In the meantime, I called you over to take a ride in this projector it's a darb. I'd like to shoot for the Fenachrone system first, but I don't quite dare to." "Don't dare to? You?" scoffed Margaret. "How come?" "Cancel the 'dare' change it to 'prefer not to. Why?
After that we'll head for the green system, and with their own stuff and what we'll give them, they'll be able to give those fiends a hot reception. By the time they finally destroy the Osnomians if they do we'll have the world ready for them." He turned to the Fenachrone. "What is your decision?"
He had added a third screen-generator, so that now, in addition to the four-foot hull of arenak and the repellers, warding off any material projectile, the Skylark was also protected by an outer, an intermediate, and an inner ray-screen; each driven by the super-power of a four-hundred-pound bar and each covering the entire spectrum capable of neutralizing any dangerous frequency known to those master-scientists, the Fenachrone.
After hours and days of work and study in the course of which hundreds of the Fenachrone vessels were destroyed after employing all the resources of his mind, now stored with the knowledge of rays accumulated by hundreds of generations of highly-trained research specialists in rays, he became convinced that it was an inherent impossibility to trace any ether wave with the velocity he desired.
Back out in space, the vessel stationary, Seaton introduced the emperors and commanders-in-chief to each other introductions which were acknowledged almost imperceptibly. He then gave each a headset, and ran the complete record of the Fenachrone brain. "Stop!" shouted Roban, after only a moment. "Would you, the Overlord of Osnome, reveal such secrets as this to the arch-enemies of Osnome?"
A race of beings, who can do such things as that, can do almost anything you have been right, from the start." "Then you can beat those horrible Fenachrone, after all!" cried Dorothy, and threw herself into her husband's arms. "Do you remember, Dick, that I hailed you once as Columbus at San Salvador?" asked Margaret unsteadily from Crane's encircling arm.
Copper happens to be the most efficient of the few metals which can be decomposed at all under ordinary excitation that is, by using an ordinary coil, such as we and the Fenachrone both use. But by using special exciters, sending out all the orders of rays necessary to initiate the disruptive processes, we can use any metal we want to.
May the great First Cause smile upon you until your return. Farewell." The Peace Conference "Here's a chart of the green system, Mart, with all the motions and the rest of the dope that they've been able to get. How'd it be for you to navigate us over to the third planet of the fourteenth sun?" "While you build a Fenachrone super-generator?" "Right, the first time.
You know that I hold the honor of Fenachrone dear, and that all my plans are for the ultimate triumph of our race?" "Yes, and I begin to suspect that those plans have not been made since the warning was received." "My plans have been made for many years; and ever since an immediate Conquest was decided upon I have been assembling and organizing the means to put them into effect.
We have more than ample time to do that which must be done the fifth-order projector shall be completed before the warning torpedo shall have reached the planet of the Fenachrone therefore over-exertion is unwarranted. As for testing, know now that only mechanisms built by bunglers require testing. Properly built machines work properly."
