sky, firing impulse rays. The streets were no longer empty. Two, three robots appeared, stalking about. Then there were more. Ivan poked his head out the gate, then pulled it back under cover. There were about 30 combat robots marching across the street. It looked like a retreat. Did this mean that Perry Rhodan had already been victorious? Goratschin's naivetВ was somewhat too extreme. He immediately became careless. If Rhodan was winning, he, his most uncanny mutant, wanted to have participated. Without any further hesitation he stood up. Fully erect, he was twice as high as the wall. His head and upper body were exposed and the robots were at most 20 meters away. Perceiving and reacting were one and the same in Ivan. His only advantage lay in surprise and he knew that. Before getting up be had prepared his thought concentration. In that process the two brains complemented each other like relays, which was the reason for the partial success of his attack. More than 10 of the machine warriors gave up their 'lives' before they realized the danger. Those in the second and third echelons meanwhile had time to react. They saw the two-headed mutant and did not stop to wonder about his inhuman figure. Ivan's attack was a clear indication of the menace be posed and that was the sole gauge of the robots. They took aim with their stereoscopic eyes, which were also sighting mechanisms The release of impulse rays worked automatically. At that moment something swept Ivan Goratschin off his feet. He toppled over, landing in the grass behind the wall. His two pairs of eyes stared in amazement at "Come on! Follow me, you nitwit! But stay on the ground, just creeping on your knees and elbows." It was an unusual way for a teleporter to remove himself from a danger zone but in this situation he could not simply wish himself away with the awkward Goratschin in tow. He could not grab him and take him along on a jump. They had both long since realized how imperative Kakuta's intervention was. Even before the twin-head fell to the ground the first impulse vibrations whistled over his head, demolishing the front of the house. Then the robots lowered their fire, aiming at the wall. Fragments of the wall were whirling around Tako and Ivan's heads. Beside them it began to feel increasingly hot. When they had progressed about 10 meters the wall gave way. The energy ray had separated the silicon from its compound and, at almost 2000° C., had caused it to melt. The wall flowed like glowing red lava. It had a hole. Did the robots think they had eliminated their opponents? Weren't they intelligent enough to know that a man can crawl? They were, but they were also oriented towards human reactions. When a human flees, he moves to the right. The robots thus took aim at the wall again. But Tako had done the exact opposite. He had crawled into the corner of the garden nearest to the robots and Ivan had trustingly followed him. "They are still 10 meters away," the teleporter whispered. "The next attack must be perfectly prepared. You think of their destruction in time, Ivan. I will teleport to the house across the street and shoot the pulse-ray through out of the window. But don't ignite longer than three seconds. Then throw yourself to the ground and |
