Out across the seabottom, in the office that had been Fallon’s in the Company Administration pylon, Jaffa Storm was busy—busier than Rick dreamed. He was not doing anything physically. He was sitting perfectly still, elbows on knees, his eyes closed, and his knuckles pressed in a certain curious way against his temples. He had been in contact with Rick’s mind before. Now that he had the wave-length, so to speak, it was much easier to tune in. He laughed softly when Rick made his statement about Storm’s mental powers and the danger of telling the battle plan.

Storm did not move until Rick was through speaking— until he had examined the unspoken things inside the Earthman’s head. Then he rose, stretching, and nodded.

“A good plan,” he said. “Very shrewd. It has even a fair chance of succeeding. Opposing brute force against brute force is always a gamble… Let’s see.”

He flicked on a light under a sort of table of thick frosted glass, and spun a selector dial. Presently a three-dimensional full-color miniature of the Polar area—a glorified relief map—took shape on the screen.

Jaffa Storm sat down again, taking the same position. He stared at the screen, but his eyes were looking into some other place, much farther away.
