TESTING THE ROBOT REGENT



THE SOLAR SECURITY SERVICE: 32 of its best men, picked for a Special Action against
the Positronicon of Arkon, the Robot Brain whose extent of dangerous knowledge must be
ascertained by Perry Rhodan.

Can the Positronicon measure the frequencies emitted by the structocomps of
hypertransing ships of the Solar Imperium? If so, there’s danger to the Earth!

Maj. Clyde Ostal, in the year 2042, receives orders from the Peacelord himself to take over
the armed spacerTigris in order to test the Robot Regent.

At the same time, events on Grautier, the Exile planet, have gotten out of hand and are
careening inexorably toward a catastrophic climax as—




THE TIGRIS LEAPS

THEY’D DONE IT!

3 men with exhausted faces sighed deeply as their department’s computer spewed out a length of tape
with an audible click. The tape fell rustling into a cup-shaped receptacle and at the same time the
computer, a device based on positronic principles, shut off and the humming and vibrating died away. A
penetrating silence suddenly reigned in the room.

Chief logician Nourag got up and crossed to the machine, taking the computer tape from its receptacle.
Then he turned and looked triumphantly at his 2 colleagues.

It was the finest reward for a work that had occupied them for 36 hours.

36 hours before, Chief Logician Nourag had been summoned to Allan D. Mercant, Marshal of Solar
Defence.

"I need," Mercant had said, "in 40 hours, a set of precise coördinates according to which our solar
system would appear to be in the following position… take this down if you will, Nourag… Phi 16
degrees, 34 minutes, 22 seconds; Psi 03:05:45; and Chi 44:43:01. Your range will be between 3,500 &
4,200 light-years from Earth. No more, no less. Within those limits, where you go is up to you and your
men to decide.

"Once you’ve determined those coördinates, you will have the interesting task of calculating the distance
from the Earth’s fictitious location to those star systems known to us.
