As Smith was being lifted into bed, the High Minister for Science was saying testily granted, Captain, that your authority as commander of what was nevertheless a scientific expedition gives you the right to order medical service to protect a person temporarily in your charge. I do not see why you now presume to interfere with my department. Why Smith is a treasure trove of scientific information. I suppose he is. Sir, The science Minister looked contemptuous. If acceleration fatigue is worrying you let me assure you, my dear captain, that we anticipated that after all I've been out myself. I know how it feels. This man Smith must. Captain Van Trump decided that it was time to throw a tantrum. So he interrupted this man Smith, This man can't you see that he is not? Smith is an intelligent creature with the ancestry of a man. But he is more Martian than man. Until we came along, he had never laid eyes on a man. He thinks like a Martian feels like a Martian. He has been brought up by a race which has nothing in common with us. If you want to drive him crazy and waste that treasure trove. Call in your fat headed professors don't give him a chance to get used to this madhouse planet. It's no skin off me. I've done my job. They had arrived at it. The second strangest thing about the ship was watching these somebody else's problem field at work. They could now clearly see the ship for what it was, simply because they knew it was there. It was quite apparent, however, that nobody else could. This wasn't because it was actually invisible or anything hyper impossible like that. The technology involved in making anything invisible is so infinitely complex that 999 billion, 999 million, 999,999 times out of a trillion it is much simpler and more effective just to take the thing away and do without it. Somebody else's problem field is much simpler and more effective, and what is more can be run for over 100 years on a single flashlight battery. That is because it relies on people's natural predisposition not to see anything they don't want to, weren't expecting or can't explain
