  (C) Andrei Kazakov, 1997.



  Heavy Fighter class "Land a runner"
left hyperspace near a small
Tiosina planet. Nuclear turbine gave back
volley and the ship, flying a little bit of inertia,
metering. On the matte-black casing of the fighter
slightly glistening rays of the white dwarf - stars Enel, 
generously darivshey photon fluxes eight animated planets of 
this system. Fighter slightly turned to the star, and at its 
lower fuselage broke gold emblem:

flash of lightning and an ear of wheat against the silhouette
Des planet. Under the emblem, the three inscriptions: "Des
Confederaiton ", just below the" DDS of Des 8'th elite divizion 
"and the type of ship" BLACK STAR 18 ". 


  In the cabin, half asleep, a man was sitting, waiting, when, 
after the intergalactic transition board computer restart the 
program. Prevailed in the cabin broke the silence and twilight 
only red lights running 4 hard drives that are quiet rustling. 
Finally, the lights went out, and a pleasant female the voice 
on the hecto-lostnyanskom language said: 

  - Amiga de rules.

  Rayfus (the so-called pilot) turned on crack.

  - The system is installed.

  The pilot, holding the wheel with one hand, sent
ship to the star. Steel hulk dutifully turned around and slowly 
picking up speed, moved to the white dwarf. 


  - Attention! Temperature exceeds overboard
acceptable norm!

  Rayfus activated BCS protection and even some
device. The ship immediately changed, bristled. Over all parts 
of the body at the distance of 2.1 mm mesh rose, gathered at 
the quark level, and reflecting energy. Below, in front of a 
docking platform, came out two electrodes and Collections 
converters. 


  When the ship came very close to the star,
on-board computer generates a signal, and the console
blinking green sign

            Fuel scops-generator on

  Rayfus sent a ship to the nearest prominence, follow the 
signs fuel. Frontal glass rapidly getting dark, until the 
computer is said to include multivizora. Finally, the fighter 
reached the fiery star and the tentacles started eager to draw 
from his energy. 


  Thundered around the ship explosions, plasma flows,
escaped from the heart of a huge nuclear reactor, ran down the 
body, but he steadfastly avoiding fiery messengers of the 
earth, a boat in a stormy, shtormyaschem

Ocean, tacked on the waves of the plasma.

  - Attention! CPU error! - Reported
PC all the same so-pleasant female voice.


  At the same moment the fire burst out of the room prominence 
and hit straight to the top of the right wing. The ship jolted 
heavily, launched and thrown into a fiery abyss, as a lone

autumn leaf in a hurricane. In the windshield hit
shards of a broken BCS-defense.

  - Warning! Damage to the right protective
systems - 30 percent!

  Computer quickly lined the ship and led to
safe zone. Here Rayfus remembered that the program support 
system "Fuel scoops-generator" designed for more powerful 
computer, which had to replace the conventional 100z.spu-laptop

(After attacking the old machine hardware
virus) and, consequently, 1h-processors there
simply emulate, resulting in a loss
sync! Swearing, Rayfus took the ship
to a safer place, wondering at
how much expensive repair cost protection to
Compared with synthetic fuel (Ministry of Defence confederation 
such things are not supported - would have to repair their own 
score!). Were dissatisfied with the result counts, he waited 
for the ship when the tanks are filled and the J-engine sent a 
ship to Tiosine.



  While approaching the planet covering the vessel has cooled. 
Now Rayfus admire the view of the blue-green planet, took 
almost all the windshield. Soon radar spotted the station. 
Planet Tiosina was not heavily populated and provided a

almost completely, so here there are at
much less than the merchant ships than usual. But
This time they did not exist! Finally, the station
found in the area of ​​visibility. It was an old Coriolis-70. 
He curled around a pile repair of ships. The station is 
surrounded by a squadron Police Viper'ov and 7367th Kotik'ov. 
Over entrance to the station was burning red inscription of the 
ban on docking. 

  - DDSWM8-NS234567127 requests permission to
dock - said the station Rayfus.

  - DDSWM8 ... 27 in the docking denied! Station
is in repair mode. Docking is performed on military space 
platform in the zone "Delta". Coordinates ...


  It's on the other side of the planet - Rayfus late for duty. 
Have to fly to the platform without having to go home. He said 
the computer course and the ship went to the platform.




  This was the last day of my duty! I do not
what-if "officer-supervisor" (the so-called
navigators, space stations or platforms
corrective docking, movement,
defense system, etc.), just our eighth elite division was in 
this galaxy at reorganization. Most of the officers went on 
vacation, but here, unfortunately, a drunken merchant "Finished 
off" the 70th Coriolis, and without needing repair. The 
Government requested our help to brigadier general, and he set 
here an old platform class "Microtetris" and

interchangeable group of people and Targon than we were
very dissatisfied. But as they say, against the authorities do 
not trample the more I was promised a month of additional 
leave. I have already filed a report for six months, for those 
four years while our Division in the galaxy DQ-19 stormed 
larnosteytskie building. When he returned the winner, a 
division of waiting Delivery of the latest technology.



  We (me and my partner Lisa Nayluf) stuck in
remote control for the fourth hour. During this time we
docked six trading and three warships. Now all was quiet. In 
the control room had a terrible fever. In the past duty broken 
air conditioner. Repair it, of course, nobody was going to 
(have also figured out the air conditioner to cram five 128-bit 
microprocessors, but those who are now no issues (this, like, 
amused deceased firm INTEL), and we were given in compensation 
on a warm box "COCA-COL'y. Moreover, the past was Targon on 
duty, so they are all the time chased hydrator air, and all 
premises have gotten damp - the stench was so that I almost 
sick in the beginning! Now we have become little by little 
accustomed. Do not worry, there are still two hours it was the 
last duty, and we have all been pofigu. 


  I sat in the chair of the principal operator undressed to the 
waist and alternately watching the computer, radar and a 
partner who was next to the post, which implies tracking

state of the platform and the missile defense system. Now
he was busy with business - tinkering with a screwdriver in the 
hydrator. Finally, he drew from his mother's cost and 
unsatisfied consider it. I'm on the board said six 1z-optical 
processors and Several gipershin, they are easily replaced. Face

Lisa began to shine, he carefully pulled out of sockets
single chip, and showed it to me.

  - You know what this is?

  - Gipershina - I yawned.

  - No-ee-t, is not an easy gipershina it
OUTSIDE-82523-GCH18! Problems revlaksatsii (from
hecto-lostnyanskogo "roar" that is "not working" - so in an 
environment of hackers called compatibility) 19 percent! 

  - You want to say that here is nothing but
this coupler does not deliver?

  - That's it!

  - Revenge!

  - Revenge! - We have u



latest banks.


  Once payment has been established in hydrator, Lisa turned to 
me. 

  - Do not you think that there was dry?

  - Yes, - I replied, drain from the keyboard connected to the 
server. 

  With the words "must include hydrator," Lisa pressed the 
button. There was a blast, fragments of the former Key Products

cut into the plastic housing
Safety requirements in the hydrator, the box went pairs - 
"COCA-COLA" saved the business: vozgaraniya nebylo.


  - It's wrong, - said Lisa.

  - It is not good - I repeated, seeing on the monitor
inscription Run time error. System halted (perhaps
central computer platforms and hydrator with
conditioned fed from one source Local-food), and calmed down a 
bit, seeing the information about testing of processors and 
addressable memory. 


  Less than a second joined the scheme
duplication. Box testing decreased
three times and moved into the top right corner
monitor. When all 65,536 test the
1h-processors and addressable by each of 2 ^ 512 Gb
memory, connect the main circuit. No
did not notice the incident.


  While we had fun, cosmographical sensing device (simply - 
radar) detected in within the area of ​​the platform two 
spacecraft. Computer immediately identify them. The first was 
Moury-619 with identities VT-confederation second, a little 
further, a military fighter Kotik-535sl18, the people - 
Eighteenth black star. Strange, but this machine was listed in 
our eighth elite division, and a new technique we have not yet 
received. I knew that this was not the bosses. 


  The first link on the left Moury.

  - Database-centric, vt-619 requests authorization
for an emergency landing! Distress: Exit
failure leading nuclear turbines, there are wounded!
Flow capacity of 379 foxes.

  The ship was moving pretty quickly. We, as the military, are 
seldom associated with alien ships and number systems (or 
rather, the alien ships we have seen mainly in the crosshairs) 
so I asked Lisa: 

  - How many fox Bodge?

  - I do not know - said Lisa, hastily thumbing through
directory.

  But neither the computer nor the handbook were not
familiar with this number system. Lisa frowned.

  - It seems that somewhere in 50-60 thousand.

  - He that ofigel? Docking stand a maximum of 250 kilobodzh, 
power receivers even less! Board vt-619, emergency landing

forbid! Docked to the docking platform
Gamma-20. Flow capacity of 100 kilobodzh!

  - Are you guys really have? With blown
reactor, we could barely soaked through 15, and you - 100!

  I looked sternly at Lisa.
 - Well, maybe vice versa.
 - Okay, board, enter through the power receiver
the way is clear, the expenditure capacity of 300 foxes.

  The pilot has tried to swear, but I turn it off, telling the 
computer about the upcoming docking. 



  Rayfus was annoyed. Coordinates, which he
received from the station were reversed: instead of dx ..
dy .. dz .. he was told dz .. dy .. dx! On duty, he almost 
opazdal, that is the dining room come he did not have time. 
Finally, he noticed a familiar image of the platform. Multi-ton 
machine of hung heavily over the planet, absolutely motionless, 
and friendly parking lights flickered. 


  Radar spotted a merchant ship. He walked to the dock first. 
The mood at Rayfusa very spoiled, after the docking sites 
station caught fire siganaly Lock off that is central computer 
platform could join Only one ship! "We need it so

lazhanutsya - thought Rayfus. The first day of the eighth
division, and late! Need to request an extraordinary mating! "



  Moury walked slowly to the power receiver, apparently, 300 
foxes - it's too little, but neither I nor Lisa was no hurry. 
Finally, the relationship released the fighter:


  - Black star 18 requires an extraordinary mating. Tale of the 
priorities of -12. Board room ... 


  That's where he lazhanulsya! He told a tale "
before we asked! Of course, if
We were some of the Coriolis Dodo, or that
worse Aykosom, we would have rushed, oblamyvaya all
the rest of his butt, but we have a military space platform - a 
priority of 20! If it were not air conditioning, and not the 
past duty Targon, he would be lucky, but now that chance, we 
could not miss. To someone it was necessary to win. 


  Lisa stared at me.

  - What a nerve! We save the poor fish
(Moury-619 belonged to Proulx from the ocean - a civilization 
living in the water), and he, you see, requires! 

  In a communication channel with Moury heard swearing mixed 
with a request to increase the rate of docking. 

  - Black star 18, cancellation of the extraordinary 
connections, the tale of prioriteteh - 20. Docking is performed 
in turn on the power unit. 


  The computer is docked ships. We are left with
on duty 10 minutes, we gathered and waited for the arrival of
shifts. Camcorder on the way to felling showed
three people: the first was our interim chief - Brigadier 
Captain Timbrik attitude second, well-known tech-nerd 
cybernetician Lt. Dmitry Gusev, and the third neither I nor

Lisa did not know. It was, like me, Lieutenant Brigadier, but 
for some reason, in dress uniform, pilots, truckers with stripe 
rating DEADLY. Dmitry and lieutenant were carrying on packaging

"COCA-COL'y.

  - Where is he dressed? - I asked Lisa.

  - Yes, it was a good shape - I said, wiping
sweat towel, but Lisa has not yet reached. "Black star 18 
extraordinary landing forbid!" 

  - A-ah, got it! - Lisa artificially provoked
congestion in the elevator leading to the wheelhouse, so that
could climb only one person. Rose
Captain. Then, quietly, completely cut off the elevator (it's 
our 8th Division was considered the most hospitable). Changer 
had to walk. We quickly passed the matter to Brigadier captain 
and ducked out sharply from here. On the elevator. 


  Prior to departure, a passenger ship was still
hour. Things have already been collected, I took a shower, 
changed clothes in "citizen." Soon I must go on

SOUR planet, where the rain in order to withdraw
vacation, and while there will need to take the party
new heavy fighters. On Earth, I was not
Five years have now in Europe in the spring, the end of April. 
I was given, nezarosshaya grass, birch grove, with more 
blooming foliage. 


  My nostalgic memories interrupted the message about the 
landing. Ship on which I had to fly, was similar to Anaconda, 
generating a VT-confederation, but on the body was a sign of 
"Tagonda Ltd. Among the passengers there were some sectarians 
cruises under motto (it was written on Loranskyi language)

"Freedom and equality HMS life forms, but
their belongings were carrying their "lackeys", ie slaves.


  Slavery in the Confederacy was forbidden. Planets, where it 
has been preserved, were not even the first level of 
classification, in severe cases, there entered the army. But 
loranskite sect case was delivered in a way that does not 
reproach, can not help it - democracy. 


  Upon entering the salon I immediately took a window seat and
pulled out his notebook. I was going to come on
Courses premiers, and this requires at least cook up some 
program and now I debugged a toy. In other words, 
multi-processor system based on Ausley need to know to and from 
the: contest 1200 on the place! Close I sat down with one of 
the sectarians. 


  Passenger ship slowly moved away from its docking station and 
went to the starting point giperperehoda. Behind him quickly 
fell in a police vehicle maintenance. Prelaunch Countdown. 
Synchronous volley of nuclear turbines, and Two ships instantly 
vanished in the darkness of space.

program and now I debugged a toy. In other words, 
multi-processor system based on Ausley need to know to and from 
the: contest 1200 on the place! Close I sat down with one of 
the sectarians. 


  Passenger ship slowly moved away from its docking station and 
went to the starting point giperperehoda. Behind him quickly 
fell in a police vehicle maintenance. Prelaunch Countdown. 
Synchronous volley of nuclear turbines, and Two ships instantly 
vanished in the darkness of space. 


  Ten hours giperperehoda! Heavy fighter overcomes the same 
distance in 10 seconds, but still the government does not 
disclose all secret turbines Thompson-Kergeyma.


  Service on board was good. Immediately
after the departure brought breakfast sounded nice
music, work multivizory over each seat.


  After breakfast, my neighbor called the "sender", that 
brought him to the computer. It was the thing! I such a thing 
could only see in the picture: full MF-protected line to 
200h-chips and complete separation of regimes in the 
microprocessors. Plus This eight-memory and hardware-based 
system of recursive division of tasks! If it were not for the 
danger of hacking, then this car You can put a server on the 
network type "tree" for the whole galaxy


  The motherboard would not fit in the laptop case and mounted 
in a portable minitauere. Immediately I was filled with respect 
for the sectarians - steep encoder! Me to pay to save for such 
a thing to 10-15 years, and not to drink, eat, work supervisor 
and take bribes. But how Once he turned on the computer, I 
realized: this is from a series of "money is - the mind is not 
necessary." 


  Everything started with the serial testing, ie one processor 
to test all the others and their memory, instead of every 
tested their area, divided into several (in each CPU was 64k 
registers type PC). And, of course, without activating turbo 
mode. 

  It threatened to drag on for half an hour, but after
10 minutes sectarians tired of waiting. He began knocking claws 
on the table and loudly cursing at Loranskyi. Finally he ran 
"sender" and pressed Turbo Mode button, previously received by

nape. A minute later the test is over. Sectarian
ordered that, as I could understand, he put a cool game. 
"Sender" said have a good game "DOOM", but it is an emulator 
IBM. They have been looking in the directory emulator. This was 
the file "ibm.usr", while they had four times to restart the 
computer. Finally there was a welcome sign:


     "IBM-EMULATOR (C) Kotik software"
(Ibm.usr / type [286,386,486,586, Pentium, Pentium
pro, 786,886])

  The last was a joke and the company was necessary for
In order to know approximately how many thousands of pieces
computers can be emulated simultaneously.

  But then again my neighbor kicked in DOS. Running the 
simulator several times and got all that The same requirement 
of entering the regime, sectarian unflattering words described 
the firm "Kotik software". Apparently dial mode or run "DOOM" 
specifically for the MF-lines under the virtual reality using 
multivizora, which, as mentioned earlier, was on every seat, it 
was not destiny, so the "sender" had run "Sextris". 

  Figures on the screen so slowly dropped and have been
so naughty that did not want to fill
bottom row in the glass. Finally fed up with sectarian
desperately trying to beat delivered by someone
previous record of 2 points. He pulled out a
tack and began to pick them in the ear, looking at the 
sparkling 10-th billions of colors inscription 

              G A M E O V E R

  Cultist gathered all his spiritual energy,
the energy of their ancestors and to run the game yet
times. Power of the ancestors came to his aid, and
Computer serendil four straight poles, but
the latter so badly caught on a vertically standing, then what 
is already no how. 


  Cultist pulled a nail out of the ear, and took the keys 
around the corner, began to hammer it into the table. But a 
nail, apparently, was not going to get into Aluminium tabletop. 
Finally, the plastic keyboard case is cracked.


  Making sure that no one saw the accident
(I pretended to be asleep), the neighbor turned off the 
computer. What it all ended, I never saw because I really fell 
asleep. 


  I woke up from a light push: passenger
giperprostanstvo ship left for 250 miles to the station and the 
Dodo is now slowly thereto moved.


  Near the entrance to the station was a traffic jam. Some
trader at Sudjeak-5 was deployed sail
right at the exit of the station (apparently wanted to
someone povypendrivatsya). Not designed, he planted a sail for 
fitting stations, and now his companion in Moury tried hooking 
Sudjeak rope, get him out. Near nervously twitched two

Police Sound de vipera. Conventional nuclear
turbine can not cope with the BCS-framed sails.
Unsuccessful tugging Sadzhika lead to nowhere. Finally Musical 
viper "sang melody of death, giving a volley of explosive on 
lasers sail Sadzhika. His friend pulled the remnants of the 
ship back to the station. 

  Tube rapidly resorbed. First entered without
turns three fighters, then Python and some Targonskii truck, 
then went on to dock the ship. 



  Was the third day of my stay in the SOUR.
Work here is almost not there. Order of
care leave has not yet come, and I, being the head of the 
department of material, was ensure acceptance of new 
technology, to drive it into hangar and no one to show. 
Yesterday came platform, it is unloaded. Now, technology

check the fighters put on OSes
new cyborg invasion, in short do pretty boring affairs, and I 
went fishing. 


  The lake is located near the base, but is there
fish here - no one knew. All whom I have asked in astonishment 
looked at me and asked, why should not I go into a store and 
not take it for free. In Des Confederation was

this respect, almost Communism, that is, expenses
to food, with the exception of the exotic, assumed the
state for all citizens of the Confederation of
tale is more than zero. This 97 per cent of the population.


  Fish, apparently in a lake not vodilas, for two
hours was not a single bite. Suddenly, my
PC reported on the call. Prohibiting the transfer of
images, I have answered the call. Rang my
Head.

  - Where are you located? What are you showing? Immediately 
come to my office! 

  - Videoskaner flew on a computer. Now
I will - I said, gathering rods.

  Quickly threw them into the car and drove to the base.


  This call did not promise anything good, but I
secretly hoped that the order came to withdraw in
vacation. I got to the camp for ten minutes and
immediately went into the office of the chief. His face
did not express any emotion as he gestured
invited me to sit in a chair. There was silence. It is evident 
that he is not going to tell very good news.


  - I gave your documents to the Ministry of Defense with a 
recommendation to increase and the actual receipt of the 
courses premiers. 

  - Thank you! - "I began, but he interrupted an ironic smile.

  - It was almost all good news. At the same time he was sent a 
report about leaving for vacation. Came the answer ... The 
order came to the Ministry of Defence, signed by the president 
himself, with a note of Defense. The recommendations will be 
taken in case of successful operation on zahvaty three planets 
with mad computer and subordinate military robots. In this 
report about leaving for vacation is rejected. 


  Of course, the direct road to the university with a score of -
it's cool, but the holidays! Although it is vacation.
Delivery of course, if you're lucky, and get the first level, 
and this salary increase of five times. Give me a personal 
fighter plane, I immediately spun. But this if successfully 
pass surgery. 

  - Specifically, what I'm going to do?

  - Wait, now, will approach the officer and all of you
tell.


  Entered the room a man in military uniform, fairly old, faded 
in the sun, but in good condition. His title was impossible to 
define - on the shoulder straps was the inscription "some", 
then there has permission to not disclose the title.

The same inscription was on the letterhead of the 
award-winning, dan and membership in the division. On the right 
pocket of his jacket was silhouettes in there once mark rating. 
This bird was coated with her next letters-"ELITE SUPER". The 
only that really gave information about the newcomer, it is

logo on right sleeve, signifying his membership in the Computer 
troops. 

  And yet, I immediately recognized him. It was Vaslui
Hakningem - about it a long time legends. For example, I heard 
that he received the highest rank - Generalissimo of 
Confederation, but then it was an impossible task that he had 
failed to meet the deadline.


  Said that he then commanded the 3rd elite division and had to 
destroy the remnants of Army Rullis - Emperor Rallofanskoy 
empire. Due to an error Intelligence too late found out that 
the troops Rullis exceeded our strength by 72 times. Vaslui 
ordered to retreat and started a guerrilla war. Loosening

Rullis, he spent a good storm. But, he
late for a month, then dropped to Wasley
Brigadier-captain. What is the title he had
now no one knew.


  Bright, calm eyes looking at me.

  - Come in a video, I acquaint you with the details.

  We entered the hall with a huge crystal monitor. Vaslui 
inserted into a computer quasiphotons drive, including pictures 
and began to tell the details of the forthcoming operation. 


  The roots of its history dates back to the first
tetraedornoy war. Somehow, a cluster of galaxies covered by the 
war, called a tetrahedron (Probably because the galaxies in the 
cluster, where Des was a planet represent themselves as

to the top of the pyramid).


  Tetraedornuyu first war of the Space
State Alain, whose origin and culture have not been studied so 
far, as a result of war, their civilization was destroyed. 
Alena began a large-scale invasion of the Commonwealth 
civilizations, which included many empires (in particular, 
Targonda) and the Confederation (Des-confederation 
multikonfederatsiya free planets, etc.).


  The fighting was already in the Des confederations and
Targondy. Des hastily studied the enemy fighters and using 
their technology is almost has already gathered first black 
star, in addition to this time was written by a new system for

computer - OS 0.1 Ausley. For the first time in history
managed to put a mathematical model of artificial intelligence 
Linsey on the computer. 


  The Confederation was preparing to give a revenge match, but
Targonda at the Council of the Commonwealth announced the 
availability of powerful weapons, effective in time-based 
stable worlds (where the time change is constant), which was 
then our universe. The weapon was based on distabilizatsii 
timeslots that has hit on enemy technology. In addition, it was 
assumed distabilizatsiya that will not allow to use the

giperperehoda method that was at Allen. In fear
before Allen, despite warnings
Des Confederation of the forthcoming Environmental
disaster, the Council voted in favor.

  Guns do not give the intended effect, but
environment of space has been thoroughly compromised.
Many of the planet descended from their orbits, most
Most of them died. There were areas giperuskorennogo and 
giperzamedlennogo time. Through boundaries of these areas 
giperperehod was impossible. Approaching ships were destroyed. 


  In such a time the ball was a galaxy
A-37.

  In this galaxy, there were some colonies of the 
Confederation. Path to them was through separately located 
stars Evtts. Around the star rotate the two planets, one of 
which has moon. Planets and the moon were prepared for life

on them by "Rafateks. On the planet is the base type 
"Microcosm-69. After Galaxy has been cut off from the outside 
world (of course, use ships generations none was not going to), 
need for these planets eliminated and forgotten. 


  Last space platform, aimed
to planets with food and equipment,
broke on a temporary barrier, but it is believed
that it intercepted the ship-slave robot
enraged computer.

  Reconnaissance robot sent to the star
brought about that the whole biorazumnaya
life on the planet is destroyed. We delayed
storming of the planets, as they say, to the last. The fact 
that scientists have analyzed and built forecast to retreat 
temporary barrier from the galaxy's A-37 in a year. 


  Reconnaissance robot two days ago come back
there. Colonies of the Confederation remained loyal to us
and during this time increased. But they make
attack squadron Empire Toristag.

  Empire toristoidov announced consolidation of the
an entire galaxy on the grounds that his supposedly historical 
control over it. Council civilizations did not comment, of 
which that aggression Toristaga our colony

will not be condemned. Similarly, in the event of an invasion 
toristoidov, nobody will be against early War with the complete 
capture of the galaxy. 


  Now, about the legality of our actions. After analyzing the 
historical facts and information obtained through computer 
Forces (Hacker), digging in the data banks Toristaga (Unless 
their server is not blocked access channels), we were able to 
establish that toristoidy indeed originate from this galaxy, but

can not claim it on total domination.
They belonged to the only two planets that they
abandoned due to environmental catastrophes and mistakes of 
their scholars, incorrectly predicted the quick destruction of 
the galaxy of A-37. Toristoidy fled on a ship generations in a 
neighboring galaxy of A-38, where and reached a high level of 
development. 

  Galaxy A-38, a wholly owned Toristagu is in a better position
to support the invasion of A-37 than our
space. We need to support colonies
transshipment base for rapid deployment of troops
a galaxy of A-37. To this base is the best suited system Evtts, 
which in this currently are operating a mad computer.



  - Why can not we throw the troops,
and forced to hastily send a small unit? To this there are two 
reasons. Saddle - yesterday toristoidy stated at the Council

Civilizations of the irrational use us
these planets and have demanded their transfer to them. Our
current capacity allows us to wage war
against all the civilizations represented in the Council, and 
it is likely that we will prevail. But we are a peaceful 
confederation, and it is not our method. We have stated that 
the planet is completely controlled by us, and the Council 
decided to send Civilizations there commission. Necessary 
before it arrived to restore order, but the transfer of large 
numbers of troops arouse suspicion.


  The second reason follows from the first, this is
that in these two days is a wavy
transition time from giperuskorennogo in giperzamedlennoe. A 
small unit just has time to slip to the planets. 

  Your task is to capture these planets as early as possible, 
but in the mind complexity of the problem, the time you have 
almost unlimited. Unfortunately we do not have time to provide 
you a new technique - the one that got your division is in 
caretaker status. In You will have space miniplatforma with 
docked her two bridgehead support the invasion UPPV-28 "for two 
hundred light robots in each. In addition, at each bridgehead 
has two plants for their production and autonomous production 
of armored vehicles in the base of the tank, K-202.



  Vaslui story broke included in the study
three officers, two men and one Targon. Around his neck
Targon I noticed a tattoo of "Corick commandos."

  It was last Targonskii Division, the longest-held against the 
offensive Confederation forces in a two-war. Troops

confederation of four elite divisions took Tagondu for two 
months. True say, that their basic framework and main 
plattsdarm soaked a hero in the old  Cobra MK-4, but I 
personally do not believe in these fairy tales. 

  Then there were several revolts, which were
brutally suppressed. The last one was broken Targonski 
battalion of the confederation. At the moment word for Targon 
Des Confederation and Tagonda are synonymous. Knowing

that they are - citizens of the state's most powerful union at 
one hundred percent discourages thoughts of independence. 


  Among those that were the same people I knew. This was
the same brigade lieutenant, whom I recently docked duty. The 
second was a girl in the form of a second lieutenant medical 
troops of the confederation. I wonder what she's doing tonight?


  - And this is your team - said Vasliy.Vtoroy
commanding officer Rayfus lenses. Its mission is to eliminate 
the subordinate space fleet enraged computer and air support.


  We shook hands.

  - Your doctor and technician cybernetician Lisa Saylems.
Programmer and technician cybernetician Un Tsoyr. They already
explained by their basic tasks. You have two hours to
fees. Goodbye. Good luck. - With these words
Vaslui out of the room.


  Two hours later we gathered at the launch site of the 
military base, threw their belongings into the familiar heavy 
fighter, and took us to Rayfus platform. Space miniplatforma was

close to the planet.


  The rest happened quickly.
Platform informed course, immediately made giperperehod.

  Aerospace defense of the planets was weak, so Rayfus quickly 
made his case: a small computer space fleet was destroyed.



  Now we have part of my work ...



  The cleaning process of the planets from the subordinate 
computer technology and the computer itself and is, both times, 
the plot of the game 


   "RETURN TO HOME. Part 4: Road into hell"
