7/ THE SUPER MIND

Goldstein traced the path of his pseudo-body without effort, yet it was still difficult for him to guide this grotesque, unheard of creation in the desired direction. Of course with each passing hour he had been able to comprehend the atomic structures of uncomplicated objects with an increasing facility but he had to be careful not to attract the slightest suspicion to himself. This marvelous faculty he had discovered in himself while on Eppan had to be built up and developed with careful circumspection. His idea of pretending to be out of his head had worked out splendidly. Nobody paid any attention to him.

Goldstein chuckled triumphantly. While he navigated the monstrous material formation along with his paranormal powers, his eyes observed the desperate spacemen around him. They were close to the breaking point.

Goldstein considered whether or not he should give them a little spectacle. A slight regrouping of molecular structure would be sufficient to make the pilot's seat look like a riding saddle. But maybe he'd save such items for later in his plan to force the men to his will; because it was still too soon for him to return to the Earth. He knew that his new talent was not to be compared to anything else in the Mutant Corps but the Corps as an overall entity still represented a force factor that he couldn't safely handle.

Not yet! As though it were child's play, Goldstein parted the molecules of a light metal wall apart and drove the pseudo-body through the opening thus created.

He was a brand-new link in the mutant chain—a psychokinetic who was capable of molecular rearrangement. This was more than mere telekinesis which had only permitted him to move matter. He could alter matter! With the power of his mind he was able to make it take on a desired form and then keep it under his control. He was still not practiced enough to handle more complicated material forms. It had to suffice with the men to shut off certain nerve channels in order to paralyze their bodies. Since he would need them all later for putting the guppy to his own uses, his method of dominating them was immaterial at the moment.

With such a mighty mental weapon as this he would never again subordinate himself to any man. Rhodan and his mutants had no right to tell him what to do. If he gave his new faculty time to develop completely there would be nothing that could threaten him. This little spaceship was a wonderful testing ground for his experiment.

He looked on apathetically while Weiss placed Sternal's body near him on the deck. The colonel shoved his paralyzer weapon back into his uniform pocket. Goldstein might have easily taken them all by surprise but he had to condition them for it systematically—specially Everson. He had to demonstrate his powers to them, had to prove that any resistance was useless. If he should suddenly try to bring them under his will all at once they would remain rebellious and always ready to cause him trouble.
