You sure they're friends of yours. Yes, I know them all It's this that has convinced me how right judge augustus was in his suspicions Something very wrong is going on. Yeah, but they really don't do anything. I mean they don't try to hurt it They've all been polite. They've been polite enough, but they tell us nothing. They reveal nothing And somehow I know beneath their politeness their lurks deadly danger boy. That's sorry certainly gave you a cold shoulder Yes, let's see did and I think that bothered me more than any of the others I've known start all my life and we've traveled together from one end of the solar system to the other Well, we're not getting anywhere. Just talking come on. Where to now the next man on our list Is the secretary of agriculture in who shall I say is calling the planet man? Oh, you're to call the first regent's office at once first regent does he want us? I don't know but we were told to have you call him if you came in very well. May I use your audio factor? Of course Of course. Well, that's maybe something's beginning to break. I sure hope so I didn't figure on doing so much walking if my feet start to bother me again. You're gonna have to go it alone for a while Hello, may I have the office of the first regent? Oh, hello. This is planet man. The first region wanted me to call what's happening. They're getting him Hello Start this is dantro Yes. Yes, of course. We'll be right there Yes, come on. What now we're going back to sark's office. Hey, how do you sound like his old self? Maybe I was wrong. Perhaps there was a reason for his behavior I sure hope so from the way we got brushed off around here. I was beginning to get an inferiority complex What's up, sir a damn troll friend it's good to see you that's more like it What was that all about before I must apologize to both of you, but I've been very busy I have a lot on my mind and you hit me at a bad moment. You certainly had me confused for a moment I thought I was in the wrong office. Oh really? I don't know how to apologize. Oh, it isn't important At least now we're straight. Yes, you must let me make it up to you. How about staying with me while you're on marl? Well, there's nothing I'd like better Or have you room for my friend slats here? Oh, don't worry about me.

Well, after the time we've been having we could certainly use some hospitality Sard appears to be his old self again Actually, it's Marston's new hypnotic order to start in his attempt to capture dantro's mind. Can dantro prevent this move by Marston? We'll be back in a moment so level off When we left dantro and slats they had just been invited to visit Sartre the first legion of mars This invitation from start is actually the work of Marston who has control of start's mind through his devilish use of the hypno ray We find them now as they are talking with sartre Boy, that's what I call a meal.
