the GCC building.
"Follow the emperor!" one of the robots ordered. Adams obeyed. He was pale, his
hands trembling. Kakuta hoped that it was anger and not fear.
A moment later the teleporter had to take care of himself. The last robot turned
back and raised his lower left weapon arm with the impulse raygun. Kakuta
teleported into the adjoining room and heard the unmistakable sounds of
destruction. Adams' office must already look like a battlefield.
Now the cat had been let out of the bag.
Switch on telecom!
"Hello, Mr. Rhodan! I'll leave my transmitter on. You keep watching. Out! I have
to jump again."
Kakuta jumped into the second anteroom, through which the emperor still had to
pass. "Halt! Not one more step!"
He had his raygun pointed, aiming directly at Adams.
The emperor was startled. "Out of the way unless you wish to be destroyed!"
"One second, Emperor! You need our most vital man. A contract is required by
humans. Your robots have already shot at me. I demand guarantees to eliminate
underhandedness."
"The emperor commands, the others obey!"
"Count me out! If you can't understand reason, I shall kill Mr. Adams. It's your
choice."
Kakuta opted for security. He shot the first combat robot, who had just entered the
room. Then he ran on to destroy the second as well, who had just completed his
senseless work of destruction in the boss's office. Neither machine was adjusted
for acute danger and therefore had not switched on their protective screens.
Kakuta returned to the second anteroom. He seemed to be feeling better now.
"And now for our contract, Emperor! A contract including guarantees for the entire
GCC office. Otherwise you will never leave this building. Your robot dynasty
doesn't interest me in the least. My sole concern is the firm." No stirring of
emotion could be detected in the machine. How could there be? Which put the
human all the more on guard.
"I am the emperor and I command. The others obey."
The arrogance of the machine increased Kakuta's irritation. Just don't lose your
nerves now! If this creature was the 'emperor', why not just take him prisoner?
Why not just destroy him?
The teleporter placed his finger on the firing pin but he was not convinced that a
shot from his weapon could save New York. It was impossible that the entire army
of rebelling machines was adjusted to this one single positronicon. The emperor
business had to be a bluff. What was he to do?
"I will kill you, Emperor, if you don't grant us fair negotiations."
"If you kill me, connection to the residence would be interrupted. That triggers off
an alarm. In no time your building would be a pile of rubble."
"No violence, Kakuta," Adams interjected. "The emperor will have taken adequate
precautions. I have a better deal to suggest."
"Speak up," said the emperor.
"You assign us 20 police robots in passive condition. We could then protect this
building."
The voice of the emperor sounded like snoring. Perhaps it was meant to sounded
like ironic laughter.
"In the new empire there is only one police force. Your suggestion is unacceptable.
