Public pressure has led to the inclusion of a small contingent of archeologists on a military exploration ship searching for anything that could lead to a strategic advantage home on Earth, where a kind of Cold War drags on endlessly. The scientific types force a delay on a planet covered with ancient ruins—nothing of military import here—or is there? Not bad for one of the earlier stories, and even a situation that bears following up on. Sequel, anyone?
