however. When the time came he would proceed in accordance with his own ideas.
 They finally fell to discussing things of a more immediate nature. The base had ample quarters to
accommodate the entire crew of theGood Hope . They would be allowed a full freedom of movement
throughout the fortification.

When Rhodan said goodbye to Hopthmar he smiled. "I have a few unusual people with me,
Commander. So donтАЩt be alarmed if some things happen which you have considered impossible until
now."

Hopthmar returned the smile. "I have heard of them. I am anxiously awaiting the first surpriseтАж"

All the transmitters had been installed together in one big chamber. It was the largest station of its kind
that Rhodan had seen. However, Hopthmar indicated that in Thorta there was one that was even larger.
Face to face with the transmitters Rhodan again examined the question of how a race of people like this
had ever come into possession of equipment whose very working medium was hyperspace itself, when
their mental capacity was still insufficient to comprehend and apply the problems of fifth dimensional
physics. The paradox was all too obvious, but apparently only to himself and his own kind. The Ferrons
harboured not the slightest suspicion that their technology wasnтАЩt capable of building transmitters or that
they werenтАЩt capable of understanding the corresponding principles.

"So what do you want to do with this equipment?" asked Khrest.

Rhodan gave him a look. "Quite simpleтАФI want to climb in, be transmitted to Ferrol, take the battleship
away from the Topides, and then give them a battle such as they have never seen in their lives!"

Thora gasped in disagreement "You know as well as we do that that is impossible!" she exclaimed.

Reg Bell had been examining the transmitters, but now he turned at this and looked angrily at her. "With
you I guess everything is impossible," he growled. "DidnтАЩt you ever in your life consider something to be
possible unless it was already an established fact!"

"IтАЩm waiting for news from Ferrol," Rhodan continued. "Somebody there must still have a transmitter,
and given time he might be able to come up with the sending and reception data for a receiver on Rofus. I
am keeping in contact with the Thort and will know immediately if any tie-in with Ferrol becomes
available. We canтАЩt just sit here waiting to the end of our days, howeverтАФif we donтАЩt get a contact, IтАЩll
fly on my own hook to Ferrol. If only the transmitter in the Red Palace were set up to make a reception
at this distance! I don't think the risk is too great."

Thora watched him pensively. "What would you call areal risk!" she asked quietly; but the question was
merely rhetorical.

Tako Kakuta, the fourth member of the group, stood before the largest transmitter and examined it
intently. Rhodan knew what his thoughts wereтАФthese machines made his own capacities comparable to
a single stone in the Pyramid of Giza. After three years of intensive schooling, TakoтАЩs maximum
teleportation distance was about 30,000 miles, but these machines transmitted over three, four, or five
astronomical units. After a while he turned his smiling, childlike face to Rhodan.

"DonтАЩt feel bad, Tako," Rhodan told him. "Someday youтАЩll be able to outjump the transmitters."
