Tarrano's men the remaining few who were desperately fighting had suddenly withdrawn. And then we knew the purpose of this hanging room. A strange form of some tremendous electro-magnet. I could feel it pulling at me. My power to guide myself in the air was wavering. From my height I could see down into this ceilingless rectangle. It was un-manned by humans. A room of whirling, flashing knives!
Tarrano barely moved. "So? You tell me he was asleep at the mirrors, Argo?" "Master, I could not help it! Since first you made your move in Greater New York at Park Sixty, I have sat there. Two nights and a day " "And you fell asleep without asking for a relief?" "Master, I " "Did you?" "Yes. I did not realize I was sleeping " A gesture to Argo, and the man was flung closer to Tarrano's feet.
Telepathy was the explanation of Georg's mysterious actions as he stood there before the sending mirrors, crossed the room in confusion, and like one in a dream leaped from the window to be seized by Tarrano's spies. Maida had been abducted a moment before. Georg's brain became aware of it. Her danger, the appeal she sent to him. So it now seemed to be from Elza to me.
Tarrano's heavy brows went up. "So?" He chuckled. "That remains to be seen. Well, you heard the ultimatum they sent me? What do you think of it?" "I think you'd best obey it," I burst out impulsively. "I was not speaking to you." He did not change the level intonation of his voice, nor even look my way. "You are to die tomorrow, Jac Hallen " Elza gave a low cry; instantly his gaze swung to her.
Years of planning, with plans maturing slowly, secretly, and bursting now like a spreading ray-bomb upon the three worlds at once. In Venus, the Cold Country had conquered its governing Central State. Tarrano's army there was in full control. The helio station in the Great City was now reinstated. The Tarrano officials had already set up their new government.
Poor little Elza! She was shivering with fright. Tarrano seemed not to need information as to what had transpired. His eyes, roving over us, saw the lifeless, seared body of Wolfgar lying on the floor. "Too bad," he said. Then his gaze swung to Argo. "Master " "Silence!" There was on Tarrano's face and in his voice an expression, a tone quite new to me. A quiet grimness. More than that.
Then we tried altitude. Our projectors, mounted individually on small platforms automatically controlled to fly without human pilot, went up and we strove to get them over the barrage. At five thousand feet one went over safely. But the electronic bomb it dropped into the city was an easy mark for Tarrano's watchful defense rays. He exploded it harmlessly when it was still high above him.
The Lady Elza " I could feel Elza trembling again. Georg burst out: "What do you want of us? Who are you?" Tarrano's slim gray-brown hand came up. "The Lady Elza remembers me " He seemed waiting with his gentle smile for her to speak. "They called you Taro then," she said. Her voice was the small, scared, diffident voice of a child. "Yes. Taro. A mere sub-officer of the Central State.
