Private Notes
The World Commander, Richard Julian, is returning to Chichen-Itza, the base of the World Federation, in his plane, the Falcon One. Suddenly, one of the engines explodes. The pilot decides to take the Commander away in the evacuation glider. After sending out an SOS, Richard Julian lands in the Forbidden Zone where he is rescued by a mysterious stranger just as Thanors, Thanatos' henchmen, are about to shoot him down. Richard Julian does not know the name of his savior, but this one having recognized the Commander calls the help and disappears. Back in Chichen-Itza, the Commander Richard Julian orders Jack Mitchell, the Rear-Admiral in charge of his security, to find the unknown person who saved his life in the Forbidden Zone... It is a certain Chris Colorado...
After saving the Commander's daughter from being kidnapped by Thanors, Chris Colorado, wearing a holographic suit that makes him unrecognizable, manages to enter the protected city of Chichen-Itza. He breaks into the Defense Pentagon and searches for the files of the passengers who were aboard the Falcon One during the attack... Two files seem particularly suspicious, that of Rebecca Woong, with a strange past, and that of the plane's co-pilot, Burt Jourdan...
Chichen-Itza no longer responds! Thanatos and his Thanors have installed a gigantic magnetic apode jamming all communications from the Protected City to the outside world. Chris Colorado, after an aerial battle with Thanatos' henchmen, manages to get into Chichen-Itza. He meets the commander Richard Julian who asks him to go to the Forbidden Zone and destroy the Thanatos antenna...
A mysterious Thanor leaves the Forbidden Zone after stealing a Scorpios 6, one of Thanatos' attack helicopters. He travels to the bottom of the Grand Canyon and lays a bracelet that belonged to Chris Colorado as a child in front of him... Chris wakes up and tries with Chippowok to catch this Thanor who manages to escape. Sam Colorado refuses to answer his grandson, so Chris decides to go to Athabascan, the chief of the nearby Hopi village, and ask him the truth about his childhood... The magical Kachinas will answer him in front of the fire...
Somewhere in the North Pole, in the middle of a snowstorm, Thanors, rappelling from their Scorpios 6, storm a World Federation military base... Meanwhile, the commander Richard Julian leaves the entrenched camp of Chichen-Itza to embark on the Liberty, a submarine, which must lead him to this famous polar base.... Fortunately, a mechanic, who is not without reminding the silhouette of Chris Colorado, watches in the holds...
Alert at Chichen-Itza, all the Liberty Centurions on leave are urgently recalled by Rear Admiral Jack Mitchell. Jennifer Julian, the Commander's daughter, has disappeared and cannot be found.

Is Jennifer on board with Chris?
The Rear Admiral Jack Mitchell does not disarm against Chris Colorado. Convinced that he knows the secrets of the World Federation Commander, and taking advantage of the latter's absence in Chichen-Itza, he has Chris arrested.

Jack Mitchell, ruthless, wants to know all the shadows of his past... Only a miracle can save Chris Colorado from the Z-B-13 contained in the Glass Cube.
Commander Richard Julian secretly pays a very strange visit to old Sam Colorado in the Grand Canyon. Chris reaches the Commander in crypto-transmission to ask him for a few days of rest at the Grand Canyon.

For Chris Colorado, the return trip, which was supposed to be a walk, turns into a nightmare, while the old Sam, decidedly intimate with Richard Julian, informs him of his mysterious research...

The victory of Thanatos seems complete. He enters Chichen-Itza in triumph, deserted of its inhabitants. However, at the Castillo, Thanatos discovers with rage that his Cyber-Android having won the elections against Richard Julian has disappeared.

Chris Colorado learns that Jack Mitchell, still imprisoned with Doctor Storm in Chichen-Itza, is going to be transferred to Palenque, the other base of the World Federation.
