Space Rangers from Left to Right:

- Nic (short for Nicodemus) is a highly evolved rat with cybernetic implants for eyes because he was born blind. From a world called Thorn V.

- Buzz Lightyear needs no introduction.

- E.R.I.C. is a utility robot programed to help maintain starships. This one takes care of Buzz's rocket, 42.

- Izzy Hawthorne (info redacted)

- Clover comes from a world called Watership. She is an empath and can sense emotions / feelings in others.

(I borrowed some characters from famous literature. Nic is slightly based off the rat leader Nicodemus from 'Mrs. Frisby and Rats of NIMH' book, while Clover is based (in name only) off of a character from the book 'Watership Down')

... schreibt er gerne, wie auch viele Titel seiner Bücher verraten. Seine vielleicht letzte Geschichte erzählt er in seinem soeben erschienen Werk Abschied(e).

Die Rede ist von Julian Barnes, der heute, am 19. Januar 2026, 80 Jahre alt wird.

Er bezeichnet sein Buch Abschied(e) als sein letztes Werk, weil er Krebs hat und das Buch thematisch einen Schlusspunkt unter sein Lebenswerk setzt.

Julian Barnes zählt zu den vielseitigsten zeitgenössischen englischen Schriftstellern. Sein Stil kann ironisch und von einem „respektlosen Humor“ geprägt sein, aber auch melancholisch und zutiefst empathisch. Er schreibt kenntnisreich über die Liebe und das Altern (Die einzige Geschichte, Der Zitronentisch); aber auch über Kunstgeschichte (Kunst sehen) oder die Sterblichkeit (Nichts, was man fürchten müsste).

Ich hoffe, dass Abschied(e) vielleicht doch noch nicht sein letztes Buch sein wird.

Die Bücher wurden fotografiert mit dem Isconar 1:4/135 an der K30.

Meanwhile, back at the Clock team room in the Queen's Castle...

Mari: The disturbance that woke you last night, my Queen, and even disturbed The Dreamer, has been pinpointed to the Cozy Cone Motel on Highway 35.*

Alice: And?

Mari: Well, the source is no longer there, but several bodies were found.

Alice: Oh, dear. And what are the bodies telling us?

Mari: Well, my Queen, I wasn't sure if you wanted to send someone. The Justice League is there. Specifically Zatanna and Raven.

Alice: That makes sense. Raven is their empath, is she not?

Snow White: Just so, my Queen.

Alice: Send Nanoha and Vita. ** There shouldn't be any problem with the Justice League sharing and cooperating. And The Dreamer?

Mari: In 4th REM, my Queen.

Alice: A blessing, that. It should settle back into 5th soon.

Bond: Another question, if I may.

Alice: Of course, Mr. Bond.

Bond: You had just mentioned you and the other two dream walkers. And now this talk. Are you saying this is all a dream?
