was on my way to see him at his home and i stumbled into this for me planning to do a little diving thomas this late at night i'm an oceanographer emotions my business day or night and i think particularly interesting around here you keep out of  i'm working on press taking things great and you still won't tell me what it is that yes you've got your own staff consumed with curiosity even your secretary is asked me if i know what it is you're doing behind the tightly no opportunist not a scientist i don't trust him nor apple they're both spying on activated the hydrogen isotopes in the heavy water to form an atomic chain reaction they call this development the first workable that for a suppose you tell me what you're doing with a geiger counter i told you i thought the  radiation for i want to verify i did scientific curiosity you might say i'm using a phony name what's that for bats for reasons of my own i watched you yesterday the way you looked out there is if you expected something like this was going to happen am i to consider myself a suspect what happened out there seems to tie in for to closely with your own experiments the audience if you're going to call it that was highly circumstantial washington tell you anything else about me and not to make me keep my eyes on you you know if you leave me alone i might be able to help you with  and then again maybe not you know what they're saying in town nothing like this ever happened until we open the school here i can't say that i blame the way the professor's been actin locking himself up in his room he won't even let me in there to clean  and all those noises coming from that room i've got work to do an all i needed the courage i wonder if i might have a few words with you alone as a live believe you are on your way down the supply room i called on you at your home last night but you've gone out for a walk through an open window as my daughter last told me that the mr baxter recalled i got a terrible scolding on your account i'm afraid you ruined my favorite device for getting out of the house when i can't sleep professor  saw fisherman's body washed up on the shore last night these men get very careless they think they rule the sea just the opposite the sea rules us mr baxter this man wasn't killed by a natural force his body was rigid with radiation burn i think whatever killed him was man made indeed very interesting although not within my scope as an oceanographer just what is it you want of me mr baxter well i'd like a detailed study of the ocean in this facility the depth and the composition of the floor anything that you might have like a little time to gather them i'd like in the soonest possible i told my daughter i wouldn't work for some afternoon why don't you come to the house about three say if you get there before i do and lois is out just go on right in the house is generally unlocked will be fine by the way i take it you are working with mr grant the federal investigator you might say so oh let's you might not well i did your father told me to open the door and come in he would come would you mind having me those things i am sure are an awful long time with that mission completed sorry to say oh i'm sorry i'm late well now that you will you excuse me surely few years ago all summers deposit of uranium ore was found along this coast is there any evidence of a similar deposit along here much to my knowledge why this morning i made a test dive over the area where the accidents have taken place they weren't accidents there's a shaft of light coming up out of the ocean i have reason to believe that it's nuclear and character of any object coming into contact with this light would be subject to extreme radiation i believe this light killed three men in incredible you so you made a close examination of this light not phantom stories that are running wild around the village professor you say you've read my stories did i have much of my work is based on your findings that you must remember my experiments on activating the hydrogen isotopes in heavy same reaction on a much larger scale a weapon like this could destroy anything coming in contact with it fantastic once the chain reaction had started it could continue indefinitely as a matter of fact keep growing larger what about the the beast down there was a man made to i really thought since marine life lives in a constant flow of heavy water the effect of radiation on it would be completely different than it is on humans that creature must be destroyed and the knowledge that went into creating you think that that knowledge might have come out of my college since i am head of a college professor and science we look for one thing and find another we split anatomy hydrogen bomb is involved we set up a simple experiment or study on underwater life hello yes mr grant will have them ready for you in the morning that's right good bye you seem so skeptical when i told you the results of my test i have yet to show a genuine concern for mr grant safety today professor  at all i consider you an intelligent woman a bit better perhaps the great lover of mankind but still intelligent i'd like your opinion what would you consider a just punishment for a man or woman who would betray his fellow man for money one who would take a scientific discovery of my mental scope and use it to line his pockets  would you consider death just no matter you can tell me some other time hello get me mr grant plea i'll be meeting for your of the day after tomorrow has it all right to come here go and i can tell you what you want to know all right you've learned a great deal about natural curiosity about a fellow s there were some very pleasant moments of silence to be really should go all right they're burned worse than the fisherman was i think it's about time we did something about this we in my off your list of suspects earlier today i had a long talk with washington you were the topic of conversation and might be shot at sunrise they told me to cooperate with you it could have floored me they put you on this case still and didn't even tell me prints how about you going down to the college and picking up some diving equipment i checked with professor king and he said the night watchman would give  m i made a test drive yesterday pretty grim shaft of radioactive light down there touch it near death and if that isn't enough there's some kind of an animal standing guard over it then there really is a basis for these phantom stories i'm afraid there is i shall take care of it and i won't mess up my principal interest is a life and you will have to draw whatever it is down there away so i can get a good look at that light bill out isn't going to be easy or my own do worry about yours you wish to speak to me or yes i thought you might be interested in the results of the dive we made this morning the very fact that you're here now tells me that you'll find them as well as your life ray is a myth hoax they both exist light rain as you call it is very definitely atomic and deadly the only reason i'm alive is because i made sure i didn't come in contact with it myself s evidently she hasn't told him but she knows what i do i know what i  i'll be here tomorrow to come unless you have something for me i believe you are looking for these she laughed at college a few minutes later you followed that it grasp the significance of that fact to think that i would take a human life willfully deliberately she just as well as told me you w was killed with one of the colleges spear guns and my being formally charged with this horrible thing not yet just a matter of time c i call a college to tell the old man i was in the clear with no one answer is probably home i think i better go tell me tell you oh man i'm i'm sorry i'd like to talk to your father lonely take a few minutes there you better run on home i'll p floor how did you activate that dr stevens is my knowledge and mine alone but it must be destroyed it started with a simple animal experiment one of yours dr i thought and invested way beyond the scope of you'll remember generation didn't i don't tell me how you created tell me how to destroy it i don't know that i want to but dr you're not free to do as you wish five people have died as a result of that think you're quite right but just give me one hour to think about it it's a decision that's not easy to make i have no other choice thank you i know that from kind of trouble and needs me i know but your father asked you to wait here i can't we've got to find him do you know where he might be well possibly could have gone to the lab  that i'm going to wait do i have to go alone or are you coming with me perhaps you're right you can't do any good here just waiting what happened that shit just exploded lawyers i've got to find your father you can't mean that dad had anything to do with this i haven't got time to talk
