Cluster M-13, in order to take care of important matters before returning to the threatened planet, Earth.

The positronic Regent waited in vain for the next hyperspace transition.

It was never registered; theGanymede тАЩs hyper-compensator absorbed the space warpage so that there
were no consequent tremors transmitted. WhileTAL 153 turned away toward its home sector of the
cluster at normal light-speed, Col. FreytтАЩs ship initiated a second hypertransition, which still did not quite
point to the side arm of the Milky Way, in which there was a system containing the planet Terra.




3/ "THEY ARE MONSTERS!"



Topthor the Mounder received the information transmitted to him from Headquarters that Perry
RhodanтАЩsTitan and hisGanymede had taken off on a course toward the centre of the Galaxy, which was
probably toward their own solar system.

"Sirger," said the green-skinned oldster with a grim smile, "Headquarters is dripping with friendliness it
seemsтАФbut will somebody please let me know whatтАЩs hidden behind your sweetness and light?"

The eternally suspicious Topthor could not be taken in so quickly.

Sirger, information officer at Mounder Headquarters, did not strike a convincing pose on the
viewscreen. "Sir," he admitted somewhat meekly, "we still cannot reach your friend Talamon."

"Neither can I!" growled Topthor and his mood became worse. He began frankly to have his doubts
about TalamonтАЩs fate and that of his fleet. "But wasnтАЩt there some kind of minor skirmish yesterday
between 3 Springer ships and RhodanтАЩsGanymede ? Am I not correctly informed? It was reported to
me that theTAL 153 , a battleship from TalamonтАЩs fleet, got into the last part of it and fought it out with
theGanymede , in order to give the tradersтАЩ boats a chance to escape but at the last minute this accursed
Rhodan showed up in hisTitan тАж"

"Sir, all that is valid. We have the identical reports before us. But theTAL 153 had to retreat when the
Titan appeared and since then has not given any sign of itself. We are groping completely in the dark."

"RhodanтАж" Topthor uttered the name threateningly yet with a note of helplessness. "Wherever that
fellow shows up there are always unheard of impossibilities and riddles!тАж End of message, Sirger.
Thanks for the transmission and inquiry."

 TheGanymede had made a lightning swift journey back to Earth. After 3 transit jumpsтАФunder detection
shielding of the hyper-compensatorтАФit had finally emerged into normal space between Earth and Mars.

Now the mightyGanymede stood firmly on its 4 tail fins and stretched its gigantic fuselage skyward. Its
prow disappeared in the heavy cover of clouds which lay over the Gobi Desert.
