╔════════════════════════ ═══════════════════ ═══════════════════╗ ║ Hand-held Sirius. ║ ╙─────────────────────────────── ───────────────────────────────╜ or the second story about Viergefiechter Captain Gluck's ship slowly made its way through the aste- roids. The smugglers could not decide to invade borders of the Circumsolar Empire, knowing that after Big Joe equipped the Martian Guerillaros with nuclear bazookas produced by the Republic of Iapetus, the border patrols are simply brutal whether. Suddenly, on one of the asteroids, Gluck noticed a man in a suit fandre, who stood on this block, was hardly larger than fifty meters away, and clearly spoke to the passing ship. The sight was so unusual that the captain did not regret it several pounds of deuterium to pick it up and find out who he and where he came from here. “Gerhard Viergefichter,” he replied to the directly question. - Escaped from the mines on Ceres. - Why did you get there? - For fraud on an astronomical scale. -...?! How's that? - Yes, I sold Sirius to one guy. On the cheap, for only a couple of trillions, and only when he arrived there he realizedthat Sirius neither- to whom in the Solar System never belonged. “Cunning,” Captain Gluck assessed the deal in a professional tone. - What else can you do? - My main profession is swindling. - Will you take it upon yourself to deceive the Patrol Service? - Please. As I understand it, you need to go to Earth. See here this comet? - and he pointed to the lower left corner of the screen. - Pulled up - approach it from the tail side and sit on the core. In four month it will take you directly between the Moon and the Earth, more precisely than the Space Clippers Interplanet liner. Viergefichter's advice turned out to be practical. Therefore, already at about Earth orbit, Captain Gluck decided to once again consult with his passenger, this time regarding the landing location. “Well, I wouldn’t land on spaceports,” he said thoughtfully. Gerhard pulled. - I would choose some point closer to the areas controlled by the rebels. For example, here,” and he pointed finger to a certain point in the Ararat Valley. Here are the stations following they see their marriages poorly, and fidans are at hand, and most importantly, there are a wonderful tavern where a year ago I drank the best cognac in Eurasia at the price of technical oxygen. This time the advice was gratefully accepted, especially since that Firgefikhter promised to watch the ship while the crew was taste the promised divine drink. The captain is in the tavernGluck unexpectedly met Big Joe, the head wu of a rival gangster clan. - Oh, Joe, is that you?! - No way, old Gluck! I didn't even know you were already on Earth. How did you manage to evade these watchdogs so famously? I mean the Patrol Service? - Firgefikhter helped. - Who, who? - Yes, they picked up one escaped convict. Firgefikhter called fell. It was he who gave us the idea of how to bypass patrols and around what look for the harbor tavern. - And you took him on board?! And where is he now? - The ship is on guard. - You're crazy! Run back faster. He's not only patrols, he’s not shy about fooling our brother either, ..... dog- ka. At that moment, the roar of the engines of the taking off ship was heard, instantly covered by the friendly unprintable duet of Gluck and Joe. “But don’t be upset,” Joe “consoled” Gluck when they finally exhausted the supply of epithets. - You are not the first, you are not the last. Siri- he sold it to me. Only if he said that he deserved it they imprisoned him, then he lied.
