To Bell the Cat by Joan D. Vinge
Another squeal of animal pain reached them from the bubble tent twenty meters
away. Juah-u Corouda jerked involuntarily as he tossed the carved gaming
pieces from the cup, spoiling his throw. Hell, a triad Damn that noise;
its like fingernails on metal.
Orr doesnt know the meaning of surrender. Albe Hyacin-Soong caught up the
cup. It must be driving him crazy that he cant figure out how those scaly
little rats survive all that radioactivity. How they ever evolved in the
first place -
He doesnt know the meaning of the word mercy. Xena Soong - Hyacin
frowned at her husband, her hands clasping her elbows. Why doesnt he
anesthetize them?
Come on, Xena, Corouda said. Theyre just animals. They dont feel pain
like we do.
And what are any of us, Juah-u, but animals trying to play God?
I just want to play squamish, Albe muttered.
Corouda smiled faintly, looking away from Xena toward the edge of the camp. A
few complaints, hers among them, had forced Orr to move his lab tent away from
the rest. Corouda was just as glad. The noises annoyed him, but he didnt
take them personally. Research was necessary; Xena - any scientist - should
be able to accept that. But the bleeding hearts are always with us. No
matter how comfortable a society became, no matter how fair, no matter how
nearly perfect, there was always someone who wanted flas to pick at. Some
people were never satisfied; he was glad he wasnt one of them. And glad he
wasnt married to one of them. But then, Albe always liked a good argument.
Next youll be telling me that he doesnt feel anything either! Xena
pointed.
Keep your voice down, Xena. Hell hear you. Hes right over there. And
dont pull down straw men; hes got nothing to do with this. Hes Piper
Alvarian Jary; hes supposed to suffer.
Hes been brainwiped. Thats like punishing an amnesiac; hes not the same
man -
I dont want to get into that again, Albe said, unconvincingly.
