"Maybe the New Power hasтАж" began Tiff, but Captain Hawk shook his head.

"According to the last radio message we received from the Academy, Perry Rhodan has no other
destroyers at present out in space. We are the only ones. If I didnтАЩt know so well this type of shipтАж"

But he couldnтАЩt manage to complete his sentence and reveal to his two pupils what then would be the
case.

A blinding flash came from in front of them. An almost orange-coloured light-ray leapt from the nose of
the other destroyer and sped faster than the human eye could follow toward the Z-82.

Captain Hawk didnтАЩt react fast enough and also Tiff was taken by surprise by this sudden attack.
Although he bent over to the left and slammed his fist on the lever, still the energy envelope enveloped
them just the fraction of a second too late.

Fortunately for them, the pilot of the other destroyer turned out to be a miserable shot. That is
fortunately for the Z-82 but this luck did not include Captain Hawk.

The hostile energy ray didnтАЩt pierce the hull of the training shipтАЩs nose but it was as if the ship had run
into a solid wall. Even the GтАЩs neutralizers couldnтАЩt help them out any longer. The force of the sudden
impact hurled Captain Hawk out of his seat and threw him violently, head forward, against the control
panel of the navigator brain.

Tiff, too, was jerked forward, but he managed to brake the sudden impact with his outstretched hands.
He sprained both wrists, though he didnтАЩt notice this at all at the moment.

Cadet Eberhardt had more luck than sense. He was the only one to have fastened his safety
beltтАФsomething everyone neglected as a rule. Although the safety belt almost rent him in two, it
nevertheless saved him from sharing HawkтАЩs fate. For by the time it would have occurred to Eberhardt to
stretch out his arms and brake his fall forward, at least another two and a half seconds would have
elapsed. And that would simply have been too long.

Tiff took in with once glance that his trainer was dead. His skull had been smashed by the impact against
the control panel. But there was no time now to worry about the dead man. There were far more urgent
things he had to do firstтАФfar more important.

After the apparently unsuccessful attack the other ship had made a turn and set out again for a frontal
attack. With one leap Tiff swung himself into the now empty seat of the trainer and took over the
controls. He moved out of the way by curving sharply to the right, accelerated and went over to attack
the unknown enemy. All the while the wildest ideas were coursing through his brain.

Who was the pilot of the attacking destroyer? It couldnтАЩt be anybody from the Space Academy, that
was totally unthinkable. And that a ship of the New Power was attempting to shoot down their own
spacecraft was just as unlikely.

But who else could it be?

Tiff had no idea that Perry RhodanтАЩs greatest enemy had stolen three destroyers and had now
proceeded to man them with his weak-willed tools who had been ordered to shoot on sight anything that
was part of the New Power.
