"Your suite will be converted in about two hours. The Life Stage Cordon will begin as soon after that as you want. If you tell me how long you'll need it, I can make arrangements now." "About ten hours is all I'll need." Cassal rubbed his jaw reflectively. "One more thing. Put a perpetual service at the spaceport. If a ship comes in bound for Tunney 21 or the vicinity of it, get accommodations on it for me. And hold it until I get ready, no matter what it costs." He flipped off the intercom and promptly went to sleep. Hours later, he was awakened by a faint hum. The Life Stage Cordon had just been snapped safely around his newly created suite. "Now what?" asked Dimanche. "I need an identification tab." "You do. And forgeries are expensive and generally crude, as that Huntner woman, Murra Foray, observed." * * * * * Cassal glanced at the equipment. "Expensive, yes. Not crude when we do it." "_We_ forge it?" Dimanche was incredulous. "That's what I said. Consider it this way. I've seen my tab a countless number of times. If I tried to draw it as I remember it, it would be inept and wouldn't pass. Nevertheless, that memory is in my mind, recorded in neuronic chains, exact and accurate." He paused significantly. "You have access to that memory." "At least partially. But what good does that do?" "Visual projector and plastic which will take the imprint. I think hard about the identification as I remember it. You record and feed it back to me while I concentrate on projecting it on the plastic. After we get it down, we change the chemical composition of the plastic. It will then pass everything except destructive analysis, and they don't often do that." Dimanche was silent. "Ingenious," was its comment. "Part of that we can manage, the official engraving, even the electron stamp. That, however, is gross detail. The print of the brain area is beyond our capacity. We can put down what you remember, and you remember what you saw. You didn't see fine enough, though. The general area will be recognizable, but not the fine structure, nor the charges stored there nor their interrelationship." "But we've got to do it," Cassal insisted, pacing about nervously. "With more equipment to probe--" "Not a chance. I got one Life Stage Cordon on a bluff. If I ask for another, they'll look it up and refuse." "All right," said Dimanche, humming. The mechanical attempt at music made Cassal's head ache. "I've got an idea. Think about the identification tab." Cassal thought. "Enough," said Dimanche. "Now poke yourself." "Where?" "Everywhere," replied Dimanche irritably. "One place at a time." Cassal did so, though it soon became monotonous. Dimanche stopped him. "Just above your right knee." "What above my right knee?"
