281:. Upon arrival, they are immediately attacked by an aerial fleet of Martians. After defeating the enemy aircraft, they land and discover that the Martians speak English. The reason, it turns out, is that Martians have evolved in parallel with humans and recognized English as the "most convenient" language. The Martians are giant humanoids, and they have rejected emotions in favour of pure intellect. Zaidie's beauty intrigues one of the Martians whose baser instincts thus begin to re-emerge; disgusted, she shoots him dead in cold blood.

While they do not speak English like the Martians, they use music to communicate, and Zaidie is thus able to make herself understood through singing. Worried that they may be a corrupting influence on the pure and innocent Venusians, Zaidie and Redgrave decide to depart.

According to Barron, Griffith's negative outlook on the future of the Earth is overshadowed by what he calls "jingoistic and racist themes". One of the principal such themes Barron identifies is the position of dominance ascribed to
