Curse of the Past (Alien Brut 6)

The space gondola had no significant armament. Their only option was to escape at a direct attack. At the same time, an automatic emergency signal was sent out. Takaarrath's consciousness returned at the very wrong moment. He just wanted to rise from the ground, as he was swept of his legs because of the extreme flight condition. He slid across the ground and dropped out of the spacecraft through the still open bulkhead. He went head over heels several times and landed relatively soft in a sand dune.
While Takaarrath is haunted by excerpts from his past and fantasized about the erstwhile 'Star Guardians', Marvin gets mess around with the idiosyncratic nature of the backup autocracy, the computer brain GLEESITT.
