Onot appeared as though he were about to say something but then thought better of it. His triangular
mouth closed tightly as he walked away with the lieutenant. A glance at the sky revealed a lowering sun
and he knew that it would soon be night. It was a giant red sun that shone down on the dreary landscape
but it did not rule this system alone. Close beside it was a smaller, greenish companion which was almost
lost to view in the greater orbтАЩs baleful red glow.

After a half-hourтАЩs flight the police aircraft landed at the spaceport of the capital city. An armoured car
brought Onot to the building of the Supreme Tribunal. The scientist had an opportunity to observe his
surroundings through a small window. To his amazement he noted that most of the buildings and houses
in the city exhibited heavy signs of damage. Some of them had been fully levelled to the ground.

A vague sense of guilt assailed him at first but then came that reassuring inner voice again which seemed
to maintain that he was completely innocent.

What about that inner voiceтАж?

Onot sought to remember what he knew about it but his memory failed him. Nevertheless, something
had been there, he thought darkly to himself, but try as he might he could not have told anyone what it
had been. Someone was with him but he could neither see him nor feel him.

He awoke as from a dream when hard hands grasped his arms and jerked him out of the car. He stood
in a high-walled courtyard.

"You can do your daydreaming later," said the lieutenant scornfully. He seemed to have forgotten how
easy the scientist had made his task for him by not putting up any resistance. "The prison cells here are
quiet and solitary."

"Thank you," replied Onot, still lost in thought.

They led him through wide hallways past a countless number of doors and then downstairs into his
prison cell. When the cell door finally closed behind him and he was alone, he breathed a sigh of relief.
Maybe now theyтАЩd give him some time to think in peace. Above on the ceiling there was a gratingтАФthe
air ventilator. Perhaps also a hidden remote camera eye. In the corner was a narrow cot and next to it
were a table and a chair. That was all.

Onot sat down. He supported his head in his hands and sought to recapitulate the past. So much time
had gone by, perhaps 100 or 200 days. He wasnтАЩt sure of anything anymore. Once he had been the
celebrated Onot, the leading scientist among the Druufs. He had given them many discoveries and
inventions.

InventionsтАж?

Onot felt a surge of new hope. Of this hecould be sure! He recalled his last piece of scientific work. He
had built in the spatial stabilizer on board the giant space station. This apparatus had been unique, his
latest invention. It might also be called a time stasis machine. With its help it was possible to build up a
force field in which time became stationary.

Time stasisтАж?
It seemed to Onot as if a light were being cast into the darkness surrounding the happenings for which he
