SEVEN PLANETS orbited Star # 221-Tatlira, 1012 light-years away from
Earth. Almost exactly 60 years before, Terran spaceships had come into this
system and freed the second planetтАФGoszulтАЩs PlanetтАФfrom the rule of the
Galactic Traders.
No one knew if all was yet well on the 7 planets circling Tatlira or if some
cosmic disaster had swept the inhabitants of the star system out of their own plane
of existence.
The data concerning Tatlira lay on the navigation table just in front of the
control panel of the small positronicon abroad the superbattleship, Kublai Khan.
From the information the positronicon would make the necessary calculations for
the hypertransition.
Before the table sat a man.
He wore the light green uniform of the Solar Imperium, bearing the rank
insignia of a colonel. The golden stickpin on his chest indicated that he was the
commander of the ship, which with its diameter of 1500 meters belonged to the
gigantic units of the Imperium class.
The positronicon hummed gently. The last hytrans to the Tatlira System would
soon take place. In 10 minutes the Kublai Khan would be at its destination and
then it would be determined if old legends always did have some grains of truth.
Actually, the matter was not just a mere legend. It had been recorded in
unimpeachable sound and video in the 1990s.
Col. Marcus Everson could still well remember the hour when Perry Rhodan
had called for him. The Administrator of the Solar Imperium had had deep
furrows of concern and worry on his forehead and his voice seemed to have a
slight despairing tone in it as he said:
тАЬIn a difficult and almost hopeless situation, one should remember his friends,
Colonel. The struggle against the Druufs from the alien time-plane is taking up all
our strength and effort, yet at the moment it seems as though weтАЩve run up against
an enemy weтАЩre no match for. I know of a solar system in which someone is
waiting to do us a favour. But itтАЩs been 6 decadesтАжтАЭ
Col. Everson had smiled weakly. тАЬA very long time, sir. I donтАЩt know if anyone
would have the patience to wait 60 yearsтАжтАЭ
тАЬThis friend wouldтАФif Harnahan was telling the truth!тАЭ Rhodan had responded,
smiling in turn. тАЬIтАЩm going to show you a video report made at the time when we
flew back to Earth with the Stardust 2 from Tatlira. Naturally, Colonel, IтАЩm not
doing this without a reason. IтАЩm assigning you the mission of going to pick up our
friend.тАЭ
тАЬWho is it, sir?тАЭ
Rhodan had simply smiled once more. For Everson this was where he had come
in.
тАЬJust wait a moment.тАЭ With a few switch-turnings Rhodan darkened the small
