Ferronian books ranged from orange heads to sandy, dark haired people. Now that Ferrol was in
turmoil, the appearance of a remote type stranger might not be a suspicious event.

Soon a harmless Ferron native became a victim of this idea. While walking in the woods he was hit over
the head from behind, and when he awoke he found himself naked.

After he had discarded his flierтАЩs uniform and concealed the neutron ray gun and other small weapons
under his new flowing garments, Deringhouse experimented carefully with the blue berries and finally
succeeded in acquiring a pastel complexion on his hands and face and neck. Then he made haste to put
distance between himself and the village his victim had come from. However, after putting eight or nine
miles behind him he came out onto a forest highway with a growling stomach and a grim resolve to find
something to eat in the next half hourтАФat any cost.



In view of the circumstances, their reception was grotesque to say the least.

In front of the transmitter cells in which they were arriving one after another, a horde of large, husky,
colourfully dressed men was gathered, and they peered into the receiver cages with such a sombre
attitude that it seemed the new arrivals were about to be taken prisoner. Rhodan held a thermo ray
generator in the crook of his arm as he came through the cage door. He paused to look around. None of
the husky guerrillas made any move toward him. They remained where they were and surveyed him with
dark glances. Rhodan waited patiently.

Reginald Bell emerged directly after Rhodan. "Hey!" he grunted, suspiciously. "What have we gotten
into!?" He looked along the line of Sichas and smirked back at them. They neither moved nor changed
expression.

Then came Tako Kakuta. He smiled, as he always did. The Sichas began to show the first signs of
surprise. Apparently they had never seen a person with TakoтАЩs hue of skin.

"If they donтАЩt break the ice soon," Bell muttered, "IтАЩll take a rain check!"

The transmitter spilled out the newcomers in an unbroken procession. Ralf Marten stumbled through the
cage door, followed by the boisterous Wuriu Sengu. When Marshall came through, he was a bit dazed at
first; he was followed by Betty Toufry, sad and solemn eyed as usual. She barely smiled when Rhodan
gave her an encouraging nod.

As they observed the small girl, the wonderment of the Sichas intensified.

IтАЩm not concerned with this group," Rhodan advised his companions. "The city is out there somewhere
nearby. So letтАЩs go!"

The transmitter processing was not finished yet, but those who were still "en route," including the fighter
robots, would easily be able to follow their predecessors. Rhodan walked toward the Sichas, and as they
made no move to get out of his way he went around them. He had not yet passed the last of the hulking
brutes before a deep voice spoke behind him in the Ferronian commercial language.

"All of here bid you welcome!"
