The Madness of Lancelot Biggs -...

Nelson S. Bond

The Madness of Lancelot Biggs by Nelson S. Bond - There was more at stake than just a football game for Lancelot Biggs and the crew of the Saturn. So Biggs made a bargain; his rocket emblem in exchange for a new uranium condenser—and how it worked!
We had barely cleared Lunar Three and I was taking final instructions from Joe Marlowe, the port Sparks, when my plates dulled out and there I was staring at a blank expanse of metal. So I said, "Merdejo!" which is Universal for a naughty word, and started looking for the trouble. I was on my hands and knees under the audio bank when Cap Hanson came into my control turret.
He said, "You lose somethin', Sparks?"
"Two minutes ago," I told him. "Take a look around. If you see something bright red and covered with hairy spikes, don't step on it. It's my temper."
The Skipper sighed. "If my troubles," he declaimed, "was as mild as your'n, I'd do cartwheels from here to Venus. Sparks, you got a copy of the Space Manual here, ain't you?"
I nodded toward my bookcase; he found the reg book and leafed through it carefully. Finally he shook his head.
"It ain't here," he gloomed. "Are you sure this is the latest edition?"
"Just what are you looking for?" I asked him.
"I was kinda thinkin'," he said hopefully, "there might be a paragraph givin' a space commander permission to boil his First Mate in oil, or cut him into small cubes an' feed him to the octopussies. But the waffle-fannies what wrote that book--"
I knew, then. It was the same old complaint. Our lanky and incredibly omniscient friend, Lancelot Biggs, whose genius for getting ye goode shippe Saturn out of tight spots was surpassed only by his ability to fester Cap Hanson's epidermis, was back in the soup.
I said, "But, sweet comets, Cap, what's he done now? He hasn't had time to do much. We've just pulled our Ampie out of Earth's H-layer."
