excited multitude, making no use of their weapons. Their programming did not provide for that. But the robots, which had remained on board the Gazelle, were provided with another kind of program circuitry.

They reacted immediately!

Suddenly the impulse cannon ceased its 360° sweep and came to a standstill. In its place the turret hatches of the hypno-cannons fell open and the weapons discharged their energies soundlessly.

The hypno-beams struck silently and as though cut off by a mighty blow the cries of rage were stilled in 100s of throats.

It was a ghastly sight but not even that could move the robots behind their hypno-cannons. Their programs gave them the order: "Hypno fire, free range; 0.25 seconds duration; intensity 10, starting from J-20." This was a very mild dosage.

In the street the silence was broken by the rumbling march of many robots, which returned from all directions to the Gazelle with great speed. At the lock there was no haste or pushing. As on a parade grounds, they stamped across the low ramp one after another into the ship.

The ramp retracted. The lock hatch closed. The propulsion system began to howl. During takeoff from the ground the defence fields around the Gazelle became active. Whoever was on the street within range of the screens was thrown to one side.

The robot commander of the Gazelle took no notice of it. His assignment was: after objective accomplished, return to theDrusus by fastest route and land inside the hangar.

When the Gazelle started its short 27-mile return hop, a 2nd Gazelle rose up out of Rangeroo-n Avenue

1.5 miles distant. It had also accomplished its objective, having rescued the mutant Kitai Ishibashi.

22 minutes after John Marshall’s return to theDrusus , the 5th mutant also arrived on board the superbattleship. The robots had literally come for him in the last second. His micro-communicator had continued to broadcast uninterrupted, thus transmitting the Springers’ conversation to theDrusus . Without this guide the mechanical men would not have been able to track him down on such short notice. He had been lying strapped down under the brainlashing apparatus at the very moment that the fiendish device was about to be switched on.

Perry Rhodan had just received the report of the 5th agent’s safe return as he was seated in his cabin with Khrest. Both of them were waiting for news from the capital city of Cill. John Marshall’s callout of the mystery name had been the only clue that had prevented the trail of Thora’s abductors from coming to an end in Gelgen.

It was the only hope.

But even the Arkonide Khrest could not believe that the Galactic Traders were behind Thora’s kidnapping. He expressed this view to Rhodan: "It looks like Arkon’s doing, Rhodan!"

The Administrator of the Solar Empire seemed to shy away from any conclusion in that direction. "Its possible but we also know what the Springers are capable of. At the moment my suspicions have to be aimed at both Arkon and this as-yet-unknown Springer clan. Meanwhile all evidence points to the clear fact that my wife was abducted by the Galactic Traders.
