CHAPTER 3.                     
                                
Several thousand years ago, on 
on the outskirts of this galaxy there is-  
there was a case that later
dramatically changed life not only   
Jake, but also to the whole crew pa-  
Mine cruiser B25.         
Unstable star, blazing brightly -
la, in the spectrum of its radiation there were  
all signs of a nearby explosion.   
This star was supposed to be soon 
time to turn into superno 
I feel. And after a powerful explosion she 
will be reborn into a giant black 
a dwarf with a huge mass.    
The whole reaction began with how 
the star began to blaze brightly, increasing
diminishing and decreasing in size - 
rah. Thesepulsations did not finish off
the steady state of this star and
brought her straight to the explosion.      
After a bright flash, incredible  
quickly disappeared, the star turned - 
was turning into a black dwarf. Spectrum
its radiation was far from the limit-
apparently, it came from infra
red and beyond.          
At the moment of the supernova explosion,
there were many emissions of the most  
various types of matter, starting 
from white-hot plasma,  
ending with ionized electron- 
ny cloud. Scattering all over 
galaxy with low speed 
these fragments caused a lot of damage
yes to various planetary systems.
Some fragments cool quickly
or turned into a wonderful
enclosure of lava possessing   
huge mass and density.   
The sizes of these fragments reached 
huge values.         
But among the emissions there were not only
fragments that could be replaced
also in the most critical  
the moment of the supernova explosion,
there was a super-powerful emission of ionization
fused gas. The ejection path was
directed towards the center of the galaxy...  
 Having flown already not a small distance - 
niation, ionized bunch    
found himself in the path of a patrolman    
cruisersB25.                   
No visible changes B25 pro-  
poked by an ionized clot of ma-
teria at great speed and    
instantly flew through it.

everything would be fine, but this

Charged matter knocked down sensitive

 Chapter 4        
Norsel sat silently at the side  
computer and waited for the result-
calculation method. Applying the obtained 
information, Norcel will be able to store -  
live it into the Hyperjump system and
after five minutes of readiness, 
run it.                   
Unexpectedly for everyone, lighting according to
the whole ship went dark, blinked and
went out. The system started working
wogs. After working for a couple of seconds she
with low-frequency rumbling subsided - 
la. Many lights blinked 
on the remote control, then lighting slow
but it caught fire.                  
 Little by little, all the strange effects 
disappeared and a surprised sound was heard   
commander's voice:                
-What the hell? The ship is right on 
 falls apart before my eyes.          
Having turned on the diagnostic system,    
Norsel sent non-search command

I wonder what happened to    
ship.                       
The system has checked all sensors, 
printed on the display that everything   
systems are working normally.     
Half a minute ago by unknown  
the reason was an energy surge.     
-Commander, all systems are in order,
 - Norsel said without turning around.
-Howcalculations with hyperjump ?   
-Not ready yet.                 
-Restart the system.         
-Yes.                  
Clicking the toggle switch, Mink spoke
to the connection selector:               
-Nick, is the earthling getting used to it?     
-Yes, sir, it passed accelerated    
 language course and will be able to learn it up to - 
feel free to speak well.

-What is he doing now?         
-Eats the second portion of puree.    
-What an appetite.                  
-Sir, why did the lights go out?      
-Not known.

looked, his eyes were nowhere to- 
walked around the usual contours of the base. 
-Norsel where are we?          
-I don’t know, they should be near the base,
 but the instruments show unclear -

The captain barely raised his hand   
Mink turned on the warning system,
and said in a grave voice:    
-Everyone report to the control room
 , the news will be very bad.   
Having turned off the system, Mink is exhausted -
but leaned back and 
closed his eyes in exhaustion.

-Get up Jake, captaincauses 
 we're in the control room. - Nick's voice sounded 
   not very fun.  
Going into the control room, Jake saw that 
the whole crew gathered there. Appeared-

The faces of the captain and Norsel were

-Tell them, Norsel -said Ka-

Coming out of the wheelhouse, Jake could not hold back
Shis turned to Nick:          
-I feel like I have no more land  
 apparently! I bring misfortune   
 to the ships I land on!  
Walking towards the beds, Jake and Nick 
lay down, and following the instructions -

weight, but concentrated above the bed -  
an invisible force field was created,
which did not allow him to fly away, and
drove Jake back. Feeling   
zero gravity was wonderful, hang on

numb. Having done the same, Nick reports

closed his eyes. Engines obviously

about five minutes, Jake thought that 
it's worth taking a nap, because in this
position something interesting 
it's very difficult to come up with. Although   
Jake slept just recently.   
But a message from Captain Mink, co- 
completely encouraged his dreams of
returning to Earth. Before this   
moment, he didn't even want to think about  
to stay on the ship.  
Now that hope has returned - 
nia has completely disappeared, Jake    
thought that it would do well 
time on the ship. In his thoughts he is already
said goodbye to his home planet -
that one. After these events in the brain 
Jake suffered a fracture, and if 
he will be offered to stay for some time. 
a second time, then he will agree...
A clear train of thought was interrupted by a voice 
Nika: -Jake, are you sleeping?         
-No, but I'm trying to sleep.        
-Click on the blue button, on   
remote control where you turned on the systemanti-overload.             
-What will this give?  
-You'll fall asleep instantly.              
Pressing the button, Jake feels-
that he was starting to feel sleepy
stronger and stronger. Deciding that 
It's useless to resist, Jake 
I quit this activity and relaxed.

-How long did I sleep?       
-Eleven and a half hours, according to

, but he felt ashamed in front of himself
myself for the ridiculous prank.       
-Be careful - half laugh
            Nick squeezed out,
-the ship's gravity has been reduced-
sti.It is necessary to save energy -  
giyu.                            
Without waiting for Jake to land,
Nick turned and walked into the control room.
As soon as Jake's feet touched
floor, he did a step in the direction - 
nium to the wheelhouse. But without calculating, Jake
lifted himself off the floor and tangentially
noah flew a couple of meters in the direction
heading towards the door. Little by little     
Jake learned to walk easily   
low gravity conditions,
at a slow pace he reached  
door leading to the ship's wheelhouse.  
Pressing the button, Jake walked into  
cabinet, where everyone has already gathered     
command.                        
-Do you see the shapeless object?-  
 said Captain Mink.           
-Yes, Nick and Jens answered at once. 
-So, judging by the temperature data -

-That's it,-exclaimed Norsel,-  
someone is calling on walkie-talkie.      
Clicking on the buttoncall, Captain  
I was even more surprised.            
Front viewing panel soft  
faded, and on the black screen there is a belt- 
Vydzian sitting in the male  
nk room, behind some   
remote control.                        
In the background it was possible to
Yes:                            
 ZONDO9 BASE WELCOME YOU!  
After reading the inscription The captain is no longer 
I was so surprised when I heard the scream- 
grew up: -B25, are you blind? Without   
 call, go to dock, you

 system that first checks - the ship crashes, and only then    
 shoots.    
-We have great damage in the si-

 you need to dock the ship yourself.
- Great, come in after docking 
 to the high command compartment, 
report the situation.           
After these words, the Vydzian will turn off - 
cleaned your screen, and on the ship in 
space gradually appeared and bes- 
shaped object.               
Obviously he started to act and 
enabled the gateway system, so 
like a shapeless mass little by little- 
gu crawled onto the ship, opened
the gateway and the ship sailed inside.  
Having passed through the darkness, the ship   
found himself in the airlock chamber.     
Yellow beacons hung on the ceiling,
which silently blinked. Through  
for a minute and a half they went out, and    
the main lighting came on.    
Only then, Jake, was able to dis-  
view the whole room.    
There's nothing particularly interesting about it -  
what I didn't see.                 
Incomprehensible me-
mechanisms consisting of many  
rubber hoses and a large co-
number of details from shiny  
material. In the center of the room, on  
the front wall was small   
door leading inside.        
-All guys, let's leave the ship.
 We were very lucky, we found the base.
Upon exiting the ship, Jake almost
acted that the force of gravity    
restored again in its pre- 
wah.                            
-Stay close to me.-Said Nick 
turning to face Jakey.   
Coming out of the airlock chamber, the whole
manda walked along a long gloomy
down the corridor. The ceiling is dimly light- 
flickering yellow quickly    
with light. They stood along one wall 
strange mechanisms emitting 
beams of white light.    
-Why is the light blinking here?     
-Virus destruction system,   
 bacteria andother microorganisms
 mov that sit on clothes and  
 inside our body.            
The flashing corridor is over, and   
began brightly lit more   
wide passage. On the right wall 
there were two doors leading inside  
bases. Without collapsing anywhere, everything  
we walked along this long corridor
ru.So Jake reached a fork. 
There the captain turned and walked into 
another light corridor. Passing   
through two doors, Jake saw    
low platform hanging in     
air.                        
There was a control panel on the bow  
and a little further there were tworow     
chairs. There were ten of them.     
                                
-Oh, what is this? - asked the question 
Jake.      
-Something like an earthly machine. If 
memory serves me correctly, the length  
 of this corridor, a little more than
 three kilometers.             
-Ha, wow, a boat.       
Silently, the three Vydzians sat down on
the front three seats, at that moment
when they climbed onto the platform
Well, she didn't even budge.      
-Sit down guys, what are you doing?-
 Mink addressed the two earthlings.
Climbing onto the platform, Jake   
sat down on a chair. Norsel, sitting like
usually at the remote control, press the lever
and the device rose a little

began to turn. Without slowing down   
speed the platform rushed by

-Nick, why are the corridors empty?  
not a single person visible?     
-Well, there are two reasons for this: Per-Vaya, most are on duty, and then -

-Jake-Captain Mink addressed,-

 please, keep quiet. And don't ask - 
 no stupid questions there.       
Jake nodded his head, showing  
that he understood the captain's request.  
The platform has completely stopped

went down to the floor. As soon as everything
got off, the platform rose and

Amazing technique, thought Jake
  - we are far from them.        
Captain Mink waved his hand indicating -

immediately went to the neighbor 
her room. Going inside, Jake
saw that he found himself in a huge -

The presence of pointed ears shows

There were a lot of people there 
most of them sat y     
remotes, and their attention was     
addressed to various devices 
located on the remote control.       
The captain stood near two warriors-

tall, but with a younger face. 
They silently began to listen to the report  
Captain Mink:-At the end of the second month of patrol-

 devices detected a strong explosion in
 several parsecs from us.    
The explosion was very powerful. A little 
 deviating from the course, we began to use

 A little further, we barely found    
living escape capsule with   
 unknown ship. How then 
it turned out that this capsule was ready-

 There was only one inside, great

The Captain gestured to       
Jake.                         
-I hope he knows our language?-   
 asked the young Vydzian.      
-Yes, he took a crash course and 
 will be able to communicate with you.-answered
 him Captain Mink.              
-Tell me, young Vydzian     
 contacted Jakey        
- let us know how you got to co-  
 Rabl Harkonen.          
Jake hesitated a little and said
the whole story from beginning to end. 
Two Vydzyanins listened not    
Jake's long story.          
-Yes, obviously, to the ship Harkone-
 Zombanoids have recently attacked. Only   
they look like lizards.-Said    
old man to young Vydzianin.    
-Captain Mink, one more question and 
 you are free: Why, you were flying   
 without call signs? Systems could   
take you for a meteorite and des- 
 activate.              
-We have a problem with the overview 
 screens and probably morewhere-    
 anything. On our screens the base   
 looked like a shapeless block
 stone. And we could not determine 
 coordinates. The stars were alien.  
-Interesting, interesting! You say-
 those stars were absolutely unknown
 who ?                   
-Yes!                           
-What the on-board computer showed - 
 ter ?              
-Coordinates are undefined. On ra- 
 there was only one object, k  
that's where we flew.            
-What the search system showed  
 faults ?               
-All systems were in order. - Okay, you rest for now, eh  
mechanics will deal with yours   
by ship.                      
-Don't separate the earthlings, let them   
 will remain together.              
Having said this, young Vydzyanin po- 
went to the control panel, at the other end of the ruble
ki.And the old man sat down in a chair,  
took a cigar out of his pocket, calmly
but he lit a cigarette and started having clubs
smoke into the wall.    
-Nick, where are y them cigars?
 Seal Jake in English.       
-Ah, this is from Earth, when I flew away, then
 I purchased a large batch for them.
 Now they make them themselves

no.                         
-What are our plans? - asked    
Jake and Nick, looking at him    
 with a questioning look.       
-First lunch, then entertainment.
-Hmm, I wonder which ones?           
-Let's look at some panorama-

So as not to get lost in the huge

they walked to the first door,

Going inside, Jake saw that   
they found themselves in a small room -
those without windows, stood along the walls  
tables with chairs. There wereon the walls 
very beautiful ornament, composition -  
derived from the correct geometries - 
cical figures. In two corners, stood
devices of unknown purpose.
-Jake, what should I order?      
-You know that I don’t know   
names of local dishes.         
-Here, this device will be for you
 a pleasant surprise.            
Having said this, Nick approached the unit
the one standing to the left of the exit.    
 - His memory contains two thousand -
 chi earthly dishes. It will satisfy
 any rypmaha.                
-Well, then a well-done chicken-ritzy, mashed potatoes, a little 
 stewed cabbage and orange

-It will be done in order to simplify 
I will order work for myself,

After working on the remote control, Nick entered  
data into the computer and became expected-

minutes there was a soft click
and on a special platform dis- 
appeared near the remote control
two plates with ordered dishes
, but there were no two glasses.      
-Hey, where's my juice?-exclaimed  
 Nick saw that there were no glasses.   
-Well, you'll have to eat in dry food-

one of the tables. From the side    
He took out two knives and two boxes

Turning to the device, Jake

-That's cute.

Suddenly, somewhere in the depths of the co- 
the siren started working. It was    
you can hear the sirens starting to sound-

the alarm reached the room where  
there were earthlings.             
A siren emerged from the ceiling  
similar to a police flasher. 
She blinked and a black man sounded - 
a long howl.              
There was a click and it was heard   
message in Vydz language:    
-Attention! Combat Alert.     
The base was attacked.

 Nick exclaimed, - we're still here

He jumped up from the table and ran up - 
pressed to the display on the wall.         
Pressing the button, he typed in    
keyboard the required code. Screen    
lit softly, and the green line-

divided the lines that marked the plan

flashing red dots, then    
fast flashing lights also came on  
blue triangles.             
After viewing this plan, Nick was surprised -  
whistled lazily.              
-Tyru business, y us Jake, 20% la- 
 grain towers are empty.          
-Well, if you are a sniper then let us

Nick turned and ran towards the two-

As he ran, Nick pressed the button you-

stopped abruptly, lightly breaking -  
while hitting the floor.        
The ship did not shake much, from -  
came from somewhere in the distancedeaf   
the hum of an explosion. From this push  
both earthlings were thrown off the platform
to the floor. Nick jumped to his feet -  
ran to the nearest door. Jake   
immediately got up and followed -

Jake saw four rooms crea-

in one of the chairs. On the head y   
he was wearing a helmet. Suddenly they heard
shots, obviously from a cannon      
which was controlled by this Vydzian.

All this happened in one instant -  
It's a shame that Jake didn't even have time   
figure out what's what.          
Somewhere from the side a shot was heard

for a moment you might have thought,  
that everything will work out, but suddenly   
the ship was covered with a plump cloud-   
crimson color, which    
quickly turned into orange    
clump, almost faded    
very instantly. After the explosion    
Jake saw that in place of the co-   
the ruble remained a pitiful fragment,   
which quickly, circling around sleep-  
rally-shaped trajectory, flew off   
awayfrom the base.

and the long rays seemed to hit  
into the ship, but it abruptly turned into

The ship's cannon reacted by -

fired with a bunch of rays.        
Results from these shots

Jake sent a second portion

went into space, but the other part   
hit the stern of the ship. This one

When his vision returned   
space was empty.

Hardly catching one of the bark-

The ship, as one would expect,
obediently veered to the side, but

shots hit the edge of the ship. 
There was no explosion, just
