Summary "Remember me, Kama!" by Walter Kubilius is a science fiction narrative written during the early 1940s. The story unfolds on the distant planet Kama, which is facing the catastrophic consequences of human interference. It explores themes of morality, friendship across species, and the impacts of greed and colonialism, as the protagonist, Cobber, struggles with the devastating effects of trade agreements gone awry. The storyline centers around Cobber, an old and weary captain, who grapples with the moral implications of his ship's dealings with the Kamae, the inhabitants of Kama. As the planet descends into chaos due to inter-tribal warfare driven by the greed of his ship's owner, Wilson, Cobber is forced to confront the destructive nature of human actions. Ultimately, Cobber chooses to sacrifice himself by destroying his ship in a final act of defiance, hoping to prevent further exploitation of the Kamae. His last thoughts convey a poignant message of friendship and a hope for better futures, highlighting his deep connection with the Kamae and the heavy cost of humanity's insatiable desires.
