He still had a chance to hide--but before he could propel himself to the other end of the lifeboat, out of sight, Arne Birkerod appeared at the other side of the open airlock.

"Hello, Arne," said Pappas. "I was just checking over the--"
"Good morning, Nick--or good evening, if you like. Let's go up to the control cabin and see Garcia."
"After you," said Birkerod, much more politely than usual.
Pappas smiled uncertainly. He planted both feet against the side of the airlock opening, then jumped off. He floated down the ship's corridor to where it took a sharp bend; there he grabbed a rung of a ladder bolted to the corridor wall.
Birkerod had pushed off harder than Pappas had; he arrived at the ladder at the same time. "After you," he said again.
Pappas saw, at the end of the long corridor ahead, the open door to the control cabin. He pushed off in that direction.
Yusuf Garcia was in the ship's pilot's seat. Garcia was half Brazilian and half Malagasy. His eyes had a strong green tint which looked strange against the deep brown-black of his face.

Birkerod followed Pappas in, taking a seat facing Garcia. "What did you find, Yusuf?" he asked casually.
