BellтАЩs eyes bulged in amazement. "YouтАЩve got a fantastic imagination!"

Marshall simply shrugged his shoulders but Bell had to admit secretly that his conjectures were not
totally absurd.

A few more hours went by.

Without talking very much they huddled close together near the exit of the cave and kept their eyes glued
on the spot where the 4 mutants had vanished. It was only 3 or 4 miles from the cave and from their
slightly higher vantage point they had a good view of the shapeless dark film which was the subject of
TakoтАЩs report.

However there was no sign of the mutants and BellтАЩs last hopes came to naught.

They had only one serious discussion when Tako and the African Ras Tschubai besieged Bell for
permission to jump together to the brown cover with the intention of obliterating it by using their
thermo-beamers on it.

However Bell denied his permission after consulting with Marshall, who stated that while the telepathic
command had ceased for the time being, the danger persisted that it could be reinstated any time with the
effect that the two teleporters would also succumb to its terrific power.

"Whoever this unknown hypnotist may be," Marshall explained, "he was able to pick up IvanтАЩs,
IshibashiтАЩs, SenguтАЩs and YokidaтАЩs brainwave patterns across the distance of nearly 4 miles. He probably
was helped by some lucky circumstance or weтАЩd have all suffered the same fate; but the danger increases
at a closer distance."

This sounded irrefutable. Kakuta and Tschubai were thus dissuaded from their plans.

Marshall and Betty Toufry attempted time and again to get in touch with Pucky aboard theTitan but all
they could hear was an unintelligible telepathic jabbering.

Meanwhile the edge of the twilight zone had advanced a few more steps toward them.

Bell racked his brain about what he could do to ameliorate the situation of his people but his mind was a
blank. There was little to go by and each idea seemed as foolhardy as the other. Waiting still appeared to
be their best bet.

GomтАЩs 18 moons followed their paths in the dim sky, sometimes in groups of twos, threes, fours or fives.
The largest and most distant one was Laros, where the Springers and the Aras plotted the invasion of
Terra.

And still farther out in space, at a distance of 20 light-years, theTitan stood by, protected by its
