   She spoke very
quickly and frog face flickered green
Jelly in time off from the toothless mouth obscenities. She said
me that loves my clone, because he, allegedly, strong, 
beautiful and smarter. In general, women like. Not that I do.

Although, as she screamed, I
thought that Madame love is not a clone, but in my
heavy spacesuit. I wonder how she began to sing, if
would see a clone without equipment?


   Traum died down when I asked where her lover lives. Traum 
laughed and said that I do not get it coordinates, because I 
want to kill the clone. 



   Then, after some thought, she said,
that she would kill me if its a favorite
something happens.


   I offered a ride Beauty, but
she said that she me a ride and want to include teleportator. I 
refused her this pleasure.



   Not tolerate the lady at the helm of my ship! Especially a 
lady without legs - curious What would she pressed on the gas 
pedal, clutch and brakes, if the width of her ass ... sorry, 
the tail - two times greater than the width the control panel?



   Poured out on me the whole tank banana
dirt, Madame suddenly remembered that it was time
on the planet Great Male. I even feel sorry for
became my clone. Oh, enough of hardship he had to
her family life. After learning just
case, the coordinates of the Great male, I said goodbye to 
Traum. 


   Deciding that meet Traum on the Great Male no reason to, and 
waved first randomly planet from the list of the first clone.



   Imagine my surprise when, on
this planet I first saw the representative race ondonayte! Her 
name was Torquay. She was really beautiful. Wow! Not

I can not find words to convey my impressions. You know, there 
is such a thing - sex-bomb. So, I would not call Torquay

just bomb, bomb, and vigorous, which are simply the bomb - not 
a bomb, a so-so - Pomegranate. And, imagine, suddenly, Torquay

tells me she loves me! From its
words, I ascended to a higher and higher in
tridesyatuyu galaxy! And then she asks me to protect her from 
her clone who wants to do with her reproduction.

Bastard! My anger knew no bounds. I
Torquay promised protection, and she gave me the coordinates of 
his friend, who would in my something to help.


   A friend of Torquay, a brilliant representative of race
tubular-brain, slowly moved his
gyrus, which for some reason, unlike
from the convolutions of all normal beings, moving over his 
head. With him it was impossible to talk heart to heart. 


   He showered on me numbers, passwords and
codes and God knows what. From his words I
knew only one thing - after one hundred and twenty fifth hour, 
he tells me something important. Martian cuckoo clock sang by 
the time something about a hundred. Catch here seems to be 
nothing and I left planet.



   On a planet with a madman named Great Male I met with 
another representative ondonayte, whose name was Traum - as 
well as that evil mermaid who loved my clone. But this Traum

was more similar to Torquay.



   Traum confessed to me in love and told me to beware the 
insidious Torquay which plays tricks on me and wants to kill. 
My head went round to these women's intrigues. Although I 
doubted her honesty - Traum in fact never explained to me that

it makes on the planet Great male? "


   True, something sensible, this friend of my
said. I found the coordinates of the planet robhedov, which in 
its opinion should be friends. 


   Fly to robhedam. But they encounter
despondency and lack of understanding. It seems that
friends do not care about my problems. Dreamy robhed, look to 
the sky, one word answers to my questions. From a short 
conversation with him know that robhedy not like sinoksov. 
That's it! No requirements, issues and so on. 



   His frustration I called robheda banana
threatened to kill him at that robhed-melancholic responsible 
amazing stratagem words, that track is only one

advice. And if you follow onomu can okzatsya farther than the 
visible part of the Metagalaxy.



   At sinoksov I stumbled by accident -
again on one of the planets, these
the first clone. And since I have a password
knew sinoks treated me very kindly. But as always, promised to 
help but after I will release a pair of Representatives race 
antenna. Little brutalized by these flights I fly to the 
antennas and convert first one, then another, and then going to 
sinoksu. He tells me to celebrate, the coordinates

his friend - another sinoksa ...



   Second sinoks demanded from me the names of two planets 
robhedov. By the time I already was firmly convinced that all

races in this cluster - sclerosis. And I for
them - for free information and referral
office. And although the organization of such a service in
My plans are not included, I still had procured
the names of both planets robhedov. Antennas
I was told. In return, the information received
"Altruist" sinoks gave me the coordinates of the clone.


   You're still not tired? Okay, then listen on. The whole 
point is that before this the moment I tried to be nice and 
accommodating. I did not touch these inoplanetyashek, although 
he could decompose into atoms any planet. But that's what was 
wrong - I could no longer follow the principles of socialism 
with a human face, because coordinates of the remaining two 
clones did not give me none. Even the return of my friendly 
total compensation sclerosis, as was before.


   No me about anything not asked for one
demanded nothing except ... However,
about robhedah offered me a sudden bloody deal, I'll explain 
later. And now I'm I remember as a one hundred and twenty fifth 
hour suddenly talking tubular-brain and put me kingpakov 
coordinates, which were big fans of racing. 


   The representative of the race a few times
made me when we played some
child's play, like "who will reach faster
planets with known
coordinates. "engaging in this game, I
hoped that kingpak say something
sensible, but, as a result, I only got
in an awkward position. At one of the planets
for this game have found loving me
Torquay. I just do not burn with shame. It's there
suffering, torment, a clone of my very
pulled out, and I'll racer from themselves portrayed.
In short, I spit on everything and flew to robhedam that and 
asked me to shed blood sinoksov, antennas and tubular-brain.

In fact, the "shed blood" - loudly
said. I was just five times pulled the trigger and Planetary 
annihilator spread all sklerotikov into atoms. That

everything. Robhedy gave me the coordinates of the remaining 
two clones. 


   Last clone before
his death, wished me
long and happy life. AND
say something as well - just like I did when I was good.
"You, - he said - that's me!
Therefore, love and be Torquay
happy. "And he gave me the coordinates of the planet's Corp., 
where I waited for my love. 


   When the latter clone
was over, I rushed to the joys of lint and sought Torquay. She 
threw herself on my neck and quietly whispered about his love.



   I listened to her and thought about how well
all over. And then she looked at
I was big and black eyes and said:
"My Captain, we're married and I face you
one hundred young Blood! "


   You can imagine my reaction? ..


   ... But it can not
record. Turn off the recorder. You know, I still
unsure - and how could
I find the latter clones did not
spraying accidents sklerotikov? After all, now hundreds of
Blood flies through the universe,
trying to unravel this family mystery. And me? I'm ...
Old has already ...
