in full swing. We are not encountering much resistance. All of the larger robot
units have been wiped out. Now they are only attacking in threes or fours. Our
energy screen can take that."
Here and there solitary combat machines were still exploding. Wuriu Sengu
confirmed the detail observations.
Col. Freyt ordered troop units newly prepared to counterattack. It was shortly past
one o'clock when the mopping up operation began. Rhodan announced his return
to headquarters.
"Yes, please, sir. Come immediately," Freyt replied. "I have an important report to
make."
"I'll be there in three minutes."
The people in the Ministry of Security's office looked worried. That was
understandable. The population of Terrania had suffered heavy losses.
"What's up, Colonel?" Rhodan asked.
"A report from Mr. Adams. The situation is the same in New York!"
Rhodan was silent for the moment he required to draw a deep breath.
"More precisely, please! The GCC is located in the midst of a metropolis!"
Freyt turned on the tape recorder.
"Sender: General Cosmic Company, Business Manager, Homer G. Adams.
Address: Mr. Perry Rhodan, Terrania, New Power, Gobi. Date: August 3d. Time:
23:45 hours-East American.
600 robot policemen of the GCC out of control since 23:30 hours. Incident without
explanation. Three men killed trying to approach the robots to turn them off. State
of total confusion in GCC Centre. Several floors of main administration building
seem to be occupied by the rebelling machines. Requesting advice and support."
"That is all, sir."
"It's enough, Colonel. I fear we will have to disseminate our forces even more.
Isn't Bell back yet?"
"No sir."
Bell was called and informed of the new developments. He reacted with a bit of
coarse language, stopping abruptly when his gaze fell on Thora.
"And this is what is called rush transition, to Wanderer. I'd like to know what is
supposed to become of our fleet in the Albireo System if we are constantly
detained here right in front of our house door."
"It is the same enemy. The actors are just wearing a different mask. Still we have
to take care of them. We cannot leave Earth in this condition."
"Then I suggest a blitz. This morning we developed a few good tactics for dealing
with robot deserters. There are still a few running around loose but Freyt can easily
take care of them. The dead and wounded will be the main job. The work robots
will be able to help with the clearing-up task. They have all been checked and can
be reactivated on short notice."
Rhodan nodded. He sent a brief express telecom message to Adams informing him
that within minutes his request for help would be considered. "Undertake nothing
until then, Adams! We will contact you again shortly."
When Bell had spoken about a blitz no one present had taken him for a dreamer.
But before the brief consultation was concluded, a report from the news centre
arrived that dropped the optimism down another peg.
"Special bulletin from Berlin. The GCC administration office in Central Europe is
in the hands of rebelling combat and police robots. The mayor of Berlin has
declared a state of emergency."
