Walkabout At Merta (Solaran)

By Don Piatt Koch

The Solarans have come to visit a region space with systems that has been visited by invaders on at least nine previous occasions. The goal of the invaders was to take slaves and then destroy everything else that remained. Dropping a big big asteroid does the trick every time but is oh, so wasteful. Not that the invaders particularly care. Welcome to the Daak Region. The invaders last attempt was not so successful, their fleet was changed to dust, totally destroyed. Gone. The Commander of the Solarans senses that something about one of the planets in the Daak System, Merta is different, so he sends one of his trouble shooters, Alban Macrae, in to determine why this particular system is causing the hairs on the back of his neck to itch. The planet seems to be peaceful enough. Alban soon learns that the invaders are still active and have changed tactics. Merta is still the target. In addition, the Mertans have not recognized that the previous attack, thought to have failed, was more successful than they knew. How do you address the results of an invasion fifty years old when you do not know it succeeded. With every turn, Alban must develop creative solutions and then adjust for unintended consequences
