friends had beat you up. More trouble?тАЭ
тАЬI beat up Wullewull!тАЭ asserted Pucky energetically. тАЬHeтАЩs always creating
problems. Besides, heтАЩs much too ugly for Biggy. In addition, sheтАЩs engaged to
Ooch.тАЭ
тАЬComplicated family affairs,тАЭ droned Koster and shook his head. тАЬHopefully,
even under these circumstances, youтАЩll be in, a position, when necessary, to set up
the telekinetic block that was planned. I can imagine that through the lack of
unityтАжтАЭ
 тАЬDonтАЩt worry, Major,тАЭ Pucky assured him. тАЬReally, itтАЩs all in fun. If it comes
right down to it, I can rely on my friends. Homunk, do you need a spacesuit?тАЭ
тАЬNot really. A vacuum doesnтАЩt bother me.тАЭ
тАЬThen wait here; IтАЩll be right back.тАЭ
When Pucky had dematerialised, Koster stared darkly at the screen. тАЬIтАЩm not
sure weтАЩre doing it the right way. Maybe the pretended wreck would have been
the best solution.тАЭ
тАЬPuckyтАЩs the boss,тАЭ Homunk said, and grinned in a very human way. тАЬAnd
frankly, IтАЩm glad of a change. Maybe weтАЩll know all in another hour.тАЭ
It didnтАЩt take even that long.

The two figures stood on the round hull of the EX-238 quite near the North
Pole. The gravity of the huge sphere held them fast. Around them was the
universe. To the naked eye the Silver Arrow was not visible but Pucky was in
thought-contact with Koster. From him he found out what the co├╢rdinates were.
Iltu acted as relay station and gave PuckyтАЩs directions to the commander.
тАЬOver there, the shimmering red sun, Homunk. ThatтАЩs our direction. It would
be simpler if I could receive thought impulses from the aliens but there arenтАЩt any.
Either the whole crew consists of robots or they know something about telepathy.
It could be that they habitually shield their thoughts. The way back to the EX-238
will be easy, though. We only have to take bearings on the thoughts of the crew,
thatтАЩll be enough. Besides, IтАЩm maintaining contact with Iltu.тАЭ
It was an unforgettable sight, even Pucky had to admit. The dense
conglomeration of stars here in the Milky Way outshone everything else. From
here, one could no longer recognize the neighbouring galaxies. Their dim nebulas
were outdone by the gleam of the million suns that here were concentrated in a
relatively confined area. It was bright on the artificial body named EX-238 but
Homunk and Pucky threw no shadows for the light emanated equally from all
directions.
тАЬLetтАЩs goтАФwhat are we waiting for?тАЭ Homunk extended his hand to Pucky. тАЬI
hope you can manage this long stretch. After all itтАЩs 7 light-seconds.тАЭ
тАЬIтАЩve teleported across light-years!тАЭ
Pucky took HomunkтАЩs hand, concentrated for a last time on KosterтАЩs running
stream of information, closed his eyesтАФand dematerialised. Homunk disappeared
with him.
When Pucky could see again, he and the android were floating in space. The
EX-238 had disappeared, lost somewhere in the jumble of suns. They had missed
their objective by a few kilometres. The Silver Arrow stood seemingly motionless
in front of them; in reality it was streaking through space at the same rate as they.
A short tele-jump brought them onto the hull of the alien vessel.
