"I know, Boggs," Wayne said. "Let's forget all about it. There's work to
be done."
"I'm sorry I misjudged you, Wayne. If it hadn't been for your quick
action, this crew would have gone the way of the _Mavis_."
"Just luck, Colonel," Wayne said. "If it hadn't been for those
heavy-soled climbing boots, I'd probably be lying out there with the
rest of you right now."
Colonel Petersen grinned. "Thanks to your boots, then."
Wayne turned to his team of three. "Let's get moving, fellows. We've
wasted enough time already."
"Do we need spacesuits, sir?" Manetti asked.
"No, Manetti. The air's perfectly fine out there," Wayne said. "But I'd
suggest you wear your climbing boots." He grinned. "You never can tell
when they'll come in handy."
