disturbed Rhodan's plans. His return to the Solar System had been exclusively
motivated by the large positronicon on Venus. The data he needed to locate the
planet Wanderer was anchored in that extensive installation; hence it was only the
computer on Venus that could furnish the required information.
Rhodan spoke the message into a tape and then played it back. "Perry Rhodan,
Terrania to P-computer, Venus. Secret circuit PQ-3 Z4! Instructions for
preparation. Prepare all material for Project Eternal Life-Wanderer! Recall alert
until recontact! Confirmation please!"
He approved of the text so Rhodan gave it to the hypercom. Operating on a fifth-
dimensional basis, it made a simultaneous transmission. Seconds later the answer
arrived.
"P-computer to Perry Rhodan, Terrania! Instructions clear. All material for Project
Eternal Life-Wanderer being prepared. Recall alert until recontact! Agreement
secret circuit PQ-3 Z4! Supplement for completeness: restrictive stipulation for
project Wanderer excludes any representatives. All information will be personally
accessible to Perry Rhodan only. End."
The telecom screen darkened. Rhodan went out to his car and drove back to Freyt's
office. Nothing new had come up there. "Tako, jump over to Capt. Klein's again!"
"Right, sir!"
"Why don't we just all march over to Klein's headquarters?" Bell inquired. "We
would get the progress reports first hand."
"We're staying here," Rhodan decided. "A concentration of the most essential
women and men in Klein's district could only arouse suspicion. I don't want to
expose the headquarters for today's mission to additional danger. Klein must work
under cover as long as possible."
Kakuta carried out his orders, remaining absent longer this time. But the news he
brought back was more encouraging.
"Half of all the combat robots stationed in our territory have been put out of action,
sir. Eight other machines had to be destroyed because they put up resistance.
Captain Klein has no losses to report."
"It's really going without a hitch," Bell said in satisfaction and for a few hours that
remained correct.
When the new dawn broke, every last combat robot had been deactivated. In the
early morning hours the transport to the inspection hall began, where the 2.30-
meter-tall giants were subjected to the same inspection as their colleagues from the
labour caste.
At 7 o'clock Capt. Klein handed in a complete list itemizing the time and place
individual machines had been deactivated. Eleven positions bore the notation
'destroyed'.
"You managed that fantastically," Perry Rhodan praised the Captain. He spoke a
few seconds too soon for at that moment the turning point arrived.

2/ THE IGNITER STRIKES

The characteristic buzzing of the viewcom started automatically just as the droning
of the alarm sounded. Above the screen the red light flashed on at short intervals.
A lieutenant came into focus on the screen. "The robots are on the march, Captain.
They broke out of the hall and are advancing in broad formation on three streets."
The lieutenant held the lens of his apparatus out of the window of his guardhouse
and everyone in Klein's office was witness to the proceedings. More than 1000
