The cooled droplets of melted metal on the smooth deck of the control room said enough but Rhodan
was never satisfied with halfway answers. He attempted personally to get the equipment into operation
but he soon had to realize how futile his efforts were.

The energy-ring generator of the Gazelle was knocked out, completely ruined for all time. The coils were
burned through and the conductors were melted. Under the circumstances the thought of repairing it was
hopeless.

"At least now we know the actual facts," murmured Bell.

Rhodan nodded. "A small consolation, IтАЩm afraid, because itтАЩs not any help to the members of our
vanished time-expedition. How are we going to get them out of their time prison?"

"We build another generator," suggested one of the mutants.

"Quite right," Rhodan agreed. "ThereтАЩs no other alternative. But in that case weтАЩve got to return to the
Earth. Only the research centre in Terrania has the means to complete such a project. LetтАЩs hope that in
the meantime Rous and his crew donтАЩt lose their courage or hope."

Bell stared pensively at the blank viewscreen of the Gazelle. "If they just donтАЩt lose too much time in the
processтАж"

Rhodan shook his head. "Or we, either," he said and without further ado left the small spaceship. He
knew that they couldnтАЩt accomplish anything more here without losing valuable hours and days.

And so it was that Perry Rhodan returned a 2nd time a few weeks later and landed on Tats-Tor, this
time with a very large and powerful energy-ring generator on board.

They required an entire day to erect the equipment on the desert next to the Gazelle. The technicians
who had come along from the Earth were very confident that their newest creation would function.
Rhodan and Bell hoped they were right.

And also Pucky, of course, who had been permitted to come along this time. The mouse-beaver
waddled gravely along behind the 2 men, his ears sticking straight up and his broad beaverтАЩs tail lending
him both guidance and support. In his brown hound-dog eyes was a faint glimmer of despair but the
intelligent animal maintained an outward appearance that led none to suspect his inner feelings.

Moreover, Pucky was really much more than a mere animal. As a member of the Mutant Corps he was
endowed with at least 3 parapsychological faculties and no one was quite sure whether other gifts of this
nature were not slumbering within him also. At any rate, he was a telepath, a psychokinesist and a
teleporter all in one package, besides being able to speak a number of languages with perfect fluency.
And he possessed an IQ level that many humans might have envied.
 Pucky walked in an upright position, measuring about 3 feet in height. He was a cross between mouse
