must have been my imagination it makes me realize just briefly alone it is hanging in space like a speck of food floating in the ocean sooner or later to be swallowed up by some creature floating by three surface readings register above minimum requirements go below and bring up the only civilized beings could have made inscription on this metal piece we shall not have the thousands of guardians brought here to destroy them you have concern for foreign beings over our mission to locate grazing land r recall this is necessary as a reserve food supply for our people our people we live like part the machines we don't know our fathers or mothers were raised in cubicles the second the older put to death it is the one and only way to maintain the supreme race have you forgotten our people have forgotten or been made to part for centuries but i have learned how it once was a family brothers and sisters that was helping us there was love what do you speak from where have you learned such things i have read every word from this book i discovered it and kept it hidden i am interested to see what sways your mind so heavenly you may have it to rise and fall it drives captain already i can feel it has grown heavier we should return to our base and leave the transport ships here soon this planet will be covered with grown gardens a safe distance from our planet yet their meat will be available to us for the harvesting repack the instruments i shall radio back the news of our success unsuitable repack the instruments and prepare for takeoff we will continue our search in another solar system and when we return to our home base you will be presented to the high court with the evidence against you expedition seal six to base expedition zero six two base guardian i will get the straps how did he get free escaped from so i could have stopped him during his to be brought back alive is the son of our leader garrick reported his actions was connected with the leader i'm so compounds in this planet is suitable completely and must be to radio vision contact so secure the garden by expandable like bands out of sight not cave the size of the teens by we shall be back before that happens unless it's to be seen food in excess of the atmospheric elop we will leave nothing else for it to consume thousands of beast like that millions of times enlarged homing on this planet they will be harvested in the air so there will be no danger to let us be quick i do not like to look upon it now that you report the planet is suitable for our purposes you want to return here immediately and apparently the transport ships there there exist it could not be difficult in our operation to communicate in any way with the inhabited areas though they may be i heard the orders captain let me find derek you went into the sky is lined up to begin the search we will leave now return you to meet you when we bring the  never saw uniform watched them fall or what brings you here i am searching for someone maybe i can happy no a lot of folks around these parts i am searching for someone you could not the strange question to ask grampa raises both in seeing the kids after mom and dad i'm sorry i it's just that i never knew any brothers or sisters your mother and father decided to play it smart in avoid a lot of squabbles around  by what's going on in town anyway mr convention or something what the clothes you're wearing and talk to a guy this morning was wearing the same kind of outfit maybe the guy you're looking for a you spoke to him what did he tell you where did he go he was a matter with much better better when i came to your place it was because  don't worry i'll get it that is what i wanted to tell you about did you find when i first arrived i

the week with your straight down down the street about three miles just before you get to the park get the biggest out of luck down there you can't miss it bring you fellows probably anyway don't believe i've seen uniforms like you're the board military secret agent it didn't matter there he didn't say where he's from either the lobby keep you you're probably anxious to see  terry you don't mean all the bones you can see they've been here for a very long time no it was among these remains that i found the middle inscription could be it projects an isolated being which separates the molecules of living material and chain reaction but the solids the skeletal braces got to explain it to me why were they doing this where were they from how did  where do they go from where to where to anywhere in the world where else is there to go i should never brought you here is it about a new secret weapon something you and the others and then it and then they turned against you or something like that just as you try to find someone i can explain it to maybe professor simpson at the college he's head of the science department make any difference between us because i don't care where you're from i don't understand him somehow i feel like i've always known you we've let's go to the professor you speak of we have to pass the house first so i can change what was that did you hear it now only the  well hello what can i do for you you are alone could be where the others the ones who always feel like you want to know that tell me where they are saying who are you anyway never mind just tell me then i have to hear their god where did they go i think you better get out of here before i'd call the police you will call know what you will do as i say that's what you think m room this morning seems like a nice fellow oh well the reason i called i wanted to tell betty i stumbled onto a double murder story that may keep me longer but well after i get the story into the paper i'll go over to alex's and see are there a double murder joke when was it where we're not sure yet gramps is only a couple of skeletons we'll know more when the coroner gets here where is it the one who came with information for you who you are making some mistakes making the mistake where did you go out there i don't know what you're talking about you will speak to no one else me the police department to be there right away thank you barry tell me how they go there i want you to go somewhere else where you will be safe where safe in the city haunt the police said they're going to have on guards waiting for us on the front step i totally be right well what do you want i will do my granddaughter and you're not getting any help from me did they return here tell me i have no reason to harm your granddaughter but if you don't not tell me i could kill derek why should you care about him why should he want to kill you it is important only that he leave here that i return him to where he belongs where is that from where he escaped i need not harm anyone if you tell me where he is if you do not there will be many beginning with you now he's not here he's in the center of the city where take me there you will pilot the vehicle go based w or thank the lord you're safe i just came from alice's there was a skeleton in the pool and you stay put i'll go over and help him across go into the building you will take me to a man of surgery to remove the metal pellets from my flesh that is not possible yes we that's the way it happened next thing i knew he was trying to fire out the window with that injury i swerved the car and see where is betty that's funny she must be around someplace but the car is gone they must've left with up me well don't worry grams you'll get an escort home i'm going to phone the story into the paper and then drive out to the old mine betty mentioned they will mine what's out there i don't know our car then betty derrick they must have been kept after you craft or do something you got to find we got to tell the police they might be able to do from things to tell them what happened only chance to duplicate the operation of the disintegrator how can that be done the myth of science you might be able to do it if they could get tours as a model if only there is enough time you know i don't get this guy animals or humans he just seems to like killing there's more to it than that joe is something behind something we don't understand weapon he uses it flesh right off the bow because that tree over there used it for target practice by the looks of it i don't know let's take a look at the ok me with this how long do you think you can hold out that way so long enough that will not be too long to wait cave where he shot at me some kind of man eating monster or mack the guy was with i could hear the thing tearing him apart he was dead in a few seconds but could it be and i don't know whatever it is i'm afraid the nightmares just be surrounds the disappearance of a man eating beast said to have been abandoned mine shaft outside the city limits these newsreel shots were made immediately after the city police surrounded the cave and found it completely empty evidence in the cave appeared to confirm the report  sort had been chuckles there but had somehow attained strength enough to pull itself loose and escape groups of armed volunteers and set off in search of the creature hoping to track it down and destroy it meanwhile you're not from this world we were made to say the only difference is that were put on cases part far apart babies are bred raised like livestock parroted by the most perfect specimens of our race if you become it or you are put to death as are the old you won't be going back  many many be able to repair the damage part of it isn't a good thing if i can stop the garden and give the earth a weapon against invasion of well if only i can get it to work it is worthless unless i can figure out an energy substitute oh maybe it will come and it's today it will come to the city furthermore if nothing else few remaining survivors of the search party that was attacked the point that the beast be encountered was many times the size they expected indicating that the monster has some strange power of rapid growth and exact description was we have a bulletin just received according to a report not yet confirmed the east of seemingly gigantic proportions have been cited lurking in the hills due north east of the city officials have called for military help veins and troops are expected to arrive within the next two hours meanwhile citizens chance i can do something ye those wires going from pole to pole the jury the source of energy use for lumination and power in the home here alone to keep the wires are spread throughout the city are they not you mean you might be able to make a disintegrat why are you in the cellar gramps but betty what makes you think betty is in the cellar she's out somewhere there again everybody supposed to take shelter the monster from the cave it's approaching the town then that's where they must've gone those crazy kids we've got know what extras you must not interfere to get a weapon like that makes me think of what the killer used it is the same thing but why is it where they come from anyway some place none of us has ever heard of before man was doing all the killing and the and heard of weapons but how could they came in a as a ship of some sort whatever those people told you they saw last night the buying sausage and i thought those people were seeing th you must be in the house there's our car what makes you think i will you refuse to take me that's right i'm staying right here you will do as i say this isn't true do not interfere betty i beg you  take me to where they are keeping the prisoner the killer he's the general hospital but then take me there trust me trust me news the prisoners in this building looks like they haven't transferred into city jail yet what are you planning to do never mind just get out of the car and walk in front of me do not move i will take the prisoner n you take the wall keep your hands above your head i was stupid thought very stupid but that is over we are returning to meet the ships together why do you let them live tell him there is no need they will be dead soon enough along with everything else on this planet go the guy that looks like there are hundreds more still in the sky what are they going to do the other ships are loaded with thousands of those horrible creatures like the one derek killed today i would have used that the senator on them but it will not function without energy supply it was damaged when you crushed i had to bluff with it it is just as well they will be the first victims of the guy so you were able to bring him back for a brought me i'm sorry i acted the way i did i'm ready to take my punishment it will be no punishment my son you are my father and i have watched your progress and you will go on you have excelled in all things i was most disappointed to learn that you had deserted i came this trip oping i would find you would return has what i have done not disqualified me am i still to look back at is all that matters you mistakes were made because of that book it blows your mind but only temporarily how is it you are able to leave the planet will not the government structure collapse in your absence we will return immediately as soon as the gardens are unloaded from the fleet of ships the people are unaware that i am gone yes we must leave quickly if  discovered it would likely spark the beginning number revolution i'm not the only one who read that book father yes i know and you will help in tracking down others who may have such books yes i see the fleet is approaching they're flying from radio signals from the guide ship are they not let me be the one to direct the men for landing captain of the ship's close enough to receive the landing signals momentarily but when you go below derek you will bring them
