As he spoke he held up his third finger, upon which gleamed the royal jewel of Osnome in its splendid Belcher mounting of arenak as transparent as the jewel itself and having the same intense blue color. "I know the name, 'faidon, but that's all I seem to know." "That's about all that anybody knows about them.
The noise was more than deafening, it was one continuous, shattering explosion, and the Earth-men were surrounded by such a blaze of fire from the exploding shells that they could not see the enemy vessels. Seaton sought to dodge the shells by a long dive toward one side, only to find that dozens of new opponents had been launched against them the deadly airplane-torpedoes of Osnome.
We must plate an area of copper of some ten thousand square miles in fact, the very life of our entire race depends upon it." "It's this way," he continued, as the four earth-beings stared at him in wonder. "Shortly after you left Osnome we were invaded by the inhabitants of the third planet of our fourteenth sun.
You will also instruct the Osnomian commander in the manufacture of that metal, which is so much more resistant than their arenak." "But, Overlord, we have...." "I have just brought immense stores of the precious chemical and of the metal of power to Osnome. They will share it with you.
Our regular Kondalian weapons were useless. We shot explosive copper charges against them of such size as to cause earthquakes all over Osnome, without seriously crippling their defenses.
"Building the vessel would be easy enough, but X is as yet unknown upon Osnome." "We've got a lot of it...." "I could not accept it. The salt was different, since you have plenty. X, however, is as scarce upon Earth as salt is upon Osnome." "Sure you can accept it.

I had it, among other things, in my pocket when I landed.
Ergo, he is too far away to reach and with his weight, I could find him anywhere up to about one and a half light-years. If he wants to go that far away from home, where is his logical destination? It can't be anywhere but Osnome, since that is the only place we stopped at for any length of time the only place where he could have learned anything.
What looks like a kind of sloppy greenish black to us may in fact, does look a pale pink to them." "Are Kondal and Mardonale the only two nations upon Osnome?" asked Crane. "The only civilized nations, yes. Osnome is divided into two great and almost equal continents, separated by a wide ocean which encircles the globe. One is Kondal, the other Mardonale.
"I see where you're right in wanting to get something, since we have only ordinary weapons and they have all that stuff. This trip is to get a little something for ourselves, I take it?" "Exactly, and you know enough now to understand what we are out here to get for ourselves. You have guessed that we are headed for Osnome?" "I suspected it.
