are no filial formations on the flower Perhaps it is adaptating itself for the Earth environment. The flower was born in the alien atmosphere. You are right. I'll stay here for the night. Just to be on the safe side. All right. I'll change you in the morining. Don't ask any questions. I don't know the answers to them. But I'm dying to know. How did it happen? Valentina was on duty last night. Now she's consciousless. What?! What's wrong with her? Nothing terrible. She is fast asleep. You mean - asleep? Yes, she is hypnotized. We'll try to wake her up. I'm sure sombody was here last night. What about the surveillance tape? Leave us alone, please The videorecord is erased. - But who did it?! - We don't know. Look. Can there be bugs in the computer? No, I checked the system - it is alright. Somebody worked with the record. Where's the flower? Come, come, Valya. It was not your fault. Last night somebody put you in hypnotic sleep and then... - What about the flower? - It's gone. Or, to put it more precisely, it was stolen. Who stole it? Wait a bit... I was alright for all the night. I put down the last data at 5 A.M. So, it all happened not so long ago, didn't it?! Have you got an outdoor video surveillance? Yes, we have. The corridor is beeing monitored. - Who is this woman? - I have never seen her before. Why didn't they erased this record? It was risky. They had to get to the central post to do that. Replay the record. Her moves are very smooth. Zoom the picture. What an interesting bracelet. She got no flower with her. She had a partner then. Let's suppose that all this flower story... has got its own logic which is far more inconcievable than our human logic. Valya! Do you recall our evening talk aboard "Gandvana"? I was right! I knew something was to happen. It's all mystic! Don't kid us, Gleb. I'll go to the park for some relaxation. I saw that woman! And I tried to talk to her. But she vanished all of a sudden. I can't understand how it happen. You'll understand in a moment... I've shown this to Gleb. You're the second to watch. Play the last record! What is this? This is the tape that was erased. - Where did you get it? - It doesn't matter for now. Watch closely. She wanted to keep her appearance among people in secret. Right, that is why she erased the record. It's incredible! I thought the same thing when I saw this. Where is this record from? All the records are backed up. An intruder couldn't know about it. So, that comuter animation turned out to be true. Yes, it did. It's her, the girl from the legend. Her name is Aira. Aira. - Your coffee, sir - Thanks. Have you been looking for me? Who are you? Our civilization left the galaxy long ago. Your destiny will be the same. But the contact between the civilzation of different development level is impossible. This is the law of space. Why did you save me back then when I was a kid? You'll understand this... ...in due time. Why are you here, on Earth? Many years ago you spaceship approached the Heat Planet. It could find the underwater garden or fail to do so. Do you mean you helped him to find the garden? Perhaps. Otherwise you'd have never met Aira, and would have failed to help the Heat Planet. Did you want us to save that planet? Why don't you do this yourselves? No. We can't interfere. Only civilizations of the same level can help each other. Our interference could hav changed the planet's fate and it's future as well. Can you foresee the future? Yes, we can, but only that of the backward civilizations like yours. Our own future is covered for us. Why did you tell me all this? Because we've chosen you for the contact. ...and this is the particle generator. It has already passed the experiments coupled with the satellites. In a month we'll be able to launch the experiment. "Collectors" will be able to collect the amount of energy equal to the ------------------------------ Читайте также: - текст Броненосец Потёмкин на английском - текст Звездный Путь: Встреча капитанов на английском - текст Дни юности на английском - текст Джо против Вулкана на английском - текст Звёздный Путь на английском |
