Eventually the "_Starshine_," alone in space as no other / space-ship had been alone in twenty thousand years, behaved like a / sentient thing. At first, of course, her actions were frenzied, almost / insane, as if the Disciplinary Circuit waves which made Dona a statue / of agony and kept Kim frozen with contorted muscles could affect the / space-ship too.
Wildly the little vessel went upward through air which screamed as it / parted for her passage. She yawed and swayed and ludicrously plunged / backwards. The screaming of the air rose to a shriek, and then to a / high thin whistle, and then ceased altogether. Finally she was free of / the air of Alphin III.
