THE BRIEFING Bv y sheer speed and surprise, the daring mission to rescue the professor had succeeded. Soon afterwards, in an operating theater at the country's leading research hospital, a team of four doctors was being briefed in an even more daring and extraordinary mission. "Ladies and gentlemen," the defense secretary said, "we have just brought In the professor by helicopter. We now know what happened to him during his captivity, but we do not know the antidote for the poison pellets that were injected. Neither can we operate to remove them. As you see from the body scan, because of their minute size and difficult locations, we cannot reach them by normal surgery. "If we are to save the professor, and his vital work, we have no choice but to attempt the revolutionarynewtechniqueof microminiaturization." The defense secretary turned and pointed to a stainless-steel sphere that stood in the corner of the theater. It had a bubble-cockpit, windows and a ring of jet nozzles around its circumference. "This craft is the Microsphere," he continued. "With you as crew, it will be reduced to microscopic size and injected into the professor's bloodstream. Your mission will be to locate, and neutralize, the poison pellets in the professor's body " When the complex briefing was complete, the professor was carried in on a stretcher and attached to a life-support system next to the Microsphere.
