ALMOST IMMORTAL


THE FANTASTIC FACES of the Antis are momentarily transfixed by a rapture of awe and
wonderment–bu the wonderment swiftly transforms itself into greed. There before them,
floating in a shell of energy, are 20 keys to Eternal Life!

Thomas Cardif speaks: "Feast your eyes on these cell activators… waiting here for you…
but you will never get them unless I give the mental order… AND OF MY OWN FREE WILL!"




1/ THE UNKNOWN BRAIN



This conversation took place on the planet Wanderer. Talking were the humanoid Homunk and his
master, the collective being that ruled Wanderer. Due to that particular concept of time that was shared
by the collective being and Homunk, the conversation consisting only of a few phrases extended over a
longer period in terms of Terra’s time.

Homunk:I notice that you are extraordinarily amused, Master. May I share your enjoyment?

IT:Of course, it’s no secret.

Homunk:Thank you.

IT:It concerns the cell-activator which was recently given to a being who calls himself Perry

The first time Kalal heard the roaring laughter was when he alighted from the walk-belt in the small
spaceport. It was so unusual that anyone dared to laugh in his presence that he whirled around in
indignation.

Behind him on the grey-white synthetic landing pad stood the towering Springer spaceship on which he
had just arrived and a few members of the crew who were about to disembark to follow the lone
passenger, as well as a few men of the ground personnel who had come to check the hydraulic landing
struts of the gigantic spaceship. A deep blue sky arched above the scene and the white sun of Utik
outshone itself with a heat which, to put it mildly, made the sweat pour from his forehead.

However he could not make out who laughed. With a shrug of his shoulders he walked over to the
automatic car which was waiting for him a few meters distant from the footbridge. He took 2 steps when
he heard another outburst of laughter. When he spun around again, the scene looked entirely different.
