Overview: HELPLESS IN SPACE
Randall stopped short and Captain Stark stared. They both felt a steady throbbing in the berylumin floor of the ethership’s navigating cabin. It was an alien pulsation, a steady beat of uniform pattern and intensity.
Captain Stark’s face showed alarm and puzzlement. “What is it, Randall?”
“Whatever it is, it’s coming from outside the ship,” he muttered, busying himself with the glittering array of instruments.
The Captain fidgeted and chewed his mustache as Randall worked.
He finally looked up from the instruments, his face expressionless. “We’ve been caught up by a cosmic ray stream fifteen hundred miles wide. Its hold is unbreakable. We’ll just have to let it take us where it will.”
“Impossible!” the Captain roared. “We must be able to pull out.” He stomped to the engine room optophone and bellowed, “Maximum acceleration on neutrino power! No rocket ignition until ordered.”
Randall froze. “I warn you,” he blurted, “don’t waste any rocket fuel. We’ll need it for landing—somewhere.”
