So far he had located 8 mousebeaver colonies which were widely separated over the planet and hidden in the deepest possible caverns. He had taken care of the most important groups. In this process he soon determined that even his supplies of food and water were not inexhaustible. He was completely out of carrots by now and since yesterday the condensed milk had also been used up. He still had 1120 litres of water left in the ship’s tank.

Pucky had just finished taking his inventory and was about to go back to the control room when he detected a strong telepathic impulse.

At last—an adult mousebeaver!

I’m coming!

he called back mentally.I’m bringing food and water. What is your name? My name is Pucky… … ah, Plofre fre dag ga … …!

The latter phrase was untranslatable but all the more understandable to the other mousebeaver. Pucky was amazed to receive the impression that he was not to bring either water or food.

Why put off death only another few days when the black wall can come upon us at any minute?

In spite of his astonishment over this cryptic statement he did not ask questions in return.Wait for me—I’m coming at once! he telepathed. He hurried back to the cold storage locker which no longer deserved its name. He filled a canister with water and obtained a large package of energy concentrates. Then he went to the supply locker and took one of the spacesuits with him.

After that, he made his jump.

1,700 km north of the equator on this 4th day following his crash-landing on Vagabond, he encountered his first adult mousebeaver. His outside thermometer indicated the murderous temperature of 142°.

At first there was no sign of him but after sending out repeated search calls he finally received a weak answering cry:here! It was so attenuated that he could not determine its source.

Think harder so that I can find you!Pucky sent back urgently.

It was impossible to see more than 3 steps in any direction. A single, unceasing sandstorm enveloped the whole world of Vagabond, whipping the air masses to ever higher temperatures.

Then came the call—from below. Its sender was in one of the earlier inhabited burrows which seldom went deeper than 50 meters.

Pucky teleported. His spotlight came on. He kneeled down beside a full-grown mousebeaver who seemed to be close to asphyxiation. By this time Pucky had regained the cool collectedness which was typical of all Rhodan’s close companions. He reached for the spare spacesuit and forced his kinsman to get into it, after which he closed his helmet for him. Then he had a chance to check the natural air pressure in the cavern.

The instrument clearly indicated that the planet Vagabond was getting ready to throw off its atmosphere. For Pucky it was proof that the hours of his native world were counted. The gravitational field of the sun was already reaching out its greedy claws for its mantle of air. Or was it?

Pucky thought a moment.

Could it be that Vagabond was revolving so
