What
does
it all
mean?
Heavy Metal means a lot of
things, but to most people, it is

simply the most exciting, col-

orful,and unusual new maga-
zine being published. It
already has more readers than
any other adult fantasy or sci-
ence fiction magazine in the
world.
In many areas. Heavy Metal
sells so quickly that readers
aren't always able to get their
monthly copies. One way to
make sure to get yours is to
subscribe now. And, by the
way. there are substantial sav-
ings over newsstand prices.

LIFE
IN THE

VOID
An alien life form appears where none
should be in this phologram trans-
mitted by the experimental deep
space probe Wisniewski. the first manned Fed-
eration vehicle to explore intergalaetic space.

An automatic camera aboard the Wis-

niewski. placed to record the functions of ihe
still experimental tachyon transmitter (seen in

foreground), was photographing our Milky

Way from this unprecedented vantage point
when it recorded a phenomenon that stunned

the Federation worlds. A technician working

on the communicator witnessed the event ana
later gave this account: "I was preparing to pull
the tachyon boom back into the ship to adjust
the transmitter and was waiting for a clearhght
when I noticed through the port that the unit
was discharging brightly. Past it, far away. saw I

a light coming toward us. I was startled because

you rarely see moving things in space, espe-
cially where we were. By the time la reported
what I was seeing, the light had stopped ad-
vancing and was hanging in space about a kilo-
meter away. It wasn't a rigid form, but more like
a liquid globule or a single-celled organism that
undulated and pulsed with spectral light. Then
a strand of bubbles on a tether shot out of the
main globule toward me, so quickly that 1 re-
coiled. The leading bubble on the end of the
tether stopped suddenly a few meters from the
sputtering tachyon boom and hung there. I

could see something moving in the bubble. It

made a quick, twisting move that caused an

opening to appear in its side. From the opening
came an appendage that produced small col-
ored globules, like eyes, that floated for a few
seconds examining the transmitter. Then it
drew away and was gone."

Scientists examining the image scan tapes

from which this color scan was made have sug-
gested thai the alien craft seems to be com-
posed of biological and technological parts
integrated as in a symbiotic organism. The
main body emitted spectral pulses of light and
seemed to contain an assortment of large or-
ganic modules, perhaps specialized organic
groups assigned to a purpose in this case, a
spacecraft.

Hu T. M. White, famed Tseilarol biomapper.

observed that the image is a sober reminder of
the regions science has yet to understand. "Fed-
eration scientists gloated over tachyon drive
and its counterpart, the tach -communicator,
heralding them as a conquest over infinity and
the forces of nature. But before us here, in the
void between the galaxies with infinity itself as
a background, our sputtering transmitter is

scrutinized by an entity whose presence alone

mutely testifies to our limits of understanding."

NINO y AND DOUG MOENCH

ADAPTED5 BY ALEX N

Lone sensed the change before anyone else,

even before Mrs. Prodd. It was a difference in
the nature of one of her silences. It was a
treasure-proud silence, and Lone felt it change
as a man's kind of pride might change when he
turned from a jewel he treasured to a green
shoot he treasured. He said nothing and con-
cluded nothing; he just knew.
So the day Prodd came down to the south
meadow, where Lone was stepping and turning
tirelessly, a very part of his whispering scythe,
Lone knew what it was that he wanted to say.
Understanding was hardly one of his troubles
any more, but niceties of expression were. He
had to rehearse his tongue, still thick and un-
wieldy after eight years here. But suddenly,
Lone found it. "Been thinking," he said. "I
should go." That wasn't quite it. "Move along,"
he corrected. That was better. And he added,
without speaking, Because you want me to go.
Prodd didn't hear that, of course, so he said,
"Well," and he kicked a stone. "When we came
here, we built Jack's your room, the room
you're using. We call it Jack's room. You know
why, you know who Jack is?"
Yes,Lone thought. He said nothing.
"Jack'sour son. I guess it sounds funny. Jack
was the little guy we were so sure about, but

now, though. We're a bit old for it,

but . . . Lone, listen tome. I don't want you to
feel we're turning you out. We got a lot to thank
you for. ."
. .

"Said I was going 'fore you told me." I knew.

"Well good then." Prodd smiled.
. . .

"Good," said Lone. "About Jack." He nodded

vehemently. "Good." And he picked up the
scythe.
He worked a bit, then looked after Prodd.
Walks slower than he used to, he thought. It was
true, and there were more wrinkles on Prodd's
face, too.
But they were mostly from smiling. Especially
these days.
Lone did not smile.

whispered and cooed. One stroked her soft snuggled against her. It said,

When Ma saw Lone, she hugged him hard. Something
uncomfortable stirred in Lone. He wanted an ax. He
thought ail these other things were settled. "You sit right
down there and I'll get you some breakfast.
Prodd asked, "What you doing now, Lone?" Lone said,
"Working.Up there." He moved his hand. "In the woods,
Lone? Doing what-trapping?"

Lone knew he was Janie read as slowly and as carefully as she could. She Down in the cold

This house was just the happiest thing of all. It was a big
house on a hill with a big wall around it. Bonnie had found
it.They'd had a terrible time Finding some way to get Janie
in, though, until Beanie fell into the brook where it went
through the fence, and came up inside.

There were plenty of places for hide-and-seek, and

there was even a little room with chains on the walls, and
bars. . .

 They had been happy ever since they got here and
much of the hectic time before that. They had learned
that the twins could appear inside a space, like a store at
night, and unlock the door from the inside when it was
fastened with some kind of lock that Janie couldn't move.
It went much faster with the ax. Lone wanted to be able to
be only what he knew he was alone. But eight years at
the farm had changed his life. He needed shelter. The
He was hunting for stones for the fireplace when an
invisible something began to tug at him. He recoiled as if
burned. It was sweet and needful, yes; but it was also the
restimulation of a stinging lash, a crushing kick, and the
greatest loss he had ever known.

The best thing they had learned, though, was the way the
twins could attract attention when someone was chasing

denly sitting on their shoulders, and wetting into their

more he looked at his hidden place, the more homey it
seemed. At First, his work on it was primitive, but soon he
had a wonderful cabin-cave.
For half an hour he tried to ignore the call .and. .
he failed. He rose, and began to walk to the call in a
dreamlike world. The longer he walked, the more ir-

son, he heard the brook. . .

It said, Who will take care of me now? She was looking directly at him.
"Bonnie!" she called sharply, and he felt a great surge of relief. She did
not want him.

Away went the restimulation. Back into the past went the whip and

the bellowing, the magic and the loss remembered still, but back
where they belonged, with their raw-nerve tendrils severed so that
never again could they reach into his present.

He had not known . he had notknown the size of his burden! The

"You're a kidnapper," said Janie. "Know that?"
"What's a kidnapper?"
"Man that steals babies, that's what!"
"Well," said Lone, "ain't nobody going to find out.
Only man knows about it, I fixed it so he's forgotten.
That's the daddy. The ma, she's dead, but he don't know
that either. He thinks she's back East."
The baby lay still with its dull button eyes open, breath-
ing too loudly. Janie stood before the fire, staring
thoughtfully at the stewpot. Finally she dipped into it
with a ladle and dribbled the juice into a tin can. "Milk,"
she said while she worked. "You got to start swiping milk
for him, Lone."
Janie slopped the broth on the baby's disinterested
mouth. "He's getting some," Janie said optimistically.
"Maybe through his ears," said Lone, without humor.
Janie pulled at the baby's shirt and half sat him up. She
frowned, then suddenly said, "Oh, maybe I can!" as if
answering a comment. The twins giggled and jumped up
and down.
Janie drew the tin can a few inches away from the
baby's face and narrowed her eyes. The baby im-
mediately started to choke.
"That's not quite right but I'll get it," said Janie. She
spent half an hour trying. Then the baby went to sleep.
One afternoon Lone watched for a while and then
prodded Janie with his toe. "What's going on there?"
She looked. "Baby's talking to them."
Lone pondered. "I used to hear babies."
Bonnie says all babies can do it, and you were a baby,
weren't you?"
"What I mean is," said Lone laboriously, "when I was
growed I could hear babies."
"You must've been an idiot, then," said Janie. "Idiots
can't understand peoplebutcan understand babies. Bon-
nie told me."
"Baby's s'posed to be some kind of idiot."
"Yes, Beanie says he's different. He's like an adding
machine."
"What's a adding machine?"
Janie exaggerated her patience. "It's a thing you push
buttons and it gives you the right answer. If you have
three cents and four cents, you push a button for three
and a button for four and then you pull a handle. The
machine tells you how many you got altogether."
Lone sorted all this out, then waved toward the'orange
crate that was now Baby's bassinet. "He got no buttons."
"That was just a finger of speech," Janie said loftily.
"Look, you tell Baby some things and he will put the
somethings together and tell you what they come out to,
just like the adding machine does with numbers. I got to
tell you every little thing four times. Now listen, if you
want to know something, you tell me and I'll tell Baby
and he'll get the answer and tell the twins and they'll tell
me and I'll tell you."
Lone sat and thought. "Suppose I got a truck," he said
a half hour later. "It gets stuck in a field all the time; the
ground's too tore up. Suppose I want to fix it so it won't
stick no more. Baby tell me a thing like that?"
"Of course," said Janie sharply. She turned and looked
at Baby. In a moment.she looked at the twins. "He says
stop driving on the field and you won't get stuck. You
could have thought of that yourself, you dumbhead."
