This is the melody of my distant ancestors.
They lived here.
They lived, they grazed cattle, they ploughed, loved...
Veter, I do not ask, I am somehow sure.
You will not leave expedition, you will not leave me.
We will move to the sea soon, and you are
certainly free to select any work, but...
my friends like you.
Veda!
We are not children. When can we speak seriously?
Only when "Tantra" will be back.
So I did not answer you.
I thought, we will have time there, on the Earth.
Do you see...
you do hear anything in your sleep?
Do you remember about me?
Erg! She does not hear!
She cannot hear anything!
You spoke, I am afraid to be close.
Now I am next, and I do not fear.
You have to rest. Pull yourself together, commander!
Erg! How long are we already with you in space?
We saw much, even death, severe and absurd.
You can't, you do not have a right to weaken yourself!
- Erg!
- What else?
I must say that contemporary neurology penetrated
to the process of the appearance of emotions.
I want to say that medicine manages a possibility
to act on those cerebral centers,
which manage the strongest experiences.
And I could...
Do you propose...
to act on my love, and thus
free me from the sufferings?
Man must not suffer, Erg!
Suffering deprive you of reason!
But crew needs you reason!
She is right, Erg!
She is right, Erg, right!
Agree.
Am I late?
No, no. Please.
What's wrong, Erg? Carefully!
Commander! Erg!
Erg, what's wrong?
Erg, do you feel bad?
Here!
Here!
"That then I scorn to change my state with kings'."
Erg!
You did not understand anything!
No, Louma, no!
I will not give my feelings,
even if they force me to suffer.
Suffering, if it is not higher than the power,
conducts to the understanding, understanding to the love.
So it is locked circle.
Wou were good to me, thanks.
But there will be no second session, Louma!
You, the elders, who called me to the way of labor!
Aaccept my skill and desire, accept my labor,
and teach me at the day and at the night!
Give me the hand of aid, since the way is difficult!
And I will follow you!
You are changed, Veter!
Earlier, when you commanded entire energy
of the Earth, spoke with the distant worlds...
Was I other?
You started to smile more, to be glad
about the simplest, the most usual things.
You are greatly changed, Veter!
Mven Mas?
What, is he to you?
Yes, we arranged a meeting here.
He flew from Tibet.
With Ren Boze they are preparing
an immense experiment.
Aa, this is surely connected with
his dream about compressing time?
Obviously. And he needs me
right here, at the holiday.
That is Mven Mas.
- Excuse me.
- Of course.
Everything is provided by you.
Now the most serious remains, the danger of work.
What scientist will frighten risk?
I told not about the personal, Mven.
But experiment will include
the external stations of Great Ring.
Do we have the right to risk the greatest
achievement of humanity, window to the cosmos?
I see billions of past human lives!
Where instantly, as the sand between the fingers,
ran away theyr youth, beauty and happiness of life.
They are asking for answering the great riddle
of time and entering the fight with it!
If you are so convinced, you should
address to the Council of Astronavigation!
I am addreesing to its chairman!
But I did not give agreement yet, Mven!
Is time for you to return to the big matters, Dar Veter!
The Council does not see another candidate.
You will give agreement, Veter!
Listen the report of the Council
of Astronavigation! They return!
They return! Veter, did you hear?
Did you already hear? They return!
I am glad for you! Very.
The ship is in one hundredth
of parsec from the orbit of Neptune.
In the week "Tantra" will be received
by hospitable Triton
and after five-week quarantine,
the Earth will joyfully meet "Tantra"!
