This aircraft of the New Haralik is very similar to the Transall (C160 in the USA), just smaller, able to carry light vehicles. In the beginning, it had been designed for mirlitary purposes. But quickly, the matter was more to establish positions for humanitarian action, science observatories, ecology or biodiversity, on summarily prepared terrains. Some version even had a life support. Then this aircraft, inexpensive, versatile and sturdy, became very popular for more classical travels, for instance in the numerous archipelago or in mountainous regions, allowing for a lot of luggage or first necessities. More than 1200 years after its design, it was still built, with of course improvements.

The construction of the Vion in secret (Project V, the «tears») was a challenge of cunning and discipline, in addition to pushing very far the technological limits of the Likpa industry. The end of the war and the construction of several other Vions even revealed that many parts and tools had been subcontracted to phallo companies, who ignored what they were taking part in.

The building and the tests of the Vion in the East Base in Jamalika are at the origin of all these strange noises and forbidding to go out, that Likpato had observed in the story of the Little Men.

 

 

 

 

 

 

This is how the Likpas managed to save the Mother, after a bold and complex operation, planned for years into the least detail, but which was possible only thanks to the extrasensorial perception abilities of the Reds.

 

Several thousands of people were involved in the V project, and built parts of the Vion. But most of them were completely ignorant of the purpose of their work, as could see Likpato with the «tears», which were sections of wings. Only some tens knew, confined in the East Base. But the most incredible was the masterly plan of the ULO to arrest anybody who was suspecting something, in order to allow them in reality to work for the common benefit, as they wanted. That so many people could accept such a strict discipline, with so few refusals, was possible only with the Likpas and Boobettes, from their outstanding psychological qualities such as their non-egocentric concern of the common good, our their love of activity.

 

 

 

In some hours now, the MOTHER will be safe into a deep underground facility in Jamalika, sheltered even against a nuclear bomb. Then She will be ready to share all Her secrets with the Likpas and the Boobettes. Is this the end of these stories? Not at all, it is only the beginning! As into the SECOND CYCLE we shall discover the World of Haralik, and especially the astounding interstellar odyssey of the MOTHER, and the moving account of Her attempts to inseminate Likearth with life.

 

And the problem of climate change is not solved, by far. Fishes are needed, and other life forms, that the Likpas would be able to create at last, thanks to the genetic data of the FATHER, and to the MFA Project: Atomic Force Microscope, only able to translate these coded data into living cells. The MOTHER, with the help of Her ovum synthesisers, will allow saving thirty years of arduous development. But this will be still not enough, they will alas also need the terrifying U project, prepared by the High Factory and the Low Factory...

 

At last the Likpas will have to explore Likearth, and especially to know who are those «others» roaming around their islands into gigantic steamships...

 

But the most fascinating will probably be the story of the Haralik Crystal!
