Arkon T-steel scrap metal and when the business was consummated each clan member had a
considerable sum in prospect.

"So where may this material be had?" By his question Ocxal displayed his interest in the business.

Talamon grinned at all of them in succession. He anticipated their startled reactions. He had stared
incredulously as Perry Rhodan had answered the same question for him: "OnHonur !"

"Where? On Honur?" A note of horror crept into GresjaтАЩs voice.

Talamon grinned and nodded.

"And are we to suppose that exposing ourselves to the Honur Plague is part of the deal? This disease of
euphoric madness?" asked Ocxal sharply.

"Youare blockheads!" Now old Talamon delivered his rebuttal. "Up till now IтАЩm the one who has
brought in the choice business deals and closed them. Afterwards, all you did was stash the money away.
Do you think IтАЩm so decrepit already that I wouldnтАЩt have thought of the Honur Plague? But Rhodan
didnтАЩt forget it either. ThatтАЩs why he wasnтАЩt risking anything by telling me where this scrap pile is. WeтАЩre
only able to take a remote look at the graveyard of ships on this forbidden planet. For the moment, there
seems to be plenty for everybody. We will take an inventory and make a rough estimate. If I understood
Rhodan correctly in our last meeting, we donтАЩt have to pay him a thing. We are merely to keep our hands
off of 5 large freighters and one Arkon battlecruiser. These he wants to reserve for himselfтАж Now, my
clan brothers, is that a piece of business or isnтАЩt it?" said Talamon triumphantly.

Ocxal thought of the plague which had afflicted 700 of theTitan тАЩs crewтАФa hyper-euphoria contracted
from little bear-like animals they had taken on board as pets.

"Rhodan will give us the antidote. Ocxal. Have you forgotten that he was on Aralon with a shipload of
sick crewmembers? Are any of them sick now?"

Ocxal studied his Patriarch reflectively. He did not like the youthful fire in TalamonтАЩs eyes. He had to put
the brakes on him or he could lead the whole clan to destruction. "If Cekztel, the Chief of all the clans,
harbours the slightest suspicion, he will root us all out and exterminate us. And if Topthor gets wind of
this, he will forget whose friend he is! He hates Perry Rhodan with every bone in his body!"

TalamonтАЩs face hardened. "And to make sure the thought wonтАЩt occur to you to pass the word along to
Cekztel or Topthor radio silence will continue to be in force now as it was before our meeting."

He got up and went to his cabin. Meanwhile he had Perry Rhodan on his mind even more than the тАШbig
dealтАЩ. More and more clearly, Talamon came to understand that as long as he himself remained
honourable, he had found in Rhodan the truest of all his friends.
