frustrated hero, Reggie! It's not a question of who shows the most courage today
but who burns his fingers the least.
Close your combat suits. Notify the commander of the guard battalion, Capt. Klein.
We will try to supply replacements as fast as possible."
Klein saluted and left.
Rhodan manipulated his wrist apparatus and called Kakuta. "Hello, Tako! We are
moving to my office. You and Ivan make your way over here, though, in order to
relieve Klein's staff troop. No further orders for the present. Are the two tanks
there yet?"
"No sir!"
"Then wait there. It can't take long."
Capt. Klein returned. "All taken care of, sir."
Rhodan nodded. "Our destination is clear, so let's go! And don't anyone forget to
turn on the light-wave diverter. We must remain invisible."
They started from the roof. Each combat suit was a vehicle in itself. Rhodan
hovered in the air awhile to get the complete picture of the state of things. It did
not look good. More than a third of the territory within the dome was occupied by
the robots.
"Wuriu," Rhodan called over telecom during the flight.
"Sir!"
"I am thinking about the helicopter that was shot down. You stay up here for the
next hour and give me a steady report. We cannot afford to hang around blindly in
our offices."
"Yes sir!"
Telecommunication was not risky. While the robots could intercept certain normal
transmissions, the telecom apparatus operated on a coded impulse basis.
They landed on the roof of the government building. As they switched off their
suits some confusion ensued that soon turned to relief. The government building
was full of people who worked there and had been forced to remain due to the
alert.
"It doesn't look good, Mr. Rhodan, does it?" a young office girl asked.
The Chief of the New Power managed his first smile in hours. "No, Ms. Grohte, it
doesn't look so good. But we are making every effort to improve the situation. You
stay at your post. It will all work out."
They took the elevator to Bell's office. There they met the two Arkonides, Thora
and Khrest, who had no special assignment for this alert but were to remain there
for security reasons.
Thora, the platinum blond woman from the distant planet Arkon, immediately
approached Rhodan. "How do things look, Perry?" Her familiar tone and harsh
look did not quite match.
Rhodan shrugged non-commitally. "The decision will be forthcoming soon,
Thora."
You should put a guppy at our disposal, Perry. Khrest and I have a right to keep
out of this fight."
"There no doubt about that but the plan requires that the dome remain shut. No one
may leave the centre of Terrania.
"I don't agree with."
"Alright! When things get critical we can talk about it. At present the government
quarter is in no danger. We have the front under control."
This the Arkonide had to accept.
