The oxygen retained in the lungs allowed, however , tie a knot at the height of his left elbow joint tightening and closing the exhaust. The speed of the event did not have time to wonder. Nothing could surprise at the time. I closed the gap, the air again filling the suit in an instant. And the blood that had flowed so easily compressed when Hollis was further tightened the knot, to make a tourniquet.
All this had happened in the midst of a terrible silence from Hollis. The other men talked. One of them, Lespere, talked incessantly of his wife of Mars, Venus his wife, his wife of Jupiter, his money, his heyday, his drinking, his gambling, his happiness ... He talked and talked, while all fell. Lespere happy reminiscing as it hurtled to his death.
Everything was so strange! Area, thousands of miles of space, and voice vibrating in their center. No man at sight, only radio waves stirred trying to excite men. "
