7/ RHODAN SURFACING

John Marshall, one of the first mutants to enter into Perry Rhodan's service, sat alone in Ook-Taan with an untouched glass of Rhegis. This was in the small town of Gelgen, some 27 miles distant from the Terra garrison. From outward appearances Ook-Taan could be considered an almost exclusive rendezvous for Springers. It did not seem to be frequented by any of the Arkon colonists because Marshall had not seen any Arkonides when he first entered and he was still waiting to observe the first customer belonging to that race.

Marshall was recognizable as a Terranian without any question but he was not concerned with acting inconspicuously at present. The advent of Perry Rhodan's super battleship Drusus followed only a few hours later by the arrival of eight heavy cruisers had already stirred up enough excitement on Rusuf. Not only had the government made pointed inquiries in protest against this demonstration of power and sent in a complaint regarding the situation to the robot Regent of Arkon but also the Galactic Traders had seen a threat to their interests in this assemblage of fighter spacecraft and they had threatened the Rusuf government at the same time that they would suspend all trade relations with the planet Rusuf.

They did not have to stretch the facts very much to point out that they had already suffered enough damage at the hands of Perry Rhodan and his ships. Along with their protests they were not averse to bringing the Galactic Medical Masters, the Aras, into play, by hinting that a sudden embargo of medical supplies could have serious consequences.

John Marshall, an excellent telepath with a very shrewd mind, was the only person present who acted as though none of this concerned him.

He was not here in the Ook-Taan tavern merely to sit and watch his drink get stale. Rhegis was one of the strongest beverages that Rusuf had to offer. He was actually waiting for his colleague, the hypnotic suggestor Kitai Ishibashi, whom he had just sent off on a gossamer thin thought-trail. It was only a single thought impulse he had picked up out on the street. It happened when three Springers had passed them on the other side of the avenue going in an opposite direction. The strangers had challenged them with a probing surveillance.

One of them had been thinking of Thora and was wondering whether or not she had arrived all right. It was not much to go on but Marshall had immediately told Ishibashi to trail them while pointing to the boisterous fellow in the middle of the trio.

"Take that one under your wing, Kitai, and turn him into a zombie for me."

With these words they had parted. Marshall had gone into the Ook-Taan and the Japanese had turned about in order to follow the Galactic Traders.

Marshall's order that one of the men should be turned into a zombie was not as bloodthirsty as it sounded. Ishibashi possessed the power to telepath suggestions which could bend a person
