With a muffled gasp, Balan suddenly fell to his knees. ‘I am... I am sorry,’ he panted pitifully.

Their Quark sentry tramped over to examine the fallen Dulcian. ‘Is this specimen broken?’ it bleated harshly.

‘Move it aside and resume working.’

Zoe winked significantly at Kully and Teel, then she and Kando helped Balan over to the shadowed area by the remains of the museum entrance and propped him up against the wall.

Meanwhile the Quark transmitted a terse report to its masters. ‘Initial assessment: o specimen broken. Three others showing signs of unserviceabilitv. Only one still performing at high efficiency.’ it screeched.

‘That will be one of the males,’ Rago’s voice observed through the Quark’s audio circuit.

‘Correction. A female,’ retorted the robot.

‘The name’s Zoe...’ Zoe muttered to herself as she knelt beside Balan, keeping her eyes glued on the chattering Quark.

‘Work the specimens to exhaustion,’ Rago ordered brutally. ‘Record the times of collapse.’

Kully had been watching Zoe’s movements like a hawk.

Now he positioned himself so that he blocked the Quark’s view of the museum entrance. Nearby, Teel redoubled his efforts dislodging the steel rods to distract the machine’s attention.

Very slowly Zoe stood up and started to back into the gaping doorway. The Quark was still preoccupied observing Teel’s valiant struggles... a few more backward steps and she would be within reach of the laser gun.

Suddenly Kully realised that he could only see one Quark, the one he was blocking. He glanced fearfully round, the Quark by the target had disappeared. He tried to call out a warning to Zoe, but his throat felt like sandpaper and no sound came.

Zoe took three more paces and then her heart froze as she heard an unearthly giggling and sparking behind her.
