"
The
call-off
was
ragged
and
slow
--
too
many
missing
files
as
I
could
see
from
my
physicals
display
.
But
the
mop-up
was
precise
and
fast
.
I
ranged
around
the
edge
and
got
half
a
dozen
Bugs
myself
--
the
last
of
them
suddenly
became
active
just
before
I
flamed
it
.
Why
did
concussion
daze
them
more
than
it
did
us
?
Because
they
were
unarmored
?
Or
was
it
their
brain
Bug
,
somewhere
down
below
,
that
was
dazed
?
The
call-off
showed
nineteen
effectives
,
plus
two
dead
,
two
hurt
,
and
three
out
of
action
through
suit
failure
--
and
two
of
these
latter
Navarre
was
repairing
by
vandalizing
power
units
from
suits
of
dead
and
wounded
.
The
third
suit
failure
was
in
radio
&
radar
and
could
not
be
repaired
,
so
Navarre
assigned
the
man
to
guard
the
wounded
,
the
nearest
thing
to
pickup
we
could
manage
until
we
were
relieved
.

In
the
meantime
I
was
inspecting
,
with
Sergeant
Cunha
,
the
three
places
where
the
Bugs
had
broken
through
from
their
nest
below
.
Comparison
with
the
sub
map
showed
,
as
one
could
have
guessed
,
that
they
had
cut
exits
at
the
places
where
their
tunnels
were
closest
to
the
surface
.
One
hole
had
closed
;
it
was
a
heap
of
loose
rock
.
The
second
one
did
not
show
Bug
activity
;
I
told
Cunha
to
post
a
lance
and
a
private
there
with
orders
to
kill
single
Bugs
,
close
the
hole
with
a
bomb
if
they
started
to
pour
out
it
's
all
very
well
for
the
Sky
Marshal
to
sit
up
there
and
decide
that
holes
must
not
be
closed
,
but
I
had
a
situation
,
not
a
theory
.
Then
I
looked
at
the
third
hole
,
the
one
that
had
swallowed
up
my
platoon
sergeant
and
half
my
platoon
.
Here
a
Bug
corridor
came
within
twenty
feet
of
the
surface
and
they
had
simply
removed
the
roof
for
about
fifty
feet
.
Where
the
rock
went
,
what
caused
that
"
frying
bacon
"
noise
while
they
did
it
,
I
could
not
say
.
The
rocky
roof
was
gone
and
the
sides
of
the
hole
were
sloped
and
grooved
.
The
map
showed
what
must
have
happened
;
the
other
two
holes
came
up
from
small
side
tunnels
,
this
tunnel
was
part
of
their
main
labyrinth
--
so
the
other
two
had
been
diversions
and
their
main
attack
had
come
from
here
.

Can
those
Bugs
see
through
solid
rock
?
Nothing
was
in
sight
down
that
hole
,
neither
Bug
nor
human
.
Cunha
pointed
out
the
direction
the
second
section
had
gone
.
It
had
been
seven
minutes
and
forty
seconds
since
the
platoon
sergeant
had
gone
down
,
slightly
over
seven
since
Brumby
had
gone
after
him
.
I
peered
into
the
darkness
,
gulped
and
swallowed
my
stomach
.
"
Sergeant
,
take
charge
of
your
section
,
"
I
said
,
trying
to
make
it
sound
cheerful
.
"
If
you
need
help
,
call
Lieutenant
Khoroshen
.
"
"
Orders
,
sir
?
