Changes

The next morning, Adams and his crew set about building their transmitter and unshipping the power core. Robby arrives and delivers the lead shielding. But Robby has also brought Altaira with him, though one senses that Altaira stretched a point of her father's orders "not to go anywhere near the ship." When the cook takes to ogling Altaira, Adams orders the men driving their electromagnetic tractor to pick up the cook and haul him away. But later, the cook asks Robby to meet him privately and gives him a bottle of Kansas City bourbon to analyze. Robby promises to synthesize 60 gallons of this [[alcoholic drink]], which amazes the cook.

Adams, meanwhile, cannot stop his executive officer from trying to teach Altaira how to kiss, which results in an awkward scene. Adams dismisses Lt. Farnam and then tells Altaira that she ought to dress more modestly in the presence of his crew, "who have been locked up in hyperspace for three hundred and seventy-eight days!"

Altaira goes back home and tells her father about the awkward interaction, and says that she does not like Adams, who looks at her with an obviously burning passion that she cannot understand. Morbius tells her that she need not see the men again, but he is much troubled when she tells him the full particulars of her interactions with Adams and his exec.
