Chapter 8

Notes

窶暸nyway look at it", said Hadron. You whispered to each other. Following was to hear only whistling quietly, mewling, whispering and sighing. Something very important had found Hadron. It was at the putative instructions construction and site plans for the unknown base in the jungle and in addition for another base in the mountains. "This gets more and more interesting", it slipped Stella out. "These are already two bases now", said Hadron. Pathenon said suddenly: "No, it is three bases. We have the site plans in front of us and a fundamentally big two smaller. There are only a note and no detailed plan there, however. In addition, the bases seem to be armed strongly and also equipped differently. Furthermore a reference to a weapon which we do not have and which is in the jungle in the base stands here. There is no statement about this whether this weapon is active and it is what exactly." "What? Points here", Cyron said and took away from it the papers from the hand. Pathenon pointed at the appropriate text passages and drawings. "Yes, this is better than thought. The base in the jungle shines than the one in the mountains to be equipped more strongly. The big central base lies allegedly on the rear side of our planet." Hadron cursed: "By no means. Only water is on the back." "This may be. But here stands, that it is so. And none of us knows what it looks real on the back since nobody was there till now." Hadron nodded and had to see the argument. "Well and like it looks the weapon is around the it is in the jungle base one needs an electronic key, though and this one lies in the mountains base." "It is also mentioned it is what for a weapon?", Tarja asked. "No. I do not think... Moment... Of course something stands about this here.

Tactical data bases are. For reasons for the safety encoded and top secret. The technical ground plans are in the mountains base in a safe. The Mech-unit is a prototype but fully fit for use and ready for battle at the moment. It is in the jungle base under seal and is behind tank steel in a vaulted cellar roof. The access is protected by automatic laser cannons with movement sensors as well as the time and movement controlled explosive charges. Your deactivation only can be carried out via the key. A second spare key lies on the back of the planet within the central base, though. In the safe of the mountains base a piece of paper still likes in addition open this the key codes are quoted. If the key should get lost, one can enter the encoding over a terminal manually and deactivate the safety installations with that. They pay attention if they enter the vaulted cellar roofs and the code was incomplete. A fragmentary petition is the reason that a part of the safety automatic system is not deactivated. Rooms become in addition knife drones on attack switched enter this one.

Good luck"

One could not decode the name of the signing any more, he began with a C merely. "Knife drones?", Tarja asked. "Listen to himself according to a rather bad weapon system", answered Chiron. "Well", Cyron closed, "Is this really no matter, isn't it?" "I suggest we go onto the village square to the others and eat also first what", said Tarja. "Good idea. And we then will discuss each other with the others and what we do in a superior manner and where we go first." Cyron nodded and the others also agreed. They sat down to the edge and ate meat which one of the villagers gave to them, arrived on the village square. After thirty minutes everyone seemed to be ready and started to talk about gods and the world. You looked at their weapons and made stupid sayings. Cyron got up and went to the middle of the place. "Hello, listens to me, please." It retracted silence. "We have still found notes which we would not like to withhold from you there." He read out loud the text passages in question. The silence found a sudden end. Everyone talked at once and discussed. "Hey, hello!",Chiron yelled. The crowd hardly calmed down. "It is all about now that we should which ones we find out of the two bases first think. The ones in the mountains or this one in the jungle? The base on the back fells, I think first, since we have enough information about it and do not find these guaranteed in one of the other bases." It got loud again and the discussions flared up once more. "You think what where we should to first?", Tarja into the crowd called. There was suddenly an absolute silence and everyone stared at the young tigress. She stood there and looked into the round. Everyone looked up to her and noticed that milk drops formed at their nipples and at their fur pearled down. If no-one had noticed until there that she was in the quiet phase, everyone knew it and were astonished now. One of the wolves got up and told: "You say, us where we shall go first. If you show us the way, then we follow you. You be our ringleader and we like to follow you." Cyron looked around confusedly and then looked at Chiron but this one had only a rather strange facial expression. Agreeing murmuring surged contrary to Tarja. She was the new leader and knew that the troop would follow her. What might always have aroused it, too, what should always mean it, too, Tarja should be the number one. Chiron's words which he told her at their first meeting and the jigsaw puzzle seemed to increase to a image spontaneously occurred to it again. He had to have foreseen this moment. They stood now there, Chafren assembles forty-three around them and these expected a sentence from it. "We will move to the mountains and investigate the first base tomorrow early." Jubilation and approval of the others, also of Cyron and Chiron which felt deprived of power but did not regret them. This had said Tarja which they had already thought before. She had taken a decision and she was the right in their eyes. The young tigress smiled, it no, grinned and turned herself over to hers tomcat. She fell into the arms he and said: "I understand it now. I understand now what you had told me at that time." He took her into the arms and pressed her gently to himself. It had got very late and the darkness sank over the village. The fight troop had dissolved, put the weapons down and had moved to its accommodations. Tarja, their dearest tomcat, their parents as well as Casandra and the ocelot Hargot sat in their house and talked with each other. Stella had put several bottles of wine on the table and it should become a comfortable evening, because no-one after all knew whether and when it would be again so. Everyone was powerfully excited apart from Chiron. This one shuffled and was quiet suspiciously. Tarja looked at him and asked: "What is not correct? What tells to me you depresses." He had a view locked strangely and the so no-one could remember having seen it. He sighed. "I think I must tell what to you." The others pricked up their ears. "Na, it probably will not be so bad", Tarja cheered him up. "It is perhaps worse than you think and I am afraid of you with that to put a shock." Cyron stopped short, Stella looked at it confusedly, Tarja kept the head crooked and laid out the ears and Casandra and Hargot smiled for it friendly into the face. Casandra invited him and nodded: "Only to." "I am not this one, for which you hold me and I think now the time has come, to play with open cards." You looked at each other on and then to Chiron again. "You want what to tell us with that?", Cyron worried obviously asked. Chiron continued: "Now yes. I am already this one, which you know, there is no doubt there. But I am something else anyway. It was difficult for their to express himself." He gave himself an effort and burst with the truth out: "I am Chiron but I have experienced all this before albeit different and with disastrous consequences." "How you mean this?", asked Tarja and put the ears flatly to the head. "Well, I have traveled by the time." The others sat at the table, you looked stupid to and Stella suddenly began to laugh. "Why you laugh?", Chiron asked. "Nothing, already good. This sounds only in such a way silly." She put off and tried to calm down. "This is not silly but the truth her at all there was he on." The laughter died suddenly for her since she noticed that he means it seriously. Your eyes got bigger and she stared at him. "How all this can be?" "I will like to explain this to you. Everything ran this here over quite differently in the time line in which I originally lived. We also had met but fundamentally late. Our troop consisted of only ten AnChafren and was armed with arrows and spears merely. We decided to enter into the jungle base after the fight robots had attacked the village and killed almost the half of the residents. The first two fell on the way to the base, it was Hylas and Hadron." Cyron winced. The others stared at Chiron only horrified. "We reached the base, however, the fight robots were everywhere. We somehow managed, however, to enter into the base. Not very deep but it sufficed to see and understand it a little of the technology. We found a flight sledge, essential faster than every dragon and took him. We fled from the base and flew to the village. What we did not considered have it was that the robots had turned out and patroled in the village. We were in the approach when we were attacked. Three of us died on the place, it was Pathenon, Stella and Tarja. Cyron and I fled to the mountains and found the cave at long last with the arsenal. We recognized that we would have used these weapons before and they had got senseless by now. We found a machine in a side cave. We studied it and understood that it was a time portal. Our plan was certain with that. We took all the weapons to a place at which one would find them certainly. In addition, we collected all operating instructions together and put them to the weapons to this. We could not have used some of the equipment in their origin condition. Therefore we got down to work and modified many of them and built a missing equipment after. At the end we were, that sure the quantity would be sufficient for a powerful army and that the modifications would cover all cases. I still drafted a letter in which I gave indirect notes where we should search first and what would expect us. I did not know whether my memory would come through the time travel, I therefore have been on the safe side. I put the piece of paper to the documents so that it would be found guaranteed. Everything was cleared, Cyron decided to send me back by the time after. He himself wanted to take care that there are no traces and that one cannot follow me. He put explosive charges in the side cave. When I arrived in this time level, I knew what immediately to do is. I marched to the mountains and had a look whether our plan had turned out well. I found the sought-after weapons exactly there where we had stored them. All other things were a child's play. I went to the village to Hargot and met Tarja there. It was real chance but a very happy one. I got to know it fundamentally earlier. I noticed that we have enough time now to change the wheel of the history in our favor left. Everything developed into my satisfaction, until time as us the robots attacked at my hut. I had the fears there that it is off. The dragons with the weapons and other everybodies, however, appeared as then I was sure that everything would develop just like it was planned." Cyron let the air escape audibly. Everyone stared at Chiron. "Why you do not have said it before?", Stella asked. Tarja answered hers question: "Because otherwise we would have known the aim and the way there would have been distorted. In turn this also could have wrecked the result." Chiron nodded eagerly: "Tarja has understood the words which I gave to it at our first meeting on the way." "And now?", Cyron asked, "Think I what happens as next?" "I cannot say this because I do not know it. The current time line goes differently and I do not have information about it." "Where the Chiron is from our time line?", Stella asked uncertainly. "There is not this one, there has this one never been. I have already changed alone by my appearing here, by my presence the time. Through this it has another Chiron here and now, never given. The time axis lived a Chiron, before I arrived you have interrupted and we are experiencing this one changed directly into the time line now in this one." "You think we did not know this one for the Chiron I am normally further and also for our others it. but through this the time that you to us and our present and here self present has it come, you have changed us and our future." Chiron nodded: "I pant, for our others, arrive it the ones in front of mine lived, the time goes on normally on its line and they also will experience other things. For us, however, these do not play a role. We live here and now. Like us them having experienced and wanting to experience. All other things play no more role in this and should not be been interested by us either." However, this was a strong strong meat. "It should not us tell to the others", Cyron completed, "These perhaps would be overtaxed, my head buzzes at least." You nodded agreeing. Tarja got up and went to Chiron. She stroked him and cuddled up in his fur. "You have lost me once, this will not happen a second time", she said. She closed the eyes and held them tight in hers arms. You sat at the table still for a long time, drank the glass of wine and relaxed at the chat about trivialities. No-one wanted to think of Chiron's history more. When it was already late in the night, they went to bed and fell into a deep restless sleep.

Chapter 9

in the mountains

In the next morning everyone met on the village square and marched together to the riverbank where the dragons rested. "Good morning, tiger Cyron", Groodarn called happily, "You plan what as next?" "We fly to the mountains, our first aim is there. In addition, there was couple of very interesting news." You checked theirs equipments, packed food stocks into the bags, everyone got on the dragons, buckled himself and the travel began. First the mountains were only a grayish brown shadow at the horizon, however, got bigger fast. The one or other rest in the course of which everyone could rest a little was inserted in between times but the aim moved unstoppably more nearly and the mood got slowly but for certain depressed. No-one seemed suddenly to be more in such a hurry to intrude on the happening nit actively. After granting a respite for the flight they finally arrived at the foot of the rocks. Tarja said: "Ok, we will sit out here and this one rest of the way walk. Split up into your groups, remain thick within the groups at each other but not too thick. The groups should keep a longer distance to each other. Keep the eyes open and ears sharpened. What seems suspicious to you pays attention to everything and immediately let know, if a little suspicious to her, discover." Murmuring confirmed Tarja's instruction and the troop set out. Tarja turned Groodarn: "If you want, you can return to your caves. We call you if we need you." Groodarn nodded and smiled kindly. He gave a cry and the dragons rose to find their resting places in the mountains. Nothing happened the first minutes of the way, everything was looking for a way for the advancement. Cyron joined Tarja. "Perhaps the idea from here was below and primarily bad to begin on foot. We know not where we shall search and know primarily us to what we do not have to pay attention to find the base", it pointed out. "Trust me, I have such a feeling that we are here right and will find the entrance very fast to the base", Tarja held, against this. Cyron sighed. "We should open a camp still before setting in of the darkness, if we cannot find the entrance", the tomcat completed. Tarja only nodded. "You have changed within shortest time", he continued hims thoughts. You have got adult and ripe and you have developed to a very distinctively female predatory big cat, with a strong personality." Tarja looked at him, smiled and replied that she also has an excellent teacher. Cyron shook the head and laid out the ears. "No, I am your father and have a certain pre-complex function but I am not infallible and do not hand in a good teacher either." "Oh but. You are better than you think and all of us have faults." The tiger stopped, took his daughter at the arm and squeezed her. Chiron approached from behind and stepped there. "You would anyway stop that well. Firstly, this is my tigress, secondly, she still is used and, thirdly, this does not look particularly good if I marry she with crumpling up folds. I still already become she crumple well enough." The two let themselves off again and Tarja turned round to Chiron abruptly. She shall: "Be said approximately, that you make an request for me here and now?" Chiron nodded certainly. Tarja's eyes began to shine. She fell on hers lover's neck. Cyron closed the eyes and breathed deeply deeply: 'He thought finite. He has finally dared to ask.' You walked a couple of steps faster to establish the connection to the others again. Hours of the searching passed. At all nothing. The rock formation seemed invincibly and showed no promotion chances. Tarja was at despairing. "Have I taken a wrong decision anyway?", she asked skillfully, to Chiron. "No. Remain quite quiet. No-one has expected that we arrive here and all gates are far open." Tarja shook the head. Had been supposed to nevertheless perhaps make a reconnaissance flight to one of us with one of the dragons." "And then?" "Then had we saved the rummaging certainly." "You think this. However, it could have come also differently. The dragon could have been discovered and shot down." "Why this? We fly the dragons already so long live here." "No. Your town lies wide southwestern and Minzin and Taurel of many far eastern. Here where we are, nobody still has been before. If a reconnaissance flight had taken place, then we would have woken up sleeping dogs under circumstances and the surprise moment is at our side till now." This was undoubtedly plausible. One suddenly shouted something. Unrest took hold of the troop and everyone ran in the direction from this one the cry had come. Tumultuous excitement seized many. "People remain, quiet now anyway", Cyron called, "If we organize such a rebellion, then everybody knows at once anyway that we are here." The groups calmed down suddenly. One it had formed a grape, in the center the one stood, which had given the cry and was behind it - Cyron got shining eyes - more narrowly let through into the inside of the rock face. Cyron looked at his daughter and looked at the watch. "It has already got late. It is only two hours until the sundown. We open our camp here and carry on together in the dawn." "We should select four Chafren, the matter briefly more nearly look at himself this one and this one let through protect oneself. After all, we do not know it also this one is right things Helios pointed out where it leads there and whether." Tarja nodded briefly: "Ok. Three volunteers in front of, have the courage to form a reconnaissance patrol with me." The tiger-taur jutted out: "I come along because it was finally my idea." The lynx and hers big shadow then still stepped there. "Very good. The others build up the camp meanwhile sometimes and check the equipment and the reserves", and to the three turned round, "their goes on."

Chapter 10

first contacts

This one lets through was quite narrow but the group did not have any problems to draft marriages. "It might get rather narrow for the Pegasus and the unicorn", noticed the lynx. "Yes, you are right. We must if necessary let it outside. I think that it said, if and if the best will be if, tomorrow, everyone would not come along and remained couple of one to the protection in front of the rocks", to Tarja. Everyone nodded agreeing and continued the way. The crevice was open up to and it penetrated sufficiently through light so that everyone could recognize something. But there was end after around three hundred meters. The way made a fork and led into two grottos. "And now?", Helios asked. "We try it with the left way", Tarja decided. The four went on carefully and it got darker and darker. After only twenty meters Tarja stopped suddenly. "What is the matter?", the four pawing sabertooth tiger asked. "Any idea", Tarja did not reply, "I thought I would have listened what." You eavesdropped strainedly but it was quietly, somehow too quiet. Suddenly concerned light and the cats winced. "It damned", slipped the lynx out, "the surprise moment should be gone with that." You paused on the spot for several minutes. The light was very even and not too glaring. It seemed to come directly from the rock blanket. You looked around. "What your names are actually?",Tarja asked casually. The tiger-taur responded first: "My name is Helios." "I know", replied Tarja, "It already fell at the weapon distribution." The Taur nodded. "I meant actually both of you." The lynx looked at you: "My name is Kira and my friend is Pedro." Tarja smiled and said: "I am pleased to meet you." "Tarja quite for our part." "Ok. You think what. Do we go on or do we turn around better?" Kira told: "The surprise is anyway messed up, we then also can go on, and indicated in the wider direction. "Well, we then go on. You spread out a little and pulled up more nearly to the walls of the grotto to not stand on the way too centrally." Remain thick on the walls", said Pedro. "We hand in a too good aim on the way." Tarja proceeded, Helios was thick behind their and parallel to her, Kira and Pedro moved forward on the other side of the rock face. You searched very pernicketily over the walls and the ceiling to not get into an ambush. So they moved about six hundred meters further into the grotto, this then changed into a narrower way and turned few meters further to the right. One recognized a shining weak bluishly behind this bend. You stopped and looked at yourself. All of a sudden Kira ran in in the walk, made an estimate, unfolded skillfully and landed squated on her legs. Tarja whistled quietly and appreciating. Pedro seemed to turn ten centimeters taller with pride. Everyone saw on Kira and nothing happened. She turned round to the others and waved them here. You stood in front of a non-transparent wall shimmering bluishly. Helios took a stone and, on the other hand, threw it. It hissed as the stone vaporized and of the wall a buzzing considerably had to be heard. "This is what?", he asked. "Any idea", Tarja did not answer. "In any case we do not get further here. Therefore let us go back the way and try it with the other walk." Kira nodded and knocked the Taur on the bottom. "Wamanos", she still said and took the top. You went the way, this one they had come back and reached the way fork at which they at first had been. They were trying the other walk now. It led very far into the rock and after around two kilometers they reached a cave and stiffened. It was filled up with equipment which had never seen it. Different things were built up in the middle. Some of this were connected to wires with each other. Some were boxy and reminded to the little tactical monitors at the automatic weapons which Helios also carried on the back. These were only fundamentally bigger here. Around this collection at equipment boxes scattered lay. Many of this were open and spiders had been quartered in them. Some were locked. "We do not get this one open", thought Tarja. "Why so circumstantial tigress? What do we have our laser beam weapons for." It suddenly occurred to them now that they were not unarmed and the laser spotlights could hand in a good key. Kira drew her laser, activated it and pushed on the trigger. Hissing the beams developed their strength and the lock exploded. You went to the box and opened it. Every lot of papers was in it. You rummaged in it a little and overflew the document. It was number combinations, instruction books for computers, pre-document texts and the description of control mechanisms. "Bingo!", Pedro said dryly. "We snatch each other the paper and take them along", Tarja said. You threw back the piece of paper economy into the box and continued to search. You found another another three locked boxes and opened them in the known way. Papers were also into it. "I call this a good catch anyway", it slipped the Taur out. You packed all documents up into a box and took them along. What nobody knew it was that the four had penetrated into the base by the back entrance and fell virtually with the door into the house. Originally the entrance was sealed by a force field which, however, had given up in the course of the time. The real entrance was on the other side of the mountains and also led above kilometer of long tunnels into the base. Tarja, Kira, Helios and Pedro had therefore advanced directly into the alternative solution tax head office without noticing it.

Your entering into the mountain had not remained unnoticed. The central computer core woke up for the life, registered unauthorized life-forms in its area and took countermeasures. It activated the available fight units and dozens to knife drones. These swarmed out, whirred through the courses of the rock labyrinth and rose by a ventilation shaft to the open.

The group of four had made spoils and dragged the box through the walk. Kira led it and it furthermore had activated hers laser spotlight and was cocked. In case only of the cases, how her said. You left the grotto, stepped on the way and prepared to reach the crevice to outside. Suddenly heard it whirr behind himself. You turned round frightened and threw themselves instinctively to the ground. A flying something only only just shot away over its heads. It was undoubtedly the source of the whirring noise. This thing stopped abruptly in the air after it had missed its targets and paused there for several seconds. The cats looked up and fixed it with their looks. "Damned shits", Helios shouted, "This is what?" "It probably does not have foreseen idea but it on us." Tarja cried, "We have woken something", and drew her laser. Helios which at the side lay on the ground tipped his headband. Its laser cannons activated themselves and the tactical monitor provided data. "It is red! Red!", he yelled, "It is a knife drone. The data on my monitor are clear. The thing is a flying robot around whose core eight knives circularly move. We are mincemeat Au one, if the thing gets us." The sweat stepped for you from all pores. You had expected much but they had not thought that the first clash would arise so fast. The laser cannons cheeped on Helio's backs. A heart composed himself, him sat up, looked at the drone directly. A red dot could not be impressed, activated his aim laser and at the neck of the Taur shone this one. "It should no matter what you finish be fast", shouted Pedro. Almost at the same moment two enormous salvos hissed from the cannons and the drone staggered uncheckedly through the course, bumped only against the left rock face, then raked against these, where he finally exploded. The four lifted himself up, snatched themselves the box and ran around their life. After few seconds they had reached the exit and were frightened.

After the camp was built, the groups set themselves down, one rested, extended the legs and talked. Cyron, Chiron and Stella scurried like wild by the rows and between the AnChafren around to get a grip on their nervousness after Tarja and the other three into the rock had disappeared. Everyone was somehow tense what tensely would happen and what kind of news would bring along the small group. Presumptions were made and desert rumors, however, which proved fast far-fetched made the round. So the troop loafed about for almost two hours and no-one thought that everything should change suddenly.

The knife drones sent out by the computer had reached the open and met the troop of the Chafren thick about the rock flown, as it. These did not know happened and were as paralyzed like them at all. And you rushed at the hyena Uri only when the first drone activated his aim laser, the left forearm divided off, came into the crowd movement. It broke the pure chaos off. Frightened cats, wolves and bulls ran all on the search for a suitable cover through the area everywhere. But there was none. The first suddenly drew theirs laser and began to shoot at the drones, however, these were alone for it too many. Whirring and whirring seemed to come from everywhere and the things were damned fast. It finally met one and this one started to stagger, a second hit let the drone stiffen in the air. The control computer had been met and the knives stopped rotating. The third hit let the murder instrument have influence on the eternal hunting reasons and it fell to the ground. The Pegasus understood very fast that it was time to step in and that it depended on him. He rose into the air and adapted to the flight movements of the drones if it worked well. He activated his heavy laser cannons by brain sensors and was aimed. Every shot was a full hit and it blew a knife drone after the other one of the heaven. At first it was hard to get the summary for it because these were simply too many aims. Its tactical monitor counted twenty pieces and it almost seemed to see only red. But this acted fast and everyone lay destroyed on the ground at the end. He landed and deactivated hims weapon phalanx. The chaos in the groups dissolved itself and more quiet stopped off again. Uri lay on the ground wounded and was provided by two wolves. The bleeding was relatively stopped fast but the left forearm was lost hopelessly. Cut injuries which had got them of knife parts flying around were treated at some other AnChafren. Kira, Pedro, Tarja and Helios came just out from the rocks when the care of the injured in a walk was.
