Dangerous Wars. Vladislav Pavlovich Kazantsev

back a little, to the intergalactic station "Eleuron". Who is responsible for the death of the flight engineer?

      There was a routine inspection of our flight vessel, with the participation of a technician and, mind you, flight engineer Trimon. Everything was checked: top and bottom and all sides. Every crack and dent was analyzed. Everything was done according to the "Flight Rules", but one thing was not taken into account – "you Can not talk about personal topics." So banal? Alas, Yes, during the conversation, the technician got carried away, telling about a love meeting with his old friend, dropped a tiny detail in the gap, still open panel, and the flight engineer while listening and swallowing drool, his attention weakened and did not notice it. The panel was returned to its place, and the part was still there. If Trimon had known then what he had personally prepared for himself, maybe something would have changed in the future. But life is what it is! A small detail became a huge misfortune. When starting the engine, it gradually moved inside the panel, got on the current conductors in the computer. This led to a short circuit, resulting in a fatal error.

      People know a lot about life, its cycle of cycles, the black and white band of events. They can predict mass events in the future, but they don't see their own. They can calculate that there will be a world flood or a world war will break out, and they will not see the hole under their feet. And Trimon, while he hung his ears, mentally trying on the role of a young technician-lover, could not know that this brings his death closer.

      When there is death somewhere, there is life going on, and this is the power of the pulsating blood, as it flows and beats, the body feels peace.

      And, since our heroes are still alive, we return to the spaceship "flying Ferix", which is now preparing for an intergalactic jump.

      The entire crew is frozen and while their bodies and thoughts have fallen out of time, the main computer brain performs the transfer of command functions from the computer to real life. Putting the planet Raibonne into orbit, disabling all secondary energy consumers, distributing air, turning on the outside of the protective shield, and much more.

      The time has come and the spaceship "flying Ferix", flew along a Curved Line, through space and time, skirting comets and meteorites that fall in its path.

      Here on the right is the galaxy "Air bundle", it is like a gaseous disk, thin on the outside and thick in the center, drawing a vortex of gas from space and absorbing it, in its black pit, in the very middle of it.

      To the left, there are a lot of single scattered stars that do not depend on each other. If you look at them from the outside, it may seem strange that such beauty still exists in this world. That while people have not spoiled such a charm and you can still enjoy the magical moments, see the structure of the cosmos firsthand.

      Many particles of information, such as thoughts, radio waves, and the like, specially separated by nature from living organisms, the visibility of which would limit us as much as possible visually, and partially in movement, are distributed everywhere.

      Everything in space moves relatively and time is no exception, and the spaceship "flying Ferix" has already arrived at its destination, in the orbit of the planet Malonga first, in the galaxy Pyrimea.

      The flying Ferix spacecraft automatically created an artificial orbit and took a course around the planet Malonga one, that is, began to fly slowly in a circle above it.

      Inside, all the computers came to life and machines started working, robots began to prepare landers, air was restored in the compartments. In the flight cabins, the defrosting process started.

      Vella was the first to recover. Her flight deck was already open and warmed by the warm air. Vella slightly pulled each muscle, because after freezing, you can not immediately make sudden movements, so as not to injure the body. She tried to remember how she had been frozen, but she couldn't do it.

      Vella climbed out of the flight deck and, shaking off her drowsiness, went to Wake the crew, as indicated in her order sheet. She is the first one who should have woken up, since she is a doctor, she must make sure that the entire crew wakes up normally after freezing.

      When she entered the cockpit, she saw that the three flight seats were open, the safety Windows were removed, and the entire crew was already awake. But since Vella was young, but a good specialist, she realized that the state of coma still partially holds their minds. People just sit there and don't understand. Vella went to the flight engineer's box, but to her surprise, the seat was empty, and she immediately returned to the pilots and began to bring the commander and others to their senses.

      Soon everyone was back to normal and everyone knew what had happened to the flight engineer. In the cockpit, there was a tense situation in the air and therefore, we decided to go to the command post to assess the situation and discuss further plans.

      – You all already know what happened. We have a tragedy, because of someone, closed the circuit in the computer and killed a man, flight engineer Trimon, – said in a calm voice tomaka, addressing the entire crew.

      "You, commander, how could this happen?" And what should we expect next? I, for one, am now afraid for my life! Vella asked, a slight breathlessness in her voice betraying her slight agitation.

      "I'm not a girl, but my hamstrings are shaking," Timba said.

      Only Pitons, nothing not said, he stood behind, sitting at the table Tomaki and simply listened to, that say present.

      – Hero will be installed in the return on Ribon. You're all flying, not for the first time, but I'm flying for the first time. And, hands and feet, I'm not shaking, and you're panicking. Let's all calm down and continue our expedition further, " the commander tried to speak evenly and calmly, suppressing the people's fright with his voice.
