- Synopsis
- The lieutenant appeared to slip as he was jumping off... As his body was disappearing through the lower half of the circle one of his legs intersected the edge of the blackness, just at the ankle. A brown army boot fell into the vegetation below with an unpleasantly heavy thud. "The young fool," Giyani said disgustedly. "He's finally managed to finish himself." "Never mind that," Surgenor shouted. "Look at the circle!" The black disk of night was shrinking. "That's bad," Giyani whispered. "That's very bad." Surgenor nodded. "It looks as though the power that keeps that hole open partially expends itself when something passes through. And if the shrinkage is proportional to the mass transported... What diameter would you say it was before Kelvin went through?" "About three meters." "And it's about two now--which means the area has been ... halved." The two men stared at each other as they performed the simple piece of mental arithmetic which made them mortal enemies.
