Speaker 1 (00:00):
Chapter eight of The Menace from Below by harl Vincent.
This LibriVox recordings in the public domain. Chapter eight, the
Story of the Pities. Ainsworth presided over the table during
the meal that followed. He glowered continually and spoke not
a word to the captives that was not made absolutely
(00:22):
necessary in the business of dining. His nervous twitchings and
grimaces were a constant source of wonder and irritation to
the visitors. Though Talbot seemed not to notice these peculiarities,
it was evident that the self exiled professor was in
a state of extreme mental strain. Margaret toyed with her
food at first, but soon discovered that she was unusually hungry,
(00:45):
and that the strange viands were really delicious. Several varieties
of fish there were, and meats, which Talbot explained were
obtained from reptilian animals with which the underground realm abounded.
There was no bread, but a mealy tuber of considerable
size and apparently roasted or baked, provided an excellent substitute.
(01:06):
A tart jelly of glutinous consistency and of brilliant purple
color served as a delicious spread and as a condiment
as well. The visitors were much refreshed and heartened. When
the mill was finished, Ainsworth, without so much as excusing himself,
rose from the table and hobbled hurriedly from the room.
He can't keep away from the operating rooms, laughed Talbot.
(01:28):
What sort of experiment is he now engaged in? Jerry
asked Tony, And what is the motive in all of
this work you have done here in Subterranea. I am
not averse to answering all of your questions, replied Talbot,
handing cigars to the two men and lighting one himself,
Since it will be impossible for you to betray us
to the upper world. It is a rather long story,
(01:51):
but I might as well start at the beginning. When
we first entered this realm, after being literally ostracized and
practically forced to leave by our enemy above, we were
astonished to find a near human population. The natives, whom
you have not as yet seen, are apemen of the
same general characteristics as the Pithecanthropus erectus of about a
(02:14):
half million years b c. But they have progressed to
a civilization approximating that of the third Interglacial period, or
about seventy five thousand years b c. When chipped stone
instruments were first made and used, Pithies Ainsworth called them,
and the name has stuck. They have no language, but
are able to use a few guttural sounds, and have
(02:37):
a limited number of combinations of these with the two
vowels ooh and ah for the designation of similar objects.
Thus they pronounced quite plainly Ulaka, their name for this city.
Our first experiments involved changing only the physical characteristics of
these creatures by surgical and medical means. We thus produced
(02:59):
some two thousand of the higher type you saw in
the cavern. These we called Grimaldi, for they are of
about the same physical appearance as the race of that name,
which flourished on the surface some twenty five thousand years
be seen. Later discoveries and experiments enabled us to produce
creatures such as the one who attacked you in the corridor,
(03:21):
truly superman physically, but as yet woefully lacking in brain power.
Did the natives submit willingly to these experiments? Inquired tony, yes,
though in fear and trembling at first. You see, when
we brought our scientific paraphernalia, we performed some stunts for them,
which convinced them that we were gods and were endowed
(03:43):
with powers. They could not hope to overcome the first subjects,
for our experiments were given up more or less as
sacrifices to the new gods. But when the results of
our work became evident, we had no difficulty in obtaining
all the material we wanted. The Grimma they are so
superior to the Pithies physically that even with their dull intellect,
(04:05):
they could not fail to see the advantage in being
thus altered. And then the reconstruction process was painless, since
all radical alterations were made with the subject completely anesthetized.
The later supermen, numbering only about five hundred so far,
have not as yet been released, so the Pithies and
the Grimaldi do not know of their existence Talbot's ambition.
(04:30):
But what is the purpose of all this, asked Charlie testily.
Talbot raised his eyes at the tone of the inquirer's voice. Why,
he said coolly, The main purpose is for the advancement
of science. We are going to create a race of supermen,
endow them with the best brains that can be obtained
from the upper world, and set them loose eventually to
(04:52):
assist us in conquering and ruling the surface. It is
a rotten civilization above, as you must all adm and
ainsworth and eye intend to correct its faults and make
of it a worth while aggregation of peoples. His dark
eyes gleamed with fanatical ambition as he spoke, and Tony
hesitated before propounding the next question you mentioned endowing these
(05:17):
creatures with brains from above? He asked, what does this mean?
It means that we are commencing a systematic kidnapping of
residents of the upper world, with the express intention of
taking from the best of them their knowledge and reasoning power.
In giving it to these supermen we are creating. Charlie
(05:39):
and Margaret stared aghast. Tony's cheeks blanched, and the victims,
he inquired, what becomes of them when their brains have
been taken from them? Talbot shrugged his shoulders. They remain
physically unimpaired and will make good laborers, but they become morons,
(05:59):
or however, they could serve no higher purpose in their narrow,
useless lives above. The knowledge they acquire on the surface
will live on and become mightily useful in bringing about
and sustaining the Golden age that is to ensue Margaret shivered.
I think it is terrible, she said. It is an
outrage that should not be tolerated. Not to be tolerated,
(06:24):
repeated Talbot, with rising inflection. Why, my dear young lady,
we are the tolerators. Who is there to gainsay us,
who to determine what we shall or shall not do.
We are the masters of the world and will soon
show our hand far more effectively than in the minor
expedition that has already been made against your city of
(06:46):
New York. Then there are to be other kidnappings, asked Tony. Yes, indeed,
we must obtain many subjects for these psycho transference operations.
Ten thousand of the supermen are to be equipped with
brains with reasoning power and intelligence as high degree as
can be provided by the not overly well endowed inhabitants
(07:07):
of the United States, And the preliminary campaign of terror,
which will probably continue for the next seven or eight years,
will assist us materially by breaking down the morale of
the peoples of the upper world and leaving them in
a state of demoralization. At the time we finally strike
our decisive blow, and must we remain in this awful
place until we've conquered our world, asked Margaret. Yes. I'll
(07:32):
do my best, though, to protect you three from my
partner and to see that you return safely to your
homes when the time comes. Ainsworth has already requested that
I give you up to him for use in these
psycho transference experiments. Should our project fail, you must always
remain here. I see little likelihood of its failure. However,
(07:53):
Margaret bit her lip and was silent. Charlie gritted his
teeth in helpless rage, while Tony regarded Talbot critically. Jerry
he said, this is an elaborate program you have outlined.
Are you and Ainsworth the sole humans engaged in the undertaking?
Talbot hesitated no. He finally admitted there are about one
(08:14):
hundred others, though they spend most of their time on
the surface. These are radicals who have been banded together
during our several visits to the surface, and they maintain
our contact with the upper world. They have a permanent
encampment atop the Mesa and Arizona, where our long tunnel terminates.
Their homes are visible only from the air and Since
(08:36):
the locality is well off the regular lanes of air travel,
there is little danger of their discovery. They are equipped
with several large planes which are used in transporting our
purchased materials from the points of manufacture to our tunnel entrance.
All purchases are paid for in gold and are ordered
in the name of a mythical mining company, so no
(08:56):
suspicion has been aroused. Ainsworth entered the dining room at
this juncture. He was obviously much excited, and his claw
like hands trembled agitatedly as he spoke. Come, Come, Jerry,
he babbled, It is done. The first of the new
men are ready. They are marvelous. We have succeeded beyond
our wildest dreams. He paced to and fro in his impatience,
(09:20):
his crouching limp becoming more noticeable than ever. Talbot rose
from his chair and followed his partner from the room.
You people may as well join us, he said, over
his shoulder, you'll see some confirmation of what I have
just told you, the human experiments. They followed through one
(09:41):
of the long corridors and into a white walled room
that reeked of ether. Ainsworth carefully opened the door to
an adjoining room, and the visitors followed their captors into
a typical hospital ward, where no less than fifty giant
patients lay beneath their clean white sheets. One in a
far corner of the room was sitting erect in his
cot and staring about him in wonder, as if he
(10:03):
was observing his surroundings for the first time. To him,
Ainsworth led the way at once gorth. He addressed the
blonde giant, how do you feel? In strange contrast to
the first of the giants they had seen, the eyes
of this Gorth were bright with intelligence. Fine, he replied
in perfect English, excepting that I am weak and dizzy.
(10:28):
He raised a huge paw to his forehead in a
wondering gesture. I do not understand, he continued. My memory
of past conditions is somewhat fogged, yet I have the
feeling of having been raised from base savagery. Even the
words I use are unfamiliar to my tongue, yet I
can use them perfectly to express my thoughts. And my
(10:52):
thoughts are of strange things, of a new world where
all is different, where men live in great buildings, travel
in strange conveyances, better lie down now, gorth admonished Ainsworth,
you will not be well enough to get up for
two or three days. Yet he turned to Talbot in triumph,
(11:13):
ignoring the visitors. What did I tell you, he exulted,
rubbing those claw like hands over one another in a
frenzy of nervousness. Talbot's eyes shone with exultation. It is
a success, he gloated. We shall become masters of the world,
you and I, even as we planned. He threw his
arm over the skinny shoulders of his mad partner, and
(11:35):
the two gaze long and earnestly at their handiwork. The
visitors exchanged glances of helpless wonder Well, what do you
think of it? Asked Talbot, turning to the visitors with
a triumphant smile. It is a wonderful accomplishment, commented Tony,
speaking very slowly, yet a criminal one. We cannot approve
(11:57):
of your work, Jerry Talbot indulged in his characteristic shrug,
making no reply. There was a commotion in the adjoining ward.
A masculine voice rose again and again in incoherent shouts,
and Talbot and his limping partner rushed through the connecting doorway.
Closely followed by the three visitors. The sight that met
(12:17):
their eyes was similar to that in the first ward,
with the exception that here the patients were humans who
had been kidnapped in the attacks on the subway tunnel.
The commotion was being raised by a bewildered little man
who scampered about the room, attired only in a regulation
hospital night shirt. When they entered the room, he approached
them timidly, the light of hopeless witlessness in his pale
blue eyes. His voice lowered to a meaningless, confidential babble,
(12:41):
and the visitors sickened at the beseeching look that came
from his puzzled, uncomprehending eyes. He fawned upon Ainsworth like
a pleading dog, and Margaret turned away from the sight
with tears in her eyes. This had been an intelligent man,
a prosperous business man of middle age by his appearance,
But now he was little more than a helpless animal,
(13:02):
bereft of memory, speech and reasoning power. The work of
the experimenters had been complete. My god, Charley burst forth,
unable to contain himself longer. You're a pair of murderers,
worse than murderers. This is the foulest thing I've ever imagined,
the most savage of savages. You you, he stammered in
(13:23):
impotent rage. Talbot looked at him with an uncompromising smile
of tolerance, but Ainsworth snarled like a beast and sprang
for his accuser, twisting his talons into the flesh of
Charley's throat with bestial ferocity. Like a flash, the surprised
prisoner recovered and, with a quick uppercut, smote his mad
attacker a terrific blow under the chin. Ainsworth loosened his
(13:45):
hold with a groan and toppled to the floor in
a senseless heap. Quick as a flash, there appeared in
Talbot's hand a small glass bulb, which glowed with a sudden,
spiteful carmine. This time, there was none of the crackling
blue flame that had marked the ending of Charlie's previous
out burst. There was merely a hum of throbbing intensity,
and Charley's body stiffened to a rigidity like that induced
(14:06):
when they were first captured. His body toppled to the
floor like a log, to lie beside the helpless figure
of the unconscious Ainsworth. That'll be about enough. Of Phrasey's activities,
said Talbot, replacing his weapon in a side pocket. From
now on he is to remain in close confinement, or
he'll be killing Ainsworth. But my promise to you hold good.
(14:27):
You'll not be harmed. Only you must return to your
quarters now and remain there until I call for you.
Tony opened his mouth to speak, his jaws working with fury,
but Margaret slipped a trembling hand over his mouth. Come dear,
she whispered in his ear. Don't make things worse. I'm
depending on you to protect me, you know. Tony subsided,
(14:49):
and he and Margaret walked quietly from the ward as
Talbot bent over his fallen partner and attempted to revive him.
