	Trigo and his nephew Janno were whirled
	through uncharted space, past unknown worlds.

	
	After what seemed a lifetime,
	they recovered consciousness
	in bright sunlight.

	
	
	
	
	Where . . .
	where are we ?

	
	
	
	
	Not on Elekton,
	that’s for sure !
	I’ve circumnavigated
	our planet many
	times, but I’ve
	never seen this
	type of country !

	
	Presently, they heard voices,
	and a craft glided into sight.

	
	They were addressed—in the common
	language of their own planet.

	
	
	
	
	Welcome to Orcadia.
	We have been
	expecting you.

	
	The Trigans were too astounded
	to speak. Their wonder increased
	when they came to a fabulous city.
