  Export Commodity by Irving Cox Jr. - Henig was sent to obtain a soil sample of the planet. It was a routine assignment, but not necessarily the only method for discovering an—Export Commodity 
  Three of the hairless bipeds stood in front of the frame building talking. Concealed by the brush beyond the road, Henig studied them carefully.

He could have used the same device to communicate directly with the alien minds, but the Scientist-General had warned him against that.

  "And if we decide we need their planet, sir—" 
  "We'll set up reservations for them, so they can't interfere with our operation." 
  "They won't have weapons to match ours," Henig suggested hopefully. 
  "If you go in uniform, Lieutenant, even these witless things would recognize you as an alien.
