Norman　said；　〃We　cant；　Jerry。　We　would　if　we　could。〃

I　AM　LIKING　THE　ENTITY　TED。　HE　IS　VERY　HUMOROUS。

〃Yes；〃　Norman　said。　〃Ted　liked　you；　too。　Ted　was　trying　to　talk　to　you。〃

YES　I　AM　LIKING　HIS　MANIFESTATIONS。　BRING　BACK　TED。

〃We　cant。〃

There　was　a　long　pause。

I　AM　OFFENDED　YOU？

〃No；　not　at　all。〃

WE　ARE　FRIENDS　NORMAN　AND　HARRY。

〃Yes；　we　are。〃

THEN　BRING　BACK　THE　ENTITIES。

〃He　just　refuses　to　understand；〃　Harry　said。　〃Jerry；　for　Gods　sake；　we　cant　do　it！〃

YOU　ARE　HUMOROUS　HARRY。　MAKE　IT　AGAIN。

＇＇262＇＇　Hes　definitely　reading　strong　emotional　reactions　as　some　kind　of　manifestation；　Norman　thought。　Was　this　his　idea　of　play…to　make　a　provocation　to　the　other　party；　and　then　to　be　amused　by　their　responses？　Was　he　delighted　to　see　the　vivid　emotions　brought　on　by　the　squid？　Was　this　his　idea　of　a　game？

HARRY　MAKE　IT　AGAIN。　HARRY　MAKE　IT　AGAIN。

〃Hey；　man；〃　Harry　said　angrily。　〃Get　off　my　back！〃

THANK　YOU。　I　AM　LIKING　THAT。　IT　WAS　RED　ALSO。　NOW　YOU　WILL　PLEASE　BRING　BACK　THE　ENTITIES　GONE。

Norman　had　an　idea。　〃Jerry；〃　he　said；　〃if　you　wish　the　entities　back；　why　dont　you　bring　them　back？〃

I　AM　NOT　PLEASED　TO　DO　THIS。

〃But　you　could　do　it；　if　you　wanted　to。〃

I　CAN　DO　ANY　THING。

〃Yes；　of　course　you　can。　So　why　dont　you　bring　back　the　entities　you　desire？〃

NO。　I　AM　NOT　HAPPY　TO　DO　THIS。

〃Why　not？〃　Harry　said。

HEY　MAN　GET　OFF　MY　BACK。

〃No　offense；　Jerry；〃　Norman　said　quickly。　There　was　no　reply　on　the　screen。　〃Jerry？〃

The　screen　did　not　respond。

〃Hes　gone　again；〃　Harry　said。　He　shook　his　head。　〃God　knows　what　the　little　bastard　will　do　next。〃

FURTHER　ANALYSIS

Norman　went　up　to　the　lab　to　see　beth；　but　she　was　asleep；　curled　up　on　her　couch。　In　sleep；　she　looked　quite　beautiful。　It　was　odd　after　all　the　time　down　here　she　should　seem　so　radiant。　It　was　as　if　the　harshness　had　gone　out　of　her　features。　Her　nose　did　not　seem　so　sharp　any　more；　the　line　of　the　mouth　was　softer；　fuller。　He　looked　at　her　arms；　which　had　been　sinewy；　veins　bulging。　The　muscles　seemed　smoother；　more　feminine　somehow。

Who　knows？　he　thought。　After　so　many　hours　down　here；　youre　no　judge　of　anything。　He　climbed　back　down　the　ladder　and　went　to　his　bunk。　Harry　was　already　there；　snoring　loudly。
