Hmmm. That would account for Typhon's sending off a colonization ship, wouldn't it? Perhaps he thought the death of the sun was imminent, and wanted to save a fragment of humanity from the cataclysm. But then why didn't he come along in physical form? Hmmm again. Perhaps Typhon thought he had a few thousand years, and the "Long Sun" ship was an experiment. If so, he must be quite peeved by the information his telemetry is giving him... Sgt. Rock ---
