Marshall asked pensively without expecting an answer: "What did you expect to find on Gom?"

Ivan Ivanovich Goratschin, the two-headed mutant, brashly piped up with one of his heads: "Booze and
beautiful babes!"

The older head chortled and turned to the side while the younger cocked his head and said
mischievously: "It was he who said it."

Bell gnashed his teeth and commented loud enough for everybody to hear: "Dumped in a desolate hell
with a bunch of idiots to depend on!"

They tried once more to get in touch with theTitan . The most efficient telepath of the Mutant Corps,
that little furry animal Pucky, was aboard theTitan . Betty and John Marshall joined their efforts to relay
a signal to Pucky in order to inform him where and in what predicament they had landed.

But instead of an answer from Pucky they received confusing and senseless thought-impulses of such
intensity that Marshall was willing to bet they came from their own planet Gom.

"What do you propose to do now?" Bell asked grimly. "Are you ready to settle down here for life?"

Marshall smiled. "YouтАЩre the leader of our group and we thought youтАЩd come up with a good idea."

"Balderdash!" Bell snorted. "My insignia isnтАЩt going to get us out of this mess but I figured that you with
your superbrains would hit on a useful solution in no time at all."

Betty Toufry interjected: "I donтАЩt believe we can do more than wait. Perry Rhodan knows weтАЩre in
danger and he can figure out where we wound up. In my opinion all that matters now is that we survive
till theTitan lands on Gom."

"If I only knew how far the libration extends," Bell murmured. "The edge of the dusky zone has already
advanced 300 feet closer to us. If it keeps going like this weтАЩll have to get out of here in a few more
days."

The red band of light which bordered the twilight zone had moved farther up into the black sky. A
constant stream of air had raised the temperature inside the cave from 170 to 200┬░F. The climate control
in their spacesuits worked at top capacity.
 40 hours had elapsed since the crash of the Gazelle. They had endured the ordeal by watching the blue
plants and by tensely waiting for a response to their telepathic callsтАФwhich unfortunately never
cameтАФand by kidding each other with horseplay.

But now the enforced idleness became unbearableтАФand yet there was nothing else they could do
except wait.
