 The Arkonide student was neither Arkonide nor a student. She was in reality Laury Marten, a disguised
Terran agent who, like her partner John Marshall, could read other people’s minds. She walked
thoughtfully to the antigrav lift, on her way to the wing of the building in which she had been living for
months.

In her mind she was already formulating the text of the message she intended to ‘send’ to John Marshall.

Rohun the Springer captain could not betray John Marshall and Laury Marten. Too many of his own
interests were involved in his dealings with Perry Rhodan’s agents to switch sides. Anyway, he was just
not the type to be a traitor. Marshall had checked Rohun’s thoughts repeatedly, never finding any reason
to distrust him.

And now he sat across from him. When John Marshall’s face suddenly showed he was no longer
listening, the Springer had been trying to convince him his best course was abandoning the animal
dealership and forgetting about the hideout in Trulan’s vast slum district. The Springer captain had seen
that expression before.

John Marshall had become a telepathic receiving station!

Laury Marten, daughter of Rolf Marten and Anne Sloane, transmitted the news of her first success to
him.

"Ixt," said Rohun, leaning forward, "are you still listening to me?"

Marshall made a hand gesture that meant he was not. Rohun leaned back, having decided that patience
was his only alternative.

Concentrating strongly, his eyes half-closed and his body motionless, Marshall sat rigid in his seat and
telepathically instructed Laury Marten to determine at all costs whether or not there were in fact Terrans
being held behind the zoo force-fields.Try to find out whether they’re male or female, what countries
they come from and when they were born, Laury. If you have to, use your disintegration power.
But above all, don’t fail to make contact with them. According to all the reports from the other
agents, there are people in the zoo; you must find them, Laury! Do I make myself clear?

I understand perfectly,replied Laury Marten via telepathic impulse and with that the mental connection
between the two Terrans was broken.

John Marshall looked like someone who had just been awakened from a light doze. He raised his head,
opened his eyes and relaxed.

He took up the conversation with Rohun again where he had left off. "I don’t want to give the animal
shop up, Rohun. As long as the Ara secret service is only investigating, the danger isn’t serious yet. I just
want to know if I can depend on you in case of emergency. That’s why I came. What do you have to
say?"

As usual, Marshall kept watch on the Springer captain’s thoughts. The question had clearly angered
Rohun.

"I don’t have to say anything!" he growled. "Haven’t my clan and I risked our necks already? My best
men will be on their way to rescue you the minute you call for help! I’ll even risk my ship if I must!"
