        Both men could, however, hear anything broadcast at full
power by the Startroopers floating with them out in the vacuum.
        "Yes," said San Kaladan. "Clear if not loud."
        "Then speak your mind," said Hatch.
        There was a pause. Hatch wished he could see San Kaladan's
face. But instead there was only the armored suit and the big
bulbous faceplate. The faceplate was black, and reflected the
lights of the big sliding MegaCommand Cruiser, and the ignition of
a flare. Holding a conversation like this was grotesque. It was
more like a seance with the dead than a consultation with the
living.
        "Sir," said San Kaladan diffidently.
        And Hatch wished they were free in the flesh so he could
place one of his big hands firmly on San Kaladan's shoulder,
establishing physical contact, abolishing the inhibiting effect of
his captaincy. But all he had to negotiate with was this
effectively disembodied voice.
        "Sir," said San Kaladan. "I've been thinking."
        "Speak," said Hatch.
        "I have a wife and children on Borboth."
        Borboth was the home planet of the Nu-chala, the servant of
the great lord who was the spiritual leader of the congregation of
Nu-chala-nuth.
        Of course, a wrecked MegaCommand Cruiser floating helplessly
in deep space would in due course become a coffin for all its
crew. San Kaladan would never see his wife and children again.
That was no great tragedy as far as Hatch was concerned, for San
Kaladan was in truth nothing but a transitory software artefact,
an interactive feature of the wargaming environment of the
illusion tanks. Nevertheless, the software artefact named San
Kaladan behaved like a human being and could only be effectively
managed by treating it as if it was in fact possessed of full
humanity.
        "I share your sorrow," said Hatch. "I too have wife and
children."
        "But," said San Kaladan, "we - we - we might still - "
        "What are you thinking of?" said Hatch, starting to get
seriously alarmed.
