           COMPUTER NOVELLA



     I opened my eyes. Through a small barred opening near the 
ceiling barely penetrated the dim light. Severely ill

bruise on his head. Chain of thoughts was interrupted
one another: Where am I? .. In a strange, distant,
God-forsaken planet. Without friends, without
food, without weapons, without any hope of
saving ... Earth ... How terribly far
it from me. A ship? .. Oh, my ship,
He is quite broken. Those damn robots
before anything will not stop if they are not
stop. But who will? I? He
who will die here in a few days.
Those who are now more than ever necessary
assistance. Need to concentrate. So that
do we have? ...

     In the twilight I could see
only a metal object and
a small puddle of a caustic substance that somehow dripped from 
the ceiling directly on this subject, burning spray

my bare feet. Coming closer, I realized
what a joke played by fate with me: it is
was an ordinary aluminum plate,
What is usually the use of prisoners. K
Moreover, the liquid dripping from the ceiling,
turned out to be nothing more than a caustic alkali,
which neither the fact that drinking in the same room for a 
long time is not desirable. Die of starvation I do not want to. 
I decided to look around closely, but apart from the bare stone 
walls around and sandy soil underfoot, no

found ...

     Tested the soil - wet. Mean
somewhere at the bottom you can find water! I started
furiously to dig the ground with hands, but after a few minutes 
of this work realized that his hands poorly suited for this - 
just in the blood not erased. Yeah, and it is on that? Taking 
the plate, things have gone faster. In a short time on an iron 
plate shvarknula hatch, which was hidden in the ground. Luke 
badly rusted, seen them a long time nobody used. All attempts 
to open it were in vain. I raised my eyes to the ceiling, and 
suddenly felt dizzy. Full of mind came to me in a telepathic 
contact. I was persuaded to do so dig under the wall of course. 
I was digging, resting and again dug. I thought that was about

seem lower edge of the wall, but it went deeper and deeper. 
Desperate, I returned to the hatchway and struggles pulled an 
iron ring ... 

     To my surprise, there was something snapped, and the door 
fell with a crash down from just a breath of freshness and 
coolness. Not hesitation, I immediately climbed down the dark 
track. And here I am at liberty! Thickly overgrown with weeds 
course, was hardly visible outside. I looked around. Around 
extended boundless desert. Alien "Sun" thick

naredkost generously. Very thirsty, and
I decided to find the hollows, and try to get a little water. 
But after more than two hours of realized that water is

not razzhiveshsya. But my efforts have not been
absolutely nothing. In the sand I found a note izmusolennuyu 
with obscure hieroglyphs and signs. Suddenly in my head was some

fog, and I noticed that I was starting to understand
this complex, like nothing on earth intricate text.

     It spoke of the startup password
of a spacecraft. Nothing
found more in the sand, I went to the south,
focusing on Oragonu, since it is
there could be seen glimpses of life ...

     My expectations were met. There I found everything about 
what can only dream man in my position. These were: toxic 
cactus pile of charred corpses and smelly acid lake. Around the 
grove of cactus yawned a deep cave, go down into that without 
some equipment would be not reasonable. Going a little further, 
I am buried in the unusual trading shop, realizing the exchange 
of any utensils. Trader - I looked at mine on their minds, ugly 
face, and as if reading my thoughts, he immediately offered me 
a small folding portable ladder, but only

in exchange for any thing. I looked at his plate, then on its 
stairs, shook his head and promised that he will be back soon. 
Dish can I still come in handy, but look for something in the 
organic remains will not interfere ... 

     On the square, more than ten square meters. m
of the things I think most survived, I still quite liked the 
new laser blaster, but he has been discharged battery. If we 
can somehow charge it, then I'll be presenting

some threat to his enemies and be able to
defend themselves in the end.

     On the way back, I saw again
recently found a note and decided to swap the stairs. But 
barely taking note in hand, she immediately crumbles to dust.


     Insidious star - Oragon made
the black business ... Inventing a small
trick, I still managed to get
ladder, betraying the ill-fated moneychanger,
who become angry and closed shop and fled in his jalopy into 
the center of the new commodity. I tried to get to the shop

but I did not succeed.

     Although, on the southern wall to my attention
attracted very suspicious hole ...

     I did not let the idea to explore
found the cave. Now, with a staircase
my ability to have doubled. First
thing I went into the cave and found
some items to work with active
substances. With their help I was able to charge
Blaster and then go to storm
shop. But, to my regret, the shop was too well fortified. Here
have more powerful weapons. But the hole pripodnesla me an 
unexpected surprise: in the middle huge shop was an old 
electroplating reactor, which required a small repair and 
filling of the new actuator. Acid I found pretty soon, the 
benefit of its there was even a dime a dozen. Poured into the 
reactor and including a large cutout on the wall. There was a 
terrible roar and gnash. Curl numerous gears and rollers. But a 
minute later all was quiet ... Mighty mechanism to make some 
global invisible work and stood up, fidgeting with steel

Cable on the rusty pulley. Maybe
I did something wrong? However, I had no choice but to search 
for yourself a more useful occupation ...


     Overall I am more and more often dikovennye different 
things. Oh, these guys would have seen rare samples of 
extraterrestrial Flora and fauna: those that are unknown to 
science, big beautiful butterfly, these gorgeous flowering 
plants tubular, these acid, all shades of iridescent

rainbow corals. Yes ... Bring at least
some of them to Earth - it would be a real contribution to the 
development of our future Science. But where to get the 
spaceship? .. Next I cut the road abyss, on the edges of which 
rises huge, three-girth trees. Climb

trees and found nothing, I saw
the same trees on the other side of the abyss. But here's how 
to get there, a mystery. Seeking a way out of impasse

I had to go back to the north ...

     Interesting thing - the tower, which
I bricked up, stands in the middle of the desert.

     Even if I manage to get out
her around some places impassable. Who
could have come up with this torture of prisoners? One thing is 
true, it was clearly not a humanoid ... 

     Poisonous cacti I have to touch with bare
hands did not, because I knew: a shot of their
deadly. But the lake has overcome quickly -
helped knowledge of chemistry. Having found an ax, I
already knew - where it can be successfully applied. Cacti - a 
key to the rescue! But there it was. As soon as I started to 
cut the cacti, like some vile slug crawled of them, neatly 
caught my ax ... corroded it - only cracklings spat

in my direction. It is evident the owner did not like uninvited 
guests. Oh well, Come get in the bank my friend - I thought of

iron door into the hangar. And here is just
had to use a blaster, so
as ax me no more. Although
this was the best option. As I just do not know? Goodbye 
forever green cacti ... In the hangar I found the e-mail

key and ship fuel - small
box with the radioactive ore. Still
before my eyes is this half-rotten
mutilated corpse of a humanoid, sprawled on the floor of the 
hangar. Passing through the corridor through a grove of cactus, 
I found myself in front the door closed. Where are you, my 
friend, acid slug? Search now wind

desert ...

     Poor slug was so frightened that
Now is not soon return to live back in
his grove. But help is not required ...

     The door was so rotten
inside, which fell from a small jolt.
I walked into the doorway. Wow! My
gaze appeared huge stone button. Such a machine and do not 
push. But my fears were not confirmed - in the northern

part of the wall slid a huge granite
block. And she awaited moment of joy! I went to an old abandoned
spaceport with standing, though
only, but the whole space
cruiser!

     Seems to fly from planet to me
It was still early, because I still do not
would be able to run it without knowing the password.
Perhaps, this ship is a kind of trap, especially left
Here robots. Could not they do not notice it and just give to 
the remaining living humanoids. No one can leave

planet. Robots keep everything under control ... A little 
thought, I decided to penetrate to the old base, located

east of the spaceport.

     On the basis I did not like. I
almost did not stay there forever. Iron
ax, and something about the password - that's all
I managed to get. But I do not despair.
Ax - it is a means by which I
could hack his way into space ...

     And so it happened. I soon found
wooden flooring and with a rope finally overcame the bottomless 
abyss. Then cut the cage, cut the door and knocked

tree. And now I'm racing in his cruiser home to his native land!


     Few critics.


     A few years later was written
this great game. It is as
would attempt to write in programming and the brainchild of 
famous game "REVOLT". The author himself would probably be 
wondering what his game found a second life in the "ORAGONe". 
This story does not accidentally reveal some Secrets in the 
game. 

     There are so many that it does not
Mass beauty of its logical entity.

     The game just teeming with puzzles and
is designed, of course, fans of the genre adventyurnogo and 
enthusiasts are able to foresee the course of events. Do not 
mistake to who do nothing. And it all started

with the correct software "paradoxes"
which are necessarily present in all
games. This was done primarily for yourself, and maybe not.

     You decide ...
