The Planet Savers
By the time I got myself all the way awake I thought I was alone. I was
lying on a leather couch in a bare white room with huge windows,
alternate glass-brick and clear glass. Beyond the clear windows was a
view of snow-peaked mountains which turned to pale shadows in the
glass-brick.
Habit and memory fitted names to all these; the bare office, the orange
flare of the great sun, the names of the dimming mountains. But beyond a
polished glass desk, a man sat watching me. And I had never seen the man
before.
He was chubby, and not young, and had ginger-colored eyebrows and a
fringe of ginger-colored hair around the edges of a forehead which was
otherwise quite pink and bald. He was wearing a white uniform coat, and
the intertwined caduceus on the pocket and on the sleeve proclaimed him
a member of the Medical Service attached to the Civilian HQ of the
Terran Trade City.
