    "... We are hungry to build and help us live,

     it takes us as a friend, and calls and leads ... "


               (Harhanskaya folk song)


    Before you start publishing stories,
kindly told me by Cruz in
during his last visit to me for
another party "dark" TAOPiNa (on
Harhane, trading Tula beer, Cruz made a fortune), I must submit
You my friend ...

     Cruz - the usual alien from the planet Harhan. Curious how 
all the aliens, and voracious, like all harhantsy. Eager to try 
the tooth everything that comes their way. 

     And here, visiting me again,
in gratitude, Cruise told
me the story, tells about his adventures on a planet. Record 
had to run a story and therefore I ask sorry if my story will 
seem you are chaotic and unstable. In addition,

I took notes from a third party in order not to
impression that all this happened to me.
So ...


                  *


     ... Cruise ship with such force shmyaknulsya on the 
planet, that in my head dizzy. Consciousness returned slowly, 
very much like to have (though it was normal state Cruz). Few 
ochuhavshis, Cruz decided to look around. From the ship there 
was one big cake. "Strangely, I generally remained intact, "- 
thought Cruz digging in the rubble, who wore once it

among the stars, hoping to find something
tasty. But instead, he found
metal detector, purchased at a bargain price
on one of the planets. "Useful" - decided
Cruz, putting the unit into the bag. But eating
like all the stronger, and hungry Cruz with
triple energy began to throw right and left
pieces of skin. "Damn, I do not parachutes
it, "- said Cruise, when, after prolonged digging drew a large 
parachute failed to open during the" landing " on the planet. 
"Well, nothing," - decided to Cruise, "You'll still serve me." 
Desperate to find a anything edible in the remains of the ship, 
our astronaut decided to explore the planet on which it has 
brought, and if lucky, and eat ...

Many reels on the planet plunged Cruz
great sadness. The trees were so strong that the jaws crunched 
plaintively, water to drink was impossible, moreover Cruz

could not swim, and the mere mention of the fact
that can fall into a lake located
nearby, causing jitters. And
lake dwellers did not want to go for lunch,
Moreover, the huge fish, bounding
out of the water themselves were ready to eat
Cruz. With spiders crawling around, too
nothing happened. Their bites were so painful that at the time 
Cruz even forgot about the famine. "URA !!",- yelled Cruz 
pleased to find among the trees small shop. What was his

disappointment when a nasty seller
did not even want to talk to a stranger. The softest its 
expression was "Piss off". Going a little further Cruz

found a bulldozer, standing alone in front
the door closed. "What a pity that I do not eat
Bulldozers "- thought Cruz, returning
back to the wreckage of the ship. My head was buzzing,
and his legs gave way, half-dead when Cruz came to a landfill. 
"Classical cesspool, bad ...",- zaurchal pleasure Cruz. Plenty 
strengthened by a stranger found among the remaining non-edible 
waste a rusty shovel. "Give - take," - muttered, Cruise, for 
which now the main problem was the return of the native Harhan. 
Putting a shovel in a bag, pleased and satiated Cruise went on. 
More hours fiddling with it rusted mechanism

elevator, but he refused to submit kakielibo signs of life. "To 
hell with it," said Cruz, remembering that far from the store 
saw a strange step in the trees. With a full stomach jump was

Several uncomfortable Cruz several times
broke and fell down, but it saved the parachute. "Although 
right now from him is good, I thought, pleased with Cruise. 
Finally, climbing on top of the tree, going on the roof of the 
store, Cruz hardly jumped to a neighboring tree. "This is what 
I need!" - He exclaimed, discovering the oil can, full of 
flavored lube. First Cruise decided to eat it, but, having 
thought a bit, decided to smear her a lift, can help. In

the bag was no longer the place, and the evil Cruz
cursing himself for slow wits, tears
from the tree, laid out in a conspicuous place a shovel,
and muttering something bad to
his "harhanskom", jump up the stairs. Putting grease gun in a 
bag, Cruz drove me to the elevator. Emptied full capacity at 
the rusty gears, he was pleased to hear gnashing of gaining 
speed hoist. Throwing became unnecessary nipple and zaprygnuv on

site, pleased with himself slowly Cruz
swam upward. Upstairs, he found strong
site, a strange-looking hooks that are attached to the ceiling 
of the dome and cabin, as if hanging in the air. "I do not 
doprygnu to her," - Cruise thought, but there was nothing.

A run (do not forget the parachute), and jumping,
Cruise, of course, did not reach ... Feeling
under a footing, he sighed quietly.
Platform was invisible! Only it's his and
saved. Reaching the booth, Cruz knew he was standing in the 
teleporter old model. This on its own Harhane were already long 
since been discontinued because provide teleportation just one

direction, and even then not always the case ended smoothly. 
"Whether that will be decided ...", Cruz and pressed the button 
teleportation ... 

     Move completed successfully if
Apart from newly formed sense of hunger.
Cruz stood in the middle of the wooden bridge,
he was surrounded by boulders, and overhead
rustled the trees. Driven by hunger, Cruz decided to run to the 
left. In the forest, not There was nothing interesting, but on 
the edge there was a strange assembly. "I'll eat it" - decided 
hungry alien, but an electric shock permanently banished 
appetite. We will see inedible machine, Cruz walked on.

Before his eyes appeared a nice meadow with lush grass. But, 
oh, my God! Food was on the other bank. Hunger gives strength 
and courage. Run, Cruise jumped ...

Chewing green grass, Cruz felt
itself is simply superb. But to go further
There was nowhere: passage blocked off a huge
boulders, piled on each other.
Cruz tried to move or lift,
but after hours of unsuccessful attempts had to
had to surrender ...
However, a full stomach demanded new adventures. Cruz decided 
to walk to another side. Passing the apparatus, so hostile 
response to attempts to eat it, Cruz angrily kicked a stone 
that lay in his path. To his surprise, the stone rolled freely. 
"Let It Be" - thought Cruz, pushing the stone into 
sumku.Proydya on the famous bridge already, Cruz saw an Indian 
hut, standing on huge high poles. All attempts to jump onto the 
platform, proved futile, and the cry of an Indian did not 
react. "Proud, the leader, probably," thought Cruz and 
continued his journey. Next the path forks. Stairs lead upstairs

a paved stone path was further ...
"Smart in the mountain will not go," - said to myself
Cruise and went straight. Oh, horror! Top, right from the 
ceiling, drops fell. "What is it a shower?" - Thought Cruz. 
Doubt it quickly dispelled ... As soon as the first drop

touched him, as Cruz felt that
an acid stronger than the strongest acid
he knew. Almost stretched out his legs,
Cruz rushed forward, trying not to get
a drop of poison. This breakthrough was rewarded: in the next 
room there were two large fireproof safe. How does it

frustration of our traveler, when he discovered that the first 
safe is empty, as his stomach, while the second hangs digipad 
newest system, which does not crack be identified. Had to 
return empty-handed. "Still, go" - I think Cruz, dodging deadly 
drops. We had to climb up steps. In the next room there was 
nothing interesting, except for the manhole upstairs. Jumped a 
few times, Cruz I saw an ax. "Harakiri I do not want to, but to 
the contrary, the seller, I hacked to death" - has decided to 
astronaut and tried to shove an ax in her bag. Axe not climb 
... After several unsuccessful attempts to bury the harmful 
weapon in a crowded bag Cruise decided that would be nice to 
make the warehouse. A little thought, a place to store it chose 
on the bridge. Laying out there all subjects Cruz decided to go 
further, but at the same time to grab the ax ... Thrusting his 
ax into the bag, Cruise climbed further. His gaze was brought 
huge TV and a hatch on top. TV does not included, but could not 
get up jump. Cruz said the watchful eye of

at the top of nice houses. Cruz, they
more interested in gastronomy
point of view. On the ever-hungry stomach
seems especially fast, and within five
Cruise minutes from all ran for the left foot on the bridge a 
stone. It was still not over five minutes, and Cruz has brought 
zaprygivayem on cobblestone. With it, climb upstairs was hymen 
thing. After trying the houses on the taste, Cruz found them 
very enjoyable, but every bite they are staggered and cracked 
that look to collapse and bury under its ruins stranger, so

countries have responded to their beauty.
Spitting on the wall of the house, Cruz has gone further
right. Very soon, the way it blocked the wall, and beside her 
Cruise has found a coil of rope. The whole skein immediately 
migrated into the bag an alien, and Cruz had nothing to do but 
to go back. After jumping through the opening in sex, Cruz got 
on the runway. "Well," - thought Cruz - "The runway is there, 
it remains to find something capable of vvzletet here with me. 
"But there was nowhere further to go: in front of them yawned 
the abyss." Before you jump, you need a parachute "- thought 
Cruz and ran to the bridge. With the parachute behind Cruz felt

a much more confident, and therefore safely
jumped off the edge of the runway. Feeling under the feet of 
solid ground, Cruz looked around. He was standing in the 
teleporter newer model, capable of moving in two point, but in 
one direction. Cruz was a familiar with this type of 
teleporters, and knew that the direction of movement are 
indicated with arrows on the wall teleporter. Without 
hesitation, Cruise pressed the button teleportation ... and was 
on the roof of the store. Complained that it is not an ax, Cruz 
went to elevator in order to learn the second endpoint

teleportation. All the way to teleporter without incident, Cruz 
stood under another arrow and hit the button ...

He ended up in a secret room with two nut, one of which was 
himself, and on the other lay a magnificent diamond drill.

Soon after the drill has migrated into the bag an alien, and 
Cruz started thinking, how would him out of here. But before he 
could do and a step as the floor beneath him collapsed ... Do 
not be a parachute with him, Cruz would have suffered the fate 
of his ship. And so, slowly going down, Cruz began to think 
that would be drill ... Passing by an Indian, Cruz

remembered the futile attempts to get him
and ran to the bridge over the rope. After making a loop, Cruz 
threw it on a hook at the top and easily flew to the platform. 
But Injun is not attention to him, that would not Cruz

said. Angry, Cruz almost forgot
on another hook, next to the first teleporters. Grabbing a rope 
and a parachute Cruz rushed to the teleporter. Throwing rope

hook, he practiced movement swung
the gap to the adjacent site. Nothing interesting, except the 
barrel there is not revealed, had to climb even higher. There, 
beneath the dome, Kruse managed with great difficult to remove 
the hook from the ring. Setting the hook in a bag, Cruz felt 
that on such works very hungry. Remembering the closed door on 
the left, Cruz pulled back ... "I feel that there is something 
to profit," - he insisted on the run. Almost fell into the lake 
from predatory fish, Cruz finally ran to the door. But during 
the absence of no change - the door is not opened. Suddenly, a 
hungry look Cruz fell to the bulldozer. After several fruitless 
attempts to eat it Cruise climbed inside and stepped on the gas 
... Bulldozer drove ... "Hook!" - Flashed

head Cruz. Jumped out of the bulldozer,
He hitched a flash hook to the bulldozer. More
minute, and the heavy door opened. In spite of the electrical 
discharges were selected last ounce of strength, hungry alien 
rushed into the tunnel behind the opened door. A few minutes 
later, sitting in a full barrel with rocket fuel and sipping on 
sip, Cruz noticed a strange pobleskivanie in the corner. 
Quickly finishing his residual propellants, He threw himself 
into a corner with the hope of profiting More than anything for 
a snack. But this was only the electronic key from the 
teleporter another model, rather than come across it before

so far. "We seek," - said to myself, well fed and cheerful Cruz 
went back to first teleporter ...


     Returning to the bridge, he remembered
diamond drilling and decided to take revenge on fraudulent
unit, so unfriendly "trahnuvshego"
its current. Approaching the car, Cruz decided to
at all costs to drill a hole in it and see what's inside her. 
But the assembly did not yield. With anger Cruz bore drill into 
the ground to the left of the unit, and, oh, miracle in the 
land formed smooth neat hole, resembling a well. "There is no 
bad; no good "- thought Cruz and, taking on

Just in case the parachute and jumped down ...


                  *


     Cruz finished off the remnants of beer, a sweet yawned and 
stretched. "Well, I have to go with ...",- difficulty 
pronouncing the words, "he muttered. "I do not understand" - I 
replied - "And what was Next? "." Oh, it's very long and 
interesting history, "- said Cruz -" But the beer is already 
ended, and getting light outside the window: it's time home 
...". I'm only now able to break away from their records and 
was horrified to notice that been the morning. "Well," - I 
said, "But promise me that next time you tell me everything 
until the end! "." Agree ", - Hurried Cruz - "And now I'm 
gone.." He climbed onto the roof of my house, where parked his 
spaceship, which, according to his assurances, he ran away from 
this strange planet. 

     Sleep in the day I no longer wanted
absolutely. I always think back to the amazing adventures of 
Cruz and I look forward to his next visit.

I am sure that by the time the next
magazine, I will already note
the continuation of this story.


     Yes, I almost forgot ... Cruz before leaving asked me to 
convey greetings to all readers Tula first electronic magazine,

I'm happy to do.

     And all the greetings and messages to the Cruise can be 
sent to the address of the editorial board, I they always tell 
him ... :)
