any kindтАФregardless whether atom bombs or human beingsтАФcould be transported within a fraction of a
second via the fifth dimension to any place desired. There had never before existed a more perfect
weapon throughout the entire universe. The most powerful protective energy screens with which the
largest spacecraft might surround themselves proved to be useless when dematerialised bombs were
teleported and detonated inside the ships.

Today, however, Rhodan used the transmitter for peaceful purposes: namely, to teleport the Gazelle far
out into space so that nobody would be aware of this transaction. The Gazelle was a long-distance
reconnaissance craft. In appearance it resembled a flying saucer with a diameter of 90 feet. Its range was
500 light-years. It was armed with energy-rich pulse-ray cannons of Arkonide origin.

Tiff announced that the Gazelle was ready for action.

Thora, Khrest, Marshall and Zernif had already come aboard. Rhodan was still waiting for Pucky, who
was supposed to arrive at any moment now. Rhodan was talking to Col. Freyt, the commander of the
Ganymede .

"If you and theTitan should be attacked, defend yourselves. TheGanymede will move out into deep
space and await orders at the prearranged location. Nobody will be able to find you since your transition
leap cannot be tracked by any space-warp sensor. Of course the situation is different as regards the
Titan , so sheтАЩll remain where she is."

"DonтАЩt worry," Freyt reassured him, "I know how to take care of myself and so does Bell."

Rhodan was about to reply when Pucky suddenly materialized.

"Here I am!" chirped the little mouse-beaver quite unnecessarily since everyone could plainly see him. "I
was busy attacking a whole transport of Mooffs. Tama was with me, of course. I sent Tama and Ras on
their way again."

"WeтАЩve been waiting for you," replied Rhodan. Then he turned to Col. Freyt and took leave of him: "See
you later, Colonel."

Pucky followed Rhodan into the Gazelle. The long range reconnaissance craft stood in theGanymede тАЩs
hangar. The tele-transmitter would hurl it 3 light-months out into space. Neither human eye nor most
technically perfected instrument could register the transition.

All settled in their seats. The hatch closed automatically. The countdown to liftoff began. The ship started
and at the same instant the transition took place.

Rhodan blinked his eyes as he came out of the transition syndrome. He was almost blinded by a sea of
brightly glittering stars. Arkon was in the midst of the globular star cluster M-13, 34,000 light-years
distant from Earth. The stars were crowded together, giving a totally different appearance to space than
Rhodan was used to from the vicinity of his own solar system. There was hardly a dark spot to be found
and the Milky Way grew dim against the radiant splendour of the myriad of suns.

Rhodan looked at his gauges. They were now 3 lims from the red giant sun Voga. The Zarlt was bound
to assume they were still inside theTitan . Things would be different, of course, when theyтАЩd return again
to Zalit.
A few brief manipulations and the hyper-radio set was warming up. Rhodan waited until the screens lit
