  The building of the Security Service was in
the central part of the vast metropolis of
strange name Heresvill. Not far away peacefully humming wedged
between the fire station and residential area
nuclear power plant. From time to time
its depths something rumbled and rumbled,
and if the passing on some his
Cases townspeople quietly prayed.

  On the porch with large glass doors,
leading into the building, shifting from foot
on foot man in military uniform with field
Stripes lieutenant. He twisted in his hands
folder bulging out of her in all directions
securities and from time to time impatiently
looked at the sky. The weather was clear, at
the sky could be seen not a cloud.

  Suddenly the familiar sound of a big city was
broken low rumble. Over the building
power for a moment leaped
flames, finely ground trembled and
windows rattled windows. By territory
station ran hurriedly dressed in white
people. Peering closely, the lieutenant realized that they all 
run to the parking lot. Most energetic already shuts the door 
of their machines. 

  But then something happened, absolutely killer
Lieutenant interest in this event. Among
blue Thunder. Even more rattled windows, and over the horizon 
fell out some semblance of an aircraft. It literally collapsed 
onto the concrete pad in front of the Security Council, leaving 
a pristine surface of the horrible scars. From hitting the 
ground hatch skimmer (Lieutenant finally found a pile of scrap 
metal in this battle skimmer GCS Mednonogov, rather what is 
left of it) with the ringing fell on the concrete, and in the 
open passage appeared similar existing simultaneously in the 
hung noodles bush and visited an orangutan in a washing 
machine. 

  The creature fell from the hatch, removed her
rags that were once a bulletproof jacket, and
in sunlight was smeared
dirt and fumes scorched in several places man in a shabby 
uniform. Man's hand was still clinging

grenade. He stood, leaning firmly in concrete
widely spaced legs, and panting. Finally, look for profit has 
become more meaningful. He looked around, shifted

look at the grenade in his hand, felt
fingers, a place where should have been
check again looked around. Lieutenant
rushed towards him, stopped, and even took a few steps, waiting 
for that will happen next. The man looked back at

grenade and tossed it over his shoulder at the open hatch of 
the skimmer. In the momentary silence could be heard as she 
rolled on an iron floor, falling from step to step. Lieutenant 
counted four steps before the explosion. Skimmer not even 
budge. He was lying in the middle mountain area razvorochennoy 
dead iron, like a monument to durability and

heroism.

  Lieutenant, making sure that everything ended well, finally 
approached and saluted.


  - Colonel Howell, your new job
- Otraportaval he said, holding a folder - a situation 6A - no 
delay. 

  - Kkhhha ... vvvv ... pppp ... - said
Colonel.

  - Sorry, did not understand - the lieutenant said.

  Colonel noisily gulped and took
another attempt.

  - Kkkakoy kkhhh ... disketiroval "Marsack?

  He removed his hand from his shoulder gun "Marsack"
and it became evident that instead of the store in order
disc is inserted from the PCA machine.

  - Strangled, reptile, - he gasped and began to
fumbling through his pockets.

  Lieutenant fearfully watched his
actions, wondering if he is not looking for another
grenade. The colonel finally found the right
pocket, ran into his hand and, to the relief lieutenant pulled 
a pack of cigarettes. 

  Lit it with a gas burner and a flame thrower
a couple of times he protracted dreamy eyes narrowed. Before 
his mind's eye of Lieutenant clear a picture of a horrible 
massacre over frivolous Hacker, prompting

he shivered. Deciding that this was an opportune moment, he 
tried again to move to the case.


  - The administration wishes you a successful
the operation and had high
Hope in connection with the situation
6A.

  Howell looked at him intently, from
Why lieutenant rolled and stretched glazaa
at attention. " Suddenly close
Howell view spoiled: The eyes have to converge to the bridge, 
but head fine shake. Colonel sharply slapped on the head and 
everything returned to normal. 

  - Cursed syndrome Enka - muttered
he said. - And how on earth I was then to fly on
Tau Ceti ... And how do we know that the operation completed 
successfully? - More than he asked amiably. - I have not yet 
filed a report, and markups just landed. 

  Both are in doubt look at the place
"Landing".

  - The administration believes in you - rapped
Lieutenant. And sympathetically added to himself:

  - Was it difficult job?

  Pins Colonel reflexively moved, looking for the trigger: the 
memories captured them.


  - Some kind of crazy decided to move
Doom to us from a parallel world Pisi.
Blew a hole in the continuum, and then the monsters
knocked down, well, just like cockroaches. Had
tricky.

  Both paused, thinking about each
her: Lieutenant - the deadly dangers that have befallen the 
colonel, and Howell - The hot tub.


  - So what was on the situation? - Asked
Colonel, mentally put an end to
bath.

  - Yes, - to revive the lieutenant - a serious matter. All 
material here - it again handed a folder.


  - And what is already known?

  - Yes, almost anything, but the entire service
already raised the alarm.

  The colonel looked at with caution folder
still hesitating to take it.

  - And who led the operation to my
arrival?

  - I am, sir.

  - You!? - Stared at the lieutenant
Howell. - But the operation of Class 6A should be led by a 
senior officer Service!


  - At the moment, Lieutenant - faltered,
- Or rather, to your ... landing - both
again looked at the remains of the skimmer - I
was a senior officer, sir.

  - But Where are the rest?

  - In the morning it was reported from the base of Hokkaido on 
the attack newcomers to Hawaii. Gen. Berman assembled all the 
officers, they took almost all the equipment from the warehouse,

immersed in "Leviathan" and departed.

  - Assault, you say? Alien, you say? - Nasty voice choked 
colonel. 

  Management was rumored that
Generals repaired one of the wrecked flying saucer, and from 
time to time it shows in the field of view of radar in the 
areas sea ​​and mountain resorts. Once with

Japanese cruiser Takao, coming toward Guadalcanal, saw the 
officers in tan armor floating on the surface of the water, 
"Leviathan" and jammed fish zerbaytovymi grenades. 

  - So it goes, the senior officer now - am I? - Asked Howell. 
He knew what will be the answer.


  - Yes, sir, - answered with a smile lieutenant. For him, it 
meant the end of nightmare, which ran for the fourth hour

moment of receipt of the first alarm message.

  The colonel looked again at the cloudless
the sky and began to regret that so quickly
parted with monsters from Pisi.

  - Come here - he took the folder and
quick step toward the building. The lieutenant hurried after 
him.
