In the factoryâs security area, Channing and Hibbert stood looking at a small screen. Hibbert said: âYouâre sure it was Ransome? You didnât actually see him.â
Channing indicated the Auton, now once more standing in line with its fellows. âThe Auton saw him. It comes to the same thing.â Channing looked at Hibbert almost with pity. These humans with their limited, separate minds. How could they understand the essential unity of the Nestene consciousness? He touched a control and a bright cobwebby pattern appeared on the screen. âThe detection scanner has registered his brain-print.â
Hibbert looked frightened. âWhat will you do?â
âSend the Autons to destroy him.â
âNo, Channing, no! You canât just kill him! He was my friend.â
Channing came close, his burning eyes boring into Hibbertâs very brain. He spoke soothingly: âIt is necessary, Hibbert. He saw all this. He saw the Autons. No one can see those things and live. No one except you, Hibbert. Think, and you will see that it is necessary.â
Hibbertâs mind became calm. Of course Ransome had to die. It was unfortunate, but logical. âHow will the Autons find him?â
Channing said: âThey are programmed now to detect his brain-print and destroy him on sight.â He looked at the pattern on the screen. âHe is still in the area. Soon they will find him.â As if at a silent command, the line of Autons jerked into life, and marched silently from the room.
Hibbert said: âYou are sending all of them to hunt for Ransome?â
âIf they find Ransome they will kill him. But that is not their primary purpose. All of the energy units have been recovered or accounted for. All except one. But that one is the most important of all.â Channing swung round on Hibbert, his eyes burning with a fierce unearthly light. âBefore the invasion can begin, we must find the swarm leader!â
