 1/ MENACE OF THE SILVER ARROWS

NO MIRAGE.
The silver arrow was certainly no mirageтАФits image was right there on the
telescreen. Seemingly motionless, it hung among the thousands of stars that
constituted the centre of the Milky Way. This inner centre had a diameter of only
30 light-years and a volume of more than 8000 cubic light-years. In an average
cubic light-year there was one sun.
тАЬThereтАЩs another!тАЭ Maj. Lan Koster, in charge of the EX-238, tried,
understandably, to keep his voice calm but his excitement was immediately
detected. And no wonder, for his first officer was Homunk, an android from the
planet Wanderer.
тАЬThis time we mustnтАЩt lose it, sir,тАЭ said the artificial humanoid. тАЬWeтАЩre getting
closer and closer to its probable baseтАФand weтАЩve got to find it.тАЭ
Lan Koster nodded agreement. He was a middle-aged man, corpulent yet lithe.
A look at his papers would have revealed, to oneтАЩs surprise, that he had been in
charge of various space exploration craft for nearly 20 years.
тАЬDirect course toward alien object!тАЭ navigation officer Koster commanded and
then turned toward Homunk. тАЬTake over now, Homunk. I have toтАж erтАж talk to
my commander. You understandтАжтАЭ
The android nodded. Something like a human smile flickered over his almost
Terran features, then he took his place in the commanderтАЩs seat vacated by Koster.
The next second he seemed to have forgotten the major. He lifted his eyes to the
front screen. It was as if he were trying thus to hold onto the alien ship that they
had now been following for hours.
Lan Koster left central control and slowly proceeded toward the main elevator.
He took his time. He had every reason to, for when he rightly thought about it, this
was the craziest assignment of his life.
Never before had he had such a mixed crew aboard, especially if he counted the
passengers along with the crew. He could put up with Homunk, even though the
android seemed to have little sense of humour. Also the research robot FR-7
would do in a pinch, even though he was always wanting to be smarter than
anybody else and was fully aware of the superiority of his positronic thought
processes. As to the rest of the companyтАФexcept for the basic crewтАж
Koster sighed. He entered the antigravitation elevator and floated downwards.
 As for himself, he would have thought it perfectly normal to decline the
assignment. Not really because it was particularly dangerousтАФthat would hardly
have put Koster offтАФbut because of the conditions connected with the
undertaking.
First of all, Homunk. An artificial man, an android had become his first officer
