 The loudspeaker interrupted him. It was the headquarters of the Mutant Corps again. "Correction, sir!"
said the man at the other end. "Fellmer Lloyd has completed his mission in the Horgas system and is
expected to arrive at Terrania any hour in a heavy cruiser. This message has just been received by us."

"That’s more like it," Bell commented. He winked at Jim Markus. "You’ve been lucky again and…"

He was interrupted once more. Trud, who screened all visitors who claimed they absolutely had to see
Bell, entered and silently handed him a report.

Perry Rhodan had sent it from Venus. He had contacted Trud immediately after talking to Markus and
given him instructions for the mutant Fellmer Lloyd.

Bell quickly glanced at the report and passed it on to Markus. "This is for your mutant, Captain!" Then
he held the memo back for another moment. He was curious about one sentence. It contained a word
which Perry Rhodan seldom used: imperative!

"…it is imperative that you determine as quickly as possible why Ralph Sikeron believed that Terra is in
acute danger…"




2/ SHADOWED



Capt. Jim Markus entered the cabin which Fellmer Lloyd occupied on their trip to the Heperais system.

The mutant was relaxing on his bed, reading a book.

"I wish I had your nerves," Markus exclaimed, shaking his head over the composure of the agent. In an
hour Fellmer Lloyd would be engaged in a hazardous mission and here he was reading instead of making
preparations.

Fellmer Lloyd, an innocuous looking man, stocky and broad-shouldered, stroked his hair, grinned and
replied: "I wish I hadyours , Captain. It’s no picnic either to elude the ships of the Arkonides and the
Springers."

"Lloyd, the time is 16:52 and…"

"…and you think," the telepath completed with a chuckle, "that it’s time for me to get up. But why? I can
start on my job any minute. It’s the same with us mutants as with yourLotus , Markus: either we’re ready
when necessary or we’ll never have to get ready again! YourLotus would be nothing but a cloud of gas
and I’d have breathed my last breath. Sit down, Captain, I’ve still got an hour."

"Not I," Markus replied evasively. He never felt comfortable in the company of mind reading mutants
and he ended his visit with the excuse that he was too busy to stay.
