"Unit

1,

come

back.

We've

been invaded.

I'm

driving from

Cometland

toward

Ora's.

They're

only a

mile

or so behind

me on

the

highway."

Nat paused

for

breath and

as-

sumed

his

most

desperate

tone.

"Do

you

read me ?"

Cometland

is

a resort

about

20

miles

up

the

coast. With

one

hand

on the

wheel and

the

other on my

transceiver.

I decided

to

play

along.

I put

myself

on the air.

"Unit

1 to Unit 3,

invaded

by

what? Dragons

from

Mercury

or gnomes

from

who

knows

where ?"

"Giants

in

spaceships.

A

whole army

of

them.

They've

completely

taken

over Com-

etland."

His

signal

inched

up a

little

on the

S-

meter.

Ora

broke in. "With

this

fog, how

can

you tell

?"

Unit

3, undaunted.

"Unit

1, you'd

better

turn

back.

I'll pick

up Ora

and

meet you

further

south."

Yours

truly

pushed

a

little

harder

on that

accelerator.

"Sure

you

will."

She,

sweetly,

"Whoever

gets

here first

Nat

kept

it

up. "I'm

not fooling,

Unit

1.

They've

turned

Cometland

into a

base

and

more

spaceships

are

landing

right

now.

You

can

hear

them

coming

in from

here."

There

was

a loud

hum in

the

background.

I yawned

a

little. "So

you

brought

your

shaver

with you.

And don't

forget

the last

CB'er

who

sent a

phony

distress

got

two

years

in the pen."

It

was

her turn.

"Maybe

he's

not

worried

because

the

license

is

in your

name.

Any-

way,

man, you'd

better

make

it

here within

five

minutes."

"Just passed

the

lighthouse, Ora.

That

makes

it less

than

a

mile."

The fog

horn

was really

blowing

up a

storm

and

now

the

visibility

had

dropped

to absolute

zero.

I

slowed

down,

thought

about

that

license

bit,

and

began

to

sweat

a

little.

"Unit

3,

this

is

Unit

1.

As

licensee

I've just

cancelled

your

operating

privileges."

8:

A moment

of quiet

and then

he returned.

But now

that

hum

was

really

tremendous.

"One

of their

ships is

right

overhead. I think

it's

after

me.

The thing

is

draining

power

from

my batteries."

His

signal

dipped ap-

propriately. "Now

my car

has stalled

and

I can't

move." With

the most tremendous

panic

you ever

heard come

out

of a

CB

receiver,

"They're

landing

on the

road

in

front

of me."

He faded

out

completely.

Ora

took

over the channel.

"Hey,

Unit

1, it's

now

8:45. Do

you figure

those astro-

nauts

out there in

the fog

would treat

me

better

than you guys

do ?"

I inched around

a

final curve

by

following

the shoulder

of

the

road. "Wouldn't

bet

on

it."

"Well,

I may

get

the

chance

to find out

because

there's

a big

bright light coming

up

over the

northern

horizon."

I put myself

back on the air

quick.

"If

Nat's

arrived

there

first, both

your

operating

privileges

are cancelled."

Thirty

seconds

of dead air.

"Nobody

here except

me, yet.

But

if he's

kidding,

how

come

we're the

only

two peo-

ple

on the air

?"

She

laughed ever

so

slightly,

almost

nervous.

"Anywhere,

any

band."

Enough!

Between

the fog

and Nat's phony

distress,

I

was really

hung

up. "All right,

girl, if you

really

want

to

play, standby."

I

switched

on my general

coverage

converter

and

began

working down

through

the inter-

national

SWBC

bands.

16 and

19

meters

were

absolutely

dead

but

on 15,016 kHz

some

bird

with

a phony

accent

and a

made -

up

language

was

sending

messages.

I re-

turned

to CB

and

hit the airwaves

again.

"Nat, it's

also

illegal

to transmit

off the

Citizen's

Band.

Do you

read me ?"

Silence.

On

15,016

those

weird messages

contin-

ued

to

flow.

I moved

on

down through

25

and

31 meters

which were

also

blank. Static

showed

up around

6 MHz

but still

no sta-

tions.

A funny

feeling crept

into the pit

of

my

stomach.

The

AM broadcast

band

was

also

silent.

I put

my

CB transmitter

on in

a

hurry.

"Ora,

do you

read

me

?"

Her signals

were

so

weak

I

couldn't

make

out

what

she said

but now

I

was close

enough

to

see her

house through

the fog.

In

front

of

it

-a

spaceship

and astronauts.

Giants,

most

of them

six

feet tall,

well over

175

pounds,

no

tails

at

all.

And

that's

how

in

the year

X /4000

Venus

was

conquered

by

invaders

from

the

planet

Earth.
