"Let's see what weapons you brought. Frank, did you encounter any of Togaro's people? His flyer brought some out. A few. Not many yet. We haven't seen Togaro--we don't know where he is. But his expedition is ready. They don't know that we control the fragment of rock--that they cannot escape from it. They're coming out." "If they do, father will stop them." Drake was willing enough to talk now. He said: "Yes, father will stop them. That doesn't worry us. But in the atom--in Dianne's world--did Alt tell you? They've got a single vehicle, like this one, Frank. They keep it hidden. We can't find it--or haven't been able to, yet. Togaro's leaders are winning our people, firing them with desire to conquer the earth." Dianne said: "When we get there--but, oh, Frank, I'm so glad you've come!" Her hand lay on mine; her fingers had gone cold. This was no regal princess--just an apprehensive, frightened little girl. Glad I had come! The weapons I had brought might be of use in this affair. But myself--what good could I be, trying to cope with a nation in revolt? Yet instinctively she turned to me. "I'm worried, Frank. These are my people--this is my world at stake. The Togarites are telling our workers that never will they have to work again." Drake interrupted passionately: "Dianne has told them they can't conquer the earth, that we control things up above! But they don't believe it. So now I'm going to threaten them. A bullet--they'll think that's magic. A knife thrust--and, Frank, we can't use the size-change as a weapon in Dianne's world. We dare not grow too large. You'll understand--you can understand now if you think of it. The Togarites' leaders have the drugs. They lurk everywhere in a size abnormally small. Sometimes they grow gigantic. But they dare not get too large. "You see, we cannot fight them in largeness upon Dianne's little earth. There is a limit to what is safe. We have avoided such combat, and so have they. But they are more daring now. "Their main expedition into largeness is about ready. It's all being done secretly--Dianne and her government are powerless to stop it. We think that a multitude of her people are willing to join Togaro's expedition. The leaders have been waiting for Togaro, but he has not come." I said, "Because he's out in our earth-world and can't get in." "Yes, doubtless. And now they won't wait any longer. The disaster, in spite of everything Dianne and I have been able to do, is now upon us." My mind groped with these strange things he was saying. A group of a hundred or more Togarite leaders had for years been in possession of the drugs. They had built themselves an interplanetary size-changing vehicle, like this one in which we were now traveling. They kept it hidden--in some small size, doubtless. Dianne's controlling government would have destroyed it, but they could not find it.
