Silent and invisible, Rhodan approached the foe. The solitary guard inspired him to
something special: first he shot at the most dangerous arm, the weapon bearer, then
his legs and finally the upper arms.
The robot sank to the floor, a mere torso, but in its head all sorts of reactions
immediately developed. The loudspeaker facility was buzzing at regular intervals,
as if it were part of a warning system. The robot was calling for help.
Rhodan jumped in front of it and switched the main lever in the creature's back,
completely setting him out of commission.
"Lift him, Anne! Come on, make it snappy! Get him up to the central office. At
any moment."
It was already happening!
Three combat robots appeared at the opposite door. They froze for a moment. A
human would have probably reacted emotionally and shot anyway, although seeing
nothing. The robots hesitated because they could see nothing. But they did activate
their matter tracker, against which invisibility was not of much use.
"Careful, Anne!" Rhodan whispered. "Lift the robot! I must have it in this
condition. And you go with it. I'll cover you."
The radar tracking of the robots required about 15 seconds. That sufficed for the
telekin to escape with her victim. Rhodan floated downward as the passage to the
9th storey was less intensely observed by the robots. From there he began to fire
before the three giants got around to that themselves.
He knocked off two of them at once. The third had sufficient time to trace
Rhodan's position and shot back.
The protective screen of the combat suit buckled under the pressure of the enemy's
impulse rays. The fluorescent glow of the friction point between the two energies
clearly revealed Rhodan's location to the robot. It increased the firing power of its
weapon arm; the human did the same with his raygun. Due to the changed focus
adjustment, the rays were compacted so tightly that it was as piercing as a sharp
needle.
Such facility with this particular weapon required tremendous practice and
accuracy of aim. When fighting robots, it was furthermore necessary to have exact
knowledge of their anatomy.
Rhodan had exact knowledge.
He hit the individual reactor and thus was victor in that duel, which had almost
ended differently.
The robot was deactivated; still Rhodan waited a moment, checking out the two
floors between which he had stationed himself. There was some action below him
but in the 10th storey nothing was stirring.
He floated upward again.
Anne Sloane had already brought the torso to Mr. Adams' floor and deposited it in
a washroom.
"Aren't you overdoing your humane treatment a bit?" Adams asked, shaking his
head. "Since when do we take robots prisoner?"
"That machine is very valuable to me. We'll take it to Terrania and have it
examined. Perhaps it will even reveal how the conspiracy came about."
Kakuta and Seiko reported in a little while later.
"The roof has been fought free, sir. Five robots had been posted there."
Adams immediately understood what was meant and he voiced his qualms. "You
think we should all get out of here, sir?"
"I thought that was your burning desire the past hour."
