"But listen!" protested Seaton, "You'll probably change my whole personality! Rovol's brain is three times the size of mine." "Tut-tut nothing of the kind," Drasnik reproved him. "As you have said, you are using only a minute portion of the active mass of your brain. The same thing is true with us many millions of cycles would have to pass before we would be able to fill the brains we now have."
But you've formed a theory what is it, Drasnik?" "From my analysis of these facts and conjectures, in conjunction with certain purely psychological indices which we need not take time to go into now, I am certain that they have left their solar system, probably in an immense vessel built a long time ago and held in readiness for just such an emergency.
"Then why are your brains so large?" "Merely a provision of Nature that no possible accession of knowledge shall find her storehouse too small," replied Drasnik, positively. "Ready?" All three donned the headsets and a wave of mental force swept into Seaton's mind, a wave of such power that the Terrestrial's every sense wilted under the impact.
Then we'll find a hunk of copper on that planet somewhere, plate it with some of their own 'X' metal, and blow them into Kingdom Come." "May I venture a suggestion?" asked Drasnik, the First of Psychology. "Absolutely nothing you've said so far has been idle chatter."
The detector proper is a type of lamp, which gives a blue light at the ordinary intensity of such rays as would come from space or from an ordinary power plant, but gives a red light under strong excitation." "Uh-huh, I get that O. K.," said Seaton. "Rovol's great-great-great-grandfather had 'em I know all about 'em," Seaton encouraged Drasnik, who had paused, with a questioning glance.
Maybe some of them have got away already, and if one couple of 'em has beat us to it, we'll have the whole thing to do over again a thousand years or so from now. You've got the massive intellect, Drasnik. What can we do about it? We can't throw a detector screen all over the Galaxy."
Temperament is a basic trait of heredity, and is neither affected nor acquired by increase of knowledge. You acquired knowledge from Rovol, Drasnik, and others, as did I but you are still the flashing genius and I am still your balance wheel. As for Fenachrone toothlessness: now that you have considered it, what is your opinion?" "Hard to say.
In due time the nine hundred and sixth Fenachrone vessel was checked off on the model, and the two Terrestrials went in search of Drasnik, whom they found in his study, summing up and analyzing a mass of data, facts, and ideas which were being projected in the air around him. "Well, our first job's done," Seaton stated. "What do you know that you feel like passing around?"
Drasnik continued: "Another significant fact is that a great many persons I learned of some five hundred, and there were probably many more have disappeared without explanation and without leaving a trace; and it seems that they disappeared very shortly after our communication was delivered. One of these was Fenor, the Emperor.
Drasnik, on the Wyznica, which here extended the Russian defensive line westward, was occupied by the archduke's forces on Mackensen's left on the 1st of July, 1915. The drive of the Austro-German armies through Galicia has been dealt with in the account of the Austro-Russian campaign.
