But Arcot, telling them there was something he wished to get, took another dose of Immorpho and stepped out into the steaming rain. A few minutes after ten the next morning Arcot came back, followed by half a dozen Venerians, each carrying a large metal cylinder in a cradle.
"Those fellows would never hold such a Terrestrial crowd back if visitors from another planet landed!" remarked Morey wonderingly. "How do they know we are visitors from another planet?" Arcot objected. "We suddenly appeared out of nowhere they don't even know our direction of approach. We might be some strange race of Venerians as far as they know."
I don't imagine that any of my ideas will prove particularly helpful. You talk and I'll listen. "You can't tell what ideas may be useful chip in any time you feel the urge. Here's the dope, as I see it. They're highly intelligent creatures and are in all probability neither Martians nor Venerians.
Since the return of the Terrestrians to the Solarite, a great crowd of Venerians had gathered around it, awaiting a glimpse of the men, for the news had spread that this ship had come from Earth. Now, the crowd had divided, and a group of men was approaching, clothed in great heavy coats that seemed warm enough to wear in Terrestrial arctic regions!
"Well, you may come in handy, at that," Brandon conceded. "And here's the big boss himself. Hi, Chief!" "Ho, Brandon! Ho, Westfall!" Newton, Chairman of the Board of Directors of the IPC, shook hands with the two scientists. "Your Martians and Venerians are in Lounge Fifteen. I suppose that you have a lot of things to thrash out, so you may as well start now.

The crowd grew rapidly as the Terrestrians watched them people of a new world. "Why," exclaimed Fuller in startled surprise, "they look almost like us!" "Why not?" laughed Arcot.
He was still in the room of the circle of chairs he was still on Venus then with sudden shock, understanding came. He knew the meaning of these visions the meaning of that strangely distorted New York, of that red earth. It meant that this was what the Venerians believed was to happen! They were trying to show him the plans of the owners and builders of those gigantic ships!
Other men had arrived, men whom he met in his work. But there were Venerians here, too, in their protective suits, insulated against the cold of Earth, and against its atmosphere. "First, though, gentlemen, allow me to introduce Stel Felso Theu of the planet Talso, one of our allies in this struggle, and Zezdon Afthen and Fentes of Ortol, one of our other allies.
The head is in a place where it will be able to see over a wide area and it's in a safe place. The hand is very useful and can be improved upon but little. True, the Venerians have a second thumb, but the principle is the same. "But chemically, the bodies are probably very different.
To the extreme nose it ran, and throughout there were scattered little globes that gave off an intense white light, illuminating all of the interior. Translucent bull's-eyes obscured the few windows. All about, among the machines, lay Venerians. Dead they seemed, the illusion intensified by their strangely blue complexions.
