"Did you really think that you could escape my death ray ? Hundell, you astonish me ! Dont you know that this weapon is unequalled in the known universe ? Why I could reduce you to ashes with just a flick of this switch !"

Hundell kept cool but his mind was working at an inhuman speed. He would never be so foolish as to tell Dr Death where his switch was ! The good doctor was making a serious miscalculation. He thought he was dealing with an ordinary, if foolhardy, human - the truth couldnt have been more different !

For Hundell was one of 3 humans selected for an experimental project where molecular computers where implanted into various parts of his body. These computers contained the entire knowledge of mankind in them. He could call up anything he wanted to.

But they couldnt know everything - particularly that he would fall into the hands of an insane genius with a penchant for comic books and an instrument that could shake the universe down to its component atoms. There was absolutely no help from any of them on the subject of death rays nor what to do when said ray is pointed at one and one is surrounded by 10 armed guards.

He went throught his relaxation excercises. Caught himself panicking and righted his mind and body into an alert but relaxed state.

"And now Hundell, I invite you to accompany me. I have a feeling that you have some things to tell me ..."

Dr Death gestured with a gloved hand and a shiver of fear ran down Hundell's relaxed spine .... what could he mean ?
