"I can only tell you what we found."
"Well, I don't believe it for a minute," Tom said angrily. "How long
have you and Dad been friends? Twenty years? Twenty-five? Do you really
think Dad would have an accident with a mining rig?"
"I know he was an expert engineer," the major said. "But things can
happen that even an expert can't foresee, mining in the Belt."
"Things like a fuel tank exploding? Not to Dad, they would never happen.
I don't care what anybody says...."
"Easy, Tom," Greg said.
"Well, I won't take it easy. Dad was too careful for something like that
to happen. If he had an accident, somebody _made_ it happen."
