54 THE PRISONER

CHAPTER 54 THE PRISONER There had never been an intruder aboard the Juggernaut, and it was poorly equipped for its first one. The station didn't have a jail, but the intruder had to go somewhere. The humans decided to lock the intruder in an empty room, with a BOSUN robot standing guard. It was the best solution they could come up with. BOSUN 10 carried Roz through hallways and stairways and into an empty room. The walls of the room were bare except for a small round window in the door and another small round window overlooking the sea. "Do not attempt to escape," said BOSUN 10, and then he stepped out and locked the door. His heavy feet settled into place as he stood guard in the hall. That room was now a jail. Our robot was now a prisoner.
