Consciousness gradually returned. Hand shaking, crooked fingers holding a piece of silver, so similar to the moon. I caught it thought astronaut, here he is in his hands. But why is he teasing? " Before his hearing could be heard again and again, -" Do not catch! No catch! Cosmonaut strained his ears. Through the clatter of headphones, barely audible rhythmic signals Pi, pi, pi! Pi, pi, pi! Pi, pi !
What is it?! Whispering lips.
Consciousness finally returned to him when another astronaut turned on feeding the oxygen from his suit. Clouded eyes softened.
Who are you? Whispering lips.
Im Tom Jackson, United States of America! There was a parallel flight. And then the signal!
Thank you! Weak voice said astronaut.
Well how are you? Tom asked anxiously, putting a slight astronauts body to his feet.
Leonid Krazimov. Pilot International Space Agency!
Okay! Come on, little oxygen, lets go!
In the pale glow of Jupiter, the asteroids rocky soil desert seems dead, and only fanciful shapes of frozen blocks as fantastic beasts intertwined with each other in a terrible battle mighty arms breathe life in this dead landscape. Nothing disturbs the peace prevailing here, and only rare clouds, billowing over the surface here and there, decorate the dead desert.
Among plexus shadow suddenly came to life two. We push and sailed along the heating of the visible heaps. And here is the animated sculptures, there is no dead stones, it is people in spacesuits gayety-motion in the direction of the spacecraft, on the frozen surface of the Al-sparkling steroid.
Why was the signal from the reverse side? One of them asked. The other replied, slightly slowed-LA step:
There Was a ship. Answered with a sigh.
As if there was not, we have to make it. Oxygen may not be enough.
They walked in a single spike, breathing oxygen from the suit of Tom. Soon lest pull-up to the Nice transition chamber spacecraft. Inside, in a narrow bay, calls-opted for one, people were preparing to rendezvous with Earth. They tired but happily excited persons noticeable unconcealed impatience. Clumsy spacesuits, the astronauts did not remove for security purposes
Long hung a cloud of dust, white ghost reflecting the rays of the sun, But it became pale. Then, through his veil, we trace the gray rocks and boulders, all clearly and sharply. Cloud soon broke and settled, merged with an asteroid. The ship turned into a small bright star moving toward the Earth, taking on board the two brave men
The kidnapped
In, the fifth tier, deep underground was the Academic Council of the Chamber of Physicians. Conducted meeting of the Board, its chairman Op.
Dear colleagues, our research has come to the final stage. We are ready for the reconstruction of our ancient civilization with a stable function of reproduction and with the help of individuals living on this planet, our genotype will be restored, and we finally Aubreys-the immortality of the race.
The room rustled. He heard cries What do you want to do this, just tell me?
What are the resources? Youll get everything you need from us.
Well, dear colleagues, listen. Or, look around the audience, having sustained considerable pause, then continued. We need a middle-aged woman.
What caused this, Ort? He asked in a long wig from dyed auburn hair color, a scientist.
As I said, it is necessary to finish the experiment.
You probably forgot that we signed an agreement with the president of this country that are not going to kidnap and to experiment on the inhabitants of this planet.
You, Otis, forget that the agreement was signed on the territory of this country, and it does not concern spheres of influence around the globe.
And, as you know, dear colleagues, the revived relationship with the past life of consciousness almost been established, we are on the path of immortality, except for a negligible issue x, which one of you, dear colleagues, no one even engaged. Entered into a discussion tree-third term of the Chamber of Physicians.
Just this question forces us to make contact with people. Or intervened.
But why? We have for centuries tried to hide our presence on Earth. Mankind is still not aware of the existence of our civilization. Objected Otis.
I think that the disappearance of a woman in a short period of time in the two Earth days will not cause suspicion. He insisted on his Op. For the question, x is a part of the binder material, which allows the existence of two worlds in the world, regardless of one another.
Yes, but what about the woman? I asked a third scientist.
The woman in the world is the mother of the people, giving life. Spoke Or, We are interested in fur-ism origin of human life, fully charge the issue of x.
You are trying to contact all their origin in a whole with our existence. Expressed his opinion a fourth do not come so far in the discussion.
Yes, I try to not only try, but confident in the correctness of the findings, here are my conclusions he pulled out a thick folder of manuscripts. Next to us is living a viable and powerful humanity. Though the life of each individual on average eighty years, compared with five hundred of our lives it is negligible, but it does not give us a great quantity reject them as unable to understand us.
Yes, but we are talking about something else. Intervened scientist Otis, he shook his head, a wig on his head told him that moved the hair falls to his shoulders. The solution of the question of immortality on the necks of race gray as we call these primates a contemptuous smile flitted across his face people! We have reached the limits of development and cannot develop fully, except for how to clone myself. Look at our race. All as one, cannot be distinguished from each other. And what to say about the lost functions of production. How It turned elk replacement cloning, but extends our lives, but in the end. The degeneration of our species on the face. I therefore fully support the Ora.
And no wonder, Otis, youre wearing a wig of hair of his mistress two hundred and fifty years. Is not it? Someone shouted from the back of it in the room. What Otis said:
Whoever said it, does not know that such a revival in a new body.
They say you have a child with his mistress. I heard another voice. Scientific bowed his head, his hair wig hid his thin neck, hollow voice, he said: Yes, there was, he died long ago, lived only seventy-six years.
So, dear colleagues decided to suspend and resume the conversation distracting discus-UIS Or the last and final report will allow us to get the revival of the body again, with the old intelligence and the experience of past lives. Thats what we needed, and a woman. We euthanize it and examine it by the developed technique. All the functions of its organs will be copied and made the copies. We need to study the birth of the matter fields, the particles that make up atoms of the human embryo at a very early stage. Formula nucleation field is the question of x, which it remains to be solved.
Yes, but then changed the essence of the experience! Objected Otis.
No, on the contrary, we are now able to determine the formula of material fields of the particles, atoms of our intelligence, putting it in the program mechanism of nucleation field, we get the birth of human intelligence with the old and the new young body.
