anyway."

Bell agreed. "LetтАЩs get started!" he ordered. "We donтАЩt have any time to lose."

He took the lead of the little troop. They stooped to enter the tunnel. BellтАЩs helmet-lamp illuminated the
way. It looked as if the shaft stretched for miles under the ground and its straightness made Bell suspect
after the first few steps that it was not created by nature.

For the time being there was no other indication for his assumption. He kept it to himself, forgetting that
John Marshall and Betty Toufry could read his thoughts very well.




2/ "KILL THE ALIENS!"



The tension grew on board theTitan .

For days the mighty ship waited motionlessly in space for a signтАФeither from Talamon, the Mounder on
Laros, or from Reginald Bell.

TheTitan had come here to use the last chance there was to prevent the attack on Earth threatened by
the Springers. The Springer patriarchs had heeded a call. from one of their related branches, the Aras, to
assemble on Laros. On Laros, the 18th moon of Gom, the Aras had a secret power base.

Perry Rhodan had a single ally in the camp of the Springers. Talamon the Mounder had informed
Rhodan that a rejection of the plans for the attack could not be expected. Therefore RhodanтАЩs mutants
had infiltrated Laros led by Reginald Bell with the help of Talamon in order to sabotage the conference.

Bell had succeeded in falsifying the program of the only positronic computer left to the Springers which
still contained data about the galactic position of Earth in its memory bank. It was part of the positronic
equipment of the Springer ship which was owned by the Mounder Topthor. Topthor was TalamonтАЩs
friend but by no means shared his opinions. Topthor had no inkling that his positronic computer would
furnish data about the Earth pointing in the direction of Betelgeuse in case he consulted it but he
suspected that Talamon played a perfidious game with the patriarchs and the Aras. Talamon had even
admitted it without revealing his secrets and he had managed to keep Topthor quiet by promising him
lucrative profits.

Bell and his men were eventually discovered. They managed to escape in a Gazelle taken from
TalamonтАЩs ship but not without a hard fight. Talamon had great difficulties convincing the patriarchs that
he had no knowledge of the aliensтАЩ presence.

After their initial triumph with their successful escape, Bell and his mutants were drawn in their craft by a
mysterious power to the surface of Gom. Marshall had sent a telepathic emergency call to Rhodan and
informed him about the events taken place on Laros, as well as about the altered program of the shipтАЩs
positronic.

The course of the ill-fated Gazelle clearly indicated that it would go down on Gom. Marshall had
