c=commander ... d=dash
C: well DASH, tell us something about
your fucking life in f4cg!
D: first it wasn't FUCKING, but it's
fucking COOL! when i was in ROLE
i started to be bored (NO OFFENCE
commander) and wanted to join a real
cool CRACKER GROUP! carry on.
C: well, how did you come into this
CRACKER GROUP?
D: this is a little embarrasing to say
but it was you, cmr, that got me into
f4cg. thanx a lot for that (shit why
am i saying such nice things to you,
i must be crazy)!
C: and when did you join F4CG?
D: gimme a break, man. i don't even know
anymore, but i think it was about
SEVEN MONTH ago.
C: are you a GAY ? (who knows?)
D: first that's NON of YOUR business!
C: why NOT?
D: but if i have to be HONEST, the
answer is "NO WAY"!
C: phew, am i lucky!
D: yes, you are, because if i was a gay,
you would not leave here without a
10-CM-HOLE in YOU ASS caused by my
DICK(-IE)!
C: what do you think about f4cg and
what's your function in f4cg?
D: well, i think that F4CG is GREAT and
that people should VOTE MORE for us.
my functions are swapping and
occasionally doing some graphix.
C: you said, you are no GAY! well, do
you have a girlfriend and if yes,
what's her name (if we may know it)?
D: yes, i HAVE and you may have the
honour to know HER NAME. it's
DAISY BLEUS.
C: who runs the FIRST PLACE in the c-64
scene in BELGIUM, you think?
D: well, i think that F4CG and LEGEND
are about equally the same, but ROLE
is certainly belonging to the BEST,
too
C: thanks for the compliment. well, your
favourite food?
D: as you know, i'm 100% BELGIAN. so i
like FRIES. well, i like them so much
that i ate them 5 WEEKS NONSTOP every
day and i felt really, really sick!
C: what do you think about the AUSTRIAN
SCENE!
D: THE ANCIENT TEMPLE is certainly the
best in AUSTRIA!
(ed. ooops! thanx for charming us!
but you're right, we're NO.1)
C: i think they thank you for the
publicity!! what's your date of birth
and what is the colour of your eyes!
(ED. sure we do! THANX dash, he he!)
D: i'm born on the 4th of july.
C: well, it's a ALSO a NICE MOVIE!
D: i HATED that movie. it SUCKED. i'm
about 1.65 m and i've brown hair and
brown eyes and if it's interesting
to know, my UNDERWEAR IS BROWN TOO!
C: BROWN underwear?
D: yes, some friends call it SMELLY, but
i call it CHEMICAL WARFARE.
C: it's STINKING here, aaargh.
i have heard that F4CG had some
problems a few weeks ago.
D: that problem is IMPROVING. so i hope
there won't be anymore problems 'bout
the spreading of our cracks.
C: do you like music? if yes, what?
D: MC HAMMER, EMF, JANET JACKSON and
RAP-STUFF!
C: do you have FRIENDS in the c=64 scene
and do you want to send them a GREET?
D: TMC, YOU, DWARF/MANOWAR, YUSOOF of
IKON VISUAL, GABRIEL/THE FORCE,
RESET of TRANSCOM, SID of F4CG and
some more...
C: nice collection! i don't see much
graphix from you in the F4CG products
why is that?
D: because till now, all the logo's that
f4cg used were made by scott. so they
used them untill they got boring or
something, but now THE WIM and LENNIE
of F4CG are going to use mine, too.
C: does f4cg has some enemies in the
scene?
D: YES!
C: which group is your favourite group
now and in the past?
D: now it's BONZAI and in the past it's
the DYNAMIC DUO!
C: your FUTUREPLANS in F4CG?
D: we will see what destiny brings to my
doormat!
C: do you like to say something to the
scene?
D: yes, i would like that LAMERS like
INFINITY were kicked out of the
scene!

for BUSY SCENE!
for all heteros
FOR ALL HETEROS!!
not that much reactions came from you,
dear readers, but the ones which came,
were all GOOD ones!
on the following lines you can read the
LOVESTORY of MR. CURLY/RADICAL!!
so let's go:
'i'm in the tenth grade of school and
last month i went on vacation with my
whole class. we drove with a big bus to
BREESHENS in the NETHERLANDS and our
quater was a BUNGALOW for one week! the
bungalows were quite nice, but we didn't
want to stay there forever, so we went
with a group of TEN HALF-DRUNKEN guys in
the village! it was already 10 o'clock
and the deadline to return to the bunga-
lows was 11 o'clock. but we had so much
fun and NOBODY looked on his watch! then
we arrived at the local disco and went
in. there was only hip-hop-music, not my
taste. so we looked around and suddenly
one of my friends said: 'yep, guys!
look over there! what would you say to
that blond PUSSY ?'
everybody turned around. and then i saw
her! yeahh, dear readers, it must sound
very lame, but she was so - well, ....
eh, i can't describe it. she was really
the PRETTIEST girl i ever saw. she was
ca. 1,65m tall, had dark blond hair down
to her shoulders and (I RECOGNIZED THAT
LATER) beautiful green EYES. my heart
beat was getting faster, and i became
red as she looked DIRECTLY in my eyes,
and she smiled!! ohh, that was too much
the other guys noticed that i got a red
head and said: 'wow,joerg,LOVE by FIRST
LOOK,ehh ??' or 'you're really struck,
or what ??'.
my brain was CLEAR again. it was sure,i
had to go to her and to talk to her. but
WHAT ? WHAT COULD I SAY ??
i didn't know nothing.i asked my friends
what to say but the only answers were :
'stay cool' or 'ask her to dance' or
'give her a hit on her back, 'ask her
what the time is' or the silliest i
heard 'ask her if she knows you germany
where !' (e.d. this sentence woz unread-
able for me so pleeze forgive me if it's
wrong, what surely is !!)
all these possibilities seemed to me so
rubbish and lame.
and it would be another problem, i was
GERMAN and she was DUTCH.
yeah, i came over me and my heart was
just beating like a machine gun. i did
one stel. 'yo, GO ON!' i said to myself.
GO ON and talk to her.' yes i did it.
slowly i went to her and a girl friend
of hers noticed me at once. she pointed
in my direction and MY girl was turning
around. my heart beat became even FASTER
she was only 6 - 7 meters away. that
short way. i thought it were 50 meters.
then i was standing next to her. her
GIRLFRIEND was quitly laughing.that what
i now did, seemed to me so LAME and
CHILDISH, because i asked: 'eh?.. what's
your name? (i spoke in german!)'
she smiled at me and answered something
in dutch. she said: 'wat heb je?' (for
all dutch people who understand it!!)
SHE was laughing at her girlfriend.
i asked: 'do you speak english?'
'yes' she said 'hihihi...'.
i turned around to my friends, and they
were almost leughing at me. BUT i had
SUCCESS. i asked yer to dance and after
we'd danced for about 10 to 15 minutes
we went to my friends and chatted
together. some guys had already recog-
nized ANOTHER nice girl, but i was only
THINKING of ANNEMIEHE. we sat together,
drunk beer and talked. and suddenly,
after a deep look in her eyes, i KISSED
her. it was absolutely FASCINATING.
i never feeled like this before!! i was
so excited when my hand PETTED her back.
yep,it's alright,i had some girlfriends
before, but nobody of them had kissed
in that WAY !! when her TONGUE touched
MINE, i feeled like standing under a
gigantic shower, which spreads the cold
water over my whole body !!
(e.d. maybe the kisses are too wet,he!)
i think the whole KISS was only for 10
seconds, but i thought it were minutes!
i will never forget that FEELING. then
we went outside and next to the disco
were some banks of wood. they were quite
wet (e.d. like her kisses ??), but
instead of searching for another place
we kissed us again.
longer than before. my hands went UNDER
her t-shirt and passed over her TITS!!
that was the greatest feeling of soft-
ness if ever had. i didn't DARE to go
further, because i'd known her just for
2 hours. she INTERRUPTED everything
SLOWLY. and then she said: ' i, i've go
now, joerg. but i'll come tomorrow
morning to the bungalow, ok??'.'yep, ok'
i said 'good bye!'. and not forever.
she really WAITED for me in front of the
BUNGALOW the next morning.
what we did then and in the days after,
that can you read in the next issues.!!
well dear readers, i hope you liked this
story as i did!
in the next issue you are able to read
the continuation of this story!
mr. curly haven't said what he wants
'playboy' or 'penthouse' so i decided to
send him a 'playboy'!
he already got it when you will be able
to read this story!
if you also want to win the latest issue
of 'playboy' or 'penthouse' don't
hesitate and write a story about yer 1st
kiss or fuck or an article about diff.
sex-practices you tried etc.
send them all to: (also to get vote

REVIEWS AND TESTS!
SMOOTH CRIMINAL ISSUE 5 BY PARAGON !
INTRO:
the intro uses the same zak like
the mag! on top of the screen you
can see a line-crunched paragon
logo which is 2 screens wide !
in the middle of the screen a 2x2
line containing the text
'SMOOTH CRIMINAL'
is jumping up'n'down and left'n'
right ! on the bottom a 5x6 scroll
is filling up the screen !
(e.d. it's a very nice intro but
do not initialize the zak in the
main menue again !!)
THE MAINPROGRAMM:
the code of the whole thing isn't
that stunning but which counts is
the text and not the code so the
code is ok!
to get a better atmosphere in
reading the text there can be a
IRQ-LOADER added but the load
routine installed yet is FAST
ENOUGH to don't get frustrated!
the muzak is COOL and don't gets
boring after a while! (e.d. it's
a shame that it isn't allowed to
rip, hehe!!) also the logo is
nice and SUITS a lot to the whole
OUTFIT!
you are able to choose yer chapter
by wanking the joystick in port ii
if you choose a chapter twice it
don't loads again like in other
mags and that's COOL! in fact the
SMC is now a PARAGON production
you can find a lot of new chapters
the contain MANY cool TEXTS like
a cool explanation about WEAPONS
(also an instruction to make the
WEAPONS y your own!)
also nice jokes are included which
are really funny !
the idea with the chapter
'SCRIBBLE BOARD' is very original!
there you can say your opinion
about other people (not ANONYMUS!)
it's a shame that you have to be
in contact with a dude in paragon
to be allowed to write anything
in it! (e.d. i'll contact you
sham!!)
the ILLEGAL TIPS on which the
whole mag is based are cool but
a little bit too less !
(e.d. i know that it's a hard job
to force other people to write sum
stuff, but that's life!!)
the funniest and best idea is the
chapter 'EUREKA' ! you, dear
reader,have to solve math-problems
the are SOLVEABLE but not all are
that easy! one QUESTION has to be
answered directly to the paragon
crew! at the end of the year you
will then get the title
'SMC MATH HACKER CHAMPION'
there is also a chapter where you
can find faster'n'cheaper ways to
get drunken!
the last chapter 'FUNNY STORIES'
is also a nice idea which is funny
and cool !
(e.d. keep on with this mag, it's
a cool idea and it's a different
VARIETY to edit a mag!!)

a little bug woz found: when the sprite

AMIGA WORKS FROM BONZAI!
it's a 2 part DIGI-demo which was coded
by WALT AND CLARNE OF BONZAI!
the graphix were done by DELIGHT DESIGN!
the intro offers you a non-sequenced 25
seconds long digi-muzak from low quality
(maybe it's a 2BIT digi??)
the loader is the first with DIGI i've
ever seen! there is only a logo on the
screen an no more action ! the zak is
cool but too short (always the same!)
the loader is much TOO SLOW!
the last part contains a really original
and cool idea! every WORD which has been
SUNG is printed on the screen in a very
LARGE charset ! the muzak sounds again
like 2BIT !
(e.d. the graphix are impressive but the
muzak ain't so good! to use 2bit digi(?)
is sure a nice idea to save memory but
the quality is too low !
anyway if you are owner of a demo-coll.
you shouldn't miss this 290 blocks of

VIDEOGAMESVIDEOGAMESVIDEOGAMESVIDEOGAMES
there are not only kids anymore sitting
in front of the screen playing asteroids
or space invaders. in japan and america
there is a gamemachine in every third
family! and this boom continues here in
europe. the new videogames are much
better than an amiga.
in 1988 nec presented its pc-engine.
one of the first game for this machine
was r-type. and it was an original-like
version much better than the amiga
version altough the pc-engine is an
8-bit-machine. but there are working
some special chips inside. there are
more than 100 games! and there exists
also a cd-rom: wonderboy iii for example
is nearly as well as the original.
in 1989 sega presented its mega drive
with a 68000er and 10-channel-stereo-
sound. the game super shinobi is even
better than the original. and the game
thunderforce iii was transposed on an
arcade. there exists an adapter for
sega-master-system, so you can choose
some of more than 100 games of the old
system and daily more for the megadrive
itselfs. for the megadrive you can buy
an excellent joyboard called arcade-
power-stick, which can be also used for
64ers and amigas.
the segamegadrive (in america called
genesis) and the pc-engine (in america
called turbografx) are much cheeper
than an amiga and there is a big market
for 2nd hand games, especially in
germany.
nintendo is going to present a new
machine maybe this year. its called
NINTENDO SUPER FAMICOM.
some technical data: 16 bit processing
unit/3d-chip/512x448 pixels/128 sprites
16-channel-pcm-digital-sound with sample
rate of 32 khz.
this time there are only about 10 games
which you can buy. but there are
excellent games like super mario world!
it offers about 63 levels. with a
battery you can avoid to start always
in level 1. in a few months should
be converted the megahypergigabombastic
R-TYPE II
actually, there are only a few consoles
on the market, because nintendo has not
presented its superfamicom yet. take
your chance -if you have one- and buy
this gigamachine.
PORTABLE-POWER: nintendo also produces
a portable console, called game-boy.
it offers a black/white screen but there
are many very good games, for example
tetris, nemesis and turrican. 4 game-
boys can be connected and with stereo-
headphones 4-channel-stereo-sound can be
enjoyed.
atari also offers a portable console
called atari lynx. it has a coulorscreen
but there aren't so many games as for
the game boy. on the other hand exquisit
games like klax appeals buying this
machine.
sega is in the market, too. with its
game gear. there games like wonderboy or
super monaco grand prix.it also offers
a coulor-screen and it can be used as
a tv-set. there are only a few games
right now.
the ultimative portable console comes
from nec:
PC-ENGINE GT
its compatible to the 'big' engine, so
you can choose between more than 100
games. the coulorscreen is excellent
and the screendisplay is marvellous.
like the gameboy it can be used as a
tv-set. it offer 6-channel-stereo-sound
and a compact design only a little bit
more uncomfortable as the gameboy.
but there is also a disadvantage:
the price: it is as high as the price
of the nintendosuperfamiom. and on the
contrary to the gameboy it needs a lot
of energy...
there are some other consoles:
the snk neo geo with 100% arcadetechnic.
but its too expensive, only a few not
really good games and only a few
of the consoles themselves exist.
the sega master system and
the nintendo entertainment system.
these systems got oldfashioned. the
games are under the niveau of the
usual computergames for the amiga.
the nec super grafx is a better version
of the pc-engine with better hardware-
possibilities. only a few games are on
the market which are produced especially
for this advanced system. so the buying
of the supergrafx is senseless.
interesting for you: the 64 exist
as a console. without keyboard and only
for using with special cartridges. the
hardware is the same as in the old one.
old atari or philips consoles should
be thrown away. they are garbage.

FANTASY STORY
THE FIRST CHAPTER
-----------------
malik ferdenko crouched in the black
shadow, watching the light towers
glittering like jewels before him on the
plain blow. according to the latest
asteroid almanac, the small asteroid was
supposed to be uninhabited. the lights,
and the space-suited men scurrying to
and fro between them, shouldn't have
been there. it should have neem a barren
bit of rock whirling dark and untouched
trough the void, not a beehive of
activity.
malik smiled to himself as he watched
the men rushing about him like fireflies
against the asteroid's dark surface.
such anomalies were malik's livelihood.
as an industrial spy, he'd spent most of
his life prowling the wild anarchy of
the asteroid belt, where almost anything
could be found if one only knew where
to look.
malik had been searching for his
particular operation for several months
now. he'd first heard rumors of an un-
registered research station back on
ceres, the largest asteroid in the belt,
and tracked its torturous trail to bar-
barosa, the free-wheeling asteroid
spaceport run by the rogues' guild. on
barbarosa, young bimwilly, the matre d'
at club noir, a posh restaurant
frequented by space pirates and other
unsavory sorts, overheard a conspi-
ratorial-looking trio making plans to
outfit and supply a bare rock located on
the outskirts of the belt. bimwilly,
malik's eyes and ears at the restaurant
had passed on the information and here
malik was.
malik knew very well that of such
whispers and rumors great fortunes were
made. he'd made and spent half a dozen
of them himself in the past.
below him, the last of the space-suited
figures disappeared through a hatch
leading into the asteroid's interior.
the rock was probably cored, malik
thought with living quarters, labs,
and whatever other chambers the unknown
propriertors of this asteroid required.
activate log, he ordered, turning on the
automatic sensor mike linking him and
his private onman cruiser the lucky lady
the ship waited for him out of sight,
beyond the asteroid's horizon.
'acknowledged' flashed on the faceplate
screen of his space suit's helmet.
'camera check' he replied, activating
the camera in the forefinger of his
space suit's right glove. he pointed it
at the installation snuggled down in the
small bowllike plain before him, and
slowly swept his finger back and forth,
recording a complete pnaoramic view.
'receiving' the ship's computer replied
in the sexy conotrolato he'd programmed
for it.
'all right',malik said.'nothing ventured
nothing gained.'
he cautiouslosy slipped out of conceal-
ent, using his space belt's thruster to
keep him near the asteroid surface. he
picked his way through the rough edged
rock formations, down to the smooth
plain below.
'sensor check', he ordered.'sweep for
security systems.'
he waited on the plain's edge for the
ship's computer to scan the area through
the sensors in his suit. 'negative' it
said after a moment. 'no security.' he
frowned. 'i hope this doesn't mean there
is nothing worth stealing.'
he polarized his helmet's visor nearly
to black as he approached the brightly
lighted field, but the light was so
harsh that he could barely see through
the terrible glare. he risked a quick
glance toward one of the light towers,
then turned away quickly, his eyes smart
ing and tears running down his cheeks.
'the lights are as bright as little suns
temperature check,' he ordered. then he
glanced at the digital readout as it
came up on the margin of his viewscreen
the temperature outside his suit was 4
hundred degrees and increasing.
'maximum reflection' he ordered.
the smart suit that he wore adjusted
its reflective quality to the utmost,
but the surface temperature continued to
rise. malik began to feel a little warm.
'guess i'll have to work fast' he said.
he held his right forefinger straight up
perpendicular to the asteroid's surface.
'zoom record' he said as he began pannin
over the area before him. he continued
the narration as he approached.
i'm entering the light field now.' said
malik. 'there seem to be things growing
in it. they look a little like flowers
with big, angular petals that have sharp
flat edges instead of curves. there are
three rows of the things, about ten in
each row-thirty altogether.'
he stopped before the first one, which
was almost as tallas he. it looked like
a flower, though up close it was obvious
that the things weren't plants. they
weren't even alive. they were hughe
crystals with a multitude of gleaming
facets grouped like flower petals. the
petals, though, were flat and hard and
looked as sharp as flakes of obsidian.
malik let his finger amera linger on one
recording every detail of its structure
and form.
'i've never seen anything like that' he
said.'it's dead black.' he reached out
to tough it, then drew his hand back,
thinking better of it. crystals were
common components in the system, but
these were unusual.'almost as if it's
supposed to absorb the light pouring
down on it from all those highpowered
floodlights.'
he moved deeper into the crystalline
garden, wondering what in the universe
these fabulous creations could be and
what they could be used for. they were
certainly beautiful enough to be con-
sidered works of art, but no one built a
secret base to guard artwork. his gut
feeling-and he learned a long time ago
to trust his gut feelings-told malik
that the crystals had a dangerous purpos
despite their fragile beauty. he
activated the finger camera and began a
tight scan,making as detailed a record
of the crystals as he could. though he'd
picked up bits and pieces of knowledge
in many diverse fields trough the years,
malik was no scientist. he did know a
lot of eggheads who were for hire,
though, and he wanted as much info about
these amazing crystals as possible for
future analysis. he finished his scan
and was debating the wisdom of breaking
off a chunk of one of the crystals to
have some concrete, physical evidence,
when the light towers flooding the
crystal field with their painfully
intense beams suddenly went off. malik
froze in the sudden darkness. 'suit to
black' he ordered immediately and his
space suit changed from reflective mode
to the avsolute blackness of his
surroundings.he thought for one terrible
moment that the station's mysterious
properties had deteted him. his mind
seesawed between freezing and running
but he decided to stay in place hoping
to remain undetected in the darkness.
after a moment, when no alarms sounded
and no one came after him, malik began
to relax, at the crystals and noticed
that some of them were changing. they
had begun to glow soft, vibrant colors.
light dripped like dew from their hard
edged petals, in all the colors of the
spectrum and all shades in between.
'temperature check' he said aming the
finger with the proper sensor at the
nearest crystal.it's temperature was
rising, slowly but detecable, as it
apparently released the light it had
stored within its crystalline structure.
malik had read about thermoluminscent
crystals before, but nothing with proper
ties to this extreme. these crystals
were fantastic discovery with
innumberable technological applications.
his introspection was suddenly interrupt
ed by a strong, continuos vibration that
malik felt running up from the ground
through the soles of his feet.
the vacuum around the asteroid prevented
malik from hearing anything but the
heavy vibratons indicated that something
big was approaching, fast. he turned
around and let out a series of
expletives in classic russion when he
saw what was raing toward him from
behind. it was a dark, low slung skimmer
of some sort with armor plating and
large nasty looking gun turret swiveling
around to get him in its sights.
obviously, the crystal field's seurity
system was so sophisticated that malik's
sensors hadn't detected it. he had under
estimated his opponent, and in his busi-
ness that could be a fatal mistake.
malik knew that he was a sitting target.
he wasen't going to wait around to see
if the skimmer's operator was the kind
who shot first and asked questions later
he made his way carefully around one of
the crystals, putting it between himself
and the skimmer, and headed as fast as
his thrusters could take him for the
jumble of rocks and crags on the crystal
field's edge. 'unfriendlies on my tail'
he told the lucky lady.'all systems on.
weapons ready. come and get me.'malik
actually had something of the advantage
in a race against the skimmer. the
device that followed him apparently was
designed for defense, not pursuit. it
remaind mere inches from the asteroid's
surface and had to maneuver around the
crystalline formations that stood bet-
ween it and malik. careful to keep his
strides long and smooth, malik glided
over the asteroid's surface. in fact,
he could hardly push off the surface at
all. if he didn't head shoot up into
space where he'd flap like one of the
martian ducks he was so fond of shooting
on the wing. the armored and modified
skimmer rumbled after him but held it's
fire. he couldn't risk glancing away
from the uneven ground to see if it was
gaining n him, but he ordered his visor
to get to mirror on its upper left
quadrant and he glanced up into it.
malik grinned. in the reflection he saw
that he was losing the skimmer. he also
was about to leave the open field and
step into the jumbled cragginess of the
natural asteroid surface. once in cover
he could hide until his ship showed up
and blasted the skimmer into nuts and
bolts. malik's grin widened as he risked
a glance back at the skimmer. it's
driver had miscalculated a tight turn as
he tried to maneuver around the pedestal
of one of the crystal flowers. the
skimmer clipped the pedestal with the
front of its right wing. the crystal
teetered in near-zero-gravity. propelled
by the wing's forceful blow its enormous
top rotated slowly and crashed onto the
skimmer. it shattered, sending sharp
shards billowing out in a scintillating
cloud that clogged the skimmers intake
valves. the engines vibrations increased
and the skimmer shuddered on the
asteroid's surface until the driver
killed the engine. malik laughed aloud
as he ducked into the jumble of
boulders outside the light field.
'almost home now' he said aloud.
true, he had no idea what the mystrious
crystals were, but atleast he knew they
existed. more importantly, he was
escaping with his hide intat. with a
little more judiious digging, he would
be able to find out who had built this
secret base and why, and how he could
profit from it.
impatient for his ship to arrive he
looked to the horizon.malik then glanced
at the readout line running on the base
of his faceplate. less then a mile away.
there it was! the lucky lady swept over
the horizon and into view like a gleamin
silver bird of prey. it was a small
craft but it was malik's own and ton for
ton was a deadly bit of work as anyone
would find in space. in times such as
this it was often all that stood between
malik and quick death so he'd spared no
expense in making his ship fast, deadly
and luxurious.'come to papa.'he said.
'ready for boarding' the lady's compie
replied in its sultry contralto. the
brain running the ship may have been
digital personality, but it's voice
was that of a tri-dee movie goddess,
full of sweet promise. malik had to
scramble over about a quarter-mile of
rough ground.'be there in half a min.'
he told his ship.'prepare for departure
and pour me a good long drink.'
'as you wish-' the lady began, but its
final word turned into a wail of static,
surprise, and pain. from nowhere a beam
of intense energy burned through the
black sky, clipping the lucky lady in
the bow. metal sublimated directly to
gas as the center of the impact. at the
edges it ran like water, splattering
like molten rain onto the asteroid's
surface, where it cooled immediately
into puddles of metallic tears. the lady
careened off into space its computer
brain vaporized its controls locked on
to whatever final orders the brain had
put in the circuits before its demise.
malik whirled has face frozen between
fear and rage as he turned to see what
had killed his ship. the thing over
behind him, behind the disabled skimmer
much smaller than the lady, but mounted
on its prow was a strange device the
likes of which malik had never seen be-
fore. there was a metallic dish whose
inner surface was coated with highly
reflective substance that shone so
brightly it hurt malik's eyes.in front
of the dish at what could have been its
focal point, was one of the crystalline
flowers. the dish and the flower pointed
right at malik. he would have run, but
heknew that there was nowhere to go. in
last, futile gesure, he held up his
right hand and pointed his suit's middle
finger at the vessel. the laser in the
finger pulsed through the darkness. the
tiny beam struck the skimmer but
splattered harmlessly against its armord
sides, as malik had known it would. he
hoped the camera in his other finger had
picked up the image and send it to his
lost ship, but he had no way of knowing
he thought how beautiful the crystal
looked then there was a pulse of light
so bright that it burned his eyes out
and malik ferdenko was nothing more than
vapor slowly dissipating in the cosmic
breeze.
