11 - Bridge 1
     
    The Groombridge “bridge”:
    A Preliminary Statistical Analysis
    30 Aug 51
     
    One remarkable property of the ESP-inducing creature Tania Jeeves’s team brought back from Groom-bridge 1618 is that the creature “tunes” itself to individuals. It seems to be most sensitive, or most efficient, with the first person who comes into contact with it, and less sensitive with each subsequent contact.
    Further, the sensitivity does not seem to decrease with time.
    The effect seems to be the same whether the subject contacts the animal on Groombridge itself, or on Earth. The effect seems to pass through the tactile sensors of the General Purpose Exploration Module without attenuation.
    Statistical analysis was done with a standard Rhine test: a deck of fifty cards, ten each of five easily visualized symbols. Each subject “read” the deck ten times through, on three different occasions. The statistical expectation of correct answers, out of 500 trials, would be 100. As the following table shows, the results were compelling:

    4. Herrick           1      207    3      228    8      195    133
    5. Simone            1      182    2      189    7      170    90
    6. Chandler1         161    3      167    8      156    105
    7. Tobias            1      143    2      135    8      140    76
    8. Fong1            131    3      135    7      119    115
     
     
     
    The control figure is the individual’s score without the Groombridge “bridge,” administered by Dr. Chandler or Dr. Fong.
    Unfortunately the Tamer who first contacted the bridge (Tamer 1 Hsi Ch’ing) did not survive the mission. The surviving subjects are of the opinion that Ch’ing would have consistently scored 500, as he could literally read their thoughts, word for word.
    There seems to be little or no relation between Rhine scores and the identity of the passive partner, the “reader.” Lefavre says that he occasionally notices a feedback condition with Wachal: in reading her mind he often “hears” his own thoughts, as interpreted by Wachal. This effect was even stronger with Ch’ing, but Lefavre hasn’t noticed it with any of the other Tamers.
    Further testing, some of it in a more subjective vein, is being done, mostly on subjects Lefavre and Wachal.
    This committee recommends most strongly that another mission be translated to Groombridge 1618, as soon as possible and for as long as possible.

12 – CHAPTER FOUR
     
    Carol Wachal came out of the muddy water to an unusual sight: Jacque and Ch’ing holding hands.
    “What about this animal, Ch’ing. . .” Neither man said anything as she approached them. Then Ch’ing took her hand and gave her the animal, holding on:
