under the plan of Gegul. The plan calls for having the next conclave of Springer and Mounder Patriarchs on
the  moon  Laros  in  the  Gonom  System.  Laros  is  a  secret  biological  research  station  under  the  control  of
Keklos.  Keklos  is  experimenting  in  several  areas;  synthetic  "bio-men";  eternal  life;  and  a  new  secret
weapon made from the Basic Material from Gom. The Bio-Men are able to be intermediate transmitters for

fate. The Titan then proceeds to Laros, independently of Talamon. Talamon convinces Topthor to go in on
the  T-Steel  deal,  while  a  team  of  8  mutants  (Marshall,  Yokida,  Sengu,  Tschubai,  Kakuta,  Touffry,

positronic  computer  (Orion  -  Betelgeuse,  272  light  years  closer  to  Arkon),  then  they  manipulate  the
conclave as before. The mission is not completely successful as the "unknown entity" attacks the mutants
forcing a pullout. The Gazelle almost escapes but is telekinetically pulled to Gom. Perry must pull out and
leave them stranded. On Earth a structural compensator is installed in the Solar System.
