Summary/Abstract: With nonchalant movements I steer the transporter, tossing about the control levers. Comfortably elevated, I cross over my territory in all directions. Recently I discovered that some species had the ability to build and level tracks. Now the transporters move speedily and safely, thanks to the work of these auxiliary species. This helps me in keeping order. I know where each inhabitant is located, and for recreation I switch them on alternately. It amuses me to watch the operations that they can be provoked to perform by pushing various buttons. I have sovereign command of my territory, but something tempts me beyond it, to the unexplored and unregulated extremities, among species which up to now have been powerless, but are potentially dangerous.
