Alcantro and Fedanzo, the Martian scientists, were listening intently, as were the two Venerians Dol Kenor and Pyraz Amonar. The eyes of the three newcomers, however, did not linger upon the group at the table, but were irresistibly drawn to one corner of the room, where six creatures lay in the heaviest manacles afforded by the stores of the Interplanetary Police.
Thence to Venus, where Dol Kenor, the electrical wizard, and Pyraz Amonar, the master of mechanism, also readily agreed to accompany the expedition. He then called the General-in-Chief of the Interplanetary Police, requesting a detail of two hundred picked men for the hazardous venture.
He came in grinning from ear to ear, accompanied by the two Martians, and seated himself at his complex power panel. "Now watch the professor closely, gentlemen," he invited. "He is going to cut that beam." "But you can't," protested Pyraz Amonar. "I know you can't, ordinarily, when a beam is tight and solid. But that beam's as loose as ashes right now.
We'll pick up Dol Kenor and Pyraz Amonar on the way no, get them to Tellus, too. Then we'll get action quicker. Those four are all I want get anybody else you want to come along." His hands playing over the keys of an enormous calculating machine, Brandon was instantly immersed in a profound mathematico-physical problem; deaf and blind to everything about him.
Pyraz Amonar, who can devise and build a machine to perform any conceivable mechanical task, will help us all in the many mechanical difficulties we shall certainly encounter. Discussion of any point is now in order." Step by step and equation after equation the calculations and plans were gone over, until every detail was clear in each mind.
