destroy us. In order to defend ourselves weтАЩll have to determine where we can lay our hands on him. The
only place where he has made his presence felt by his actions is on Honur although we never made direct
contact with him. In my opinion thereтАЩs nowhere a better place to get on the track of this enemy than
Honur."

Rhodan remained silently in his chair for awhile. Then he jumped up and Tiff rose at the same moment.
Rhodan put his hand firmly on TiffтАЩs shoulder. "You know, Tiff, a man who normally makes his decisions
all alone sometimes feels it is good to hear the opinion of somebody else. Before I listened to you I had
my doubts whether itтАЩd be better to seek help from the Arkonides or take matters into our own hands.
YouтАЩve helped me to make up my mind."

Tiff felt happy although his faced looked serious. Rhodan took his hand off Tiffs shoulder and
admonished him smilingly, "But donтАЩt tell anybody about this! IтАЩm afraid my authority would suffer."

Tiff stood at attention. "Of course not, sir!" he said emphatically.

With a wave of his hand Rhodan replied: "DonтАЩt take it so seriously! For now youтАЩll take over the job of
the second pilot until all newcomers have been assigned and adequately trained in their tasks. WeтАЩre
going to remain right here for the time being. I figure weтАЩll be able to take off in 8 or 10 days."

By now Tiff had lost a little of his shyness. "As Second Pilot, sir," he said with a smile, "shouldnтАЩt I know
where to go?"

Rhodan didnтАЩt crack a smile. "Where you have suggested yourself. To Honur, of course."

TheTitan was a truly gigantic vessel.

Its spherical body measured 5000 feet in diameterтАФa separate world equipped with all the
accomplishments of the most modem warтАФand space-travel technology of Arkon.

While Rhodan and his young lieutenant held the talk which would remain indelibly in TiffтАЩs memory, other
important work went on a few hundred feet тАШbelowтАЩ them in one of the medical laboratories where
doctors were busy solving the puzzle to which the original 700 men of theTitan тАЩs crew had fallen victim.

Dr. Eric Manoli was in charge of the research project. He had returned half a day ago aboard the
Ganymede from Earth with a number of other doctors and he was certain they could isolate the poison
which had put the victims in a state of euphoria.

Farther back against the wall of the spacious laboratory a man had been tied to a chair with his arms and
legs so that he was unable to move his body. He sang happily: "тАжover the ocean, over the sea, when will
Matilda be waltzing with meтАж?"

It seemed to give him the greatest pleasure to mix up the two songs. He tried to rock on the chair and
thereby jerked the chair forward.
