Ras Tschubai rematerialised in the Control Central of the zep-shaped Soltenite ship, which couldn’t have measured quite 80 meters in length. When he became visible he was holding an impulse beamer in one hand and a hypno-gun in the other but he didn’t need either of the hand weapons.

Four paralysed Soltenites were there, two in the flight seats and two on the deck, but they were not in a condition to take notice of his presence. Tschubai quickly inspected these strange-looking men, noting that their eyes were almost hidden under the unusual bulge of their foreheads. They wore their black hair in a fringed style but when Ras looked at their beards a slight smile touched his tense face. They were neatly braided into pigtails and stiffened with a fixative so that they stood out like so many porcupine quills.

Ras did not spend much time in the primitive-looking control room. He searched through one cabin after the other. After locating 15 crewmen he still had not encountered a female Soltenite. He found no one in the 4 cargo holds which were stacked to the ceiling with smelly hides, and the odour emanating from them was almost anaesthetizing. But in the engine and power rooms he found the 16th and 17th aliens, both of who had also been paralysed into unconsciousness by the pulsator shot from theDrusus .

While in a narrow passageway of the ship the teleporter turned on the telecom of his special suit. "To the Drusus : the crew here consists of 17 men; no women among them. Effect of pulsator beam is 100%. Will now attempt to shut down the propulsion. Over and out!"

Then he went back into the control room and removed one of the Soltenites from a flight seat. After placing the alien on the deck he turned to the console to familiarize himself with the controls. Meanwhile theDrusus was approaching the small freighter at greatly diminished speed. Suddenly in the superbattleship’s giant power section the typical high whine of the tractor-beam generators was heard. Before Ras Tschubai had a chance to deactivate the smaller ship’s synchro-system the Soltenite vessel was slowed in its course as though grasped by an invisible giant hand.

A half-hour later the small alien ship lay in one of theDrusus ’ main hangar bays. Two members of the medico team removed all of the paralysed ‘bumpheads’ to the ship’s hospital. By comparison with the greater ship the cabins of theLorch-Arto now seemed to be oppressively small and narrow.

With an increasing velocity theDrusus left the Forit System under full coverage of its anti-screens and withdrew to a seldom-travelled area of space in one of the stellar arms of the cluster. Meanwhile Rhodan’s specialists were going over the specifications and construction of the captured ship and other experts were delving into the pertinent language and ethnological data. At the moment the main positronicon was exclusively restricted to the use of these specialists. The super computer made a quick analysis of the Soltenites’ planetary language. Within an hour it had organized the grammar, vocabulary and syntax.
