Koto and LeConte kicked open the laboratory door and shot through. Captain Crane and I jumped after them. Through the Darkness of Orcon Gongs clanged, blue lights flashed on and off with the lurid glare of sulphur pits burning in hell, and screaming, winged Orconites, all mixed up together, pelted toward us as thickly as the snowflakes of a blizzard.
"We needed you, and I, for one, was not going to see your egotistical ideas about an unimportant piece of work your cosmological chemistry jeopardize the safety of the world.

Koto was looking at me wide-eyed, and I saw that his interest was as keen as my own. Even Virginia Crane, scientist though she was not, was interested. We were in no position, however, to sit still and think. The waves astern and the howling wind were subsiding noticeably, but the inhabitants of Orcon all about us were still creating a great hubbub.
Also it was plain that Hargrib, now he had been cornered, would hold nothing back because he believed we would never live long enough to make trouble, regardless of what information we gained. To state the rest of it briefly, we learned that Leider had come to Orcon immediately after his defeat at Calypsus.
