HERITAGE OF THE
LIZARD PEOPLE


1/ ADVENTURE ON AZGOLA



8240 LIGHT YEARS from Arkon and 37,111 light-years from TerraтАФand thus situated at the border
of the known universe and close to the gulf between the galaxiesтАФwas a lone sun.

It was listed in the star catalogues of the space-travelling races under the name of Azgos. Its 4 planets
had never played a significant role and only the 2nd had ever been inhabited by living beings. It was
called Azgola but its inhabitants, the once spindly Azgons, had been evacuated. This turn of events put
Azgola in the focal point of attention of many galactic power groups. Now the heretofore little noticed
planet far from the centres of conflict had become a touchstone of human intelligence because Azgola
was destined to be the proving ground for determining the superiority of human beings over robots.

RhodanтАЩs expeditionary fleet circled the system at a respectable distance. The Administrator himself was
aboard the battlecruiserSirius of the Solar class. He was accompanied by Reginald Bell and several
mutants. The final review of the situation was arranged so that the commanders of the other units could
take part by telecom.

Perry Rhodan recapped the prior events in a short outline for the purpose of acquainting with the facts all
those who had been absent before. It was an essential precaution to make clear the imminent action to
the fullest extent.

Rhodan paused for a moment and gazed thoughtfully at the array of little picture screens in the command
centre of theSirius . Each showed a face-trustworthy and highly determined. One of the faces was most
remarkable because of its large size, the face of Col. Jefe Claudrin, Commander of the superbattleship
Ironduke . He exhibited a confident grin.

Rhodan cleared his throat. "DonтАЩt be overly optimistic, Claudrin," he warned in an unusually serious
tone. "We wonтАЩt win this contest with the power of our war materiel. It will not be decided by our
technical skill but by the power of our logic. We are dealing with an opponent whose positronic brain is
far superior to ours. All will be in vain if we make the slightest mistake. I repeat once more so that
everybody will be aware of the historical background: an extinct race, probably lizards, lived on the
planet Mechanica, more than 50,000 lightyears from the stellar cluster M-13. Their metabolism was
distinctly different from our own. They did not take food in the same manner we do but lived from spores
which they ingested through their lungs and probably breathed in through their skin as well. In order to
obtain a sufficient supply of food they sent out robotships. They used 3 ships to do the job: The Scout to
