5/ RACE AGAINST DOOM

At the time of Pucky’s crash-landing on Vagabond, Dr. Innogow announced himself to Perry Rhodan. Although he did not have his data files with him it was clearly evident by his manner and expression that he had something of importance to relate to the Chief of the Solar Empire. It seemed hard for him to find a way to begin.

"Sir…" He drew a deep breath. "Sir, I’m sure you still remember that little piece of fluorescent material that Walter Grimpel brought back from Vagabond. At the time you’ll recall that we were unable to analyse it…"

"But now you’ve analysed it, Innogow?" Suddenly gripped by a new excitement, Rhodan had straightened up and was now looking tensely at the scientist.

The other shook his head lightly, apparently dejected. "It would be too much to say for it… I mean, analysed isn’t quite the word. However I’ve run across something that’s very puzzling. Those waveforms and oscillograph charts kept bothering me but no matter how I tried to figure them out I was still getting nowhere."

"Day before yesterday I was checking back on some things in the Psychological Institute. Among the various activities there, the researchers had been taking some brainwave readings on a few telepathic mutants and fortunately or unfortunately—it still remains to be seen—their telepathic energies were measured and at the same time they recorded the wave patterns for further detailed study. They showed me two unusually good wave-chart recordings. I have to confess that they didn’t mean much to me at the time."

"But tonight, sir, I had a copy of the two wave-charts sent over to me." For a moment the scientist made a weary pause. "Sir, that little piece of material from Vagabond is partly composed of organic energy!"

Rhodan stared at him. "Dr. Innogow—would you kindly repeat that?"

"Gladly, sir. That metallic-blue fluorescent material from Vagabond is partially organic energy. In a concentrated form it is the same kind of energy as is sent out by our telepaths when they are using their paranormal faculties!"

"And you discovered that when you compared the wave-amplitudes of an active telepath with those that McIntosh and Walter Grimpel both picked up during the energy outburst on Vagabond?"

The directness of this question made Dr. Innogow feel uneasy. "Sir, what I’m talking about is mostly hypothesis. I have to get used to the concept of organic energy, myself." He smiled. "Sir, you know every once in a while it’s good for us researchers to strike a snag like this—just to remind us how little we really know. And right now I think I know less about this substance than I did before. It’s a complete mystery. It’s saturated, and at this level of saturation there is a bond between organic and synthetically generated energies. Several times this morning when I thought I had it about analysed I ran across traces of metal. Sir, it’s a metal that we or the Arkonides have never encountered."

"What is your concept of organic energy, Innogow?"

Dr. Innogow looked at Rhodan somewhat helplessly.
