Astounding Stories of Super-Science, August 1930

If,
therefore,
Dalis
could
mask
his
own
thoughts
from
the
brains
of
men,
he
could
also
mask
the
thoughts
of
the
people
of
his
Gens,
merely
by
willing
it!
So
Sarka
and
his
father
and
Jaska
could
not
know
whether
the
Gens
of
Dalis
had
gone
over
in
a
body
with
him,
in
a
truce
with
the
people
of
the
Moon,
or
whether
they
were
dual
prisoners--of
Dalis
and
of
the
Moon-men!
More
than
ever
was
it
necessary
for
someone
to
somehow
reach
the
Moon
and
make
a
thorough
investigation,
discover
just
what
Dalis
was
doing,
what
mischief
he
was
hatching.
The
secret
exit
dome
seemed
to
be
the
answer.
"You
can
manage
without
me,
father?"
asked
Sarka.
The
elder
Sarka
nodded.
"Of
the
other
Spokesmen
of
Earth,"
went
on
Sarka,
"I
trust
Gerd
the
most.
Might
I
suggest
that
you
bring
him
here,
trust
him
in
all
details,
and
let
him
take
my
place
wherever
possible?
Or,
better
still,
keep
Jaska
here
with
you!
I
...
I
may
not
be
able
to
return!
I'll
try
to
find
a
way,
but--we
can
always
communicate
telepathically.
Jaska...."
"Jaska,"
said
that
young
lady
grimly,
"goes
with
Sarka
wherever
Sarka
goes!"
"But
it
may
mean
death!
We
can
only
guess
at
the
cunning
of
the
Moon
dwellers!
They
may
have
been
in
secret
communication
with
Dalis
for
centuries!
Dalis,
who
somehow
discovered
our
secret
finger
code,
may
also
know
of
the
secret
exit
dome,
and
the
principle
upon
which
it
operates!
If
he
does,
he
may
know
how
to
combat
it!
Perhaps
that
explains
his
laughter!
Perhaps
he
heard
and
understood
every
word
we
spoke,
hears
and
understands
every
word
we
speak
now!
Who
knows?
He
may
wait
until
I
have
passed
through
the
secret
exit
dome,
and
then
make
it
impossible
for
me
to
be
reincarnated
on
the
Moon--or
elsewhere!"
