   Yan first

  With the first rays of the sun, he woke up. No, rather few
earlier. And, as always, with the feeling that this day should 
be happen for the sake of what, in fact, all these years with 
the tenacity robot, it existed. No, really this morning was

particular, it is felt every cell in your self, not solid, 
because the body has long been "outsiders", and that elusive, 
but a holistic and a powerful "I", which is in every

PERSON.

  Automatically performing actions consistent with the program
"Morning", he caught himself thinking that he is ready today 
for all 100 to that inevitably hastening every moment. But it 
was impossible to change anything in the existing regulations, 
it should happen with it, not with anyone else, to someone 
immediately turns, changing himself.                 - On-board 
1213 AP, answer ... - Yes, Lair ... Relationship is stable, 
approaching the designated 

   Gaza fighting. Do not worry, Gnark, everything will be O'k.
- Lisil, you're too young to report to me their

   general conclusions. Turn to your'd better crew.
- Yes you are, OSS, all in excellent spirits, we udelaem

   These Earthlings so quickly that they, in their expression, 
and the eye is not 

   have time to blink.
- Seven of 12 billion? Were! Your mission is entirely in the 
other    God. You only scout.

- Yes, but Osviene ...
- At Osviene civilization of intelligent beings bowed to his

   sunset. We are not criminals, and orderlies galaxy! In 
general, the way: 

   no amateur stick installations Chief

   Coordinator and our supreme law. How do you understand?
- Yes, Lair!
- Yes, and the slightest change in circumstances - report

   immediately. The entire tract is involved and the AP works 
only on 

   you, you know what that means?
- Yes, I understand you, trust and authority ... In a word, no

   worry, Dad, I will never let down.
- Come on, boy, I believe in you, both in himself. End

   communication.

  C these thoughts, he drank a cup of coffee with bread and 
butter and sat down at the computer. Actually all that he had 
in his life, so is she, their daughter, computers, and the 
memory of the past, happy life. So, Well, well, let's see, 
let's see what we've got to get forecasts of security. Damn, 
again, these vigilant assholes changed the access code. Well, 
if you please every morning to lose by Half an hour of precious 
time to create a new master key. And yet Yet they know it is 
not an issue for smart people. Yes, all troubles on this sinful 
earth from people confused and also envious and greedy. 
Actually, money is invented for the salvation of this plague, 
but the medicine in large doses is poison ... Becomes poison 
... Wow ... This is something new! Are these brakes took to his 
staff someone from our ... No, excluded ... Who would dare to 
violate the Charter? Then what? Are all the same ...




                - Silvl, you have blocked access to the website 
of the Ministry of 

   Emergency kakerov for SNS-Association?
- Yes, the Lair ...
- Hopefully, staff will not have to cross
   Be?
- No, the Lair! Hps-device in action.
- Thank Osvienu! Prepare for the landing capsule. You have 
chosen candi    Datura informant?

- Yes, but ...
- Yes or no ... Candidacy must be flawless.
- In fact, Lisil that, as you know, the interest is

   complexity of the game.
- The gain should be maximized. We'll play this game!
- But in case you lose ...
- Who can beat us? Us supercivilization of Representatives,

   us, the nurses of the universe?
- O'k ... Here are profiles of the man ...

  Promuchavshis half an hour over the password, Paul looked 
like a tiger in cell. Idiot, moron, because it was necessary to 
buy neyroakselerator, to hell with them with money, so he peak. 
And most importantly, because he knew, he knew what can happen 
... 

  Feet, groin, you - not Ptah. For no reason, no reason at all 
these ups does not happen. We must find out, maybe some kind of 
garbage has occurred in chrezvychayschikov? But one is not easy 
to do, have to ask support. Well, so be it. A few keystrokes 
flying fingers over the keys, and, hastily dressing on the run, 
he ran from the apartment. The ticket was already booked. 

  High-speed express train St. Petersburg - Moscow leaves every 
hour. It takes just half an hour, not to mention at a time when 
he met her. Outside the window flashed subtle, painfully 
familiar since the childhood places. Yes, all the same 
civilization loses much of its unstoppable run forward. 
Civilization or civilization? This damned question did not give 
Paul the rest here for many years. In search of an answer he 
met with people from the SNS. Once lived on Earth eccentric, 
his name was either Andrew, or Alex. Then the network only 
began to enter into life terrestrial civilization. Here it is, 
then founded the Association. True, the goals were ridiculous. 
Saving the computer that this person is loved, as love only 
sentient beings. Mdaa ... well, maybe he was in its own right, 
because computers are not capable of at least betrayed, and 
they do not need to walk in the morning and at night, as 
brothers our smaller ones. So, people on the platform to be 
independent, sophisticated intelligence and they had no 
secrets. And then ... then, this principle was extended to all 
earthly things ... And then ... And the unearthly beings. 
People were born, grew up, grew old and died, and the SNS, is 
not up to its acronym in actually lived and acted now over a 
hundred years. 2101. The most secret order of intellectuals 
from all existed at The ground for dozens of centuries of human 
civilization. Just a few hundred people from 12 billion people 
on Earth, and he was among elected, but at what price. To live 
as live butterflies, fluttering peacefully on warm summer 
evenings before the first autumn frosts, and part with life 
easily and painlessly, without even realizing the magnitude of 
sudden loss. And these guys from the Ministry of Emergency? 
Knew they would, at what cost to their computers so there is 
information they need. About them all know about all of them 
write, but nobody ever has to know about the existence of the 
Order of the Keepers of the Earth. Ah, Pasha, Pasha ... Never 
say never. 

  Gravity Starship - Battle Trophy nurses of the Universe "
- Is rapidly approaching the star system of the sun. Unmarked 
fields, encoded messages received on Osviene. Lisil struggled 
with this as I could, but was forced to obey her father. Who 
knows how outsiders perceive what is their unpleasant, but so 
necessary for the universe work. Many civilizations sentient 
beings in the course of its evolution, taking the path that 
inevitably leads to death of all the good elements in the 
universe. But this should not be allowed in any case. And if 
one or another civilization, entangled in their own problems, 
trying to finally, good luck in the search space expansion - 
this is where their and punishes inexorably overtakes 
intelligence sons and daughters Palostro. According to 
Kordinatsionnogo Board, 3 planet in star system 173 200 110 111 
000 703 612 340 943, referred to as Aboriginal Land in the 
solar system the last 21 of his existence is slowly but 
inexorably approaching the verge for which the jump occurred 
after 5 centuries threat Keepers of the divine origin of the 
universe. Instilled through telepathic methods available in the 
arsenal of people Palostro XXI century ago, the idea of ​​a 
divine universe, an earthling named Jesus not very much 
contributed to the normal development of human civilization. 
Jesus was crucified, and of the correct principles, which he 
sowed in people's minds, grown anything, but just not something 
that would be harmonized earthlings relationship with the 
cosmos. Much has known it, they did not understand what more 
they know and can, with the stricter They demand from more 
advanced civilizations. Lord, not they are the first, they do 
not last. That osvientsy think of themselves too much and did 
not fear God, and in fact should be afraid. Lisil read a 
prayer, and the surging was painting the horrors of the last 
days Osvienny retreated to a deeper consciousness.              
   The day was sunny but not hot, so the glass inside the 
Express were slightly toned, the color tone of each passenger 
chooses at its own discretion. Paul chose not to use "toy" 
computer for the passenger. Computers were bigger and better 
part of his life, and interesting for the hacker may be the 
only computer with greater capacity, than his own. And take 
some plaster with some 100 accidents 16 terabytes of memory, 
when at home on the desk of Paul graced Spectrum BLUE BIRD 2101 
c 800 cast and 64 terabytes of memory and a crystalline memory 
of 8 petabytes. But on the other hand, something is happening 
now in the information space, and he was temporarily separated 
from him. On another day he would be able to would distract 
from this, but today ... Hand pressed against his will barely 
noticeable button in the armrest. Neighbor on the coupe, with a 
round bald burly woman's face, snoring peacefully in a nearby 
chair and something to smile in his sleep, funny moving full 
lips. C his head is almost lost his hoop dreams, blinking 
peacefully emerald eye, if the color changed from light green 
to lemon, "Rules for passengers" was recommended to draw on 
this attention, and when otsvechivanii indicator in the color 
of ripe oranges allowed to disrupt the wrap from head neighbor. 
From the wall of compartment over a chair Paul quietly moved a 
plastic container. Silent soft coup, and now the 
"table-covering" blinking merrily emerald eye, they say, GET 
READY. O'k, Paul puts his immense pleasure to a cooling 
ruchischu on hand a silver plate. Identification system to 
determine the owner This mighty hand. On the screen lit up line

"Pavel A. Desnitsky, Russia, St. Petersburg, 2066/5/5"
flick your index finger, and the computer began to imitate
flight over the native Peter from the house owner to Moscow. 
Paul was not called to his little finger, he did not like, like 
his father, to work wearing a helmet. Land on the screen, 
turned upright, as if "Aircraft" Paul went into a tailspin. 
Tear to head off to the creators this shell, but still better 
than going to look for mushrooms, berries, zverushek (he 
remembered how in kindergarten all confused Why hedgehogs erase 
from memory he wrote funny pesenkiyablochki). When he had 
already learned to read and write, he always worked with the 
old text span end of the XX century. But here it can not be 
helped, here you are my friend, not a house. On the height and 
slightly upturned earth whirling in my head, but what the 
Chinese have imposed coding and hieroglyphic writing to all 
mankind in the middle of the XXI century, as well as a world 
language let Paul, with difficulty, then had to use bulky 
graphical equivalent of basic Chinese. Well at least comments 
and messages were allowed to do in their native Russian 
language. Of the 12 7 billion people on Earth were Chinese, and 
mixed peoples. All non-Chinese were allowed to have only two 
living children, Chinese people - three children. In St. 
Petersburg, from 12 million in May million were ketisy (ie, 
descendants of the peoples of the once mighty Soviet empire, 
and immigrants from China). With the Chinese in Peter came 
well-being, which when you dreamed of, like communism. Worked 
and how much someone wanted to, mainly engaged in the arts and 
science, art, sport, and of course computers. Old men were 
digging in the air in the suburbs, in their gardens, children 
have fun spent time in games on the air and on computers. 
Imperceptibly they were educated. People with good health were 
engaged in the fact that in the XX century was called 
bodybuilding. But the main leisure time they had sex, 
entertainment, and traveled to planet. Worked mainly 150 - 200 
days a year, but worked very productive. All production has 
long been robotized and automated. Climate has become 
manageable, and mankind has learned to produce crops, provide 
food in abundance the 12 billion inhabitants of planet Earth. 
Work on the land trust only to the elite, and the military 
machinery of farms was so high that most farmers have to work 
his head, and of course all the same from morning until into 
the night spinning like a squirrel in a cage. 15-20 years in a 
labor farmer earned so much money that his children and 
grandchildren can live idly, not laboring. However, for such a 
law by which they could not have kids. Tagged by saying, 
"drones - the last in his family. "Money had circulation, but 
the poor little left. People have been secured, wealthy, very 
wealthy and rich is unthinkable. However, the money ceased to 
be unwise to put pressure on the planetary laws and give their 
owners a small advantage in traveling around the Earth and in 
the choice of accommodations and luxury homes. were encouraged 
patronage and philanthropy, nearly everyone tried to stay in 
the memory of mankind, which, thanks to computers has become an 
unusually capacious. All development of industry, science, 
transport and communication is done by major banks in the money 
of wealthy investors, which are 40% of world population (mainly 
Chinese and ketisy). 

  Lisil closed my eyes and relax the muscles of the body, 
reclining in a field Kuorisa. Focusing on specific internal 
organs, he gave them a good filling with blood, the body has 
spread a pleasant life-giving warmth. Now you can work. He drew 
my mind's eye to the off side kiberkontsentratoru. From it came 
the vital energy, painted a nice elastic Manby - therefore, AP 
path to work today at 100. Well, you can start operation 
"Earth-Q". But who is there dangles a brain? Swearing in 
osvienski, Lisil brought himself from Trump. - Silvl who dared 
to take a 1 / 4 kiberkontsentratora? 

  Now I need it completely, totally!
- Lisil, I've told you that Evdeya aboard a starship

  before a fall. She is boring and it always sticks out in his

  brain, and as you know our Kiba ...
Without waiting for the tirade, his assistant, jumped Lisil
to his feet, crunching greenish skin suit, walked in
side of the cabin Evdei. Hurriedly making way leru, pressed
to the walls of the corridor biorobots, engaged full-time 
service systems of a starship. Noticing turns into a transport 
compartment dera Stserisa, Lisil called him.

- Hey, Stseris!
- Yahoo, Lisil!
- How are you, the capsule is ready?
- There is a problem. The fact that earthlings suddenly changed

  modulation type of planetary protection fields.
- Well, sort things out with these fields! As your assistant, 
something 

  it is not visible.
- Boy fun with the earthly kiberspeysom ...
- I found the time. Tell him to do business. Half an hour later

  beginning of the operation ... hence, the maximum four-hour

  capsule must be completely ready.
- But, Lair ...
- Do you understand me, Stseris ... Maximum of four and a half

  hours!
- Yes, Lair.
- By the way, where our nice ranger?
- I do not know, Lair.
- Can not cover it ... I suppose you've lost in the bay
  Celia? Okay, see you.
And the commander of a starship, Ghost, springy stepping gait 
of a large predatory cat, a few seconds later ended up in the 
cabin Evdei. Without knocking, he abruptly opened the door and 
.... Deck of the starship gone from his legs and under, losing 
orientation in space, helplessly rasprastav limb, with a puzzled

facial expression, the valiant Lair hovered myatchilem helpless.
- What kind of wacky antics, Evdi!?
                              (To be continued).
