TRUE SPEKTRUMISTAM "Read _KATEGORICHESKI_ NOT RECOMMENDED


                           PROLOGUE

                   Of living forms to napalm


   This story began about 2 months before DESIGNS HAOSA'999. At 
the appointed time was held an emergency meeting Eternity 
Industry, to discuss the possibility of renaming LIFEFORMS into 
something else. Reasons for this decision was few. First, LF 
conceived as a story deme (hell damn this fashion! "), for it 
forces Crazy was not even written the script. However, time was 
running out, and to develop a script, design and the idea of 
​​demos we just did not have enough time. The only what we are 
at that time were willing to venture - a progressive deme, 
built exclusively on the effects. Title LIFEFORMS for this 
project is not very fit. 

   At that time it was prepared to about 70% of effects and 
almost appended brutal soundtrack. For all these reasons, we 
decided that deme should be more aggressive name. After a brief

period in which all EI'shnikami offered the most depraved
names for the demos, Amiga prestrastiya Senat'a and SaiR00s'a 
won and led us to NAPALM'u. Began the process of creation. 

   Effects were written with uncanny speed: phong + tmap, lens 
flare, lens flare + gouraud, stretches, etc. Most of all 
effects were unreleased at the Speccy the first time. 

   Immediately after finding out the final name Paracels sat 
down schedule. By the time were willing to have 3 images. Was to

draw the same amount. One work, unfortunately, not DeMouy
entered. Soon the whole schedule has been prepared and the 
"express" and forwarded SaiR00s'u Senat'u. 

   At CC'999 we are too late. But salvation has appeared on the 
horizon (as we then thought) island called DI: HALT. Until he 
left to sail somewhere less than a month. NAPALM needed just 
riveted, which, as always, serves us SaiR00s, and exactly from 
this point on almost all of Eternity (except, perhaps, Senat'a) 
does not videla his way up to the very eve of the party.


   DI: HALT'99 was appointed on August 21-22. Evening of August 
20 in EI HQ went Pyrodex and said that today SaiR00s with 
Senat'om should bring DeMouy. It is worth noting that almost 3 
weeks we were in an information vacuum, without knowing 
absolutely nothing the fate of our demos. Therefore brought 
Pyrodex'om news cheered us all immensely. Somewhere at 20:00 
come to pass what all have been waiting for - NAPALM was at the 
headquarters. In an extremely pompous atmosphere premiere 
NAPALM'a. All anything, but my only observed one annoying 
glitch - at the very first load the music slowed down steadily. 
Have begun to take all measures to address this shortcoming. 
After some time appeared Spy. At nine o'clock in the EI HQ 
gathered 6 people. This were: D-Man, Paracels, Spy, Pyrodex, 
Senat 'SaiR00s. Held secondary premiere exclusively for Spy'ya 
who approached. Glitch with retarding the music was still 
alive. During his address the main loader rewritten dozens of 
times. It was during that hot period debaginga we encountered 
glitches _ABSOLYUTNO NEPONYATNYM_ Neto TR-DOS'a, Neto BASIC'a. 
He gave us a lot of nerves frayed, but result was still 
defeated, although we do not understand how. :) But main 
objective was achieved - stprotsentnoe inhibition was replaced 
by tridtsatiprotsentnym (and as it turned out - had disappeared 
altogether). 

   When all was ready, the hands of digital clocks: 8) crossed 
over 22:00. Then reappeared Crazy. The third premiere NAPALM'a, 
from which all was getting sick, not long wait. Unable to 
withstand this SaiR00s, Senat 'Pyrodex hurried away, hoping to 
get some sleep before heading to the party. Crazy, okinuv 
NAPALM sober view and expressing his expert opinion, and did 
not stay long, though, and left headquarters to the most recent.


   Had to do just a little - to translate the accompanying
text to NAPALM'u from Russian into English. Is to say that
this text was by no means small and simple, but large and with 
lots of literary artifice, which it welled Paracels. 90% 
titanic work on the translation of this manuscript for a couple 
of hours before leaving on his shoulders heaved our permanent 
translator Spy. I must say that it had turned out wonderfully, 
as always, although judge you, dear readers.


   Spy stayed at home D-Man'a and Paracels'a, because go 
(trolley buses at that time already (or still) does not go) in 
the dead of night with, practically, the very outskirts of the 
city (namely, there lives a Spy) on Station - employment 
unpleasant, if not dangerous: you never know maniacs at night 
not sleeping? 

   About how much time sleeping SaiR00s, Senat, and Pyrodex, 
history is silent, but the Spy, D-Man and Paracels managed to 
make this is for 1.5 hours. Special relief sleep though not 
brought in, but the illusion of leisure created. 


                         Path in the Night


   2.00. The black shroud envelops the window and catching up 
depressed. Moonlight helplessly sinking in the dark, even for a 
moment how snatching a clear outline of hunched trees. A cold 
wind boundless sway in the night, drifting from somewhere far 
away a lonely howl of stray animals. 

   A dark mass of a high house blowin 'up and dissolved in
gloomy skies. Everything in this huge vault is dead ... 
Darkness suddenly challenged - in a small window of the third 
floor lights go dim thick curtains. Servants of Darkness 
pripadaet to sparkling gold glass and see the following 
picture. 

   Three men - servants of Eternity - peacefully absorb
food and drink tea. They did not touch the fear that had created
Night. Now all their thoughts turned to the remote dusty town,
where they will soon have to go. They will make this journey 
are not alone. More chevtero Servers share with them the danger 
of this campaign ... 

   Servants of the Dark was surprised to observe how these 
three have been clothed in strange clothes, and disappear 
behind the door, leaving behind the darkness. Living light in 
the window dies, and night again becomes sovereign mistress. 
Three pairs of legs, meanwhile, quietly down the stone steps 
down to meet his future. They plowing the last door and enter 
into the arms of Night. They do not fearful of it, for they 
have seven, and they - INDUSTRY OF ETERNITY. 

   Seven vague shadows were paralyzed by Dark City does not
afraid to break the deathly silence their loud cries. They
go back where you can optpravitsya in your journey and fulfill 
their intended mission. After a few tens of minutes They 
achieved their goal. 


                   PART I. .. and the last!

     Russian railways and oRGANIZMatoram dI: hALT'99

                          Dedicated


                                    - Where is the girl with 
the tea? " 


   Before telling you directly about our trip,
telling about who was traveling on the dI: hALT Kovrova of that 
fateful night.


   So far as we know, the delegation of the city consisted of 
the following persons: 


   √ Eternity Industry: D-Man, Paracels, Spy, Senat, SaiR00s,

                        Pyrodex, DarkLion;

   √ Proxima Centauri: Vel, Sergius Puzzler, Erena Kline, Uncle

                       Sam;

   √ Demiurge Ash;

   √ Melted Snow (left to dI: hALT another 2 days in advance).


   Our meeting took place at the station, where while waiting 
for commemorative photograph was taken, the fate of which we, 
unfortunately, is not known. 


   Further, when we sat down on a long-awaited train and went 
to the same in Dzerzhinsk, everything was so terrible that the 
recollection of that time causes physical suffering. Death in 
the gas chamber was then to us preferable to the torment of a 
corked car. Moment when the train comes to the point of his 
appointment, has become for us the main goal in life - for his 
sake we lived. 

   It is worth mentioning that no girl with the tea from the 
annoying advertisement "Russian Railways" we have not seen. A 
pity. Look at the mafia-type conductor was not the most pleasant

entertainment for our e-oh-oh-olguyu trip.


   Well, he came the crucial moment of our landing
land Dzerzhinska ...

   We escaped from the train, we were free. Our minds are 
clouded in this wretched prison. Impregnated with chemicals 
Dzerzhinsky the air has become for us a breath of "sprites" in 
the desert. Under gloomy skies hovering we went through several 
paths down to the subway - the only road leading to the station 
- and were inside a small building filled with people. 

   Even before our trip so we informed the organizers of the 
party about the time of our arrival and got a response that We 
promised to put the station welcoming, that we may without too 
much trouble to get to the dI: hALT'a. Worth I say that there 
was no welcoming not only to station, but also at the venue of 
the party? .. In addition to all of this venue dI: hALT'a was 
the very last time change. Fortunately, we learned about it in 
advance by the organizers themselves. But! Imagine that someone 
has not had the opportunity Contact Dzerzhinsky and find out 
all the nuances. This is nothing spektrumist suspects could 
come to the old place and in an atmosphere of special pomposity 
_oblomatsya_, realizing also that Organizers at it, sorry to 
... know. I could cite Organizm'a letter - one of the 
organizers dh'99, - in which He almost swore the presence of 
his people at the station and the old venue party to a 
successful transference of people to the desired object - as it 
turned out later, this object was a "mythical" (if I remember 
correctly) Teachers' Training College.


   That is now "responsible" attitude to people and entrusted 
the responsibilities. An elementary respect for arrived said 
not at all necessary. 


   We were lucky (?) - We found (not without help), right place
of dIhALT'a ... But then realized that would be better if we
it is not found!


   Shocking moments for all time of dIhALT'a was
by the thousand. This is our expectation, as long as 
"organizers" will transport equipment, will connect and 
configure it (all they have done in the day of the party !!!); 
and incomprehensible opening dIhALT'a when we have not said 
"hello" or "good morning, Welcome to the best party in the 
world ...", but simply by goosey thrown into the hall 
inarticulate fragment, a parody of human speech - "r-r-Graphics 
khompo-oh-oh ..." And started graphics compo (two pseudo-color 
display, first stood in the almost inaccessible to our view of 
the ground, and secondly, showed such a "funky quality", that 
everyone decided to watch on TV, which stands proudly above the 
hall and the only gave more or less acceptable image quality), 
and the absence of one channel while music compo, and saw it 
Only Trivial / BMZ / XTM, when I went to Mouzon, in fact, 
thanks to him this problem and fix, other musicians, it seems, 
did not notice anything (??!!!). 

   When did the demo-compo, and showed the work Volga Soft,
Beermanz 'Syndrome, one of the organizers said confidently:

   - Everything! Demos ended.

   - How is the so-ran?! - Yelled zonked SaiR00S. - And our
NAPALM???

   -?? Oh, yes! - Organizer stupidly looked at a representative
Eternity Indutstry. - There is one demuha ...

   Here's how it was.

   It is worth noting that the party ended just as it began.
All the while stumbling to us for some crumpled piece of paper 
mumbled results and announced the winners after nearly a 
half-hour vote count (like calculator is buggy, you beast!: 8) 

   The rest simply say I will not. It is not worth it. As
and the party itself with the organizers did not deserve even a 
critical mention in the newspapers and magazines.



   I want to note only one positive side of all that has 
happened to us in Dzerzhinsk. We met, talked, and very had a 
good time with Syndrome 'Beermanz. Else Sorry, unprintable ...



   Homecoming took place on the same day. Impressions from 
completely settling party under the name of dI: KAL'99 that we 
ourselves have given him, could not spoil our mood from 
communicating with the wonderful people of the SDM 'BMZ, 
therefore Vyazniki, when we were waiting for transplant to 
another train, walked a little banquet at a certain stone, 
which significantly raised us up for the rest of the day, but 
rather, in the evening. 

   In the carpet, we arrived late at night ... and, as it is 
banal, went home, agreeing to meet tomorrow. The next day was 
devoted to using foul language, being sent to Dzerzhinsk, and 
rosy memories of communion with the Syndrome 'Beermanz! 


   And the last. We are _not_ ZHELAEM_ have nothing to do with 
dI: hALT'om! Please do not mention the name of our group next 
to it! A wish you NEVER get into such a deep g. .. model, where 
we all delayed "glubokovazhaemye ORGANIZMatory" di: KAL'a!


   Good luck.
