"I shall destroy one of the vessels surrounding me, and shall continue to destroy them, one every ten seconds, until you agree to come. If you still do not agree. I shall destroy all the armed forces upon this planet, then destroy all your people who are at present upon Osnome. I wish to avoid bloodshed and destruction, but I can and I will do as I have said." "I will come."
"You see, a man of my size weighs only eighty-six pounds here, on a spring balance, so he would need only the muscular development of a boy of twelve or so. In a contest of strength, either of you girls could easily handle two of the strongest men upon Osnome. In fact, the average Osnomian could stand up on our Earth only with the greatest difficulty.
They overtook the wreckage, true to schedule, as they were approaching the green system, and attached it to the mass of metal behind them by means of attractors. "Where'll we land this junk, Dunark?" asked Seaton, as Osnome grew large beneath them. "We'll hold this lump of metal and the fragment of the ship carrying the salt; and we'll be able to hold some of the most important of the other stuff.
Smith solved the problem of three or more bodies? Osnome is a planet of a sun in a group of seventeen suns, is it not?
While considerably less than the acceleration of gravitation at the surface of the Earth, the Terrestrials could readily accustom themselves to it; and it was not enough greater than that of Osnome to hamper seriously the activities of the green people.
The conference ended, the four nobles were quickly landed upon Osnome and once more the Skylark traveled out into her element, the total vacuum and absolute zero of the outer void, with Crane at the controls. "You certainly sounded savage, Dick. I almost thought you really meant it!" Dorothy chuckled. "I did mean it, Dot. Those fellows are mighty keen on detecting bluffs.
Do you mind if I ask a few foolish questions, to get things straightened out in my mind?" "Go ahead ask as many as you want to. It is hard to understand a lot of that Osnomian stuff a man can't get it all at once." "Osnome is so far away how are you going to find it?" "With one of the object-compasses I mentioned.
Immediately after your coming I gave your knowledge of astronomy to a group of our foremost physicists and mathematicians, and they have been working ceaselessly from space-ships close enough so that observations could be recalculated to Osnome, and yet far enough away to afford perfect 'seeing, as you call it."
"Also, he or any other Osnomian scientist would go to any lengths whatever would challenge the great First Cause itself to secure even one of those little bottles of the chemical you call 'salt. It is far and away the scarcest and most precious substance in the world. It is so rare that those bottles you produced at the table held more than the total amount previously known to exist upon Osnome.
I read them in that lieutenant's brain in fact, I looked for them. You also know that every folk-legend has some basis, however tenuous, in fact. Now, Dottie, tell about the battle of the gods, when Osnome was a pup." "The gods came down from the sky," Dorothy recited. "They were green, as were men. They wore invisible armor of polished metal, which appeared and disappeared.
