〃You can mention that to Captain Barnes; sir。〃
They ducked through a door; moving out of the hot sun into a fluorescent…lit hallway。 It was much cooler。 〃Air conditioning hasnt gone out lately;〃 the officer said。 〃At least thats something。〃
〃Does the air conditioning go out often?〃
〃Only when its hot。〃
Through another door; and into a large workroom: metal walls; racks of tools; acetylene torches spraying sparks as workmen hunched over metal pontoons and pieces of intricate machinery; cables snaking over the floor。 〃We do ROV repairs here;〃 the officer said; shouting over the din。 〃Most of the heavy work is done on the tenders。 We just do some of the electronics here。 We go this way; sir。〃
Through another door; down another corridor; and into a wide; low…ceilinged room crammed with video monitors。 A ''8'' half…dozen technicians sat in shadowy half…darkness before the color screens。 Norman paused to look。
〃This is where we monitor the ROVs;〃 the officer said。 〃Weve got three or four robots down on the bottom at any given time。 Plus the MSBs and the FDs; of course。〃
Norman heard the crackle and hiss of radio munications; soft fragments of words he couldnt make out。 On one screen he saw a diver walking on the bottom。 The diver was standing in harsh artificial light; wearing a kind of suit Norman had never seen; heavy blue cloth and a brightyellow helmet sculpted in an odd shape。
Norman pointed to the screen。 〃How deep is he?〃
〃I dont know。 Thousand; twelve hundred feet; something like that。〃
〃And what have they found?〃
〃So far; just the big titanium fin。〃 The officer glanced around。 〃It doesnt read on any monitors now。 Bill; can you show Dr。 Johnson here the fin?〃
〃Sorry; sir;〃 the technician said。 〃Present MainOps is working north of there; in quadrant seven。〃
〃Ah。 Quad sevens almost half a mile away from the fin;〃 the officer said to Norman。 〃Too bad: its a hell of a thing to see。 But youll see it later; Im sure。 This way to Captain Barnes。〃
They walked for a moment down the corridor; then the officer said; 〃Do you know the Captain; sir?〃
〃No; why?〃
〃Just wondered。 Hes been very eager to see you。 Calling up the techs every hour; to find out when youre arriving。〃
〃No;〃 Norman said; 〃Ive never met him。〃
〃Very nice man。〃
〃I m sure。〃
The officer glanced over his shoulder。 〃You know; they have a saying about the Captain;〃 he said。
〃Oh? Whats that?〃
〃They say his bite is worse than his bark。〃

''9'' Through another door; which was marked 〃Project mander〃 and had beneath that a sliding plate that said 〃Capt。 Harold C。 Barnes; USN。〃 The officer stepped aside; and Norman entered a paneled stateroom。 A burly man in shirtsleeves stood up from behind a stack of files。
Captain Barnes was one of those trim military men who made Norman feel fat and inadequate。 In his middle forties; Hal Barnes had erect military bearing; an alert expression; short hair; a flat gut; and a politicians firm handshake。
〃Wele aboard the Hawes; Dr。 Johnson。 Howre you feeling?〃
〃Tired;〃 Norman said。
