Chapter III
As soon as he crossed into the corridor, watching photo-electric cells sent an alarm pulsing into the guard room on the tier above. The metal-walled corridor throbbed with the deafening cry of a siren. Lanny darted toward his father's cell. "Hold the metal and make it over with your mind--just as we integrate with our clubs. It's the same principal, father."
