〃Where's your sense of self…preservation？〃 Barnes said。
〃I strongly object； Captain Barnes。〃
〃Duly noted；〃 Barnes said； turning away。 〃Now let's get on with it。 Tina； give us the video feed。〃
Ted sputtered； but he fell silent as two large monitors in front of them clicked on。 On the left screen； they saw the plex tubular metal scaffolding of the robot； with exposed motors and gears。 The robot was positioned before the curved gray metal wall of the spacecraft。
Within that wall was a door that looked rather like an airliner door。 The second screen gave a closer view of the door； taken by the video camera mounted on the robot itself。 〃It's rather similar to an airplane door；〃 Ted said。
＇＇64＇＇ Norman glanced at Harry； who smiled enigmatically。 Then he looked at Barnes。 Barnes did not appear surprised。 Barnes already knew about the door； he realized。
〃I wonder how we can account for such parallelism in door design；〃 Ted said。 〃The likelihood of its occurring by chance is astronomically small。 Why； this door is the perfect size and shape for a human being！〃
〃That's right；〃 Harry said。
〃It's incredible；〃 Ted said。 〃Quite incredible。〃 Harry smiled； said nothing。
Barnes said； 〃Let's find control surfaces。〃

〃Ridiculous；〃 Ted said。 〃It's like watching a baby。〃
The claw continued to
