Administrator somewhat. But now he felt rather uncomfortable under the penetrating gaze of those grey
eyes. Allan D. Mercant was staring at him sharply, too. Both men continued to remain silent, which
increasingly grated on LemmonтАЩs nerves.

Perry Rhodan then leaned back and crossed his arms on his chest. Mercant reached for the strips,
staring at them but not reading them. In the spartanly furnished office of the Defence Chief silence
reigned. Lemmon interrupted it by clearing his throat but he was unable to get out a word.

"Lemmon, how did you arrive at your suggestion?" Perry Rhodan asked.

His unclassifiable para-perception was awakened in Frank Lemmon, prompting his counter-question:
"Sir, isnтАЩt my suggestion the result of a logical deduction?"

Rhodan ignored the remark. "What doyou know about the Druuf linear hyper-propulsion, Lemmon?"

"Nothing, except for the fact that the Druufs allegedly possess propulsion units faster than light and that
upon exceeding the speed of light, transition into hyperspace is not advisable. But whether that version is
correctтАж"

"It is correct, Lemmon!" Rhodan interrupted. "Where did you obtain your knowledge?"

Without hesitation Lemmon replied: "From research team 065-propulsion. We worked together for one
week while investigating the Rabintorge case."

"Thanks!" Rhodan hastily said, turning his gaze to Mercant, who read in it a request for his opinion.

"Sir, we really shouldnтАЩt let any opportunity slip by, especially nowтАж"

MercantтАЩs position was not extremely clear; at least so it appeared to Lemmon. However, Rhodan must
have understood it differently, for he nodded to his Solar Marshal and said in conclusion: "Make all the
necessary arrangements."

"We know more about this Rabintorge than he does about us, sir." Mercant now presented his
information about the peculiar case. "The student has never come in contact with beings of extra-solar
intelligence. His skill in mathematics and physics that show traces of Arkonide hyper-mathematics, are
inexplicable. Even more puzzling is the fact that he first learned to read and write at the age of 15."

"And this student is definitely not an Arkonide, Mercant, an Ara or Ekhonide?"

"No. Out of the question. Rabintorge is a Terranian and a first-class physics and mathematical
theoretician!"

Rhodan grinned at Mercant. "IтАЩm not accustomed to hearing you use superlatives. But thatтАЩs all right!
Get me that man and put him to work under unobtrusive surveillance. You, Lemmon, I would like to
thank right now for your work." Rhodan stood up and reached out to shake hands.

"Sir, it was no great achievement," Lemmon protested, never having expected praise of this sort.

"Naturally not Rhodan remarked and smiled. "Anyone who can sleep as well as you often does not even
notice the effort because excessive energy simply compels him to action. Did you sleep well last
