Die Schläfer erwachen - und das Raumschiff wird zur Hölle!

Als im Jahre 1971 mit der Entdeckung des auf dem Mond gestrandeten arkonidischen Forschungsraumers der Grundstein zur Vereinigung der irdischen Menschheit und dem aus dieser Vereinigung erwachsenden Solaren Imperium gelegt wurde, ahnte noch niemand - auch nicht Perry Rhodan, der Begründer des terranischen Sternenreiches -, welche Anstrengungen und Nervenkraft es im Laufe der Jahre kosten würde, dieses Reich gegenüber Angriffen von innen und außen zu erhalten.
Die bisher gefährlichste Bedrohung der Menschheit, die in der "Schlacht um Terra" gipfelte, konnte dank arkonidischer Hilfe gebannt werden, ebenso wie die von Thomas Cardif, dem Renegaten, heraufbeschworene innenpolitische Gefahr durch Guckys Alleingang beseitigt werden konnte.
Eine friedliche Weiterentwicklung der Menschheit kann aber nur möglich sein, wenn in der Galaxis selbst Friede herrscht - und bis dahin scheint es noch ein weiter Weg zu sein...
Auch Atlan, der Unsterbliche, der erst vor kurzem die gigantische Maschine abgelöst hatte, die mit ihren unerbittlich zuschlagenden Robotflotten jede Revolution gegen die arkonidische Zentralgewalt im Keime zu ersticken pflegte, will den Frieden.
Atlan, jetzt Imperator Gonozal VIII genannt, und Perry Rhodan, der Administrator des Solaren Imperiums, unterstützen sich - schon aus reinem Selbsterhaltungstrieb - gegenseitig bei ihren Bemühungen.
Im Zuge des kürzlich unterzeichneten Beistandspaktes zwischen Arkon und Terra kam es auch bereits zu einigen Polizeieinsätzen solarer Flotteneinheiten, die überall dort innerhalb des arkonidischen Herrschaftsgebiets operierten, wo Ruhe und Ordnung empfindlich gestört waren.
Atlan ist sich jedoch darüber klar, daß Arkon über kurz oder lang dem Untergang geweiht ist, wenn es ihm nicht bald gelingt, tatkräftige und fähige Männer seines Volkes um sich zu scharen.
Können die seinerzeit von Gucky entdeckten und in den Weiten der Milchstraße zurückgelassenen "Schläfer" Atlans Helfer werden, oder frißt sie DIE FLAMMENDE SONNE...?

The natural communication (temporal overlap zone) between the Druuf universe and the Einstein universe deteriorates from day to day. The incursions of the Druufs become rarer. On Rhodan's orders, Lieutenant Grenoble patrols with a Gazelle on the outskirts of the rift zone. About ten Druuf ships materialize close to the Gazelle and set course in the direction of a blue star. Five other Druuf ships suddenly appear but dissappear at the same time due to the disintegration of the temporal overlap zone in that sector of space. Perry Rhodan asks Grenoble to return to the DRUSUS which then sets coarse for the blue sun. He decides to attack the Druuf vessels in order to make a demonstration by force for the Aras and Springers who are watching from a distance. In fact, when he starts out to confront the Druufs two Springer vessels observe him from afar. Rhodan attacks the Druuf ships on a planet of the blue star and destroys seven of them. The remaining three Druuf vessels take off and flee. Two are destroyed in flight whereas the last is allowed to escape. Atlan calls Rhodan by hypercom to inform him that he lacks competent Arkonide collaborators and then asks him to recover the Ship of the Ancestors. Rhodan returns to Earth to consult with commander Lund who was the commanding officer of the ARCTIC at the time of its discovery of the Ship of the Ancestors. In Terrania Pucky is on vacation. He pushes Bell, who is bathing, into the center of Goshun Lake by telekinesis. They are interrupted by the return of Rhodan who asks for them on board the DRUSUS.
Lund recalls his men to the ARCTIC while wondering why he must abandon the retraining of his crew that has hardly just begun. He receives the order to dock the ARCTIC in the hangers of the DRUSUS and to join Perry Rhodan. Pucky informs Lund about what really happened on the Ship of the Ancestors. They leave to search for the ship but upon arriving at the last known position determine that it has disappeared without leaving a trace. Rhodan believes that it may have made a transition through hyperspace and, therefore, it will now be like looking for a needle in a haystack. But Lund recalls that all transitions are recorded and archived in Terrania. Back on Earth, they determine that there was only one transition in that particular sector of space. The transition was for a distance of 20.3 light-years and it took place on September 10, 2044, eighteen days earlier.

On the Ship of the Ancestors the robots continue to serve the members of the last generation. During a meeting O-1 (the First Officer) proposes that they make a transition. He is supported by M-7 and D-3. Although he disagrees at first, C-1 (The Commander) gives into the majority and gives his permission. The transition succeeds but the space drive subsequently breaks down. At the time of a daily inspection of the vessel, M-7 and M-4 meet D-3. D-3 states that he just saw a shadow disappearing toward the cryogenic rooms. He then sent a robot into the room of the sleepers but the robot had not returned. In the room of the sleepers, Alos and Commodore Ceshal, members of the first generation, as well as many of the other Sleepers begin to wake up. At the time of the arrival of the robot they detain it and make it explain the situation. Ceshal then leaves the cryogenic storage room and makes contact with M-4, M-7 and D-3. When he learns that more than one hundred thousand Arkonide Sleepers are waking up, D-3 accompanies Ceshal to C-1 while leaving M-7 and M-4 as sentries by the door to the cryogenics storage room. C-1 decides to provide supplies and clothing to the ancestors (Sleepers) but not to let them out of the cryogenic storage chamber. Unfortunately, thousands of Sleepers do break out and overcome M-7 and M-4. Ceshal returns to the ancestors but by that time the Sleepers have managed to capture the entire deck of the ship where the cryogenic chamber is located. To conquer the rest of the vessel, Ceshal decides to block the renewal of air throughout the ship.

Detecting the decreasing oxygen content of the air in the Control Center, C-1 makes contact with Ceshal and decides to open all bulkheads. He invites Ceshal to come to the control center with his specialists. Arriving in the Control Room, Ceshal is given back the command of the ship by C-1 but by this time it is a meaningless title since they have already lost control of the vessel, the intercom system having been cut. On the Ship of Ancestors anarchy now reigns. Alos puts together a group of seven heavily armed robots and programs them as a personal guard detail. Protected by this robot detail he travels to the machine room in order to attempt to repair the engines.

Meanwhile, a Terran Cruiser finally locates the Ship of the Ancestors on September 29, 2044. The Arkonide ship, lacking any form of effective propulsion, is drifting toward the center of a sun named Magnus. Rhodan arrives at the scene with the DRUSUS. Ras Tschubai and Pucky teleport onto the Ship of the Ancestors. Arriving in the Control Center and aware of the situation, Pucky decides to go to the engine room while Ras remains in the control center to act as link between the two groups.

In the engine room, Erkal, Tunuter and Alos succeed in getting three engines operational. In another area of the Ship of Ancestors, Unista and Talassi as well as a group of awakened ancestors attempt without success to get to the Control Center. As an alternative they take over the fire control center of the ship. Detecting the DRUSUS which they do not realize is actually attempting to pull the Ship of the Ancestors from the gravitational field of Magnus, they decide to attack the Terran flagship. The DRUSUS, with the Ship of Ancestors in tow, slowly moves away from Magnus. But then Rhodan sees the muzzles of thermo cannons preparing to fire on the DRUSUS. He orders the defense shields raised but, as a result, the DRUSUS is no longer able to pull the Ship of Ancestors away from Magnus. Pucky teleports to Erkal who decides to cut the energy supply to the fire control center. Once the shooting stops the DRUSUS gets back under way. To reestablish order on the Ship of Ancestors Rhodan decides to send narcotic gas into the air conditioning system. Pucky arrives in the Control Center of the Ship of the Ancestors with gasmasks for Ceshal, Erkal and their friends. With the Arkonide vessel’s hyperdrive effectively out of order, Atlan sends five troop transport vessels to take the Arkonide ancestors back to Arkon for repatriation.

Atlan der jetzt Imperator Gonozal VIII von Arkon ist, hat ein Problem er hat nun ein Imperium aber keine fähigen Leute.
Aber da gab es doch dieses Ahnenschiff, also schickt er Perry und Co.

Das Chaos auf dem Schiff ist ein wenig verwirrend, weil man irgendwie nicht so richtig checkt, was da so manchmal abgeht, ansonsten ein schönes Abenteuer.

Atlan sabe que para acalmar, reerguer e reativar o Império Arcônida terá necessidade de homens capazes física e psicologicamente. Então o novo imperador pede auxílio, mais uma vez, a Rhodan. Esse auxílio seria apenas rebocar uma nave. Entretanto, tal nave já ia, à deriva, de encontro a um magnífico e sinistro sol branco! Gucky e Ras, os teleportadores, têm uma importante missão: saltar para a nave e descobrir o que se passa com os antepassados...

Ein Sequel zu #81 welches die ursprüngliche Story ein wenig kaputt macht, aber immerhin hat es einen guten Grund dafür. So mehr oder weniger.

Außerdem ist es einen Extrastern wert wenn Perry Gucky zum Abschluß des Abenteuers lieb streichelt.
