"Naturally I believe," interrupted Rous. "Now just consider: about 6 oтАЩclock local time we landed in a
Gazelle scoutship within 4 miles of the village of Keyloghal, in hilly country that was lousy for visibility.
WhatтАЩs our assignment? To look into all this turmoil that an invisible enemy seems to be stirring up on the
planet."

"According to orders, we were to proceed under cover, without attracting attention. So all we had to do
was catch one of the little people who inhabit this world, extract everything he knew from his brain, with
the help of a hyperanalyzer, and then let him loose againтАФnaturally so conditioned that he wouldnтАЩt be
able to recall the incident afterwards."

"Further: we then took an hour to assimilate the new information we had acquired. We altered our
uniforms so that they wouldnтАЩt attract attention in the eyes of the people we had to deal with."

"According to instructions, we then left the Gazelle behind and set out on foot for Keyloghal. We found
there a village that resembled an Earthly farming settlement except for the 6-cornered shape of the
houses. We saw many people driving about in tractor-like vehicles, going out to the fields or returning
from them."

"They even saw us and looked at us in astonishment because we are a head to a head-and-a-half taller
than they are. They could see this difference quite plainly from a distance of 100 yards and we didnтАЩt
come any closer to them."

"They disappeared abruptly, dissolving right into the air. Their tractors and wagons remained where they
were or some kept going until they bumped into the nearest obstruction."

"But the people were goneтАж" Rous got up and took a deep breath. "Do you know why IтАЩve told all this
to you again?"

Rosita shook her head negatively.

"So that you can see that all this is no fairytale," he explained emphatically. "We werenтАЩt hypnotized
either. With our eyes wide open we saw how the whole population of an average-sized village
disappeared within a second. And it doesnтАЩt help us any to consider anything metaphysical in this. It had
to be due to natural causes. And if that is the case, then there must also remain the possibility of solving
the puzzle."

Rosita looked at him thoughtfully. "Do you think maybe a teletransmitter is involved?"

Rous stared at her. "How do you mean?тАФas an explanation for whatтАЩs happened? Like here, for
instance?" He waved a hand over the food-laden table.

"Yes, exactly."

"IтАЩve already considered that. Look at it from what we know about it: We have teletransmitters that we
can set up in one place and with which we can aim at an object in another place. We can then cause such
an object to disappear and can hurl it through hyperspace to a 3rd place. That is a teletransmitter. We
ourselves could also cause all the inhabitants of Keyloghal to disappearтАФbutone at a time , not all at
once! And another thing: if the person we would be transmitting happened to be holding a spoon or a
fork in his hand at the moment, such physical objects would go alongwith him.
