isnтАЩt accusing me of trying to set up a dictatorship. He even points out that my co-
workers and I have never misused the power we hold through the Emergency
Powers Act. He doesnтАЩt shy away from charging treason butтАжтАЭ
тАЬTreasonтАж! Treason!тАЭ choked Bell angrily. тАЬThatтАЩs a lot of nonsense and for
us the most dangerous kind of nonsenseтАжтАЭ
тАЬYes, because we havenтАЩt informed the citizenry sufficiently even in that
respect. And thatтАЩs why IтАЩll be grateful if the representatives should happen to
remember that they have the right to summon us before parliament. On the other
hand, I have a fear it might trigger the underground revolution into lifeтАжтАЭ
Bell stared at him. тАЬUnderground? Did I understand you correctly? The plotting
and the conspiracies have already started?тАЭ
тАЬHere, see for yourselfтАж!тАЭ With that Rhodan reached to the left and removed a
newspaper from atop a stack of reports. He shoved some of the reports towards
the surprised Bell.
The longer Bell read, the longer his face grew. тАЬThatтАЩs enough,тАЭ he said finally.
тАЬAnd all these reports are for today. And they all concern NicktownтАЩs article. But,
you see, wasnтАЩt I right to fear something like this was in the works? Ever since
last New YearтАЩs Eve, when I picked up a champagne glass that was made of
guaranteed unbreakable glass but it broke anyway andтАФтАЭ
тАЬBe quiet for once!тАЭ Rhodan snapped. But Bell was not to be stopped.
тАЬWhy? ThatтАЩs what happened! I cut my thumb tip on the pieces and if you think
about itтАжтАЭ
 тАЬI think it would be better if you were to employ your mental efforts on the
problems weтАЩre facing now, Reggie,тАЭ Rhodan admonished him, his tone not very
friendly. тАЬNow, if you would, call Hank Donneld in the Information Department.
Our news policies must be revised from the ground up or weтАЩll only go through all
this over again in the near future. And what could happen then, I donтАЩt dare try to
imagine.тАЭ
тАЬHasnтАЩt Nicktown prevented us from getting the expanded Emergency Powers
Act passed with his article? Because if, besides the press, heavy industry protests,
and the banks get cold feet because of it, the consumers will join in the outcry and
then weтАЩll have just what we donтАЩt need while that interstellar gypsy Cokaze and
his people are cosily settled on Earth, Mars and VenusтАФRevolution!тАЭ
тАЬFinally,тАЭ Rhodan sighed, leaning back in his chair. He smiled at Bell. тАЬFinally
your thoughts are moving in the right direction. For that alone I can be grateful to
Mr. Nicktown and his aggressive articleтАжтАЭ
тАЬNow wait a minute,тАЭ said Bell, showing once again that he was confused. тАЬAre
you speaking in a foreign language today or is my mind going? What did you just
say? That my thoughts are moving in the right direction and you have to be
grateful to NicktownтАж?тАЭ
тАЬRight! We need that expanded Emergency Powers Act to have more freedom
of action. If we publish a description now in the official bulletin of what the law
will make possible, it would be tantamount to calling the citizens of the Solar
System to the barricades. But if we have it passed by Parliament, then weтАЩll have
formally created a base on which we can move much more freely than up to now.тАЭ
тАЬBut I still donтАЩt understand why you feel you have to be grateful to
Nicktown,тАЭ said Bell, shaking his head.
тАЬHis article will force Parliament to convene! He has made the representatives
remember their rights, and even if it comes to a vote of confidenceтАж Well,
Reggie, itтАЩll be far better to fight it out on the floor of Parliament than come under
