Finally, the ventilation flap made itself known again.

Flap...flap...flap...(Perry? We have good news!)

Rhodan focused to interpret the code.

There are almost seventeen hundred people on board. Two hundred more have been taken aboard another ship.

So, they had lost about a hundred people, probably dead. One hundred out of two thousand. That was a frightening amount, although given what they had all been through in the last few days, it seemed more like a good record. If you only thought in numbers, anyway ,but Rhodan couldn’t do that.

Can you tell me where the survivors are?

We looked and asked around. There are a total of nine larger groups of prisoners housed in nine different hangars. In addition, there are some solitary prisoners in the central sphere, like you.

Who?

Reginald Bull, Lieutenant Henry Broadman, Lieutenant Frederic Beauchamps, Lieutenant Mary Swernfield, Razadimanantsoa...

Who? he asked.

Sloane replied immediately: Razafimanantsoa belonged to the section of spiritual representatives of Earth with whom you wanted to score cultural points with Arkon.

What about the mutants?

They are in the larger groups. it doesn’t seem like anyone has learned about their special abilities yet. We know about Tako, Ras, and John.

Rhodan breathed a sigh of relief. Yes, there may have been deaths, but that should not inhibit his need to allow the survivors to escape. With the help of the two teleporters and the telepath, people could network with each other.

What is the guard situation?

Practically none. The Naats keep them isolated, but they don’t seem to expect any action. There are no automatic firing systems or surveillance cameras.

Yes, that was to be expected. The Naats trusted that they were the strong ones and that the humans knew it. They thought like Naats. That was the starting point he could use!

If all humans struck at the same time, there was an opportunity to be stronger than the Naats through unity and take control of the Keat’ark. All they had to do was advance to the central sphere. If this bold plan succeeded, they would be able to flee and, with a little luck, no longer be apprehended by the Empire. In addition, they would have a full-fledged replacement for the Tosoma. The Keat’ark was on the cutting edge of Arkonide technology.

Don’t rush! warned Sloane. If your plan fails, the Naats will show no mercy.

It depends on the attempt! he objected.

That attempt has already taken place. Reg attempted a breakout from the medical ward, and the Naats killed virtually everyone involved. Reg survived, but that Naat with the birthmark defeated him in the blink of an eye. It’s pure luck that he’s still alive. We don’t know why. These Naats are all cold-blooded murderers, that’s for sure.

A Naat with a birthmark? Could that have been Toreead?

Rhodan didn’t doubt for a second that Toreead was capable of it, and for all his desperate determination, Bull had no chance of holding his own against even a single Naat.

I don’t think that’s right. The Naats aren’t murderers. They just have a particular conception of strength and weakness. That’s why they kill the injured, the weak, the terminally ill.
