Description
Murdering Stein was easy. Kraag waited until Jonner donned his spacesuit and went out to have a personal look at the asteroid. Even then Kraag held his patience; because he wanted Jonner to come back to the ship unsuspecting.
Kraag sat tensely at the back of the control room while Stein; the navigator and communications man; operated the radio. There was a brief period when Stein talked with Marsport; then he got in touch with Jonner. Until Jonner got some distance from the wrecked ship; most of their conversation was an argument.
