The Ellio'sh Legacy (STAR COMMANDER 3)

By Jens Fitscher

The Zschwech do not let up. Commander Connar and his crew find out that the Ellio'sh once had a protective function within a space area of about 1000 light years. When they are about to return to their home solar system, Connar receives a strange message. It seems to come from the future. As he approaches the Earth system with the SORROW, his new flagship, heavy fighting is already raging.
Can Commander Tarik Connar, bearer of the "Ancient Force", high-ranking representative and legatee of the Ellio'sh, come to the aid of the hopelessly outnumbered Earth forces with only one ship?

Battle for the Earth

Zeno and Weidenreich entered a new, colorful world. All kinds of colors and shapes literally exploded around them. It was almost like being at a fair on the old earth in the deepest past, although this past still seemed very recent to Zeno.

A huge mass of people, or rather a mass of intelligent beings was enjoying themselves at all kinds of exhibition booths and apparatus.

A bit of Las Vegas, something of a market happening and many circus attractions taking place in the midst of the visitors, Zeno thought to himself.

Showmen and acrobats vied for the favor of the guests. Next to them were gaming machines that could be made to work with plastic chips.

New here? A still very young girl had taken Zeno's arm and smiled at him somewhat shyly.

I can show you around and explain everything. Are you two here for pleasure or are you here to do business. Because if you are, you're lost. 

Lightning Star II's amusement center consisted of two huge interconnected rooms, each ten times the size of a soccer field on the old, bygone Earth.

Many different corridors, hallways and corridors were branched with the rooms and seemingly, like a maze, they always led back.

Once you got in, you could not get out anytime soon. Zeno and Weidenreich were still standing relatively close to the entrance.

We're looking for information, it burst out of Zeno.

You can book me for anything you want, by the way, my name is Marah. 

Her cheeks had discolored a bit and she looked at Zeno with a perky twinkle in her eyes.

Zeno, and this is Markus, Zeno replied. What do you accept as payment?

Weidenreich looked at Zeno in amazement. We'd better go ahead and get the information ourselves. To him, the girl seemed unhelpful.

Preferably Terr. She looked at the puzzled faces of Zeno and Weidenreich as she showed them a smart card.

Oh, I see, you don't know what to do with it. Terr is an artificial currency basket and is managed virtually. I can use it to shop and pay throughout the solar system. You would not happen to have such a card?

Zeno replied in the negative.

Too bad, you just need to hold the two cards together and the predetermined amount will be transferred. Very simple, isn't it?

They had gone a little further by now. There were several man-made paths leading through the stalls.

Markus Weidenreich looked up when he was approached by a stall vendor: Look here, the best artifacts in the whole universe are only here. Come closer. Wondrous things you can acquire.

Weidenreich allowed himself to be distracted while Zeno continued talking to Marah.

I'll take valuables, too, of course, though they'll only make work for me if I have to sell them again. But if there's no other way.

It almost sounded like she was being coerced into doing something, even though she had, after all, approached them both and wanted something from them.

Her natural manner and youthful conceit attracted Zeno. He showed her his wristwatch.

This is a very old, but still working chronograph. Very valuable and over 250 years old, yet still fully functional. A real collector's item.

He opened the bracelet clasp and put it in her hand. With her mouth slightly open and full of amazement, she carefully took the watch with two fingers and examined it with a scrutinizing look.

I have heard of it, but have never seen such a device myself. It is traded very expensively even on the black market, more expensive even than many an artifact from the stars.

She looked at Zeno, startled. I can't accept that, or I'd have to commit myself to you for the next few years. 

Zeno had his arm around her waist as he replied, Is that an offer?

You can't fool with that, she held out the watch to him.

When he tried to reach for it, she pulled it back. I can sell them for you and we'll settle up later, would that be all right?

A cavern of sorts opened in front of Connar and Rastall, a room clad in imitation stone, in which only aliens seemed to reside. 

He counted at least five reptilians, who eyed him and Rastall intently as they entered. They were in a space bar, which was about half occupied.

When they stood so abruptly in the open entrance, all bustle briefly died away and they were briefly the focus of all attention.

It seemed to him that the reptilian's gazes were particularly intense and long on him.

What are we doing here? Shall we sit down in a seat and listen? Rastall looked around.

We won't find anything here. These fellows seem to have something against humans, just look at their behavior toward us.

Connar turned abruptly and continued to follow the corridor. Rastall had remained standing for a while and now rushed after him.

Again and again, you met beings from all possible areas of the universe, at least that is how it seemed to Connar.

Before 250 years this would have been still nonsense and now it seemed to be already everyday life; the meeting with extraterrestrials. Whether one still remembered the MERLIN, their old space transporter? And of its disappearance?

Suddenly, answering this question seemed to him most important above all else.

Rastall, we will first contact an official agency. There they can give us the most information about the local conditions. I can't believe I didn't think of that much earlier. 

As a uniformed man approached them, Connar asked about the possibility of learning more about the solar
