The hawk hopped one step closer to kinds as outstretched hand turned its head first one way
And then the other to study the exposed flesh
Irakus is a one crop planet
One crop it supports a ruling class
That lives as ruling class as i've lived in all times
While benethem a semi human massiof semi slaves exists on the leavings
It's the masses and the leavings that occupy our attention
These are far more valuable than has ever been suspected
I'm ignoring you father go away
And he thought surely there must be some of my friend and yeah
They cannot help
But see the birds over me
They will investigative only to see
If there's moisture available the masses of iraqus will know that we work to make the land flow with water
Most of them of course will have only a semimystial understanding of how we intend to do this many not understanding the prohibitive mass ratio problem may even think we'll bring water from some other planet rich in it
Let them think anything they wish as long as they believe in us in a met i'll get up and tell him what i think of him kinthoured standing their electoring me
When he should be helping me
The abbird took another hot closer to kinds as outstretched hand two more hawks drifted down to the sand behind it
Religion and law among our masses must be one and the same and active disaobedience must be a sin and require religious penalties
This will have the dual benefit of bringing both grave obedidience gravter bravery we must depend not so much on the bravery of individuals
You see as upon the bravery of a whole population
Where is my population
Now when i need it most
Kindthought he's summoned all his strength moved his hand of fingers witds toward the nearest hawk
It hopped backward among its companions and all stood poised for flight
Our timetable will achieve the stature of a natural phenomenon
A planet's life is a vast tightly interwovin fabric vegetation and animal changes will be determined at first by the raw physical forces
We manipulate as they established themselves
Though our changes will become controlling influences in their own right
And we will have to deal with them too keep in mind
Though that we need control only three percent of the energy surface
Only three percent to tip the entire structure over into our self sustaining system
Why aren't you helping me
Kinds wondered always the same when i need you most you'll fail
He wanted to turn his head to stare in the direction of his father's voice
Stare the old man down muscles refused to answer his demand
Kinds saw the hawk move it approached his hand a cautious stepped at a time
While its companions waited in mockyn difference
The hawk stopped only a hop away from his hand
A profound clarity filled kind's mind
He saw quite suddenly a potential for iraqis
That his father had never seen the possibilities along that different path flooded through him
No more terrible disaster could be fall your people than for them to fall into the hands of a hero reading my mind
Kind thought well let him though messages already have been sent to my ch villages
Nothing can stop them
If the duke's son is alive the'll find him and protect him as i have commanded
They may discarded the woman his mother
But they'll save the boy
The hawk k took one hob
That brought it within slashdistance
Stance his hand
It tipped its head to examine the supine fleh abruptly it's straighed stretched its head upward ded with a single screeleapked into the air and banked a away overhead with its companions behind it
They've come kinds thought my friremen have found me
Then he heard the sand rumbling
Every frieman knew the sound could distinguish it immediately from the noises of worms or other desert life
Somewhere bbeneath him the prespice mass had accumulated enough water and organic matter from the little makers had reached the critical stage of wild growth
A gigantic bubble of carbon dioxide was forming deep in the sand
Heving upward in an enormous blur with a dust world pool at its centre
It would exchange what had been formed deep in the sand for whatever lay on the surface
The hawks circled overhead screching their frustration
They knew what was happening any desert creature would know
And i am a desert creature
Kinds thouthouyou you see me father
I am a desert creature
He felt the bubble lift him felt it to break and the dust world pool and goalled him
Dragging him down into cool darkness for a moment of the sensation of coolness
Ness in the moist ure where blessed relief
Then as his planet killed him
It occurred to kinds that his father and all the other scientists were wrong
That the most persistent principles of the universe were accident and error
Even the hawks could appreciate these facts
