recording.  Sorry.
And that is all? It seems so.
It is necessary to inquire  an ag...
Let's finish listening.
No need.  There is nothing else
except for this idiotic scream.
It is necessary to inquire ... an agency...
an agent...
I don't know.  It was the voice of Pashich.
We'll have to search the entire station.
William Pashich.
Don't be afraid to meet a dead man
in the hallway- Pashich went outside.
Ikar Dumont.
Dumont left his hydroponic suit behind.
-Incredible
I've never heard of anything like it.
Manta Ray? At this depth?
Incredible.
We are really lucky, colleague.  This is a king
manta - species almost unknown to science.
Beautiful creature.
What was wrong with the deuterium equipment?
One machine was broken, but all others
are in order. They were simply turned off.
In order, except that deuterium production
stopped, Pashich disappeared,
and Dumont went plain crazy.
Look at this.
This is our sector of the underwater ridge.
Station... production site...
And this is the beacon- the highest point
of the ridge around our station.
Be careful when swimming around the machinery
There is a strong current there
and you can be dragged over here ...
where there are gaps 5-6 km deep.
What about that gap? -About 5 km.
If we don't find him here, at the accessible
depth,- we will not find him at all.
If I don't return in 20 hours...
but then  you'll have to figure out
what to do by yourself.
Checking the connection. Checking.
Transmit sonar message.
Nothing new. Scared Manta Ray.
Moving toward the beacon.
Be careful.  Later.
Boll, can you hear me?
The beacon is fine.
Pashich couldn't get lost around the station
with a signal that strong.
It's simply impossible.
I'll look at the production site.
I'll try to fix a problem there as well.
Air is going through.  Thanks, Sobolev.
Where are you going next?
That's what I understood- moving north-west
But be careful, Sobolev.
I'm asking you- be extremly carefull.
LOTTA
You?  You were supposed to be at the station.
I thought it was Pashich. -It's a strange
way to act at the first meeting.
Sorry.
What's new?
I searched close to 20 km along the range.
Not a trace of Pashich.
Why did you go outside?
I needed to know why the water
can't be pumped out of the hangar.
Did you travel past the hangar?
-I didn't have a chance
You snatched me away so quickly,
that I even left my quantaber behind.
What about Dupont's diary?
See for yourself.
Maybe you can find something logical
in his scribbles.
I don't know much about psychosis.
Good night.
One more question- what do you think
the word LOTTA means?
LOTTA is a girl's name.
Why didn't you tell me that you went
all the way to the beacon?
Because I did not go there.
Are you still awake, Igor?
I'm going to bed soon.
I'd like to talk to you.
You see, I have a feeling
that I'm somewhat guilty...
It's OK. I understand
Probably at Dugovsky's advice you tried
to conceal from me Dupont's raving.
It's a bad idea. -Can I say at least one word?
Listen to me first.  Otherwise I'll just fall
asleep and won't tell you everything.
You guessed, of course,
that the name LOTTA
I saw on a beacon.
I can add that
it was burned with quantaber.
But you know something else?
it was not there few hours ago.
What did you say?
It was not there.
If neither you nor me wrote it-
do you understand what it means?
Ok, let's finish it tomorrow. I'm really sleepy
And your quantaber, that got left out there.
That sounds like a bad idea.
Pashich, come back! Come back now!
You're sick, you're dying! Come back!
What happened?
-First, I'd like to hear your report.
You are a prophet. I didn't find my quantaber.
Igor, you were wrong yesterday.  I didn't know
about Dumont.  Dugovsky didn't tell me either.
But now when you saw a notebook-do you
understand where I saw this name- LOTTA?
I was wrong yesterday.  Pardon me.
Sven, you know Pashich well, tell me
did he have any connection
