Kondal would go the same way. Don't kid yourself, Dimples don't be a child. War up there is no species of pink tea, believe me half of my brain has been through thirty years of Osnomian warfare, and I know precisely what I'm talking about. Let's take a vote. Personally, I'm in favor of Osnome. Mart?" "Osnome." "Dottie? Peggy?" Both remained silent for some time, then Dorothy turned to Margaret.
Seaton smiled as he saw the legal form engraved below their signatures, and read aloud: "I, the Head of the Church and the Commander-in-Chief of the armed forces of Kondal, upon the planet Osnome, certify that I have this day, in the city of Kondalek, of said nation and planet, joined in indissoluble bonds of matrimony, Richard Ballinger Seaton, Doctor of Philosophy, and Dorothy Lee Vaneman; Doctor of Music; both of the city of Washington, District of Columbia, United States of America, upon the planet Earth, in strict compliance with the marriage laws, both of Kondal and of the United States of America.
The navies hunted down and killed what was supposed to be the last one upon Osnome more than a karkam ago, and none have been seen since, until we were attacked...." The gong over the door sounded and the Kondalians leaped to their positions back of the Earthly visitors. The Kofedix went to the door. Nalboon brushed him aside and entered, escorted by a full company of heavily-armed soldiery.
"Now what to do?" "How can we get this salt to Osnome?" asked Dunark whose thoughts were never far from that store of the precious chemical. "You are already crowded, and Sitar and I will crowd you still more. You have no room for additional cargo, and yet much valuable time would be lost in going to Osnome for another vessel." "Yes, and we've got to get a lot of 'X', too.
That's the way your brain works behind my pan, too. I could figure anything out all right after it happened, but hardly ever beforehand so I guess I can't blame you much, at that. But what I want to know is, how'd you get here? It would take more than my brains you can't see our sun from anywhere near Osnome, even if you knew exactly where to look for it." "Easy.
Almost immediately he released the zone, pointed the bar parallel to the compass bearing upon Osnome, and slowly applied the power. "How much did you take, anyway?" asked Dunark in amazement. "It looks bigger than the Skylark!" "It is; considerably bigger. Thought we might as well take enough while we're here, so I set the zone for a seventy-five-foot radius.
"I request immediate withdrawal of all your armed forces now upon Osnome and full co-operation with me in this coming war against the invaders. In return, I will give you the secrets I have just given the Osnomians the power and the offensive and defensive weapons of this vessel." "The Osnomians are now building vessels such as this one?" asked the general.
"Will you please loan me your sending instrument, sir?" Seaton asked. "From this point on I can carry on negotiations better direct than through you." The lieutenant found his voice as he surrendered the instrument. "Sir, are you the Overlord of Osnome, of whom we have heard?
We had supposed that one was a mythical character, but you must be he no one else would spare lives that he could take, and the Overlord is the only being reputed to have a skin the color of yours." "Yes, lieutenant, I am the Overlord and I have decided to become the Overlord of the entire green system, as well as of Osnome."
Please remember, and believe that this is no idle word if we can assist you in any way in this conflict which is to come, the resources of this planet are at your disposal. We join Osnome and the other planets of this system in declaring you, Doctor Seaton, our Overlord." The Welcome to Norlamin
