kilometres away. There around 300 engineers had installed test stands and were
already working intensely as Rhodan entered with a staff that included several
mutants.
In nonstop succession the trucks rolled up, their cranes carefully unloading
deactivated robots onto the ground.
Rhodan and Bell entered the hall and visited a few of the test stands. The Chief of
the New Power spoke with the head engineers and technicians. They just
exchanged a few polite words, since the work sequence was clear. The 'patients'
were sorted according to special classes and then conveyed for cancellation of their
old programming. Very few of them were given a new program immediately, the
ones that were needed for some duty that night. Most of them had to wait for new
assignments.
They left the hall after convincing themselves that the work on the robots was
going smoothly. Before entering his car, Rhodan turned to Tako Kakuta, the little
Japanese teleporter, who by virtue of his mutated sensory powers was capable of
transporting himself to any other location in the shortest time. Within the
geography of Earth, distance made no difference.
"Hey, Tako! You make a jump to Capt. Klein who is heading the action against the
combat robots. Get a brief report and then come directly to Col. Freyt's office. We
will be there in five minutes at the latest."
"OK, sir!" the teleporter nodded. For one moment he concentrated on his jump
destination, then dissolved into seeming nothingness. For the men of the New
Power the momentary disappearance of a teleporter was an everyday occurrence.
"The rest of you please come with me," said Rhodan. He had already decided on a
specific plan for that night but intelligent planning included preparedness for the
unexpected. For that reason he could not dispense with the mutants under any
circumstances. They always had to be on hand for special cases.
Rhodan went down the row. Many of his best mutants had remained behind with
the powerful telepath John Marshall on the two heavy cruisers in the Beta Albireo
System. However, Rhodan could depend on the men and women who had returned
to Earth with him.
In addition to Tako Kakuta there was Anne Sloane, the blond, delicate American
with the powers of psychokinetics. She had improved greatly in the past years
through constant training. There was Ishy Matsu from Japan, a good telepath.
There was Wuriu Sengu, the broad-shouldered wrestler type. His mental powers
allowed him to see through solid material. The tracker, Tanaka Seiko, possessed
natural brain receptivity for radio waves. He did not need a radio to tune into all
possible frequencies. And finally Kitai Ishibashi was available that night, a so-
called 'suggestor" who had command over strong hypnotic powers. Under his
influence anyone would do what Ishibashi wanted, while believing that he was
acting of his own volition.
They reached Freyt's office.
"If everything goes as you expect," stated Dr. Manoli, an old and close friend from
Rhodan's moonflight crew, "we will be able to spend the night here comfortably."
Shortly thereafter Tako Kakuta arrived. He did not enter through the doorway or
any other opening in the wall but came in the uncompromising manner of a
teleporter. Directly in the middle of the room he materialized, back from his short
jump. "Everything OK, sir!" he reported. "Captain Klein had his hands full and
said I was only disturbing his work but at least he said that you need not be
concerned."
