ng his cheek, his mind stunned by the anaesthetic he drew in with each breath. He was as one lost in thought, his eyes open but unseeing, observing but not interpreting. There was no sense of duration, of the passage of seconds or minutes. There was only a dream in which, suddenly, a gentle mind made its presence known. Concepts tapped lightly at his own mind and an automatic process of interpretation winnowed and equated until a gentle voice seemed to speak. The words were few, merely computed associations keyed to understanding, and with them were perfectly and intimately synchronized fragments of emotion and vision, softly washing over the surface of his mind. * * * * * _(Urgency) Attend--attend! Challonari! Attend!_ * * * * * An impression of convolutions drifted through his mind--a shape, perhaps, and a color. He felt no curiosity, and let the impression drift. As a sunbather drowsing on a crowded beach, hearing the background hum of the crowd and now and then a more clearly spoken phrase, so he caught the edge of this communication. It was not for him. A second mind entered ... _was_ it a mind? Yes, and yet very different. It was strong, but limited--perhaps childlike, in some ways. Alive after a fashion, it was receptive of emotion up to a point and even capable of emotion--up to a point. It seemed an embryo mind, in some ways well developed and in others with no potential whatever. * * * * * (RELIEF) IDENTITY BLURRED ... KNOW/NOT KNOW. (PERPLEXITY) NO PRECEDENT ...
