             ESCAPE TO HARHAN


                (The background)



     Ivan wandered aimlessly through the woods. He did not know 
where to go, what to do, even how he came to, he did not 
remember. The memory came back very reluctantly. It happened 
with all those who suffered displacement in another body. And 
it happened exactly that. 

     The new body was pretty good - two
eye on the big ridge gave an excellent overview
environment, not unnoticed podkradeshsya,
stomach is possible to obtain much-needed vitality from even 
the most unpalatable things, but strong legs and easily tossed 
as easily landed a round body. All this Ivan liked, even a 
strange new name Cruz. It sounded a little unusual, but 
pleasant. 

     Suddenly, the way he blocked something huge.
Why Ivan Cruz, this did not immediately noticed he was not
knew. Most likely, this is strongly reflected. The find was big 
and seemed terribly familiar. What it was similar, Ivan could 
not remember. He touched a brilliant mass. "Facing PVC -

helpfully responded memory. He did not know where
knows that name, did not know how and why
knows what it's called "RESCUE BOAT class bPZh 001." At least 
until now. Now in the brain Ivan came and began to grow 
rapidly, trying to fill in all consciousness, the point 
bringing with it a feeling of something lost, but regains. Ivan 
did not know what will happen next, and therefore just waited 
patiently. 

     Memories surged so unexpectedly that
Ivan nearly fainted - worked long-term training. At all 
torments him questions answered occurred simultaneously, all 
jumbled up in my head, and Ivan, not resisting, just floated on 
the waves Memory ...



     Before the eyes pop up different images. He remembered 
that he served in the unit issledevateley new worlds - the 
detachment of Space Marines bombers. While he was interested in 
only one question - where when and by whom he was born, and how 
were the first few years of his life. Memory stubbornly refused 
help him. Was the only way out - go to Institute for Brain and 
insist on unblocking the early memories. Then it warned that it 
would adversely affect the psyche, but Ivan could not believe. 
And he had ... 


     The first few days, he soundly drunk, trying to drown the 
pain that brought the memories. The pain went away, but only to 
the new forces return. When the drink has become unbearable, 
Ivan wanted commit suicide, but hand was raised - as he

fought with unimaginable creatures, which survived only a few 
of even the best fighters can so easy to die? And all the pain 
did not abate. And then Ivan decided to fly to where his 
parents were killed, most all know, and maybe even destroy 
those who made him an orphan. His brain, the brain child, never 
forget those moments. Perhaps the most terrible in his life.


     Ivan remembered that the research ship
which flew his parents and where he was born, was stopped far 
beyond explore the space creatures probably the oldest 
civilizations in the world. Parents tied to a rocket nozzle of 
the ion engine, and he himself raised vosmipalaya, unpleasant 
to touch the hand and led watch burn two dark silhouette, 
crucified on the metal beams. Ivan even remembered the words

tell his mother before his death: "Who with sword
come by the sword shall perish. He'll be back here. But not
to retaliate, otherwise it will fall on my curse. "In other 
words, he had not heard, they were drowned in the roar of the 
flames. 

     Why not kill him, and put in a capsule and launched into 
space, Ivan did not know. Likely hoped that he would die. 

     By some miracle, the capsule was caught, and the
Ivan derived from a state of deep hibernation.

     For a time, until he was asleep flew in interstellar 
space, the brain had time to hide terrible memories of the 
bottom. And he is so nothing and did not remember until the 
unlock ... 


     Now he knew where to go and what to do, but
as it is done, for it was a mystery.
And then Ivan decided to turn to his best
Friend Tolia, who is now a very influential position. But Ivan 
did not know what that civilization, with which he faced in its 
infancy, already begun to prepare land grab. All of the most 
influential people were bribed, and live humanity not have long.


     Only when he grabbed Tolikova protection, he
realized that a big mistake, but it was
late.

     Not destroyed his only one reason - makes it possible for 
the lack of manpower. All the prisoners instead of a quick 
death in the electric chair waiting long and painful death in 
prison in which some on Girgee. To escape from there was 
impossible - the colony is located deep underground, which in 
turn turn was covered with one continuous ocean many kilometers.


     But Ivan soon despaired. Not so bad in the world. There 
are people who know about global Terrestrial conspiracy, and 
all forces that secretly trying to prevent capture. That they 
rejected an information beam, which sends all the data about 
Ivan on Girgeyu, one of Jupiter's satellites, placing it

into a new body, to give an opportunity to go unnoticed and fly 
to the abode of evil civilization - the planet Harhan ... 



     When Ivan came to himself, his head was a full order. Now 
he knew what was its purpose, and should by all means do it ...
