Seven Days - Seven Nights Fantastic story [Continued. The previous chapters - in rooms 92.96] (C) Andrew Satan Lisil went from Evdi with troubled hearts. Vague anxiety possession of him. Come what may, he will stand any test yet he's got it. Stseris was headlong into neyronike when Lisil came from him in the vehicle compartment. - How are you? - Appealed to him commander. Tired of intense mental work Stserisa eyes speak without words. - Dropping ... will have to go - finally all the same he said. - Cancel? Twitch corner of his mouth and slowly swell in the neck Commander Vienna - harbingers of impending outbursts. About This is well known to all crew members. - Vitsis, please, switch to the prima-interface on the brain Commander - der Stseris turned to his young assistant. - Just be sure to antipsihodestroerom, please. Excuse me, I feel very badly and, unfortunately, not I am one. After a few moments, looking at pupils mutneyuschie Commander, Vitsis was forced to abort connection. Eyes Commander barely alive, his brows frowned, his shoulders drooped. At exhaustion He collapsed in the antigravity chair. - Vitsis rather clear the problem! You did kill Kiba! - Yes, Lair. - Cozovite crew ... at the emergency meeting. - All? - All ... men - said the commander is very quiet. - And please, for five minutes remission Kiba ... And a minute and a half after it - me. - Yes, Lair! When remission after he came to himself, then immediately focused on variants of the solutions found Kibom. It looks like earthlings actually blocked them all the loopholes for beam landing. Somehow it was Jurisdictions and is not consistent with information received on Osvienne, the development of the Earth's basic science. Suddenly there was a bass Krigsa. - No, well, what restless inventor, eh? The mind boggles! - I think about for this hand put our incomparable Evdi - the second it more high-pitched voice Dregs. - Well, if something like that we can experience and Earth, but is not virtual ... - And do not dream, my friend, humans hate aliens! Finally all were assembled: Lisil, Stseris, Vitsis, Silvl, Dregs, Krigs and centurion biorobots Daurangs. - What makes Evdi? - Asked Lisil have Vitsisa. - Oh, Larry in an excellent mood, primp in front of mirror and purrs himself something funny under his nose. I told her that you made a most boring meeting on the preparation of landing on Earth. - Well, Vitsis. After a pause, during which calls are present subsided, Lisil, carefully enunciating each word, said: - Friends! I asked you to come here because the decision that I should take, to hurt all of us. Case not that we will again risk our lives - to that we do not get used! There is another problem: no matter what solution we nor have we inevitably will have to violate one of our Supreme law. - What do you mean? - Exclaimed Silvl. - Who of us would dare? It's ... means ... - Yes, that means ... death sentence ... - It's not a death sentence, but the duty of law-abiding palostryanina ... - Do not hide behind words Silvl - angrily threw Dregs - and in general, let's look for a way out together! - Well. Maybe you're right, it is worth once again try to escape from this trap. Vitsis Please read the present with the problem and the solution obtained. - Yes, of course. I ask all to tune into contact with Kibom. In the silence that followed focused person crew a little gloomy. At Rangers, they become purple, or from mental exertion, or from overfilling their indignation. Until Bitsevsky Forest Park Peter was getting at velokare. Overpass to the station hire these high-speed, cost-effective means movement on the maglev is steps away from his home. Small, like a toy, avtomobilchik on two, with streamlined forms, has received the necessary electromagnetic pulse for ten kilometers after Peter called the voice of the destination. Necessary to maintain the motion energy is stored sverhvysokooborotnym handwheel with ultra-low friction bearings. In velokara, justifying its title, and had pedals. Muscular energy of passengers used mainly to compensate for friction losses, which were negligible. However, most of the passengers, especially young people who used it both as an exercise bike. To this end, in the administration had to be called only the desired additional load per kilometer. Millions velokarov maintained in the thirty millionth Moscow in the late XXI century, the level of environmental pollution from transport about half than ten millionth Moscow in the late XX century. All it took not more than ten minutes. The park was just wonderful. Spring vengeance comes into its own. Young leaves are sticky and fun discordant birds - these the eternal symbol of renewal of nature, and certainly all living things rejoice life. Everywhere were smiling faces. Ctayki children frolicking in the dries out from the winter snows melted the ground. Beautiful young girls and young cocky guys reveled in their own, such an infinite youth, and the whole ancient world, it seemed born again and begin their new life together with them. He was full of mysteries and secrets, it was laced with alluring, the magical, unearthly grace of love that is dissolved in the spring air. - God Shall this spring, the last of humanity? - Flashed Peter's head. People watched in amazement after him. He understood that his face must be the only discord among all These carefree, happy faces. And here is his favorite krasavtsyduby. Wise my trees, How much you've seen in my lifetime. How many children, gathers under your acorns in the fall, joy his "priceless treasure" with shining with happiness persons fled show them to their least happy parents. To the wise trees were wise birds: c height mighty branches, watching his black, contemptuous mocking eyes, croaked ominously crows. - Do not klichte Down and Out, black raven soul! We still argue with destiny ... Klim and Vsevolod already waiting for him at the appointed place. On faces they had written bewilderment. Tall, broad- dark Klim, shifting from foot to foot, with his hands in his baggy pockets roomy jacket. Vsevolod crushed in fingers lump tender green leaves. - Well, finally! We were thinking, you have to look for! - Klim was outraged. - What happened? Why the fever? - Vsevolod knit beautiful eyebrows, holding Peter's hand. - Guys! As it is simply impossible to believe, but ... - Peter and haltingly told them that he was known at that time. - Sci-Fi kind of! Cheap and, moreover, not funny. You accidentally not confused ... Today is not April 1. - Yes, come on, Klim, if indeed everything is just so although in such cases all that is known ... absolutely nothing means ... - Let's not lose precious time! Immediately pelenguem whereabouts of Paul and, I believe, without delay, should go towards Silver Express - Peter interrupted them. - Well, it's something ... Why? - View Klim became prickly and suspicious. - And then. Imagine that the train is generally not come to Moscow. - This is why he should not reach? - I do not know why. However, this possibility can not be excluded. Why else would Paul asked as to accurately track his movements? - Yes, indeed ... Of this I somehow never thought of. Friends rushed to zaparkovanoy near luxury car. - Wow! Whose beauty? - Peter said, admiringly. - My! - Proudly said Vsevolod. - You are what this son of a snake ... milliarderstvuesh? - Oh, say, too, - the smile never left the face of Vsevolod - Remember that story, child abduction president Gallaksi-kompyuterz? - Well, of course. Of course I remember. Then all you had to do networking din, which swallowed subchiki those that were taken out of school children ... - Uh-huh! And then, three weeks ago, their dad become generous ... - And he bought you a gorgeous car ... - No, its given me, and myself bought a cooler somewhere on special order, the ocean. How can he afford to have someone else in Moscow, the car was better than him? Well, as well as Security Service of the movement slows down, I was escorted everywhere instead "royal honors: give way, and all that. However, I'm not too abused, I leave to her only in extraordinary cases. And so ... good old Mercedes still my loyal, loyal friend to all road debacles. Vsevolod "suffered". He once seemed to have forgotten everything. - Okay, Seva, stop. Come on, backwaters its eighth wonder of the world and chased! By the way, a direction finder do you have? - Offend ... Here, brother taakoe have - Vsevolod said, smiling mysteriously. Suddenly there was a nice girl's voice. - Hello, gentlemen! - Who's that? - A look around on the sides of Peter's face became awfully stupid, like all shy young people in the sudden appearance of a girl. But there was no girl! - My name is Masha, sir, could and guess. Peter was sitting with her mouth open. Car with Vsevolod was an artificial intelligence. Suddenly the computer in Paul rang the bell, and a white pigeon zaporhal rectangles on the screen with the envelope in its beak. - Strangely, no matter where is it? "Pavel Andreyevich Desnitsky. Urgent. Confidential." - Sender? - Your faithful friend. " Paul frowned. Usually, he destroyed the anonymous letter, reading, but now it strongly raised over the Delete key finger froze. An inner voice tells us that should not be without read it, destroy this letter. "Do not be surprised, sir! Write to you I made a terrible threat hanging over your home planet and personally over you. These insidious obsessed humanoids delusions. They declared a zone of vital interest to our entire galaxy, they destroyed my home planet. I the only one who managed to escape by accident. For your safety, immediately leave the train. Over the next hour, try and leave the area bounded by ... (... More specify the exact coordinates). " Paul consulted on kibernavigatoru Geosystems. "Silver Express" will appear in a given area at any minute. Brain, As always in danger, frantically scrolling options for action. From a nearby chair came a groan. Neighbor in the compartment as a whole immediately went limp and began to crawl out of the chair at floor. The indicator on the hoop dreams, aberrant from his head to ear, the eyes of the astonished Paul of Orange suddenly become garnet color. - Oh my god ... "It never rains but it pours!" One flick of the wrist he knocked his head with hoop neighbor, but he did not came to himself. Pulse he had a weak, rapid, breathing - surface. - Doctor! - That is urine cried Paul, throwing wide open door coupe - the person dies! On his desperate appeal through the crowds of onlookers formed instantly made its way pretty young woman. Paul raised his eyes and could not take them - so it was good. - We will erase in a powder of nothingness, imagines himself to people! - The voice of war elephants trumpeted Raja Krigs. - Now, now, a colleague, do not forget! Open, force landing within the alien star systems, not in the hands of galactic terrorists ... "- tried to reason with his quote of the supreme law Silvl. - Ah, I do not care ... "Opposition to inspection by the overlap of field corridors of hyperspace ..." - Parried Krigs quote from the same place. - How did you get that from? Perhaps this is an absurd coincidence! - Tried fend Silvl. - Coincidence? Ridiculous?! Such ... matches ... does not happen! - through the air ferocious voice fearless strategist Galactic Wars. - But, my brave Krigs. After the combat readiness of military space forces of the Earth is extremely high. We simply would not let even their natural satellites, k. .. - Hesitated, trying to remember Dregs. - To the Moon - has prompted Vitsis. - That's right, the moon. Incinerating lasers or anigilliruyut - and the whole game! - If I may be permitted to intervene ... - Daurangs said. - Well, of course, speak! ".. - I think we need to return to Osviennu. A couple of months we shall again here, but with hundreds of starships, armed to the teeth. Then, Earthlings will have nothing to oppose us, even in open combat in space. - My friends, - interrupted the disputants Lisil - all, of course, terribly bad, but still among the possible solutions presented to us Kibom, there is one, I think, quite reasonable ... - But you can not use it, Lisil - voice Gnarka sounded like a bolt from the blue. - Oss? - Lisil closely examined the crowd. Averted his gaze from his trieth his opinion one Silvl. - I forbid you it! Moreover, the command is immediately ready to maneuver a spaceship. Gaining Osviennu! - Father! I was silent. Resign themselves to your will, bowing in front of your wisdom ... Suddenly, a siren wailed drawl. Panic! "Unauthorized access to the zone of the modulator genesis-stream". - Evdi-ul ... - Jumping up from their seats, like a cheetah for an antelope, Lisil rapidly disappeared in the corridor leading to the modulator. Behind him, on old habit, without hesitation, rushed Krigs and Dregs. - Vitsis - whispered in his ear to his assistant Stseris - immediately open the channel modulation. Provide them a safe transkarirovanie. The goal for the "ray of life" - the Earth. Fixed sector - part of the railway "Santiburg - Mosca, the one where now is this ... - Train! - Yes. Number transkariruemyh genotypes - four! - Do not you dare! As the newly appointed commander, I will not tolerate ... - cried Silvl. - Nerds! You do not know what it means emergency mode modulator? - Cried the furious der Stseris. - After the cloning of the hereditary palostryan was against the law? - They are ... it ... deserve - stammering and purple, said Silvl. - And I will do my utmost so that you can repeat these words to them, alive and not in the void of the universe for their souls, a scoundrel. Seeing that Silvl going to pounce on him, der Stseris filed a secret command to control device antigravity chair Silvla. - Sit still! " - Stseris coolly turned his blaster on the chest Silvla. - Vitsis accept at the newfound commander of his personal weapon. Until the return of Commander Lisila starship command I will. - Please free up space, allow more air. You know how doing chest compressions? - Beautiful stranger turned to Paul. - Yes, of course, had to ... Unfortunately. - Well, what do you stand as a post? Get down! - She vigorously shook a vial, and with lovely hair shaken all of her breathing and healthy body. After several kicks to the chest and fat injections have begun to faint signs of life. Paul sighed. - Let me kiss your hand! - He turned to the woman. - Allow me to kiss the hand of a stranger? - A bottomless slough of her eyes flashed and disappeared naughty little devils. - Oh, sorry, in this turmoil forgot to introduce myself. Paul. - Very nice. My name is Marina - she gave him her tiny little white pen with elegant fingers. Looking at her eyes, he warmly pressed his finger to those lips. Shiver ran through his mighty body from head to toe. - Look, we need to quickly get on the air and deliver patient in the hospital. At any moment an attack could again be repeated. - Yes, of course, one minute. Through the computer, he requested a connection with the engineer and reported happened. Based on the information, the nearest hospital is a ten-minute flight from their trains. Machinist agreed to an emergency stop for two minutes. Passengers of a male from a neighboring coupe helped Paul put to coat the patient and things on a small stop, where at any moment should arrive helicopter from the district hospital. Marina went with him. - How now? - Looking after the departing train, thought Paul, but the thought of his delicious companion there and then she gave up her away all other problems. Jumping for the outer ring highway of Moscow, the car flew easily and freely as a bird. The speedometer was almost one hundred and ninety miles an hour, but the speed did not feel. Vsevolod threw the steering wheel and turned to his friends. You can chat with Masha feels great road, and molest her with his taxiing on the motorway "Moscow-Helsinki" absolutely no to anything. - Where was the last time received signal radiomarkera Paul? - Vsevolod said in Clim. - Twenty kilometers from the Highest Volochek ... Five minutes ago. - After that, his movement has ceased. What is it? Masha, Silver Express has continued to move to Moscow? - Certainly, sir. Vydropuzhsk followed a minute ago. Through thirty-eight minutes will be in Moscow. The reason for delay of seven minutes not yet known, rather the engineer said about some unknown dead man off the train. Oppressive silence hung in the air. Finally Peter said. - What a man have ideas on this? - Is it really ... what? - Tsoknuv expressive language, said Klim. - Do not croaked ... - Frowned Vsevolod. - In this case ... Ten to twenty minutes work sensor body temperature. How soon we'll be there, Masha? - If you would meteodorozhnye conditions - after forty seven minutes. - Okay. Let's discuss all possible options for our further action. - What other such actions? - Flared Clim. - Information and so there was virtually none, and now that's ... Okay, I will not, I will not. Yes, you do not look at me as the enemy, by golly. The car windows were blacked out, but at the request of the passengers or the driver can be projected on their inner surfaces the surrounding area with an arbitrary height, or anything of Earth Kiberspeysa. - Masha, please show us the latest worldwide news, which refer to any communications: space, aliens, UFO ... - Asked Vsevolod. - ... Space security - added Peter. - Well, after two minutes Quick review of interest to you topics will be ready, but still look new video Zai Dvinson. - Oh, anything, anything but that - protested Clim. - Give we are still the best area Vydropuzhska bird's-eye view. - For God's sake, here you are you your Vydyrpyr! Little stop with two slightly rickety little houses was a reserve the past century. As if it never happened in the world no progress, there still remained exactly the same as hundred years ago. The well was full of young woman with buckets. Hiding behind hand from the bright spring sun shining, it is curiously looked around strangers. Hiding behind her wide skirt shyly peeping children. The woman said something to the boy and gently pushed his hand. The boy ran in all haste to Paul and Marina. Dirt flew in all directions from his old times rubber boots. The girl was accompanied by his long envious eyes, but to run after him did not dare, srobela. - Health - smiled the boy all his freckles and Paul Marina. - Hello, scamp - greeted him with Paul. Marina, too, smiled and nodded kindly woman. Face of a woman from welcoming smiles make beautiful, all over it was evident that she is glad they. - What's your name? - Marina turned to the boy. - Vasyatka they call. - A priest on the way dignify? - Asked now Paul. - Vassil Vassilich. - So tell us, Vasil Vassilich the name of a place where we have got, and how many people live here? - Drevlevo, but living here just us and no one else. Let's go there soon, mother calling you to tea. - Yes, you see, John, Joe, trouble is we have befallen - showed Paul eyes on the patient. - And this is me ... right now, instantly, - shouted Vasyatka already on the move, and Forest former splashing mud, rushed with all his might for the house. A few minutes later he, along with mincing gray-haired old man and Truck returned back. - Hello, good people, - mumbled the old man. - Hello, Grandpa! - Paul greeted him with Marina. - Well-man then you live, as Ali? - Why, in the train attack happened. Do not worry, soon followed him fly the helicopter from the district center, ambulance. - From Vydropuzhska, are you? - Yes, from Vydropuzhska - posted by Paul. - So the sun that we are his torment, serdeshnogo? And in the legs no truth. A samovar is on my desk, and the owner of what God sent dear guests poberezhet ... It was evident that a novelty here newcomers. Yes, and human old: wait for the helicopter because it is possible and under the roof. - Well, now I'm just raising the poor, - clasping armpit fat, said Paul. Joint efforts of the patient was finally loaded into the cart, at the hay, covered with a jacket on top. Trying not to shake the bulky body, Pavel Vasyatka carefully brought the cart under a shed. The old man brought home another coat and boots. At home the patient decided not to bring to once again not to disturb him. He still never regained consciousness. Marina wanted to stay near him, but came up with buckets full of young mistress had ordered his own way. - Annie, Vasyatka, keep an eye on Uncle! If you wake up or it would be worse - a flash in the house, tell us. - Well, Mom, - answered her shrill, sonorous voice, a girl, cautiously approached the truck. - Come into the house, dear guests - neat little old lady kindly opened the door. From the house came the amazing smell of freshly baked cakes. Never visited the village of Marina and Paul for the first time crossed the threshold of this country house. The sun had already begun his way to the horizon, and marsh mosquitoes, tirelessly roamed in search of warm-blooded creatures in the early morning, resting in the shade, after the midday break readily smoothed the young, still immature wings, preparing for the evening fun. Old lone moose lazily substituted for the whole day of the warm spring sun their tattered, faded hips, slowly shifting his feet majestically withdrew deep into the marsh, away from people for the night. Huge, three girth, birch and aspen rustled their mighty verdant canopy, muttering something in a playful spring breeze, whether on the incessant birds. Suddenly the wind died down, the birds were silent, everything stood still in expectation. Not far from the sun suddenly broke out a dazzling light. On all sides of him curled arc unimaginable number of rainbows. The white bark of birch trees shimmering all bizarrely colors flashed light spot. A few moments later the blue spring sky suddenly became pale yellow. Unimaginable roar shook all around. Hummed, moaned forest side. Furious whirlwind broke like matches, marine pine, spruce root tore the mighty. Not had time to cling to the ground birds were torn ferocious hurricane. A few minutes later all was quiet again, the sky became blue again. Poor fellow, elk madly looking around on the sides, standing near the edge element devastated marsh. From somewhere far away came pungent, suffocating smell of burning. No matter how disgusted people were to him, but Today they are perhaps surpassed themselves: create something stunningly awful - he felt that his whole skin. Elk returned to shore marshes. Under the birch tree with a torn top, among the piles of branches oblomanyh he came across a gel-like, air, milky-white. It is fascinating and contentment. Instinct failed him for the first time in my life. Muzzle stretched He came to this wonderful, unusual treat. Awesome power an electric shock into the nostrils once it outright. Los dropped by the front legs, spasm ran through his whole body, a bloody froth came from his mouth, out of his ears started to bleed. After a moment the poor fellow fell heavily on his side and gave up the ghost. For spacious rustic table covered with antique white linen cloth, fit and guests, and hosts. From somewhere stove jumped gray fluffy cat arched his back, stretched over body, sat up, licking his paw and wiping her funny little face. - Look, halyugan, guests namyvait - laughed my grandfather - and the guests something expensive - mulberries. Hey, old, pour us a c. .. - Paul A. - Paul introduced himself. - ... Paul Andreyitch ... one hundred grams. - Ischo not drunk at all zhist? -Old woman, grumbling, yet took from some of the buffet-liter bottle of vodka. Put on the table, pickles, mushrooms, sauerkraut, potatoes and pan spray angrily out of the loosely veiled Cover the fat from the greaves. Grandfather busily poured in thick glasses precious liquid, a satisfied grunt and first raised the his glass. - Well, with an introduction, for the health of our dear guests! Tipping a glass in one gulp, grunted again, put your huge, potatoes and the nose piece of porous rustic bread and a mildly matyuknulsya: - Edrit your, uhh nice! Good for Grisha, learned to drive! - What is used well to learn, and then ... - Filed voice of an old woman, bustling at the stove. - Tsyts, I say. Ischo teach me to like. Spravno guy, I say, grown up: all it had to argue. A good wine each ... Duc, where do without him? With ustatku, Ali trouble some, and then - Here ... with joy. Am I right? - He turned to Paul. - You, Dad, give people something to eat. So tired go and the road, and adventure with them ... not a pleasant one - began a young daughter. Grandfather razulybalsya. - I love you, Nastasia, a light on your head, but for your kindness. I go and right, have a look, as our patient there, I bet kids something began to play, not doglyadyat. Yes, and Grisha something to be seen. It's time to b him to return. - No tights, you old. Kuzia does he go? Already seen on the road who raised him. Razi do you refuse? - Fine him an old woman accusingly shaking his gray head. - - - - To be continued Illustration - (c) Eugene Golyakov / Spencer Winset / Diamond Group. ----------------
