inference.

"WeтАЩve overlooked the fact that of the 100,000 time-sleepers, some are on Arkon 3. CouldnтАЩt one of
them have put the bomb under the car? Why should the black sheep be found only among us Terrans?"
Reginald BellтАЩs face was earnest. He had pronounced his last question emphatically, looking at the
Admiral penetratingly.

"LetтАЩs wait to see what the positronicon has to say about it," answered the Arkonide, now evasive.

Bell pounced on the evasion at once. "That doesnтАЩt sound very good, Arkonide! Lame answers like that
one donтАЩt become you."

"Mr. Bell, I must be the last person who would make any effort to defend Thomas Cardif andтАж"

"Oh my stars and long-tailed comets!" interrupted Bell angrily. "Who said anything about defending
Thomas? To defend someone means that heтАЩs been accused, and we havenтАЩt gotten to that point yet!
The only thing lacking now is for that positronicthing to blame the boy for the murder attempt too." His
gaze shifted back and forth between Atlan and Rhodan but neither said anything.

At that moment, almost unexpectedly, the metallic-sounding voice of the gigantic positronic Brain spoke.
 This unimaginably complicated complex of switches and relays understood only objectivity, fulfilling the
task asked of it and, when called for, reaching logical conclusions.

The monotonous voice continued. "The political upheavals which at this time put into question the
existence of the Great Imperium are a sign that he exists."

Bell grumbled with a critical look at the place from which the voice came. "No more than splitting hairs!"

The Robot Brain went on: "It is thus of secondary importance, the matter of who is stirring up unrest.
Furthermore, the influence of Thomas Cardif is so slight that its effect cannot even be measured."

"For as long as Arkon is not able to extend its full power to all reaches of the realm, any action against
the disrupters is ultimately a useless waste of strength because force inevitably leads to counter-forceтАж"

Bell muttered to himself but loudly enough that Perry Rhodan and Atlan could understand him. "For all
the light this is shedding on the matter, the black hole in the Milky Way is a brightly lit parking place next
to it!" But in the next moment he listened attentively.

"тАжSince the unsuccessful attack on Imperator Gonozal VIII, Thomas Cardif is no longer the guiding
spirit among the Galactic Traders. The logical conclusion states with 99.5% probability that Thomas
CardifтАЩs influence on the overthrow movement has become unimportant. All actions undertaken since the
attempted theft of the cell activator lack the distinguishing characteristics that indicate the involvement of
Thomas Cardif. However, the danger of overthrow by force is not any less for it because the historical
development of the Great Imperium itself is in that direction."

"The explosion of the courier car, to which one Terran fell victim, is, according to the results of the
investigation by the robot-police and our evaluation of those results, an attack by theNew Arkonides . It
is suspected, with a probability of 67.45%, that about one-thousandth of theNew Arkonides suffered
brain damage as a result of the long-term sleep. The attack itself is regarded as a single act with no
purpose or goal. The consequences of the attack are only slight in nature."
