" Perry Rhodan 0076 - (68) Under the Stars of Druufon" - читать интересную книгу автора (Perry Rhodan)

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:

"In 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 decadesтАж"

Col. Everson had smiled weakly. "A very long time, sir. I donтАЩt know if anyone would have the patience
to wait 60 yearsтАж"

"This friend wouldтАФif Harnahan was telling the truth!" Rhodan had responded, smiling in turn. "IтАЩm going
to show you a video report made at the time when we flew back to Earth with theStardust 2 from
Tatlira. Naturally, Colonel, IтАЩm not doing this without a reason. IтАЩm assigning you the mission of going to
pick up our friend."

"Who is it, sir?"

Rhodan had simply smiled once more. For Everson this was where he had come in.

"Just wait a moment." With a few switch-turnings Rhodan darkened the small chamber that was serving
as his workroom during his stay on Myrtha 7. A projector began to hum. One of the walls became a
videoscreen. "The tape was made in the control room of theStardust . Present were Sgt. Harnahan,
Reginald Bell and I, although Bell makes his appearance somewhat after the film begins. Ready?"

"Ready," answered Marcus Everson tensely.

The wall began to live, bringing the past into the present.

Perry Rhodan looked up at a man with rugged yet sympathetic features standing before him.

"Make your report, sergeant! What did you find on the 4th planet?"

"On a moon of the 4th planet, sir!" corrected the sergeant evenly. "I found a sphere half a meter in
diameter. It lay on the edge of a rock formation and called to meтАФyes, it called me to it. I learned that
the sphere was a living being which fed off energy. Moreover, it could тАШseeтАЩ over unlimited distances and
project what it saw on its bodily surface. The sphere would make an ideal television set."

"If it were so inclined," Rhodan commented dubiously. "Its intentions are friendly," Harnahan asserted
with conviction. "I sensed that as it spoke with meтАФtelepathically, of course. WhatтАЩs more, it helped me
when a Springer ship attacked me. But look on the vidscreen, sir. ThereтАЩs the 4th planetтАж"

The vidscreen became visible on the wall. A point of light slid slowly across the screen and sank into the
depths of space.

"Your sphereтАж ?" asked Rhodan. "How great was its telepathic range?"
"200 light-yearsтАФat least thatтАЩs what it said."
