Eenif gestured toward the metal wall through which both of them could esp the new world in all its glowing colors.

Daddy, I've tried and tried to ESP you. Truly I did. But you don’t ESP worth anything.

It’s wrong to think that cybernetic machines have no feelings, especially the ones able to esp. Through long dealings with humans they have learned the latter’s limitations and sympathise with them.

They have esp and are telepathic. You think the questions and they write the answers. They read books by esping them. I’ve seen one hold a pen in a dozen fibers like long hairs and make a copy of what it had no eyes to see.

‘I am Lifeboat 324-A,’ the boat esped again.

As soon as we heard the screech of brakes and rubber we esped the place.

‘If you’re sorry now, what will you be when a court-martial gets hold of you?’ ‘But I—I didn’t say anything, sir. I just sort of, well, wanted to know how my wife was. You don’t talk when you esp. You just—’ ‘Knock it off,’ ordered Kedrick explosively. ‘You can tell all that to Commander Lineback. I can assure you, though, that he takes a dim view of you right at the moment.’

I began to get impatient. ‘All I want from you, Mario, is some information.’ The gleam of avarice in the waiter’s eyes was quickly replaced by a look of wariness. ‘How did you know my name?’ ‘I have ways of knowing things,’ I told him mysteriously. Actually, I wasn’t sure whether I has esped his name or whether it was the only Italian one I could think of on the spur of the moment.

We have no legal proof and there’s no law against esping a machine to win.

‘You’d better tell me all of it.’ ‘I thought you’d have esped me enough to know it.’ ‘Rummaging around in anyone’s mind is no pleasure, Gattes, and I would rather not do it unless it is necessary.’

She used E.S.P. to send a thought message directly to her big brother’s mind: Did you remember to turn on the anti-gravs, Klatu? she esped. Of course I turned on the anti-gravs, Klatu esped back. I am not stupid, Ploo. When Ploo wasn’t looking, Klatu reached over and turned on the anti-gravs.

She wasn’t crazy about the hyphen either, thought it an affectation... not that she said it openly, but she and I always ESPed each other. When she first saw his name written out, she’d said ‘Hyphen Cruz?’ Puerto Ricans were less enamored of apellidos compuestos, two surnames linked by hyphen, than other Latinos.
