All the Lemurian solar transmitters are under the control of the Galacticum. The Akones have been used as switching masters for them. This people, uprooted since the destruction of their home planet Drorah, have since settled mainly on the adjustment worlds of the transmitters. This includes on Suaraan, the control world of the Vengil Trio. The expansion of the settlement was strongly promoted in 1517 NGE, as was the connection of the Vengil Trio to the solar transmitter network. However, no connection to other systems has yet been established.

 

In mid-February 1517 NGE, the leading transmitter technician Vertron Es-Solmaan explored the 442nd floor of a control pyramid on Suaraan. There he discovers the life-size, all-metal statue of a man, which according to an inscription is probably Zeno Kortin IV. The man is wearing a hat with a fine veil on it. Vertron Es-Solmaan feels watched by the statue's eyes shining in the 5D spectrum. Time seems to be slowing down as he tries in vain to lift the veil. The Akone is intrigued and returns to the statue later. He finds that it absorbs hyper energy. Then a space alarm rings out.

 

An explosion inside a nearby hyperstorm has been located. A 66-meter Jülziish dinghy approaches the system, does not respond to paging and is gripped by tractor beams, but explodes. Examination of the debris shows that the Blues crew must have died days or weeks ago. Pocor Ragnaar, the Governing Councilor of the adjustment world, has a suspicion that will soon be confirmed. With the support of the Toloceste On the Timeline and the Onryone Guldhyn Yoccorod there is a large Tefrodic fleet in the process of crossing the hyperstorm in order to be able to approach the solar transmitter unnoticed. Lan Meota was on board the Blues dinghy. He teleported himself to Suaraan with the two special agents Ghenis Tay and Bunccer-Buhaam. He felt watched during this process. For the first time in his life, the teleportation took longer than the usual two minutes and nine seconds. The agents prepare the ground for conquering the adjustment world by releasing a hallucinogen in the control pyramid.

 

Kajane Paxo, the Tefrod expedition leader, personally leads the invasion. The Akones have secured the Central Control Room with a Paratron screen, but Lan Meota eventually finds a gap. Again he notices the presence of a stranger during the teleportation. He does not know that it is the statue. Pocor Ragnaar and Vertron E Solmaan get paralyzed by the agent. Thus, the solar transmitter is conquered for the New Tamanium on February 19th. Vertron Es-Solmaan becomes a collaborator to further examine the statue.
