would get back to the nearest Federation base and report the planetoid
without death. He didn't have absolute confidence in any government, no.
But he suspected the Federation could do more with the world than two
men like Ryan and Nogol.

Ekstrohm took his fingers off the punchboard and lay back on his couch.

He yawned.

Ryan and Nogol were slow, but in time they might have learned to do
without sleep, and to guard their treasure night and day.

Fortunately, Ekstrohm knew from long experience what the two others
didn't.

An eternity without sleep isn't worth the price.
