The taxi stopped in front of the building. Jarmo Dorak got out. So that was it … the new place. Although he had never been here before, Jarmo found this place incredibly familiar. He went in …
Palavras. Sempre apenas palavras. Palavras que passaram por sua cabeça. Beatriz del Almeida deitou-se no divã e pensou, como tantas vezes acontecia nos últimos anos. O quarto em que ela estava era escassamente mobiliado. Deve ser também, porque nada deve impedir as pessoas que aqui viveram de refletirem sobre si mesmas. Mas não foi que Beatrice foi forçada a ficar aqui. Não, ela estava aqui voluntariamente.
Ela queria escapar da montanha-russa de emoções a que havia sido exposta há algum tempo. Quando ficou particularmente ruim? Ela não sabia mais exatamente. Primeiro Jarmo Dorak desapareceu em busca do Templo da Harpa do Vento, depois houve uma intriga política em seu país e finalmente a pandemia. Embora … seu supervisor já a tivesse dispensado ao ver que ela não estava bem. A pandemia só piorou as coisas.
Agora ela estava deitada aqui na espreguiçadeira do quarto do mosteiro para o qual ela havia se retirado e estava pensando. Ela tentou associações de palavras. Poucos dias antes, ela recebeu a notícia de que Jarmo Dorak havia reaparecido. Isso agora era … seis? Seis anos desde que ele desapareceu? Foram seis anos? O relato do retorno de Jarmo foi muito breve, compreensivelmente. Afinal, ela ainda estava de licença e o relatório completo não se destinava a estranhos. Na verdade, ela não deveria ter ouvido falar do retorno de Jarmo. Mas um amigo disse isso a ela de qualquer maneira.
Então Jarmo havia encontrado o templo, afinal. E com ele o cubo negro do conhecimento.
Cubos.
Apenas mais uma palavra. Beatrice olhou para o teto. Estava quente na sala, embora a janela estivesse aberta e uma leve brisa entrasse. Solstício de verão no Brasil. Por estar tão quente, ela só usava camiseta e shorts. Suas pernas estavam esticadas, os dedos dos pés brincando com a ponta da cama. Ela sentiu a madeira fria na pele dos dedos dos pés. Ao mesmo tempo, ela percebeu que sua testa estava suando. Ela virou a cabeça e olhou para a janela. Ela podia ver o céu sem nuvens pela abertura redonda. Ela deveria ir à praia. Ir nadar. Mas não era mais tão fácil. Tudo mudou.
A janela redonda tinha uma borda de madeira. A parede foi pintada em torno dele. Com o céu azul, parecia uma moeda brilhante.
Moedas.
Outra palavra. Mas por alguma razão que ela não conseguia entender a si mesma, de repente ela se lembrou de uma música.
“Olhando para o céu eu sou capaz de ver / Tropeçando e levantando sempre com você …”
Ela se sentou. Então ela deixou suas pernas penderem para fora da cama. Ela sentiu o chão de pedra fria sob seus pés. Sim, se você caiu, não teve escolha a não ser se levantar novamente. E ela faria isso agora. Por que não antes? Ela estava aqui há mais de dois anos. Talvez ela precisasse de tempo. Não, ela deve ter tido tempo. Ela precisava encontrar novos pensamentos. Mas por que agora? Ela não sabia. E não importava. Ela iria lá agora. Para o corredor.
Corredor.
Outra palavra. Mas essa palavra tinha um significado especial. O caminho para uma nova fase da vida. Depois de todo esse tempo. Pelo corredor e depois pelo portão.
Portão.
Sim. A porta de entrada para a nova fase da vida. Ela foi até o espelho e olhou dentro. Ela sorriu porque viu determinação em seu próprio reflexo. Agora é tudo, Beatrice! ela disse para si mesma.
Mas o que ela faria primeiro depois de sair para o portão? Ela estava novamente ciente do calor que estava lá fora. Na época em que ela e Jarmo tinham essas aventuras, eles nadavam muito. Ela faria isso agora. Mas não perto do mar. Não na praia. Ela sabia que havia um pequeno rio próximo. Dificilmente haveria pessoas lá. E ela poderia desfrutar da água. É exatamente assim que ela faria! Todo o resto iria aparecer depois. Agora, a primeira coisa que ela queria fazer era sentir a água fria em sua pele.
Água.
Beatriz del Almeida desfruta de um mergulho na piscina.
What was it all about? Jarmo Dorak paced up and down his room again. They had been very kind. They had gradually given him access to the Internet and other information. But not more. He still couldn’t get in touch with the outside world. Yes, he no longer had a family, but there were sure to be friends who were worried about him. He had found it was six years since he disappeared. He had to catch up these six years first. And he couldn’t believe what had happened on earth. One of the biggest countries on the planet on the brink of a civil war that was forced by fanatical gun enthusiasts. The climate change. The pandemic. And it was precisely this moment that the curator had chosen to let Jarmo fall back into this reality from the “between space”.
The people at ASTROCOHORS had said they would need to consult. Then they would make a decision. Oh yes, he had completely forgotten that with the other catastrophes: The blockade of the solar system by an unknown force that called itself the HIGH HAND. The solar system was thus cut off from the rest of the galaxy. And as before, the earth was on its own. With all these crazy people … Jarmo’s mind whirled back and forth again. They wanted to make a decision. But about what? Okay about him. But what exactly should this decision concern? Would you finally let him go? Or should he stay here in the ATLANTIS base, locked up in this room? Just what he’s the last … He counted in his mind. August September October November December. Five months! It’s been five months. He had tried to distract himself like they had said. He had done research about six missed years and penned a few reports, just as he had done in the “between space.” “Computer!” He called into the room. The ATLANTIS base computer was specially configured for him. He couldn’t address the system directly. Everything he asked for was checked beforehand by a monitor program. That’s why he couldn’t address artificial intelligence by its real name – ARNOLD. The computer beeped in response. “Play me a song,” ordered Dorak. “The Song of the Language of Shakespeare …” The computer beeped again and shortly afterwards a strange song could be heard, parts of which Jarmo sang softly along.
“Hello, you bloody anglophonians, from London to L.A…. Among you are very few who speak a foreign language, but we do… The language of Shakespeare you can smoke in the pipe…”
He sat down again. Wasn’t it New Year’s Eve today? Would they at least wish him a happy new year? As far as he understood, the fireworks were off this year anyway. But then he heard a noise. Was there someone coming?
Jarmo Dorak has reported on Tintin’s Adventures story by story. Here are all the comic books compiled in one big report, from “Tintin in the Land of the Soviets” up to “Tintin and Alph-Art”.

Even in dark times there can be light… the artist Erich Ohser, known under his pen name E.O. Plauen lived in the darkest times but was still able to bring a bit of light.

So Jarmo Dorak takes a closer look at some of Ohser’s work.

In this episode Jarmo Dorak has returned from his six year exile in the “Between Space” and goes back to the roots of comics itself: the German painter, writer and poet Wilhelm Busch.
Jarmo Dorak’s mission seems to be over. But what now? He is waiting for something to happen… waiting for being send back… But sometimes the end ist just a new beginning…
It seems that everyone lives in a VOID during these times. But here are messages from a special VOID. Hear my voice and learn that a missing person will be returning soon. And this is what he’s seen since he disappeared six years ago:
You are probably wondering who I am. I’m the curator, I’m taking care. The Age of Resilience is coming. That is why ASTROCOHORS CLUB will enter a new phase. The returner will play a major role in this. Expects his arrival tomorrow …
Hulk Hogan and Grace Jones starred in a horrible, horrible treasure movie and somehow nobody has heard of it. Probably because it didn’t have a finished script and nobody understood how comedy works. Adventure awaits! Allison is joined by Phelous and Film Brain to dissect this film.
Es ist der Tag, den man in Deutschland aus irgendeinem Grund den “Tag der Arbeit nennt”. Es war jener Tag, da die Instrumente von ASTROCOHORS HEXAPHYRON erneut eine Schwingung aufzeichneten, das keiner der Wissenschaftler irgendetwas zuordnen konnte. Sie ahnten nicht, dass schon acht Jahre zuvor Ju auf der Erde erschienen war.
ARNOLD, der Computer der Basis ATLANTIS, bemühte sich, die Schwingungen zu dekodieren, die sich als starkes Signal entpuppten, das etwas tat, dass man für unmöglich gehalten hatte: Raum und Zeit zu verbiegen. Daraus ergab sich eine Hypothese: stand der Ju in Verbindung mit dem geheimnisvollen Plothole, das noch ein Jahr vor dem Erscheinen des Ju eine große Katastrophe heraufbeschwor.
Die Botschaften, die ARNOLD entzifferte, lieferte da kaum Antworten…
