#9 Rocky Jones, Space Ranger - Rocky's Odyssey: Chapter II

Rocky and his crew have been incommunicado with Secretary Drake for so long that he has given up hope of hearing from them again. He makes a sad announcement to the rest of the ranger corps. On Posita, Rocky has given up hope of fixing the Orbit Jet without help from Bavaro. He sends Vena to plead with Cotanda for his help. Bavaro is not about to acquiesce. While on board the ship, a Negato airplane traverses the atmospheric stream broadcasting mind-numbing music. Cotanda explains that this is what Negato uses as warfare tactics. She says that the planet was unified a thousand years ago, but gaining control of lightning caused the planet to split into the two moons. Negato has enslaved Posita for year with its music, but Bavaro has gradually built up strength to oppose them. Rocky promises Bavaro that he will seek a peace accord with Negato if Bavaro allows him to fly to the other moon. Bavaro is doubtful but agrees. On Negato, the Orbit Jet crew use their space helmets to block the sound much as Ulysses used cotton earplugs to fight off the Sirens. Rocky is able to negotiate with its ruler, Torvak, a offer to try for peace. With him aboard, they head back toward Posita. Meanwhile, Cleolanta has learned of Rocky's disappearance and is poised to use recorded transmissions of his voice to serve her dictatorial plans.
