.
Case History 8739
Name__Sartorius, Steven
Date of Admission__Dec. 18, 2166
Age at Date of Admission__25
Patient was employed by Peiffer Science Foundation as electronic
engineer for six years, following graduation summa cum laude from
Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Worked under Dr. Nicholas
Garski on the Peiffer converter-transmitter for the three years
immediately prior to his mental collapse. No evidence of psychiatric
disturbance during these years, in college or in childhood.
On Dec. 15, 2166, Sartorius placed himself in the converter-transmitter
and acted as a human guinea pig in an experiment. Appeared dazed but
unhurt after the experience and was placed in bed. Arose late at night,
however, and returned to the laboratory.
Questioned by a night watchman, he attacked and strangled the man. In
the morning he was found, in excellent spirits, working on the machine.
At his feet was the dead body of the watchman.
Patient cannot be classified as paranoic, as there are no persecution
delusions, nor does he exhibit symptoms of hebephrenia or catatonia. Is
cool, lucid at all times, but totally unable to distinguish right from
wrong. Inclines toward capricious violent outbursts of the most vicious
sort, as above.
Diagnosis: Insane, Unclassified. Dangerous.
Prognosis: Incurable.

PROGRESS REPORT
PROJECT 3889, NICHOLAS GARSKI, DIRECTOR
27 SEPT., 2168
Those bumbling amateurs on the Science Council are throwing every
possible roadblock in my path. But they will not stop me. A Council
member inspected the laboratory last week, ordered me to suspend all
operations, even took care that the complete medical dossier on Sartorius
was sent to my volunteer. When the volunteer showed it to me I freely
admitted the accuracy of the record. Told him that if he were afraid, he
could withdraw and I would understand. This brought him quickly into
line. My theory as to his compulsion was evidently well-founded. As to
the suspension of operations, I shall see to it that it is strictly temporary.
—Garski

Mr. Robert Shepard


Personal
It is regrettable that your organization has seen fit to interfere with my
work. If it comes to the hearing before the full Council, I suppose I shall
be forced to bring out the facts about some unfortunate medical
experiments at the University forty-two years ago. Of course this might
not bother the august President of the Council. Perhaps he likes to be
reminded of carefree student days....

DIRECTIVE
FROM: THE PRESIDENT OF THE SCIENCE COUNCIL
TO : All Members
29 SEPT., 2168
SUSPENSION OF OPERATIONS ON PROJECT 3889, PEIFFER
SCIENCE FOUNDATION, IS REVOKED EFFECTIVE
IMMEDIATELY AND EXPERIMENTATION WILL BE PERMITTED
TO PROCEED UNHINDERED. SHEPARD, PRESIDENT.

Mr. Ralph Watson


Ground Control Approach Division
Spaceport New Dallas, Mars
Dear Ralph:
I may be seeing you sooner than you expect. Maybe you've read the
rumors about converter-transmitter experiments in the facsimile papers.
Well, that's me, baby. I'm the human cannonball that they're going to
shoot through space.
You've heard of the Peiffer Foundation. They turned out that stepped-up
atomic fuel a couple of years ago. Well, they're my new bosses, and an
old bird by the name of Garski is getting ready to load me into his
cannon. And the target is Mars.
So if you hear somebody go shooting by your window one of these
nights, hollering, "Look, Ma—no rocket ship!" that'll be your old buddy.
I'm not exactly crazy about this Garski character—he looks at you like
you were an interesting smear under a microscope—but I'm not getting
paid to love him. I'm getting paid to take a chance, and the money's good
—enough to buy me a tramp ship so I can start my own little line when
this is over.
And speaking of lines, tell our friend Bannerman I'll be glad to hold him
on my lap on the return trip—that is, if he's got the nerve.
See you soon, buddy.
Tony

PROGRESS REPORT
PROJECT 3889, NICHOLAS GARSKI, DIRECTOR
4 OCT., 2168
All is in readiness for the final step in the experiment. The volunteer has
signed a waiver of all claims save that of payment, the mechanism has
been triple-checked in test runs with inanimate solids. Tomorrow at
approximately 2:30 p.m. Central Standard Time the Earth will come into
the ideal juxtaposition with Mars. I am confident that the adjustments I
have made in the resistor coils and elsewhere will eliminate all shock to
the subject and success will be mine. But twenty-four hours from now
and a galaxy will echo to the name of—Garski

FINAL REPORT
PROJECT 3889, NICHOLAS GARSKI, DIRECTOR
5 OCT., 2168
(Note: This report made by Laboratory Technician D. J. Williams in the
absence of Dr. Garski, for the record. Complete report will be made by
the Doctor upon his return.)
Project 3889 was today completed. Result: Failure. The subject Kostov
has been found insane and removed under guard. Dr. Garski left the
laboratory in a highly agitated state immediately after the experiment and
has not returned. It might be observed by one who was present at both
experiments that the eyes of the subject Kostov were of the same lifeless
glassiness as those of Sartorius after the first experiment in '66.

UNIDENTIFIED BODY DISCOVERED


Chicago, Oct. 6—The body of an elderly man was found floating in Lake
Michigan this morning by fishermen. There was no identification on the
body, but the clothing seemed to indicate a hospital or laboratory worker.
Suicide was indicated by an unsigned note in a pocket reading, "I know
now what I have done and it is unthinkable."

The Journal of Steven Sartorius


Oct. 6, 2168.... There is another nearby like myself. I can feel its
presence. This is great news—the time approaches! Soon I will no longer
have to while away the hours by writing these pages and then destroying
them before the guards come around. For this other must sense my
presence too, and working together, we will quickly escape this house of
madness.
They have put it in the compartment next to mine. That is excellent. I
will communicate with it by wall-taps, and we will soon devise a code.
Once this is done, I will communicate to it my plan for overpowering the
night guard and we will be away from this place.
Away—free—free of these fools who class us with lunatics. And of them
all, Garski was the greatest fool. I hear the guards in the hall saying he
destroyed himself when the second experiment failed.
Failed, he thought! A fool to the end. It succeeded! Just as the first one
did, it succeeded.
An answer so beautifully simple, and he never saw it. Garski the
perfectionist, meticulously checking each last detail. And not seeing the
most important fact of all.
Of course the machine works—up to a point. The body that is assembled
in the receiving set is physically complete. Atoms and molecules can be
converted into electrical impulses and beamed through space, for atoms
and molecules are solids. But a soul is not.
There is more to a man than atoms and molecules, and that is why I am
not a man, although I have a man's body. Thanks to Garski's machine, I
am the first of all time to be free of that foul encumbrance men call a
soul. The chains of conscience struck off, I am free to destroy those who
oppose me, to kill—to conquer!
Yes—conquer. For there will be more of us when we have escaped this
prison. I know how to build the machine. And I hear the guards saying
this other is strong and bold. That is well. What a combination we will
make, I to create the supermen of tomorrow and my new brother to lead
them! A terrible army of soulless creatures to enslave these weaklings
that call themselves men.
Wait! Do I hear a faint tapping? Yes, it is trying to contact me already. I
come, brother, I come...!

To All Staff Members—CONFIDENTIAL
The escape of the inmates Sartorius and Kostov will not be discussed
with members of the press. The salient facts, i. e. vital statistics on the
dead guard Rasmussen, exact time of the escape, etc., have already been
announced by this office and it is felt that further discussion of the matter
would only lead to unnecessary speculation.

contain “Defects,” such as, but not limited to, incomplete, inaccurate or

Section 2. Information about the Mission of Project


Gutenberg™

Project Gutenberg™ is synonymous with the free distribution of


electronic works in formats readable by the widest variety of computers
including obsolete, old, middle-aged and new computers. It exists
because of the efforts of hundreds of volunteers and donations from
people in all walks of life.

Volunteers and financial support to provide volunteers with the


assistance they need are critical to reaching Project Gutenberg™’s goals
and ensuring that the Project Gutenberg™ collection will remain freely
available for generations to come. In 2001, the Project Gutenberg
Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a secure and
permanent future for Project Gutenberg™ and future generations. To
learn more about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation and
how your efforts and donations can help, see Sections 3 and 4 and the
Foundation information page at www.gutenberg.org.

Section 4. Information about Donations to the Project


Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation

Project Gutenberg™ depends upon and cannot survive without


widespread public support and donations to carry out its mission of
increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be
freely distributed in machine-readable form accessible by the widest
array of equipment including outdated equipment. Many small donations
($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt
status with the IRS.

The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating


charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United States.
Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a considerable
effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up with these
requirements. We do not solicit donations in locations where we have not
received written confirmation of compliance. To SEND DONATIONS or
determine the status of compliance for any particular state visit
www.gutenberg.org/donate.

While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we


have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition
against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who
approach us with offers to donate.
International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make any
statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from outside
the United States. U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff.

Please check the Project Gutenberg web pages for current donation
methods and addresses. Donations are accepted in a number of other
ways including checks, online payments and credit card donations. To
donate, please visit: www.gutenberg.org/donate.

Section 5. General Information About Project


Gutenberg™ electronic works

Professor Michael S. Hart was the originator of the Project Gutenberg™


concept of a library of electronic works that could be freely shared with
anyone. For forty years, he produced and distributed Project
Gutenberg™ eBooks with only a loose network of volunteer support.

Project Gutenberg™ eBooks are often created from several printed


editions, all of which are confirmed as not protected by copyright in the
U.S. unless a copyright notice is included. Thus, we do not necessarily
keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper edition.

Most people start at our website which has the main PG search facility:
www.gutenberg.org.

This website includes information about Project Gutenberg™, including


how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive
Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to subscribe
to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks.
