Summary: "Always a Qurono" by Jim Harmon is a science fiction tale originally published in the early 1960s, specifically within the pages of Galaxy Magazine. The story follows Captain T. P. Barnhart, who finds himself marooned on a strange planet inhabited by android-like beings known as the Qurono. The narrative delves into themes of authority, routine, and existential reflection against a backdrop of interstellar adventure. The plot centers on Barnhart's experiences after being left behind by his mutinous crew. As he strives to adapt to his peculiar circumstances, he observes the Qurono, who adhere to a strict daily routine and perform a ritual called geoplancting. With time, Barnhart's attempts to assert dominance over the Qurono lead to unintended consequences, culminating in a reversal of roles where he ultimately becomes a subject of their rituals. The story concludes with Barnhart being rescued by his crew, but he remains steeped in the routines instilled by the Qurono, indicating the lasting impact of his experiences on the alien planet. Through this narrative, Harmon explores the complexities of power dynamics and the influence of surroundings on individual behavior. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
