Synopsis of 2597 - Hypercold

Beitrag von jerrys109 »

Nr. 2597
Hyperkälte
Hypercold
von Christian Montillon


ES continued to eat away at the substance of TALIN ANTHURESTA, ARCHETIM and APHANUR. Then the superintelligence even begins to tap the energy of Sol itself, creating an increasingly large sunspot. This makes the raging hyper-energetic chaos in the Sol system even worse than before. There seems to exist a suction occurring through Markanu , the home world of the Halftrack Changeures, which keeps briefly exchanging places with Wanderer. At the same time seems Gleam transforms into a Disc world through increasing its rotation. BettyToufry suffers from the hyper-cold of the superIntelligence, with which she is still connected by a mental bond. She believes to realize that there is more behind all this - the agony has to mean something else.

Once they arrive in the Sol system, Betty Toufry and Eritrea Kush watch, as the Para-block of the New-Globists , ES-mutants and Schohaakes collapse so that the ignition command for the fire eye finally gets through. The ball of Psi-matter threatens to explode. ES devours another two hundred million Neo-Globists. The Schohaakes, supported by Betty Toufry, direct Psi-matter from ARCHETIM’S corpse into the existing ball of unstable Psi-matter in the fire eye so that it becomes stabilized. When the fire eye reaches the sun, it is taken in by ARCHETIM’S corpse and then devoured by ES through his tapping beam - along with the Schohaakes, thousands of Spark people, more New-Globists and all the reincarnated mutants except for Betty Toufry and those in TZA'HANATH. The TERRANOVA screen shuts down and the people of the Sol system are again free.

Reginald Bull and Gucky begin the journey with the JULES VERNE-1 and part of the Sol Home Fleet to TALIN ANTHURESTA, where they are certain Perry Rhodan needs their help…

2598 Death of a Superintelligence synopsis

2598 Tod einer Superintelligenz
2598 Death of a Superintelligence
By Marc A. Herren
May 11, 1463 NGE. ES needs to feed on the Psi-matter of the PARALOX-ARSENAL, but VATROX-VAMU and tens of thousands of Jaranoc combat vessels have appeared. The entity still remains passive - apparently he is afraid of failing a second time in the attempt to collect the Arsenal. Meanwhile, the planet Markanu suddenly materializes in Wanderer’s former location within TALIN ANTHURESTA. The disc world of the super-intelligence appears in the hole that ES had eaten through the Dyson shell. At the same time remaining ES mutants in TZA'HANATH force the TALIN ANTHURESTA to fall back into normal space using brute force. But in the process the mutants pay for this success with their lives. Wanderer moves slowly towards the Arsenal, but VATROX-VAMU pushes in between them.

The entity takes on physical form and appears in the shape of an avatar of Frequency Follower Sinnafoch, in order to make Perry Rhodan an offer. Rhodan would help VATROX VAMU to collect the Psi-matter. In return, the entity that has now mentally subjugated the crews of all the Terran ships would pull out of the local group and never bother it again. Rhodan is set down in a fictitious world in which he is located on a bridge between Sinnafoch and Lotho Keraete, where he must decide. He declines the offer of the entity. VATROX-VAMU wants to strike Rhodan down, but he suddenly disappears, because Betty Toufry and Eritrea Kush have brought three Krathvira soul prisons that could be used against the entity. VATROX-VAMU now apparently wants to refresh himself with the Arsenal without Rhodan’s help and approaches it, while Wanderer will probably not get there in time, although it succeeds in performing a transition. The Terran finally gets help from Andromeda : The JULES VERNE and thousands of units of the Galactic fleet arrive.

Betty Toufry calls Perry Rhodan to herself, but when he arrives with MIKRU-JON in their silver ball, she realizes that his lack of a Knight’s aura makes him useless for her mission. The mutant sends Rhodan away and directs her silver sphere directly into the PARALOX-ARSENAL, so that a kind of crack is created – but Betty finds her final death in the process. VATROX-VAMU then takes the form of a battle light and attacks Wanderer. The disc world is devastated and dissolves after a kind of death-cry of the super-intelligence is sounded...

2599 The Last Day synposis

Beitrag von jerrys109 »

Hi everyone,
Just a quick personal note before the synopsis. This is the 599th issue I've translated since I began this whole thing with 2000. Here's to the hope that English publishing finally starts up again so that others here in this forum can have as much enjoyment as I've been having. :>

Der letzte Tag
The Last Day
von Marc A. Herren

May 11, 1463 NGE, at exactly 6:57PM: The superintelligence ES launches his death cry. Afterwards, the "last day" dawns. Shortly before this, the Haluter Icho Tolot and the Jaranoc Kardo Tarba negotiated terms of surrender, so that it came to no combat. After the supposed death of ES, it is only a matter of time before VATROX-VAMU will absorb the PARALOX ARSENAL into himself - with unknown consequences. The use of chain fields against the avatar of VATROX-VAMU, however, ensures that the entity is temporarily not able to consume the PARALOX ARSENAL, which is slowly but surely dividing into two spheres.

The superintelligence ES has not passed as thought, but taken refuge in the Concept Fellmer Lloyd / Ras Tschubai, which slowly takes on the familiar figure of the old man of Wanderer. He takes along Perry Rhodan to the planet Gleam, where the avatars of ES and VATROX-VAMU (in the form of Frequency Ffollower Sinnafoch) fight a duel, where VATROX-VAMU ends up consumed by ES.

They return to the MIKRU-JON, which heads to Wanderer. The Old Man of Wanderer dissolves into a golden light, which goes down to the disc world as a kind of spark shower. The Hyper-cold ends, as does the winter there. The ice and snow melt and Spring breaks out on Wanderer. Perry Rhodan is invited together with Mondra Diamond to the disc world, in order to get answers there. There they meet the New Globists previously incorporated by ES, who are given the choice to return to their former physical life or to remain in the collective consciousness of ES. The greatest part of them choose to remain.

The super-intelligence has, with the help of Atlan as a catalyst, consumed the Psi-matter in the PARALOX ARSENAL and now carries out his secret plan to split into two twin superintelligences: ES and TALIN. Due to the recent events and the division of its thickness concentration, ES had been so weakened that it was threatened with death. Only a further development into a Matter Source would have been a solution, but that would have meant incorporating all living beings in its thickness concentration. By dividing, however, such a development now recedes into the distant future and the thickness concentration is divided instead: ES will continue to hold the local group, while TALIN takes over the distant sites. The disc world Peregrinus, created from the planet Gleam, will henceforth serve as an anchor for TALIN, while ES will continue to rely on Wanderer.

Fellmer Lloyd and Ras Tschubai have merged permanently with ES again, many other mutants such as Betty Toufry are now completely dead and gone. The Trade star JERGALL of Anthuresta is carried into the Milky Way as a gift. Furthermore, with the help of ES and TALIN the new entity VAMU is created from the Vamus of the Vatrox, VATROX-CUUR, VATROX-VAMU, VATROX-DAAG and CHILD, as a separate entity. Shortly afterward VAMU is robbed of all its memories by the two net weavers Radyl and Felna by means of a short transition and then disappears into the vastness of space, joined by many of the Jaranoc Truncated cone ships. A new home will be found for all the remaining Jaranocs.

The future care of Polyport network, is entrusted to the Shadow Maahks, so the network will again be available to all the races. Perry Rhodan plays with the idea of exploring the network and the Polyport galaxies, rather than continuing as Terran Resident.

So ends the Stardust cycle….

2600 The Thanatos Program

Beitrag von jerrys109 »

Here we go, everyone - the Neuroversum sycle!

Nr. 2600
Das Thanatos-Programm
The Thanatos Program
by Uwe Anton


It is six years after the end of the war against the Frequency Monarchy: These last years have been peaceful. The Trade Star JERGALL - a gift of the superintelligences ES and TALIN - was stationed in the Aurora system and now serves as a coordinating point with other galaxies of Polyport network. In the galaxy Andromeda they are discussing the idea of a local version of the Galacticum, while in the Milky Way, the number of hyperstorms rises sharply. On the Earth a new race of aliens have started showing up, called Augurs by some people.

September 5, 1469 NGE : Perry Rhodan - now no longer Terran Resident , but instead the Special Representative of the Galacticum for the Polyport Domain - holds a press conference in the Solar Residence on the renovation of the BASIS and its upcoming journey into the galaxy Anthuresta. During the conference there are failures of technology and the Residence threatens to crash, but is safely intercepted. It later turns out that there such incidents throughout the Sol system – however, the origin remains unclear.

At the same time there are mysterious deaths happening on the BASIS. All the so-called aureole effect affected victims call out shortly before their deaths for Perry Rhodan, and they also say that his son is waiting for him on the ship. On board the MIKRU-JON Rhodan heads for the BASIS, accompanied by the mousebeaver Gucky, where they learn that strangeness effects have occurred near to all the victims. The manifestation of these effects suggests that another universe is trying to penetrate theirs. A little later it becomes known that the entire Sol system has vanished.

Shortly afterwards, a stranger appears on the BASIS, who introduces himself as Ennerhahl. He warns Perry Rhodan of an impending attack by the Dosanthis, who are pursuing a plan to steal the BASIS and bringing it to an ominous shipyard. In addition, he shows Rhodan the way to a previously unknown space - the Multiverse Ocular – in which Perry Rhodan first encounters his son Delorian Rhodan, and then finds the Suit of the Universes. Delorian gives his father an enigmatic warning before vanishing again: " QIN SHI is awakened. The BOTNETZ is ready. " He also learns that QIN SHI is responsible for the disappearance of the Sol system, and that no matter what, QIN SHI may not take possession of the BASIS, as Delorian needs it for himself. He has therefore triggered the Thanatos program. Its purpose, however, remains a mystery.

Ennerhahl gives the additional information that QIN SHI may in no case get hold of the Ocular and the suit, so he advises an evacuation and abandoning of the ship. Although the ship would fall into the hands of the enemy, the suit would not. Before he also disappears, Ennerhahl passes Perry Rhodan a data crystal.

After the disappearance of Ennerhahl, the BASIS materializes in the matter bridge between two galaxies, which Perry Rhodan initially christens Chanda I and II ChandaII. A battle with the Dosanthis, who use a particular paranormal gift, generates total panic, which the crew of the BASIS can barely escape from. The BASIS is evacuated. Perry Rhodan flees along with Mondra , Pucky and Partijan Nemo aboard the MIKRU-JON. More and more enemy ships appear and attack not only the BASIS, but also the ship’s fleeing boats…

2601 Galaxy in Turmoil synopsis

Nr. 2601
Galaxis in Aufruhr
Galaxy in Turmoil
by Leo Lukas

The BASIS was captured by the Dosanthi and the crew is on the run, hunted by the ships of the conquerors. The people from the BASIS, converted for peaceful trade, can hardly defend themselves against the massive attack. In addition, the attackers have a special Para-gift, by which a total panic is generated, which the crew can barely escape. Perry Rhodan flees along with Mondra , Pucky, Nemo Partijan and Ramoz aboard the MIKRU-JON .

The semi-intelligent, lynx like being Ramoz falls into a coma due to the effect, and his fur-colored, barely recognizable, elastic cuffs on his hind legs begin to change. They change color into green and begin to form branches and growths that gradually spread over his entire body.

Based upon the emergency protocols of the LFT Perry Rhodan flies with the MIKRU-JON to the nearest Sol type star, since these are intended as a rendezvous point for fleeing ships. The nearest star of the said type is shaken by countless UHF eruptions, leading to health problems in direct sunlight. Therefore, Gucky gives the star the name Morpheus, in reference to the ancient Greek god, because he can perceive no mental activity there. In the space of the system they discover a badly damaged BASIS-Tender that is identified as the CHISHOLM, whose crew is mostly unconscious from the impact of the UHF eruptions.

The MIKRU-JON succeeds in recovering the CHISHOLM from the danger zone and flying with it to the second of the twelve planets of the system, despite a warning message being automatically transmitted from a space fort. This planet is baptized Orontes, by the suggestion of Nemo Partijan, in reference to the ancient name of the river Nahr al-Asi , the "Recalcitrant River", which flows in Lebanon The air of the planet is generally breathable but contaminated with smoke and ash due to a large number of volcanoes. It also has very high temperatures. Even in the month-long polar night minimum temperatures are above 50 degrees Celsius. In addition, the surface contains countless ruined cities and spaceports that have been abandoned for millennia. Nevertheless, they decide to establish a base for the repair of the CHISHOLM and possible other spaceships on this planet.

It remains peaceful at first on the surface. A little later, however, it turns out that there is a great danger hiding in the underworld of Orontes. Countless robots rise out of the ground and attack the Terrans. Thanks to the help of Gucky and Heatha Nero Verde, a TLS agent doing an undercover internship on the ship, they manage to repel the attack. After things settle down, they decide to explore the underground, with Gucky taking the lead…

2602 The Death Wrestlers of Orontes synopsis

Beitrag von jerrys109 »

Nr. 2602
Die Todringer von Orontes
The Death Wrestlers of Orontes
von Michael Marcus Thurner

Perry Rhodan and Nemo Partijan start with MIKRU-JON to explore the environment of the planet Orontes, because probes cannot penetrate the hyperphysical chaos raging in the atmosphere. The mousebeaver Gucky is sent with Sinaid Velderbilt and Rynol Cog-Laar to the underground of Orontes in search of other possible dangers to the MIKRU-JON and the CHISHOLM in need of repair on the surface. Gucky continues to have problems with his using his skills as usual, which is probably caused by the Para-flickering. Radio communication is disturbed by the surrounding rock - the lower the group goes, the stronger to the radio traffic is affected, sometimes completely blocked.

At the same time there are several groups of death wrestlers - caterpillar like beings who, supported by very old exoskeletons – are on the way to the surface to kill the invaders. This is done primarily out of the fear of the " World Scourge ", which devastated their world long ago and almost eradicated their race. They live in nine clans, each headed by a clan mother is, and fears a second blow by the World Scourge. Their whole mindset is influenced by a variety of fears and taboos and their technology is gradually failing, because they no longer understand it. The arrival of the Galactics is the worst imaginable scenario for them. They believe that the strangers might cause the return of the World Scourge. Since all their old battle robots have been destroyed by the strangers, the clan mothers sent two hundred death wrestlers in several groups that are to destroy the newcomers.

The young death wrestler Awkurow falls into one of those groups. Like all creatures of his kind, he has a Para-gift. He can withdraw ambient heat and solidify any object into ice. When his group encounters the three Galactics, the various Para-gifts are used in coordination. The death wrestlers are very surprised to find an opponent in Gucky who can fight back against them with the same means, while Rynol must only play on his musical instrument to neutralize the forces of a death wrestler. Awkurow dares to attempt an attack by himself, but is ultimately defeated like his companions were. Surprisingly, the strangers refrain from killing Awkurow and his companions. On the contrary, as soon as the translators begin to work, Pucky and the Ertruser ask for asylum for all the Galactics. Just in time Pucky esperts the real plan of the death wrestlers. They want to make a volcano erupt in the immediate vicinity of the two crash-landed spaceships and thereby destroy the Galactics.

The crew members of the two ships guess nothing of this, of course, and they also have their own problems. The Mehandor Patriarch Tongger Feszak has become a troublemaker and campaigns against Perry Rhodan. Heatha Neroverde keeps an eye on him and realizes that he is guided only by fear. The Para-flickering continues to further deteriorate the state of Lor-Eli Aluccs , and Ramoz is now almost completely covered by the outgrowths from his "cuffs". Nemo Partijan, however, assumes that Ramoz is being protected against the Para-flickering by the outgrowths, but that they simultaneously deprive him of too much vital energy.

Gucky succeeds in persuading Awkurow to lead him to his clan mother Syb. She appears to be reasonable and brings about the termination of the attacks. The Galactics may remain for now on Orontes - that Pucky has the offered the death wrestlers a technology transfer, may have played a role in this decision. Awkurow is declared an intermediary between the death wrestlers and Galactics and sent to the MIKRU-JON. He is looked after by Heatha Neroverde.

Perry Rhodan’s reconnaissance flight with MIKRU-JON confirmed that a multi-ethnic mixture of races live in the matter of bridge Chanda. Apparently everybody is against everybody else - but all are struggling against the Dosanthi. Rhodan wonders whether it would be possible to form an alliance with one of the other races against the conquerors of the BASIS. Finally, radiograms are received from other corvettes that had escaped from the BASIS: The HARL DEPHIN and SENCO AHRAT have sent out compressed emergency calls. The ships are only a few hundred light years away and in trouble ...

2603 The Unstable World

Beitrag von jerrys109 »

Happy New Year everyone!

2603 - Die instabile Welt
The Unstable World
Michael Marcus Thurner

Heatha Nero Verde leads the death wrestler Awkurow through the CHISHOLM, to try to help him understand the mentality of the Galactics. As Awkurow learns that Lor-Eli Alucc is dying due to the Para-flickering, he sees an opportunity, for how to improve the still fragile relationship between the Galactics and death wrestlers. Although he was ejected from his people because of his past behavior and has to expect death by returning, he still takes Heatha Nero Verde and Sinaid Velderbilt into the underworld of Orontes. Although he is cruelly punished, the death wrestler ultimately sees his plan fulfilled. His people allow him to bring the autistic death wrestler Retepko to the CHISHOLM. Retepko’s Para-gift enables the damping of hyperenergetic influences. In this way Retepko shields Lor-Eli from the Para-flickering, so that Pic Lershimon can heal her.

Meanwhile, Perry Rhodan tries to aids the embattled BASIS corvettes SENCO AHRAT and HARL DEPHIN with the MIKRU-JON, but must soon discover that even the superior means of his ship are not sufficient to free his companions. Both Corvettes are badly damaged; the HARL Dephin can barely maneuver under its own power. More than seven hundred units of two races from the matter bridge of Chanda have encircled the corvettes. On the one hand, there are the Quolnäer Keretzen with their winged ships, and on the other are tulip shaped ships of the plant beings who call themselves the Sabyren. Both groups are battling each other, but end up working together against the Galactics. Despite all his efforts, the corvettes are at risk of being destroyed. The attackers are merciless and do not respond to attempts at contact. Rhodan cannot do anything - he can only choose to either save his own ship or to die along with the corvettes.

Pucky jumps into a unit of the Quolnäer Keretzen to explore and finds out that these beings, whose faces are dominated by oversized, downward curved tusks, only stand three feet tall, but are extremely aggressive and dangerous. The aggression of individuals and groups builds up again and again, like the Halutian pressure urge, so that they can no longer be stopped from attacking. They have no command structure, but a kind of swarm instinct that directs larger sized groups. Every individual being has a higher level of consciousness or a kind of psi-organ: the Tantoram. All these beings are connected by the Tantoram and somehow connected with their ships. The Tantoram can gain the upper hand and cause the Quolnäer Keretzen to repulse Para-gifts. It is also possible for them to emit a death pulse, which the Galactics call a flash wave. This causes the Quolnäer Keretzen to commit suicide and tear all living being in close vicinity with them to their doom. As the MIKRU-JON is caught up in the border of a flash wave, the state of Ramoz changes again in a strange manner, as the cocoon of tendrils wrapping him captures all the energy of the death impulse in the ship.

At the last moment the two three hundred meter battle cruisers MISSISSIPPI and TUBLIR materialize. With their heavy armament and the element of surprise on their side they shoot the three other ships an escape corridor. All five units flee into the corona of a nearby sun. There, the corvettes can be repaired, so that finally a common attempt to break through the cordon of enemy ships can be started. The environment of the sun, however, was mined. The MISSISSIPPI remains to give breathing room to the other ships, but is heavily damaged doing so. Perry Rhodan tries to help, but has to flee when the Quolnäer Keretzen trigger another flash wave. Rhodan, who has mentally joined as pilot with the MIKRU-JON, directs the energy to a "lightning rod": Ramoz or actually the cocoon which he is surrounded by. It captures the death impulse. All of a sudden the little lynx like being transforms into a man sized humanoid. He asks Mondra whether she likes his actual shape and comments that it is nice to be back home...

2604 The Hour of the Augurs synopsis

Beitrag von jerrys109 »

Nr. 2604
Die Stunde der Auguren
The Hour of the Augurs
von Wim Vandemaan

On September 5, 1469 NGE the stars go out in the sky over Terrania. The entire Sol system was wrapped in an energy field and presumably moved to a different location. It comes to inexplicable power outages, and the mainframes, NATHAN and LAOTSE are unresponsive until they can be reconfigured. All the transmitter connections to other solar systems are collapsing, and the transfer chimneys in the GALILEO Polyport court go out. But these are not the only pieces of bad news with which the First Terran Henrike Ybarri and the Terran Resident Reginald Bull have to deal with. The displacement of the Sol system was connected with space quakes, which lead to attacks of fatigue in humans. Many people suffer also suffer temporary memory loss and cognitive difficulties. Matter begins to dissolve into nothingness in a completely unpredictable manner - the so-called Nirvana phenomenon. There are also effects that are coined as Gravo-splitting and Gravo-erratics. These are localized gravity fluctuations, sometimes hanging items frozen in mid-air. Rock debris from the Kuiper Belt and the Oort Cloud rain down on the planet. Not all of the debris can be stopped in time by spaceships of LFT fleet, and so it comes to heavy destruction – including in Terrania City.

Journalist Shamsur Routh , Henrike Ybarri’s former husband, living in Terrania finds himself in a changed world. He sets out to search for his and Ybarris daughter Anicée. She has disappeared and does not answer attempts at contact. Her trail leads to Hamburg, where she and her friend Auris Bugenhagen have gone to listen to the pronouncements of so-called Augurs. These Augurs have been living for some time on Terra. No one seems to know anything about these humanoid beings. They appear to be androgynous and have no individual identity. Their faces are sometimes white in color and sometimes like shimmering mother of pearl, in which the gold-colored eyes with slit pupils, and a constant smile stand out. They always accompany their strange sermons with a song, one that they play on their musical instruments, the Phenube. Younger people especially are fascinated by their speeches. It seems as if they have suggestive influences. Routh attends such an event on the Reeperbahn. The Augur Stradnaver speaks of a new ear coming that will lead to the "Reformatting" of humanity. There are only a few tests to be passed, and then the goal will be reached - freedom. On September eighth, he announces, the great Augur Stradhaird would hold a crucial speech in Terrania.

Before Routh returns to Terrania, he follows Stradnaver to a seven-story pagoda tent on the grounds of the Ohlsdorfer Cemetery in Hamburg. There seems to be more Augurs in this building, the Gnauplon. Routh sends a spy probe into it, which, though destroyed immediately, is still able to transmit a still image. The torso of a fresh human corpse is seen in it. Are the Augurs actually ghouls? Stradhaird speaks on September eighth and ninth to tens of thousands of young people. He talks to them of a bondage and warns them of "the old". The old, he claims, will plunge into the abyss and tear along everyone that clings to it. Routh speaks to Anicée and Auris after Stradhaird’s first speech, but his daughter wants nothing to do with him. Suddenly, it comes to a disaster as a result of the Nirvana effect. A building collapses, burying many people underneath it. Anicée survives it with critical injuries. Auris, who had thrown herself protectively over Anicée, is probably dead. Routh takes his daughter to the nearest hospital. The next day he himself hears Stradhaird’s second speech. Routh believes that the Augurs want to fight a kind of proxy war on Terra.

When the situation normalizes at least a little bit, Reginald Bell sends the BOMBAY, a one thousand five hundred meter ship from the Explorer fleet under the command of Colonel Nuruzzaman, on an expedition into the surrounding area of the Sol system. It seems that the system is in an unfamiliar space, which has a diameter of only one hundred fifty light years and in which the laws of nature are being modified. Several dozen suns were in the strange miniature universe. The nearest one is seventeen light years away. Bull gives it the name of Next-Stop and sets it as the destination of the BOMBAY. Apparently, the foreign space is not uninhabited. Three space ships with two thousand six hundred meters length, vaguely reminiscent of gigantic nails, penetrate the Sol system. They do not react to radio calls or to transform cannon shots across the bow. On September ninth they dive into the sun, where they obviously start some manipulation, because on the same day all the people in the Sol system feel terrible name for a few seconds...

2605 The Planet Bridge synopsis

Beitrag von jerrys109 »

No. 2605

The Planet Bridge

Die Planetenbrücke

by Verena Themsen



The EX-33 BOMBAY ventures into the one hundred forty-three light year wide space bubble of the anomaly, in which the Sol system has been sent. Its goal is the Next Stop system, only seventeen light years from Sol. The flight has great difficulties due to the raging hyperphysical disturbances in the space bubble. The deputy commander Jenke Schousboe , a Irmdomer , loses two of the four SCARAB launches sent out to do reconnaissance, but at least it is determined that space itself somehow appears to "thicken" when you use too much energy as thrust.



Arrived in the white sun system of Next Stop, the crew of the BOMBAY is offered a fascinating picture. Two identically sized planets, each with elven thousand two hundred eleven kilometers of diameter – one an oxygen world and the other a poisonous gas planet - orbit the sun on a common orbit, and they are connected by a one thousand kilometer wide tube. The tube has a length of exactly twenty times the planets’ diameter. A gigantic city covers portions of the tube, and is apparently covered by a still unknown disturbing influence, because as the BOMBAY makes its approach, the ship's systems begin to fail. Therefore Schousboe lands on the oxygen world with the SCARAB VAHANA. Also on board is the cultural diagnostician Zachary Cranstoun. His twin brother Aiden began a relationship with the Irmdomer without her knowing that the twins are connected to each other with such a strong telepathic bond that one always experiences exactly what the other experiences.



The VAHANA ends up in an interference field and makes an emergency landing. It comes to peaceful contact with the friendly inhabitants of the planet, the Favadarei, who call their planet Faland. The Favadarei are more or less humanoid, taller than Terrans and have a very lean, flexible physique. Their heads are relatively small and bulbous. They have no face, but sensory prongs and a speech membrane. The Favadarei are gifted inventors, and they have all striven for a long time towards a common goal. They want to reach the planet bridge (the Shathrona), for which a special vehicle called FATROCHUN must be built. As their level of technology only includes the use of steam power, this goal is still far off. But Shimco Patoshin, one of the most gifted inventors of his time and a member of the committee that welcomes the Galactics, quickly recognizes that the stranger might be able to help the Favadarei in achieving their goal.



The VAHANA is repaired as best possible, so that it can be used for an expedition to the north continent Povgheuc. The closer the expedition approaches the Shathrona the more high-end devices fail - initially the SCARAB, then the SERUNS. During the subsequent forced march Zachary Cranstoun is killed by a predator. Aiden, still aboard the BOMBAY, suffers a shock from it. The expedition is canceled. Following an ancient tradition of the Favadarei, Zachary's brain is interred in the Continual Segment of the Amgheuc necropolis. The wormlike Gheucen preserve the brains of all the deceased Favadarei there from decay. Shortly after the funeral, Aiden is possessed by the consciousness of his brother. The Favadarei brains are still alive and they have joined together. Zachary's brain is welcomed into this collective and transmits his brother all the knowledge of the ancestors. This includes information that will enable the Galactics to rebuild the VAHANA into a FATROCHUN. A network of nodes of special hypercrystals is a part of this, which secures the SCARAB from the disturbing influence emanating from the Shathrona.



Before the VAHANA launches, Zachary sends his friends instructions on how to get past the gatekeeper of the Shathrona, and warns of the Omnipresent Rearguard, whatever that is. Then his spirit finally merges back into the collective consciousness of the dead. Shimco is allowed to give the command to start the FATROCHUN...

Unter dem Stahlschirm
Under the Steel Screeen
by Hubert Haensel

Despite the FATROCHUN, increasing network technology failures and the aggressive fauna of the northern regions of Faland make the trip by the VAHANA to the planet bridge difficult and dangerous. But finally the destination is reached, the password is transmitted and the way to the city that surrounds the one thousand kilometer long interplanetary tube ring is free. Unknown attackers with flying wing aircraft try to capture the SCARAB, but are able to be repelled. Finally, the VAHANA arrives at Hascomen, a multi-ethnic city upstream with a mixture of residences. The residents explain to the Galactics that the ring city by the name Alldar-shath and long ago became the gravesite of the positive superintelligence ALLDAR. ALLDAR once appeared in the form of various avatars as a protective power of a great empire and was killed by something called the Tombarsian Shock. The Fato'Fa - ancestors of Favadarei that built the planet bridge and still live there today - had the job, to securing the body of superintelligence in her tomb. The entire solar system was then moved for safety into a miniature universe - the anomaly. The Ubiquitous Rear Guard guards the tomb, whose only access is underneath a huge building called the Steel Screen.

In Alldar-shath Jenke Schousboe and her companions mingle in among the people and listen to a speech by High March Assigner Mareetu , the head of the city and the Omnipresent Rear Guard. He belongs to the race of the Fagesy, which are also responsible for the attacks on the VAHANA. Mareetu claims that ALLDAR’S rebirth is imminent and the super-intelligence had sent out one of her avatars: a cyborg named Trogey. The being with pearly skin also gives a speech. Suddenly there is unrest: Resisters draw attention to themselves. A raid follows, in which the Galactics are also captured. After some time the Fato'Fa Shipa Gajoship appears and frees the Galactics. He and his ilk are enemies of Fagesy. The opposition believes the story of the upcoming resuscitation of ALLDAR to be just propaganda which is intended to secure the power of the Fagesy. As Shipa stated that the disruptions ruling in the miniature universe have their origin in Alldar-shath, Jenke is ready to be pulled into his plans. The Galactics are to penetrate into the tomb to find out what is really going on.

For this purpose, the Intrantum left in Mareetu’s ownership is needed; it is a kind of key to the vault. Under the steel shield should also be accommodated ALLDAR’S accumulated knowledge, and access to this archive would certainly be helpful. The Fato'Fas create a diversion by attacking the cyborg. The being with the pearl colored skin repels the attack, but cannot prevent the abduction of Mareetu. With the Intrantum, the Galactics and Fato'Fas penetrate into the tomb on September 22, 1469 NGE. But ALLDAR’S shrine is empty! It seems that the Ubiquitous Rear Guard has failed in tis duty. Maybe that is the reason for their current deception...

2607 The Fimbul Impulse

Beitrag von jerrys109 »

Hello everyone,
Life's been busy, but I finally finished another issue. Here we go :unschuldig: -

Nr. 2607
Der Fimbul-Impuls
The Fimbul Impulse
von Wim Vandemaan


The findings of the Terrans show that it is the goal of the strangers who have penetrated the sun with their nail-shaped spaceships, to remove ARCHETIM’S body from Sol. They have failed in their first experiment, which gives the Terrans time to do something about these operations. Reginald Bull goes personally to the solar research station AMATERASU. He calls for mutant support from the TIPI. They put him in contact with the telepath Shanda Sarmotte, born in the Stardust system, who is currently located in rescue operations in areas affected by meteorite impacts and other disaster districts in Terrania. Shanda is given a tour in the AMATERASU by solar physicist Mofidul Huq and opens her telepathic senses. She finds ARCHETIM and realizes that the dead superintelligence does not simply rest there in the sun - the body has become so intertwined with Sol that they have practically become one. And that seems to interfere with what the foreign visitors are trying to do.

Shanda ends up in contact with the foreign beings, but has little understanding of their thoughts. The strangers form a disembodied collective being and call themselves the Spenta. They are sun cottagers, beings that live inside a sun. They have a special "organ" that allows them to convert energy so that it assumes any material shape desired by them (ephemeral matter). The presence of a super-intelligence’s body is unbearable for them and they are trying to eliminate this disgusting pollution from the sun. When this proves impossible, they develop another plan: They desire to extinguish the sun. That seems to be possible for them, but only with reinforcement. For Bull, one thing is certain: If more nail ships appear, they must be attacked by any means. At the same time the mass production of artificial suns must be started, for the worst case scenario. Without their central star all the planets of the solar system would within a very short time become dead, frozen wastes.

Meanwhile, Shamsur Routh is looking in again on his daughter. Anicée is leaving the hospital against her doctor’s advice. He overhears a com conversation between Anicée and her friend Auris that she thought was dead, but in fact: She now has a biopositronic brain prosthesis implanted. Routh learns that the Augurs call themselves the Sayporaner, and that a special event was going to soon occur in the Terrania Zoo. With the help of intelligent gorillas, who he used to know, Routh discovered in their Habitat one of those buildings that the Augurs have built on different continents. He estimates that there must be four hundred youngsters gathered inside it. He believes that Anicée must also be near. The young people are talking about the "passage over the transit parquet "and of a " new formatting at the patronage world " where they will become the new elite.

As Routh tries to enter this so-called Gnauplon, he is stopped by an Augur with a thinly veiled threat. Then all the young people suddenly disappear when the entrances to the structure are shut. Apparently, they were sent off by some kind of transmitter. Routh realizes that he must be like a child to be able to take the step over the transit parquet and follow his daughter. First, he informs Henrike Ybarri about his discoveries. Then he has his consciousness partly stored away by his Memo Implant "Puc”'- a prototype for a new Ara product. Mentally regressed to a five year old and instructed by Puc he is transported somewhere by the transmitter in Gnauplon.

As Ybarri responds, it's already too late; somewhere between fifty thousand to two hundred thousand young people in the solar system have disappeared. On September 12, 1469 NGE Reginald Bull holds a transmitted speech to all the planets, in which he informs the public about the latest events…

2608 - Android Conflict summary

Beitrag von jerrys109 »

Nr. 2608
Android Conflict
Konflikt der Androiden
von Hubert Haensel


According to Alaska Saedelaere’s subjective feelings it has been ten to twelve months since that day in April 1463 NGE when he had begun to search for Samburi Yura with the LUMINOSITY. But he is not certain of this because the Cosmocrat ship has its own time frame. As a result of their experiences on the planet Tolmar the mask bearer and the android Eroin Blitzer have become true comrades - if not friends. This trend is observed by the other androids suspiciously, and it appears to Alaska that they and also the ship’s computer DAN are beginning to show less and less cooperation towards him.

The conflict flares up days later when the LUMINOSITY reaches a galaxy that was said to once belong to the empire of Harmony (but is now desolate, with uninhabited planets), and the ship approaches a strange constellation consisting of two black holes. Between the singularities is an unstable sphere of indefinable space-time which seems to have a harmful effect on the cylindrical spaceship, because it causes an unscheduled stop. Saedelaere is convinced he will be able to find a trace of Samburi Yura here, but DAN refuses to approach any further. Therefore Saedelaere and take the sloop ROTOR-G and penetrate deeper into the sphere. Something that the two denote as degenerate Strangeness badly strains the sloop. But it turns out that Saedelaere’s Cappin fragment generates a growing zone of peace, so that continued flight is possible.

A small spaceship made of form energy is located and pulled into the ROTOR-G. Two tiny creatures emerge from the ship that looks like a giant walnut. The beings consist of a fluffy furred main body the size of a child's fist with big eyes, pointed ears and a small nose, to which is attached a long tail at whose end an anti-gravity organ sits, with the help of which the being able to move through the air. The two strangers are trusting beings. They feel especially good towards Saedelaere, because the radiation of his Cappin fragment is very pleasant for them.

Translators fail, so the Terran and the android are not informed that their two new companions come from the race of the Firibirim, who are living in several hives within the anomaly. Their names are Mel-anta-Sel (a Knowledge Seeker with black fur) and Dom-helo-Rom (an Artist with orange fur). They had taken flight to undertake something against a fleet of invaders that is disrupting the energy structure within the sphere that serves the Firibirims as food. The disorder causes the fact that the Firibirim initially all white offspring develop almost exclusively into Red Furs that belong in adulthood to the caste of command givers. Brown Firibirims responsible for all sorts of work, and Violet Firibirims that are the only ones of their race who can bear children are developing at an increasingly lesser rate.

The excitement of the little fur balls knows no bounds when the sensors of the ROTOR-G show a one hundred meter long ship, which has the shape of a log sawed off at both ends. The Firibirims know units of this type – they are the harmful invaders. A radio contact image is established. Humanoid creatures are seen. They all wear masks - just like the performers of the Cautionary Play of Tolmar.

2609 In the Empire of Masks

Beitrag von jerrys109 »

Nr. 2609
In the Empire of Masks
Im Reich der Masken
von Christian Montillon
The masked humanoids aboard the log like vessel are Escalianers, a race belonging to the Empire of Harmony. They may be suspicious, but do not behave hostilely. Alaska Saedelaere speaks with Guard Lieutenant Pridon, the commander of a fleet that had been protecting the Administrative Palace. Alaska Saedelaere learns that the fleet has been abducted by an unknown space-time phenomena in the Libration zone anomaly and lost contact with the Administrative Palace. Some fleet ships were destroyed and the same fate threatens the remaining units. Saedelaere offers to help - not entirely altruistically, because Pridon claims the builder Sholoubwa Saedelaere has been looking for is located in the Administrative Palace. This unit, in which the Duchess is staying, must have been placed in the core of the anomaly. To get there, the Escalianers need Saedelaere’s protection. The fact is that this protection is not produced by the ROTOR-G, but by the Cappin fragment, which the Terran does not initially reveal. The ships are grouped closely around the ROTOR-G. In this way they can penetrate deeper into the anomaly.

During the flight, the Escalianers suffer from increasing physical ailments. The first death is Pridon’s adviser Boraod. Saedelaere tries to concentrate the emanations of the Cappin fragment on the tracking devices of the ROTOR-G, for a systematic search for the Administrative Palace is otherwise not possible due to the raging hyperphysical chaos in the anomaly. The Administrative Palace is finally found. The Duchess receives Guard Lieutenant Pridon, Saedelaere and Eroin Blitzer. The Firibirim are with Saedelaere, carried in the pockets of his outfit. While they can still not communicate with Saedelaere, their Zenta organ allows them to understand his words. The conversation with the Duchess has to be interrupted because the Escalianers in the Palace are suddenly suffering from the same ailments as Pridon’s crews. It becomes clear that the Cappin fragment is responsible. Saedelaere tries to warn Pridon, but the Guard Lieutenant suffers cardiac arrest as he attempts this. Battle robots arrive to arrest Saedelaere. A spider-like robot appears and wants to converse, but apparently it has an organic component, because the Cappin fragment badly affects it also. When the battle robots open fire, Eroin Blitzer catches the identification of the spider robot. It is "Sholoubwa"...

Nr. 2610
Die Entscheidung des Androiden
The Decision of the Android
von Christian Montillon

Alaska Saedelaere and Eroin Blitzer are placed in severe distress in the Administrative Palace by battle robots. The android loses the control box, with which he could produce a UHF window that would allow them to step into the ROTOR-G. The Firibirims are able to penetrate the screens the Palace raised and retrieve the box. Back in the ROTOR-G Saedelaere tries to explain everything to the Escalianers over the radio. However, he does not receive a response. Meanwhile Blitzer is remembering that he had found a Necrophore in the LUMINOSITY, within in the private reservation of Samburi Yura. Finding one of the Chaotarc’s ultimate weapons on the ship of the forces of Order is what had made him open his own view of the world. With the help of a time box he sends Fallun Vierauf a message in which he asks his colleagues to think for themselves and hopes it will lead Vierauf to do the right thing.

The ROTOR G retreats from the vicinity of the Palace. A data packet arrives – is there an unknown friend in the Administrative Palace? Saedelaere decides to return to the Palace, because they have to help each other. The Escalianers have no chance to leave the anomaly on their own. But the Terran has to accept the fact that the continuously expanding influence of his Cappin fragment will injure the Escalianers again.

The ROTOR-G is carpet bombed immediately as it approaches. Guard Lieutenant Pridon, who had died, but was resuscitated, is the one that gave the order to fire. He would like to trust Saedelaere, but finds no evidence of the good intentions of the Terran himself through a ritual with which he can retrieve the data memories stored in his second brain. As a result of the degenerate Strangeness, the ROTOR-G is made vulnerable to attack and damaged. As Saedelaere makes his second overture to the Palace, the Cosmocrat ship is destroyed. The men flee in an escape pod, but Dom-helo-Rom is killed. Alaska determines they are incapable of leaving the anomaly with the capsule alone, so they have no choice but to penetrate the Palace again.

Meanwhile, Fallun Vierauf also enters Samburi Yura's private reserve and also sees what is stored there. The destruction of the ROTOR-G is registered. DAN still refuses to fly into the anomaly. The on-board computer even activates a new batch of androids to replace the old crew. Fallun Vierauf, however, has made provisions for this. He believes that Samburi Yura had taken the Necrophore for a case such as this, and threatens to use it to destroy the LUMINOSITY. Samburi Yura’s created artificial beings, with who he has made a pact (they are also determined to have the commander found), will do this for him. DAN relents. The LUMINOSITY approaches the anomaly...

2611 - Against the Madness

Beitrag von jerrys109 »

Nr. 2611
Gegen den Irrsinn
Against the Madness
von Marc A. Herren
Alaska Saedelaere and Eroin Blitzer penetrate the Administrative Palace. Their arrival does not go unnoticed, but all the soldiers who approach them, immediately suffer from the ever-widening radiation of his Cappin fragment and cannot stop him. They begin to hallucinate and rage around themselves, with some of them suffering organ failure. The Duchess commands the use of fighting robots, but Pridon opposes the order and instead sends Sholoubwa as a negotiator, because only the Terran can direct the Palace from the anomaly. The Cyborg disables his biological components and is therefore able to approach the Terran relatively unscathed. Saedelaere gains access to the control room and starts the drives. The Palace accelerates with minimum values. It will be able to leave the anomaly under its own power - but by then all the Escalianers will probably be dead. While the Palace slowly approaches the edge of the anomaly, the Duchess and Pridon also fall victim to the madness radiation from the harmful influence of the Cappin fragment. As Saedelaere prevents the Duchess from fleeing with a spaceship as planned by Pridon, the Guard Lieutenant turns to Sholoubwa to carry him to the headquarters where Alaska is working.

Suddenly the LUMINOSITY appears. The Cosmocrat cylinder is still under the control of Fallun Vierauf and has pushed ahead to the Palace. But even this powerful spaceship is badly affected by the chaotic conditions prevailing in the anomaly. DAN is unresponsive. When the ship accelerates the Palace with tractor beams, the cylinder begins to flicker and then totally disappears, as if it had never existed. Pridon reaches the headquarters and attempts to fire at Saedelaere. Mel-anta-Sel pounces upon the Escalianer and directs the man’s weapon arm downward. The shot misses Alaska and badly disables Sholoubwa. Pridon also suffers serious burns.

The Palace then reaches the Libration zone in a short time. The madness radiation immediately fades away. The conditions in the Palace return to normal. Pridon is treated and has good chances of survival, but Sholoubwa apparently cannot be saved. A Firibirim hive is located. Mel-anta-Sel could return to his people, but would rather stay with Saedelaere. The Terran is now to be brought to the Empire of Harmony and investigated - the Duchess still does not trust him. Eroin Blitzer does not seem to cope well with the loss of the LUMINOSITY. He sinks into apathy...

2612 Target BASIS

Beitrag von jerrys109 »

Nr. 2612
Zielpunkt BASIS
Target BASIS
von Michael Marcus Thurner

The BASIC was by conquered the Dosanthi. The crew is fleeing with lifeboats. Some Galactics end up left behind, including the Ertruser Trasur Sargon and the Terran gardener Gamma Oulhaq. After the problems caused by the Dosanthi panic attacks have subsided, the two reprogram a Daniel robot in order to access the computer net safely. In this way they learn that Rear Admiral Erik Theonta is also still on board. Protector Kaowen from the humanoid people of the Xylthe, the leader of the QIN SHI-Guard , leads the conquest of the BASIS. He must at all costs bring the Suit the Universes and the Multiverse Ocular into his possession. The search for the two objects is difficult, especially since Kaowen has no idea why he is doing this. The Protector orders the transport of the hijacked ship to its original destination, the shipyard APERAS KOKKAIA.

Perry Rhodan, Gucky and Nemo Partijan break out with the MIKRU-JON to search for the BASIS. Mondra remains back on Orontes. This pleases Ramoz, who has tired of the endless medical studies, which he had to endure since his transformation, and aims to have Rhodan's girlfriend to himself. The BASIS is no longer at its last known position, but the memory crystal, which Rhodan received from Ennerhahl, points the way to a probe. According to the data stored in it, the BASIS was brought to the sector Kollaron-Viibad. There Hyperstorms are raging, presumably stabilized by clouds of blue hypercrystals - possibly for thousands of years. The so-called Viibad-fractures are stable columns of hyper-hurricanes that end in Tryortan gullets and pull through the space sector.

The MIKRU-JON reaches the coordinates stored in the probe on September 25, 1469 NGE. Here, they find both the one hundred forty-nine kilometer measuring spherical shipyard APERAS KOKKAIA (seemingly a converted Trade star ) and the BASIS. The Terran long range spaceship is broken apart - but not according to the standard schematics. And apparently the process is still not complete. Partijan assumes that a new object of unknown shape is being formed from the fragments. Each fragment is covered by a protective screen, protecting them from the enemy fleet. For Rhodan it is clear that it is a consequence of the Delorian introduced Thanatos program. Ennerhahl’s crystal frees more information that will allow a modification of MIKRU-JON’S protective screens. In this way the MIKRU-JON can approach the BASIS fragments unnoticed.

Rhodan follows a recorded message from Ennerhahl to come to a meeting in a specific fragment. The Suit of the Universes allows him to penetrate the protective shield of the fragment, and expands the possibilities of his perceptions. Ennerhahl has been waiting for Rhodan. The interior of the fragment changes while the two of them talk to each other. Its matter seems to melt and form new shapes. Rhodan decides that his next target is the gray room. Somewhere in the vicinity, Raphael materializes...

2613 Agent of the Superintelligence

Beitrag von jerrys109 »

No. 2613
Agent der Superintelligenz
Agent of the Superintelligence
from Michael Marcus Thurner

With the help of Daniel robots, Trasur Sargon and Gamma Oulhaq find more crew members remaining in the BASIS, including Captain Erik Theonta. But he is wounded and leaves leadership of the group to the Ertruser. As it turns out, the Para-ability of the Dosanthis also stranded in the BASIS fragment has been exhausted. Trasur Sargon therefore plans to counter-attack.

Meanwhile, the BASIS decomposes further and further, until only tiny fragments are left of many of the individual segments. Perry Rhodan and Ennerhahl, are looking unsuccessfully for the Grey Room in which the Multiverse Ocular is probably hidden. Rhodan manages to communicate better with the Suit of the Universes. With it, Perry makes short contact with Raphael, an old helper of ES, who expresses surprise at the activation of the Thanatos program - ES had not arranged this event. He says that the Phanes configuration is producing a "rebirth" of the BASIS.

The activities of the two men do not remain hidden to the Xylthes. The intruders are located and brought with tractor beams to Protector Kaowen’s flagship RADONJU. Ennerhahl allows this to happen and even remains unimpressed when Reparat Mastarmo threatens them with torture. Ennerhahl does not complain when Rhodan volunteers to go first, but Kaowen chooses Ennerhahl. Only now does Ennerhahl act, reaching to hidden arsenal of weapons in a nondescript bracelet and activating a temporal field which greatly accelerates the passage of time for him and Rhodan. Ennerhahl humiliates Kaowen by tattooing obscene images onto his face. Rhodan and Ennerhahl flee, but do not depart the ship. Instead, they hide in a storeroom and the dark-skinned humanoid tells the Terran his life story, as far as it is known to himself.

Ennerhahl’s memories appear to begin with hard training that is carried out by his only companion, the robot Anarch-Gama, on the planet Begin. Ennerhahl was trained for an unknown client with inscrutable morals and enigmatic goals, that he calls Shadow Light. He completes some missions. One day he receives a job from the client’s android messenger. He is to recover the BOTNETZ for his client. For this purpose, he receives an enhanced light cell and limited access to the time wells. His search leads him to Totemhaim, where he meets Alaska Saedelaere, and finally into the galaxy Chanda, which is called Alkagar in the Polyport network. This galaxy should be accessible by the Polyport network, but is not and since 1463 NGE no longer even appears in the controllers. In the yard APERAS KOKKAIA he meets a stranger ( Delorian Rhodan ) who wants to win the BOTNETZ for himself, and a battle ensues. Finally, he learns of the planned transfer of the BASIS to the shipyard and sabotages this process to give Perry Rhodan time for countermeasures.

After the end of his story, Ennerhahl asks Rhodan once more for cooperation, but the Terran believes that he is still holding back important information. Before Rhodan can clarify this, an explosion occurs. Gas penetrates the storeroom and paralyzes the two men. Their hiding place has been discovered...

2614 Navigator Quistus synopsis

Beitrag von jerrys109 »

No. 2614
Navigator Quistus
by Christian Montillon

In group remaining stranded on the BASIS, Trasur Sargon decides to strike because the Para-ability of the Dosanthis has dried up and their physical powers are also diminished. The Galactics , however, are still in great danger, when the BASIS fragment continues to split.

Meanwhile, Ennerhahl has some more means and possibilities that once again allow him and Perry Rhodan to escape capture on board Protector Kaowen’s flagship. In a new hiding place they tap into the on-board computer of the RADONJU. They use this to locate where sloops are stored on board. Ennerhahl and Rhodan want to use one to escape the flagship. While watching Kaowen over the network, they notice that the Xylthe visits a specially secured room where something seems to be hidden. As Rhodan and Ennerhahl penetrate the space, they encounter Quistus and his companion Serume, two intelligent hydrogen breathers from the race of the Iothones.

The Iothones look like four-armed octopuses with four eyes. They must use survival capsules to move around on the RADONJU. They are telekinetic. They use this ability in part unconsciously in order to float, but are also able to use this power to purposefully move things telekinetically. They also have the ability to orient themselves in space without technical aids. They can even navigate Hyperstorms. Quistus and Serume were captured some time ago by Kaowen and tortured. He used them to navigate the BASIS, and apparently has other goals he wants to achieve with their help.


Rhodan and Ennerhahl liberate them and try to flee with them to a sloop. Combat robots engage them and Serume is killed. Although Quistus uses his Para-ability to destroy some of the robots, their numerical superiority and firepower is too great. Ennerhahl disappears, only to appear again in Kaowen’s shape, in order to distract the opponent. As a result, only Rhodan and Quistus launch with the sloop, but something is wrong with the ship. It suddenly falls from linear space and dives into the atmosphere of a hydrogen world.

2615 - Death Hunt For Rhodan

Beitrag von jerrys109 »

Nr. 2615
Todesjagd auf Rhodan
Death Hunt For Rhodan
by Markus Heitz


Perry Rhodan and Quistus lose control of their escape ship. It crashes on a hydrogen atmosphere world. An unknown influence there disturbs any higher technology or makes them only barely functional, and also disables the Para-ability of the Iothonen. The ship is destroyed on impact. Rhodan and Quistus survive and take off on foot from the crash site. They hide in a cave. Kaowen is following the two personally. In fact, he has staged their escape, for he has long been concerned with the planet. He believes there is a special transit parquet hidden there, which he absolutely wants to bring into his possession. He wants Rhodan and Quistus to find it for him - and none of his subordinates must know about it. Because he knows the conditions on the planet well, Kaowen has a particularly glider specially shielded, and brings along a sword and daggers. Through a tracking device hidden in the body of Iothonen the Xylthe can follow his prey anywhere, even though he also sees himself exposed to the planet’s dangers.

With the Suit of the Universes Rhodan recognizes that huge hollow spheres that float in the atmosphere are part of an intelligent collective being. After the Terran and Quistus survived the first attack by Kaowen – and Quistus can again use his active telekinesis - Rhodan makes contact with the hollow spheres. He and Quistus are brought to safety inside one of these creatures. The being reports of a foreign influence on the planet, which is also causing it pain. For Rhodan it is clear that this is the same interference that has impaired his SERUN. The collective being brings Rhodan and Quistus to the source of radiation. The two discover a cavern in which none of the adverse effects are noticeable anymore. There is an operational transit parquet there. Kaowen attacks them again. With the help of the Iothonen Rhodan gains the upper hand. Then the two escape using the transit parquet. Kaowen, whose suit was breached in the battle, so that the poison gas atmosphere penetrates, tries to follow them. But Rhodan had activated the self-destruct system. The Transit parquet explodes.

Countdown für Sol
Countdown for Sol
von Arndt Ellmer

Korbinian Boko and his twin sister Lia are "Spark Children"; their mother was once touched by the golden shower of sparks. Lia is a close range Teleporter, but Korbinian does not seem to have a Para-ability. The children grow up on the planet Aveda in the Stardust system. Their parents have mental health problems and keep the whole family isolated from the neighbors. In July 1415 NGE - the twins are six years old - the family home burns down. Lia searches for her missing brother and suffers brain damage because of smoke inhalation. Corbinian’s father finds his son later in the rubble of the house. The child is cowering completely untouched under a table and has a few toys with him, as well as the control module of the house’s servo unit, which actually should have contained the fire. It is clear that the boy must have somehow taken out the device, which is actually impossible, and thereby unknowingly caused the disaster. But how could he have survived the fire?

Three years after the fire, the family moves to Zyx. Lia is severely in need of care, as she still lies in a vegetative state. At the age of twenty Korbinian learns through a farewell letter from his parents, when they disappear with a glider and apparently commit suicide, what really happened at that time. He now knows how he survived, because over the years he has discovered that he is in fact Para-gifted. He can create a miniature universe around and can take along whatever he wants to. With some practice this "refuge," as he calls it, can be enlarged. Korbinian moves to Terra and cares for Lia in the following years, with the help of a Ferrone nurse named Ve. He keeps hoping for improvement in Lia’s condition. He becomes a star chef in a prestigious restaurant and falls in love with Ve.

Through the help of a friendly Terran, Korbinian encounters the Sayporaner Stradprais in 1468 NGE. He treats Lia with music from his Phenube. To the surprise of all the doctors, Lia’s condition improves rapidly. After some time she regains consciousness and can lead a virtually independent life again. Stradprais demands no money for this treatment, but a favor in the future. Korbinian must quit the restaurant and get hired by the Solar Fleet. His new job is in the research station AMATERASU in solar orbit, where he cooks for the crew. In due time, Korbinian learns from Ve, who is apparently equally under the spell of the Sayporaner as his Terran friends, he will get a signal in his ear from a micro-receiver. Then he will have to take action.

After the kidnapping of the sol system Reginald Bull and Shanda Sarmotte come to the AMATERASU. The Nail ships of the Spenta appear and begin the construction of the Fimbul network that will extinguish the sun. While desperate emergency measures are taken on all the planets, Shanda tries to learn more about the Sun Cottagers. On September 13, 1469 NGE - observed by the CUCULA PAMPO - another eleven Nail ships arrive, so that the Fimbul network will soon be completed. Although Shanda can maintain mental contact with the Spentas, the assembled warships of the Terrans are not able to locate the Nail spaceships or the network stations. As Shanda can finally determine their locations it proves impossible to relay this information to the fleet. The AMATERASU has suddenly found itself inside a refuge created by Korbinian. Shortly afterward, the Fimbul pulse is triggered ...

The Darkest Day of All
von Hubert Haensel

The sun does not go out immediately after the Fimbul Pulse, but only two weeks later. In the meantime, it is possible for Shanda Sarmotte to locate the creator of the strange miniature universe where the AMATERASU is trapped. Korbinian Boko seems to lie asleep in his cabin, but is enraptured by his false reality. Shanda believes that she can get in touch with him when she leaves the station. She is supported by Reginald Bell, who accompanies her. The two intrude into Boko’s dream world. Due to his feeling of guilt for it, the Stardust Terran keeps living through his parents' house fire in which his sister Lia was seriously injured. Shanda takes on Lia’s shape and leads Boko back to reality. He materializes in his cabin, while at the same time the “refuge” expires. Bull and Shanda reappear somewhat singed in the airlock. The station is suddenly back in the solar corona , but they cannot leave, because the sun is now wrapped by the Fimbul Crust, a two-dimensional membrane of ephemeral matter that does not let photons through and is impenetrable for the AMATERASU.

Meanwhile, a meeting occurs on Terra at the Society of Absent Friends - a group launched by Homer G. Adams. The Whistler robotics specialist Toja Zanabazar is a member of the society. The young woman is a director of the Whistler Museum in Terrania and has created several elaborate robots, including the increasingly "human" becoming Pollux and huge icicle shaped machines based on VARIO-1000 robots - OTHER and WISE. On behalf of Adams she brings messages to the Plophoser Flint Surtland, the hermit Virgil Rifeshyd living in the Arctic and Enoch Godolphin, the head of the Syncopha Syndicate. With the Springer cylinder LADY LAVERNA Toja travels to a gigantic construction site in space. There the Syncopha is working on the reconstruction Jupiter moon Ganymede, which had been destroyed in the year 1461 NGE. OTHER and WISE combine into a super computer that will serve as the central computer of the fort, which is a control station inside the emerging moon.

On September 29, 1469 NGE the sun begins to darken. Since it is also inflating, the AMATERASU caught on the other side of the Fimbul Crust is brought to the brink of destruction. Shanda takes up mental contact with the dying Boko and convinces him to create the "refuge" one last time. In the protection of this inverted space the AMATERASU manages to pierce the Fimbul Crust on September 30. Boko then dies.

Seen from the outside, the sun is like a giant black ball...

Happy New Year everyone! May this be the year we finally get e-book translations.

Nr. 2618
Escape From the Bridge World
Flucht von der Brückenwelt
von Verena Themsen

Jenke Schousboe and the other Galactics have found that ALLDAR’s body is gone. After they safely escape the crypt, this information is publicly distributed. There are be riots and violent clashes between the population and the Omnipresent Rear Guard. As the former High March Assigner Mareetu is stripped of his power and lobotomized, the Fagesy Phocallu is named his successor. The Supreme March Assigner Facao announces that the Galactics had stolen ALLDAR’s body. However, the fighting continues. The minions of the ubiquitous Rear Guard battles the insurgent population with full force. Jenke Schousboe falls into the hands of Facao and is brutally interrogated.

In the VAHANA a radio message is received from the BOMBAY, that the Omnipresent Rear Guard is attacking cities on Faland. The VAHANA is also attacked. A Fagesy enters the SCARAB and is killed, but part of his body substance is still alive and disappears somewhere in the ship. Then Jenke is freed and returned to the VAHANA. Zachary Cranstoun, who lives on in the dead brain collective, supplies the Galactics an important piece of new information. There are various control centers for the Dysfunctional Field, which interferes with the equipment of the BOMBAY. Even the locations are known. After a commando squad infiltrates one of these old centers and shuts a part of the field off, the VAHANA is able to escape into space.

Spaceships that resemble ancient human galleons with a humanoid figurehead and four outstretched arms, attack the human ships. The VAHANA is able to be channeled into the BOMBAY at the final second. But the Galactics might have a Trojan horse on board, because the remains of the Fagesy are still present on the VAHANA. On September thirtieth, the ship begins its journey back to the Sol system .

Meanwhile, Facao meets with the Augur Gaztraid to notify him that the Battle Ovules are ready and have made the connection. Gaztraid considers that this is very good news - everything is going according to plan ...
