The meeting with the council was over in forty-five minutes, and Janet actually found herself laughing with the council members as they tried to put her at ease and welcome her to Zintandu.

She was disappointed when she asked about going back to Earth with a science team, and they explained that it would be not be necessary for a team to return to the Earth. The Zintandians technology was so advanced that they had invisible satellites circling and monitoring the Earth, sending back daily information about the people and the technology. The satellites monitored all radio and television broadcasts, and high-powered cameras watched the surface activity. The council told her that, at the present rate of advancement, the Earth would not develop light speed spacecraft for approximately three hundred Earth years, which was very closely related to the time on Zintandu. A year here was only a few days longer than a year on Earth. An hour here was only a few minutes longer than an hour on Earth. However, due to their medical technology, people here lived for an average of 180 years.

She accepted that she would spend the rest of her life on Zintandu. They did explain that she was permitted to travel freely about the planet and also throughout the universe with Tarku, as he conducted his business. She thanked Tipas and the other council members for allowing her to live here and for making her feel so relaxed and welcome.

They left the council chambers and went to another building for the medical exams. A man in white clothing came out to meet them.

“Hello, I am Doctor Varo. You may call me Gaman.”

Tarku reached out his hand first. “Hello, Gaman. I am Tarku and this is Janet Shelby.”

“From the planet Earth, in the Kolozoy system,” Gaman noted.

“Yes!” Janet reached out to touch hands. “I’m pleased to meet you, Gaman.”

“I’ve already seen the tests that Tarku did on his ship. We are going to do identical tests, primarily to verify his results. As you know, the tests are completely painless.”

“Gaman, Janet was not conscious when I did the tests. She has no idea what you’re about to do.”

“Oh! Then I’ll explain as we go along. Janet, would you please lie on the table?”

Janet lay on the table and Gaman pulled the monitor around where she could see. An orange light covered her body, and the thin green light within the orange light began scanning her from head to toe. It was like looking at herself with no skin or muscles. She could see every detail inside her body, and she was completely dressed. Janet was amazed at this technology - the way they can examine the entire body, and organs, with only light scans.

Gaman, like the council members, tried to make her feel at ease, and also welcomed her to Zintandu. The tests were completed in less than thirty minutes.

“Well! That’s it!” Gaman said. “You’re a very healthy woman, Janet.”

“That’s good to know. Gaman, thank you for making me feel so at ease and welcome.
