Tonight Tonight Tonight, caretaker by James A. Schmidt.

Commander Lowndes?

Yes, Mr. Harris.

Extrigation reports, planetary orbit secure.

What vector, Mr. Harris?

Approximately 1,000 miles above subject planet 3785.

Well, we'll have to give it a name soon, Harris.

Yes, sir.

Engineering is secured, damaged control parties working on the hull.

Very well.

As Marta touched down in the scout ship? Yes, sir. We have them on the tight beam. Give him to me on my screen. Yes, sir. Brockman, put Martyr on the command screen. Exploration ship Titan calling ship 375. Come in. Scout 375 reporting. What's it like down there, Martyr? It's not much different from the scan reports, sir. I'm at the head of a valley. It's green and it's scarlet. It's all swampy, and there's a big river threading through it. Harris, get me a pinpoint in Martin's location. There are mountains beyond. I can see Holman's house from here. Looks like a Swiss chalet standing over the lake. Have you made contact? Yes, sir. Boyce is over there now. How is he? Well, it's hard to say. Tell him we're recording the planet officially as Holman's planet. That might please him. I don't think so, sir. What? A boy suggested that during our first visit with Holman today. He wants us to record it instead as, well, I'll spell it as C-R-E-S-G-Y-T-H, Crescott. What's that, local? That's his phonetic interpretation of the name the people here use. Fair enough, if that's how he wants it. Anything to add on your present report? No, no, no, sir. I'll call you back after we've met his woman.
