You know, we are likeminded, you and I, my friend, said Lobsang. Lets stick to “acquaintance for now. Lobsang laughed. Of course. I stand corrected. Or rather, float in a disembodied way corrected. But I would like to become your friend. Because, in the abstract, in any given situation, I believe that both of us are interested in finding out, above all, what the rules are. And I believe that you are a remarkably valuable individual. You are smart enough, Joshua you couldnt have survived so much time out alone in the Long Earth otherwise. Oh, there are certainly others smarter than you, they are stacked high in the universities achieving little or nothing. But smart has to have a depth as well as a length. Some smart brushes over a problem. And some smart grinds exceeding slow, like the mills of God, and it grinds fine, and when it comes up with an answer, it has been tested. Thats how it is with you, Joshua. Lobsang laughed again. And by the way my laughter is not a recording. Each laugh is a unique product of the moment, demonstrably different from any other laugh I have ever emitted. That was a laugh just for you. I was human, you know. I still am. Joshua, lets get to know one another. I want to help you. And of course I want you to help me. I cannot think of a better person to go with me on the expedition I am planning, which will involve some very far stepping indeed.
 
I think it might rather appeal to you. You like to be far from the maddening crowd, Joshua, dont you Thomas Hardys title was about the madding crowd. Oh, of course it was. But its a good idea for me to make the odd little slip not to appear allknog, every now and again. Joshua was grog impatient with this clumsy seduction. Lobsang, how are you going to help me I know that what happened to the congressional expedition was not your fault. I can prove it. Now they were getting down to brass tacks, Joshua thought. The assholes, he said. Oh yes, assholes, said Lobsang, and thusly you described them to the preliminary board of inquiry. An unknown species of primate resembling a particularly unpleasant carnivorous baboon. But I suspect the Linnaean Society will not approve your appellation. Assholes I didnt kill those men. Sure, I can get along without people. But I had no reason to kill anybody. Did you read the report Those ass Can we stick to baboons, please, Joshua It looks better on the transcript. It had been a paid jaunt for Joshua, a gig arranged by his old friend Officer Jansson. Youve grown up while Ive grown old, Joshua, shed said. And now Ive got you some government work. Youll be a kind of bodyguard and guide It was an official journey to the far West worlds with a party of scientists, lawyers and a Congressman, accompanied by a platoon of soldiers. It had ended in slaughter. The scientists had been gathering data. The lawyers had been taking photographs of the Congressman setting foot on one world after another, making a kind of visual claim to the stepwise Americas, in order to establish symbolically the aegis of the Datum federal government.
 
The soldiers complained about the food and the state of their feet. Joshua had been happy enough to help the party, for his fee, but sensible enough to make sure his ability to step without a box and without aftereffects was concealed. So he carried a potion consisting of sour milk and diced vegetables that would pass muster as vomit, the product of stepping nausea. After all, who was going to look too closely It all worked fine. They had all bitched, squabbled and complained their way through two thousand Earths, and after every step Joshua faked nausea with splashes of ersatz vomit. And then the murderous attack had come. They were apes, something like baboons, but smarter, more vicious. Superboons, some of the scientists had called them. Assholes, Joshua had decided, watching their pink butts go bobbing into the distance after hed driven them off. Or anyhow, that was his story of what had become of the party. The trouble was there had been no witnesses to back him up, and it had all happened too far out for an expedition to be sent to investigate, so far. The damn things could plan an attack They never bothered me after I killed two of them, but the troops were overwhelmed, and the science guys never knew how to defend themselves worth a damn. And you left the bodies for the baboons You know, its hard to dig a grave with a wooden shovel in one hand while holding a plastic gun in the other. I burned the camp and got the hell out of there. I thought the board of inquirys tentative verdict was rather unfair on you. It left doubt. Now I want you to know that I can prove that what you said was true.
 
I can prove that there is an outcrop of black rock about a kilometre from the campsite by the waterhole, just as you said, behind which still lies the remains of the corpse of the alpha animal, which you shot. Incidentally the rock was lowgrade coal. How can you know all this I retraced your steps. The records you returned were quite accurate. I went back, Joshua. You went back When Yesterday. You got back yesterday Lobsang said patiently, I went and returned yesterday. You couldnt have done Its impossible to step that fast. So you say, Joshua. Youll find out in due course. You did make an attempt to cover the corpses with stones, and you left grave markers, just as you mentioned at the inquiry. I brought back photographic records. Proof of what you said, you see In fact I reconstructed the whole thing. I used pheromone trails, checked angles of fire, the lie of the bodies. I found every bullet. And, of course, I took DNA samples. I even brought back the alphas skull and the bullet that killed it. It all fits with your testimony. None of the soldiers put up an effective defence when your assholebaboons attacked, did they The superboons are maniacs by the standards of the animal world.
 
Appallingly aggressive. But I dont think they would have attacked if one of the grunts hadnt got nervy and fired first. Joshua squirmed with embarrassment. If you checked all this out, you know I crapped my pants in the course of the engagement. Should I think less of you for that Throughout the animal kingdom, it has always made good sense to jettison the cargo in a threatening situation. All battlefields attest to that, as does every soaring songbird. But then you came back, and stabbed one of the superboons in the brain, and drove off the rest, stopping only when youd shot the leader dead. You came back, and that excuses a lot. Joshua thought for a moment. OK. Thats leverage, all right. You can clear me. But why do you want to recruit me in the first place Well, we discussed that. Its the same reason Jansson suggested you for Congressman Poppers party in the first place. You have Daniel Boone syndrome, Joshua. Very rare. You dont need people.
 
You quite like people, at least some people, but the absence of people does not worry you. Thats going to be very useful where were going. I dont expect to meet too many other human beings once the expedition is under way. Your assistance would be of great help to me because of that quality: you are able to focus, youre not distracted by the extraordinary isolation of the Long Earth. And, as Officer Jansson saw from the beginning, your unique stepping talent, your ability to step unaided and, more important, to recover quickly from each step, will be useful if trouble strikes as it surely will. The rewards to you, should you agree to accompany me, will be excessively generous, and tailored to your particular preferences. Among them will be an authoritative account of the massacre of the congressional investigators, totally exonerating you, which will be received by the authorities on the day we depart. Am I worth that much Lobsang laughed again. Joshua, what is worth What is value now, when gold is valued simply for its lustre, because every man can have a gold mine for himself Property The physics of the Long Earth means that every one of us can have a world entirely to himself,
 
if he so wishes. This is the new age, Joshua, and there will be new values, new ideas of worth, including love, cooperation, truth and above all, yes indeed, above all, the friendship of Lobsang. You should listen to me, Joshua Valient. I intend to travel to the ends of the Earth no, to the ends of the Long Earth. And I want you with me. Will you come
