It was, and the ship which had been hanging in the atmosphere over New York, where Zezdon Afthen, Fentes and Inthel had come to it in a taxi-ship, signaled for the crowd to clear away above.
"Then you have aged his memory of that event?" asked Wade in surprise. "That is one way of stating it," replied Zezdon Afthen seriously. Wade was silent for a while, absorbing this. But he could not contain his curiosity completely. Well, to hell with it, he decided. Conventional manners and tact don't have much meaning between two different races. "Are you married?" he asked.
"I'm going to hustle some workmen to installing the biggest spare power board I can get into the storerooms of the Ancient Mariner, and pack in a ray-screen. It will be useful. Let's move." "Our ship," said Zezdon Afthen, "will land in three of your hours." The Ortolians were standing on a low, green-clad hill.
One of the leaders was picked up, and trussed quickly in a rope a fellow had carried. "Look out," called Wade from above. Suddenly he was standing beside them, having flown down on the power suit. "Caught your thoughts rather Zezdon Afthen did." He handed Arcot a ray pistol. The rest of the Greeks were near now, crying in amazement, and running more slowly. They didn't seem so anxious to attack.
It'd tear loose even the lighting wires!" gasped Wade in amazement. "But if all the power of the ship was destroyed in this way, how was it that one of their rays was operating as they fell?" asked Zezdon Afthen. "Each ray is a power plant in itself," explained Arcot, "and so it was able to function.
"Now, Arcot, perhaps you will explain to me the secret of this ship," said Zezdon Afthen at last, turning from the great lux pilot's window, to Arcot seated in the pilot's chair. "I know that only the broadest principles will be intelligible to me, for I could not understand that ship we captured, after almost four months of study. Yet it crept through space compared with this ship.
They will certainly warn every other base, and have them install similar protection." "Why didn't you try the magnetic ray on our first attack?" asked Zezdon Afthen. "If it had worked, their sending apparatus would have been destroyed, and no message could have been sent to call their attackers off Fellsheh.
"At any rate, I can only assure you that your world will be given weapons that will permit your people to defend themselves and I will get you to your home within twenty-four hours. Your ship is it in the system?" "It waits on the second satellite of the fourth planet," replied Zezdon Afthen.
"Don't tell them we'll be right out," said Arcot sharply. "All of us." Morey and the others all stared at Arcot in amazement. It was utterly impossible! But Zezdon Afthen did as Arcot had asked. Almost immediately, another Morey stepped out of the airlock wearing what was obviously a pressure suit.
Thoughts beyond our knowledge have, of course, no meaning, even when our mental amplifiers get them, and bring them to us." "The Molecular ray!" gasped Morey in surprise. "They will be an enemy." "You know it! It is familiar to you! You have it? You can fight it?" asked Zezdon Afthen excitedly. "We know it, and can fight it, if that is all they have."
