"Then how are we going to transfer a good bit of that flame to Earth One?"
"I won't mind going over," said Maddox. "I'll see to it that Earth One gets a goodly dose. In fact, I think it might be a good idea to set up a relay system to bring bits of it through and send to other parts of the earth at one time. We can set atomic fires all over Earth One within a matter of seconds."
"Might restart several on Earth Two also," suggested Kingston. "Nothing like speeding things up a bit."
Maddox nodded, but there was a worried frown on his face. "There's one thing I don't relish," he said. "So far as we know, the only bit of radioisotopic phosphor containing the resonant element lies in the laboratory of Ed Bronson on Earth One."
"That's your only doorway?"
"To Earth One, yes."
"Then—"
"Then we return to our vantage point and watch. Sooner or later they will leave that set-up unguarded and we can get through to place other focal elements at a safer place on Earth One."
"Well," smiled Kingston, "once Virginia Carlson gets rid of Ed Bronson they must sooner or later leave that place unguarded and we can break in. Let's go and wait."
"And also prepare the drone to return that pillar of hell back to Earth Two," said Maddox with a bit of mild concern.
