Der Bärtige starrte auf den zerbrochenen Verstärker. Langsam, unmerklich fast, veränderte sich sein Ausdruck. Dann lachte er leise. Obwohl er dieses menschliche Gehirn für seine Zwecke modifiziert hatte, nachdem er es und den es beherbergenden Körper übernommen hatte, im Grunde blieb es, was es immer gewesen war.
