combat robots were streaming out of the hall, flooding the wide front courtyard.
They had already formed into three spearheads, penetrating towards the north, the
west and the east.
"Issue a withdrawal order to all military posts, Captain!" Rhodan cried. "Every last
living being in the vicinity of the hall is to retreat at least 500 meters and take
formation. Mutants to Col. Freyt at headquarters: get going, Colonel! Reggie,
you come with me!"
The two friends jumped into Rhodan's car and raced off in the direction of the
positronicomputer. The drive did not take much longer than 150 seconds.
150 precious seconds, they both thought. Still they knew that this loss would be
regained.
Of course it was possible for Rhodan to send an alarm from any locality. The all-
purpose device on their wrists could do that. However, calling a specific alert
phase was not sufficient for the present catastrophe. There were several thousand
possibilities programmed in the positronicomputer, already present for
emergencies, by which means all special reactions could be simultaneously
determined and communicated.
Rhodan had barely opened the last gate-the computer was immediately activated
for reception of orders by his mere appearance.
"Reggie! Box 3! Let's have it!"
A drawer filled to the brim with perforated cards slid out of a wall cabinet. Rhodan
grabbed a bundle of cards out of his friend's hand and threw it in the three-meter-
long input slot. Bell handed him other packets, which disappeared unsorted into the
first phase of the selector. Rhodan pressed 9 buttons consecutively, the
combinations of which he knew by heart since his Arkonide hypnotic schooling.
"Now take three deep breaths and exhale slowly!" That hardly took more than 15
seconds. As they finished, the first evaluation was finished and Rhodan was
holding a card in his hand.
"This is it! Alert reactions for the entire New Power area, taking into account the
absence of all purely individual robots combined with danger from within."
The card had long since disappeared into another section of the computer. The
hyper-dimensional apparatus sprang into action at hundreds of spots. Each basic
reaction triggered off new ones. With lightning speed the positronic impulses
registered the entire assignment and subsequently automatically undertook the
complex and manifold task of dispatching orders.
Rhodan and Bell could only stand by and again take three deep breaths.
The dispensation of orders also covered the civilian sector. Higher civil servants
received their notification of action instructions directly over home and office
viewcom connections. General directions were issued over national radio, the
normal programs being automatically interrupted.
As the positronicomputer prepared for the first repetition, Rhodan added a personal
message that was broadcast over a network of loudspeakers, primarily outdoors.
This reached everyone in the territory of the New Power. including the enemy.
but that could not be avoided at the moment.
With admirable brevity Perry explained the state of emergency and concluded by
announcing that further special instructions would follow secretly.
They left the computer.
As they stepped out into the street the first troop trucks assigned to guarding the
most essential technical installation of the nation were rolling up. Soldiers jumped
off and took up positions around the block. Rhodan winked at them optimistically
