_

- Hmm. - Said Green.

   - That's just it! ", - Said the Red.

   From the Blue heard dimensional
pohrapyvanie. The conversation clearly flagged.
Universal boredom increased the sun, sweeping from east to west 
every 1 / 50 fraction of a second. A herd of hippos from the 
76-th ring-world, drifted in the sky, strengthened general 
drowsiness. Gang the latter, bawling wildly song. "Devil

here - the devil out there, life is like a dream -
deception. "drunkenly staggered
proprygala to the south.

   - Here's take the latter -
Green resumed the conversation - because it was
time when they were not, as it probably was! No drunken antics, 
no spherical indentations in the soil, or falling from the sky 
hippopotamus. 

   - No, - said the Red - judging by the
ancient annals, to the last were the people. They were all 
monsters, they walked on his feet and instead of neat lunochek 
past left behind a nasty curves and the oblique tracks. 
According to observers, booze - it is purely their invention. 

   Blue stopped snoring.

   - Exactly! They were strange creatures
Green went on to establish a dialogue -
I heard that they were talking all at different
languages, how can they understand each other?

   - To do this, there were special
compilers, translate them to the speaker
universal and back again, and if my memory serves me, the 
universal language called assembly language - including in the 
conversation Blue. 

   - Observer said that somehow
very long ago, when he was still a trainee, his predecessor, 
nazyuzyukavshis, told him that there was a tribe of people, 
calling themselves the encoders, and if They spoke only on this 
very assembly - put in red. 

   - On the birthday of Violet mutant
The observer, having reached the condition, in all
throats yelled: "You do not Prugh! Pslednih
ssozdli not colored, and vlikie forest.. "Perhaps he was 
referring to those here coders - flashed his erudition Green - 
presumably they were more developed, than other members of 
human race. 

   His speech was cut short, his gaze was fixed somewhere above 
his companions. Let us follow him, he saw red in the flickering 
light of the sun rippling wildly nosivshegosya silhouette of 
young of the latter, closer to them. Not far from it could be 
guessed the outlines of his faithful companion - a 
hippopotamus, follow him to the minimum height.


   From the general torpor brought their peaceful snoring of 
Blue, which they have together lead to a working state.


   The latter, meanwhile approaching.
That's already become visible in every detail
his huge eyes with no less huge
pupils. Soon became visible small
psevdonozdri located above a giant frog mouth. Finally the last
has to stop, jumps to become
shorter and shorter, and here he is jumping
in one place, with each stroke of increasing spherical imprint 
of his body in a dried soil. Slightly behind last heard the 
characteristic sound of the landing hippopotamus (a cross 
between a jet engine sound stops and the cry of a male baboon 
in the marriage period).


   By that time, Blue was already in the normal
and they recited in unison: "We welcome you, premnogouvazhaemy 
last!" and got an answer: "Hello to you, no less distinguished 
color! Not found Do you have a couple of boxes of beer for 
traveling last? ". 

   Usually, they drove beggars in the neck and
very cherished their holdings, but on the street
was perfect weather, annoyingly on the horizon a herd of hippos 
disappeared in an unknown direction, the frenzied

the sun was barely visible from behind the clouds, turning a 
thick cotton blanket the whole sky, and the nearby valley was 
filled with a weakly phosphorescent fog, from which every now 
and then peeped dark-blue sea giraffe's head.


   - Maybe! - Began to Red, he was in charge of their stocks of 
beer - it depends on what can you offer us as a fee.


   - RM ", - said Blue, it just like any other blue, did not 
want anyone to share their beer. 

   The last time caught the reaction of the Blue.

   - I am a humble traveler - began
He - and I have nothing to pay you, but I could
to tell you many interesting and
true stories and facts about the past and not only.

   - Very well, - said the Red, taking
boxes with excellent beer - we just
very necessary explanatory source.

   - I also agree with this - said Green, pulling out of the 
box a couple of bottles - I've always wanted to learn more of 
the latter. 

   - Strongly protest! - Roared
Blue, he got only one bottle
but no one listened, everyone listened
the latter.

   - Long ago - began the last, putting into his vast mouth 
unopened bottle of excellent beer - a long time ago, when the 
sun in the sky moving very slowly, there are some beings, 
calling themselves men. 

   - I thought you would like to tell us about
past - roughly interrupted Blue, reaching towards a new mailbox,
but then he got a present from the Red in
the empty bottles have hurt him
the brain.

   The latter, meanwhile, as if nothing
never was, continued.

   - As you probably know, among people
there are some coders are essentially
These were the same people that differed from the others only 
in that their favorite pastime was coding. Coding means roughly 
the following: communicating with a certain ritual and mythical 
device known as a computer directly in the language of the 
computer itself. Possible to determine the coding is not quite 
true, as has passed since a very long time, but the main thrust 
of approximately follows. So, in the process of coding is often 
created by computer games that people with relish playing 
together with their computers. From the standpoint of

the latter completely useless occupation,
although the latter may owe their
namely the existence of computer games.

   The latter drew from his extensive
mouth all the same unopened bottle
though this time it was empty, handed it to Red, who also 
headed the and empty packaging and received from him a new one,

which was immediately absorbed into a bottomless
mouth. A similar operation done and
Green with Blue, the truth of their empty bottles
were deprived of tubes, they are spat at
aside.

   Weather in the meantime all improved,
the sky was covered with thick black clouds of electrified, the 
sun does not become evident, and all plunged into the gray 
gloom, now and then slotted flash huge lightning. The nearby 
valley was now filled with a dense layer of fog, brightly 
glowing green cold. From him now stuck with a dozen blue

marine animals giraffes, often razzevavshih mouth in a silent 
scream and time occasionally glancing in the direction of the 
company in search of scrap metal in the form of tubes of beer. 
Gridlock has increased rapidly, so they were undoubtedly 
pleased. 

   - History does not mention what happened later, but 
referring to some facts can be suggest that there was a 
cataclysm which caused enormous both surface and internal 
changes in the solar system. Motion of the planets sped up many 
times, the moon, unable to withstand such overloads, split into 
two parts. Due to multiple acceleration of the Earth's motion, 
the majority of ground structures were destroyed, lots of 
people died. 

   - Yes, indeed, in most
his people were little developed and short-sighted, and then 
they would not have to build so- many fragile buildings - 
concluded Green. 

   - But it was not the worst, such
disaster, although to a lesser extent, already
happens to people, and they were to them in
somewhat prepared. Most
worst was this: under the influence of some still unknown,
Forces stories computer games have materialized in 
indeterminate space-time intervals, representing a certain 
similarity shady spaces. The connection between them and the 
main reality taken place through the usual zero-channel 
transporter. 

   Last completed another cycle of absorption contained in a 
bottle of beer and started a new one.


   Flashes of lightning became more frequent.
From time to time to pour over fresh gust of wind 
indiscriminate. He started to drizzle weak, similar to the 
dispersing mist rain.


   Sensing the smell brought by the wind
scrap metal, sea giraffes became impatient, which expressed 
their in short sorties out of glowing fog.


   - Yes - only able to say Blue,
swallowed at the same time a quarter of the box.

   - As you all probably know, the imaginary
septum between the space and shadow
subspace is very weak and unstable, one might even say 
transparent. For a real hero to overcome this obstacle there is 
no difficulty. 

   - So they climbed all those where -
put to store up to this silent red, spitting out a dozen tubes 
in the direction of green mist.


   - Quite rightly - delicately
said the narrator.

   Cork disappeared completely impenetrable luminous mist, and 
from the place of their fall was heard scuffling nervous and 
gurgling voice delivshih extraction of marine giraffes. 

   - As a consequence, created a large
confusion on Earth began walking around
vseobraznye monsters and freaks, people began
fall into the shadow of the subspace.
Then people are not aware of the existence of recent and 
non-ferrous and considered themselves of higher form of life. 
They did not come from subspaces are reasonable, and perhaps 
living in general, people are very frightened of their 
independence and moguchest. And they began to think how to get 
rid of this whole army without case loafing Titans.


   - So were these animals as well,
that they all died - thought aloud Green.

   - Pretty soon, they allowed this
problem. Once the restoration
destroyed buildings were completed, they
created a special front organizations, whose main task would be 
to tracking of all subspaces in

Actually, this organization was to
cleanse the land of heroes materialized computer games and 
create a hard control over all subspaces. So

Centre was established tracking subspaces of computer games, 
abbreviated - TSSPKI. In rasporezhenii TSSPKI were

all the computer characters, as well as a direct access to all 
the shadow subspace. All the characters contained in the 
barracks at TSSPKI mode, more like a prison conclusion.


   Last completed to convert the contents of another bottle and 
began to was for the next one, but there was a slowly growing 
buzz energostaticheskih biodvigateley, and he postponed it to 
the top times. The unexpectedness of Blue even dropped the 
unfinished bottle mouth. The roar of those time grew, and now 
it is absolutely clear that this buzzing biodvigateli Pink 
Crocodile, one of the most dangerous hunters of glass. 

   It is not necessary to describe the panic
among the colored, who took shove
empty and full bottles of all kinds
elyam and holes.

   Pink Crocodile, sensing easy pickings, slowly began to 
approach, filling it to the right then the left engine. 
Generally Pink Crocodile was a pretty a strange creature, a 
detailed examination of his so far no one has. On it was only

known that he hunts for the glass
and a distant relative of long ago
extinct green floating crocodiles and
differs from them only in color and the presence of the right 
and left sides of special devices to create the necessary

Thrust for the flight, similar to biodvigatelyami
behemoths, but differs from them,
biodvigateli that hippos are working quietly and have a greater 
thrust-weight ratio. 

   Meanwhile, the situation escalated all
more and who knows what would have ended the case if it had not 
intervened invaluable assistant to the latter - the flying 
behemoth. Immediately assessed the situation, he quickly 
dispersed the engine, shook profusely covering its raindrops 
and soared into the sky sparkling with giant zippers. Pink The 
crocodile did not immediately appreciated the impending danger 
and continued his movement to towards hiding their stocks in 
color. 

   Hippos It is called the kings of the skies
- Maneuverability, speed, load it was not equal. Even eared they
superior in many ways. AND
No blaring Pink Crocodile them was
not terrible.

   Likely Behemoth do not just have to deal with pink crocodile
as he, nor how many no doubt, made a masterful maneuver was 
right hovering over the crocodile began to feel

some danger from the Behemoth.
Unravel his intentions, he tried to escape, but it was too 
late, the behemoth off the motor and a stone hit at the 
Crocodile. And is calculated as the Behemoth Pink Crocodile did 
not have sufficient capacity and carries the weight

Behemoth (7m) started very quickly approaching the ground, 
screaming helplessly overloaded engines. 

   Do fascinated watching this short air battle color sank
pivoperekachivatelny body, when two
Flying giant, embodies
good and evil, locked in a scream and
humming room, crashed straight into phosphorescent fog, thereby 
breaking up a flock of Marine giraffes, built there after

lunch and maybe dinner.

   - Extend, honorable color,
said the latter, watching as Hippo
slowly, back to them, dispersing
bright-green mist.

   Color recovered only when the Hippo, as if nothing had 
happened, izdal specific sound and landed near from them.


   After receiving another batch of beer, the latter to 
continue the story. 

   - For the blind TSSPKI doing peacekeeping and liquidation
unrest in the subspaces of computer games.

   - And how coders - intervened Green
- How could they allow this, because,
I think they were on the side
Computer Heroes.

   - Yes, the coders were really on their
side, but none of them knew about the plans kovarnyh people 
from the Center, and many of coders in the dark, working in

TSSPKI as consultants. Gradually, most computer heroes were
reserved for TSSPKI left all sorts of images entangle and force 
attached to TSSPKI. There was even a profession - a hunter of 
computer heroes TSSPKI hired for a good reward for all comers. 
All stable interdimensional hole controlled

TSSPKI staff, so as not to allow
Computer characters navigate subspaces.

   Around this same time last,
lived if only in his podprostranstve, continue to develop 
zero-channel transporter and started to his trial. At his trial 
there was a terrible tragedy, the first test was captured by 
the energy flow of the zero channel. He was thrown into one of 
Shadow spaces earthly level (Ie, having direct contact with

Land). But his troubles did not end it.
Is now known to last quite
lose their memory, incurring zero-particle irradiation, 
harmless for any other life forms. Modern teleportatory provide 
protection against zero-particles, but that, first, 
zero-transporter was not even the most simple screening and, as 
expected, the latter found himself face to face with the 
problem of lack of memory. 

   Everyone knows that we - the last
very active and can not sit long
without cause, not the exception, and that was the last one. 
Resigned to loss of memory, he began to explore a subspace in

which fell. History does not give us an exact description of 
all his wanderings, though fairly well known, that after many 
adventures, past all the dangers he reached the stable 
interdimensional hole, one of those that bind Shadow of the 
subspace with the main, axial space. He had no choice

to do but jump into it. And he
jumped. And he was brutally zalovlen secret agents TSSPKI what 
he was overjoyed as he was doing anyway nothing. Its quite 
satisfied with the prospect of work computer hero, and he did 
not oprotivlyatsya.


   But TSSPKI was a front organization and
heroes are there not working, and kept. Not
escaped this fate and he was. Time passed, the work was not, it 
is increasingly covered dust.


   But behold, one day, he was summoned to the boss to get a 
very important assignment. He even gave a strange name - The 
latter, whose values ​​did not know no. It is from this name 
and gave its name to the last race, but it was much later. And 
then, on the fingers of explaining him that his main task is to

return alive, he pushed into teleportator and sent to the 
dismantling of one of subspaces, which were observed some 
glitches. 

   So that the observer nothing says
the latter created coders may idea
their name belongs to someone of them,
but no more.

He wanted something else to tell, but
the main user switch turned on a gray
box in the "OFF" and looked out the window. In the window was a 
road which, humming furiously, rushing a huge truck and small 
cars. In the window was autumn. Maybe there, in the window, 
its, user, have long been waiting for someone. Perhaps it is his

 Last chance. Last chance.
