The narrative revolves around themes of ambition, jealousy, and betrayal set against a backdrop of advanced technology and scientific experimentation. The story follows Lewis Crayley, a brilliant engineer, who plots the murder of his rival Berin Klythe, the director of a prominent space engineering firm, using a sophisticated method tied to their work on a revolutionary energy generator. In the story, Crayley feels threatened by Klythe's genius and recent success. As Klythe prepares to oversee the assembly of a new sub-nucleonic generator, Crayley hatches a plan to eliminate him, manipulating the engineering recording process to create an accident. When the generator malfunctions during a demonstration, it results in Klythe's death while Crayley manages to maintain his façade. However, as the investigation unfolds, it becomes clear that Crayley's actions have betrayed him, leading to a tense climax where his subconscious reveals his guilt during the playback of the recording. The story concludes with his fate hanging in the balance as the implications of his plot come to light.
