The local spirit was somewhat reminiscent of Homland, it was cozy here, and it was nice to indulge in memories of youth and study. The Jedi liked to hang out at these stations. Since there was nothing left of Homland, and everyone had their own ideas on the planets, we only crossed paths in such neutral territories as the 45th station.On the ground, among the heaps of objects that surround you, it is easy to navigate and understand whether the rangefinder or speedometer is lying or not. You yourself see and understand the distance. Here, in an unorientated void, your pituitary gland is in anguish, it has nothing to compare with, you do not feel where everything is. If the rangefinder says that the object is 700 meters away, then 700, it’s better not to bathe. Most disasters occur precisely because of errors in spatial orientation programs. But now my flight calculates both my ship and the controller, reducing the chance of the same error.I was dragged to the end of one of the panels

We ran through the dispensing window to the dishwasher, and from there to the kitchen boilers. Behind them, bursts of machine guns clapped, boilers rumbled around, crockery screeched. The sniper, shot through his back, fell in the washing room, broken plates fell on him, a pipe was broken above him and water was gushing. We broke into the hot shop. The machine gunner lay down in the water drain that ran along the huge digesters, and drummed bursts in the direction of the sink, forcing everyone there to lie on the floor. “You bitch, Joy,” I said angrily to my comrade, who did not warn about some of his game that ruined us. The cop looked carefully, hiding behind the refrigerator, out the window, if there were any options. It flew in from the window. Someone, not worrying, threw a grenade launcher into our window, making a “hot shop”. A cumulative grenade is a strong flash, terrible heat, and everything is drowning in darkness. I was thrown to the side hit his head on something. Out of

Food delivery is scheduled for tomorrow at 12-00, chemistry - tomorrow at 17-00. Stopped at the thought of weapons. In the secret place I have a minilaser, in the common people a pistol. But he has never been of any use to me. And to go now to buy something heavier on the lower decks - too pale. My plan now is to feign calmness and relaxation, and not get caught buying a machine gun.By the way, about plans. Before all the troubles, we were going to go with Joy to his familiar filmmakers tonight. So I’ll go to them in the evening, I’ll say that my corephan is on a drinking binge, we’ll get to know each other. If they are good talkers (I hoped that filmmakers should be talkers), I will tell them my legend - where did I suddenly break off the station the other day. After all, it appears everywhere that I wanted to stay here for a month ...I dressed again in my Jedi costume and walked along the deck gallery towards the hotel. They will hang out in the casino, and later in the concert ha

I put on a long black cloak, ironed black trousers and varnished black shoes, turned down the collar of the cloak so that a snow-white shirt could be seen, cut my hair short, shaved neatly, made a stern, meaningful face ... - and went to fuck.The girls in my person gave almost personally to Him, the great programmer who created everything around. I saw his reflection in their eyes as they finished. I understood that, having given me a little bit of a hint, they now hope for secret patronage, promotion, wealth, or at least the forgiveness of sins. After all, if she sucked the security guard, then she is a real patriot.I was not upset, because by that time, whoever I was fucking with, I imagined the One that refused to be with me. Probably, the girls saw her reflection in my eyes, but they were not offended either. The world is already created out of melancholy, boredom and a little bit of grief. The only language we speak is pain. So why dig into those rare moments of joy and pleasur

The children sat in the room in the light of only a weak burgundy floor lamp and in absolute silence. All five sat with their arms around their legs, their heads buried in their knees. They still can’t drink much, I thought, entering this haven of sufferers.- How are you?“Hangover,” Wagner answered dryly.In a low, relaxed voice, I slowly, almost in a singsong voice, began to talk about the cosmogonic ideas of the Jedi.- In addition to a hangover, by and large, there is nothing in this universe. At first there was nothing at all. Then something appeared on the detsel, and then suddenly “Bam!” and a Hangover appeared, who created everything around us. Hangover - dude, Hangover - brother, Praise Hangover! I chanted a mantra, and with that, a delivery man entered the room with a keg of lager beer and a stack of pizza boxes.All this fit on the table, the guys and girls jumped out of bed and wandered towards him with a zombie gait. They poured beer and drank. The people cheered and beg

The dispatcher took control of my ship, I, sitting in a chair, watched the airlock close in front, and knew that the airlock in the back was now opening. The hook took off from the prow of my ship and went into the wall. Behind my stern, open space, the difference in pressure pulled the machine along the monorail away from the docking chamber. Here I am already outside and I see on the screen how the petals of the airlock door curled up in front of my nose.The beam controller dragged me slowly and carefully, like a toy with two fingers, away from the station. The forward view camera displayed on the screen two huge balls of shiny metal gradually receding. The moment was lively, I saw how someone else's side was docking on the 3rd deck, and how two more luminous points of ships were sailing towards the station.Finally, the 45th is already so far away that it itself seems like a small butterfly sparkling in the dark. The rangefinder showed 30 km away from the 45th. Blyumknulo in dynam

Infrequently in their cultural institution they yell obscenities, and even so loudly. The girls at the reception stood with their heads drawn in, their eyes downcast. Chernaya, of course, had seen everyone in her life, but she was also alarmed. Their institution was fucked by the authorities - to the fullest, it was already the second week of swearing and inspections. Severe people walked around the floors, cursed, stuck their noses everywhere, asked endless questions, and cursed again. There were rumors that there might be layoffs or fines, or they might disperse the office itself.At the end of the year, attendance is declining. People share negative reviews on social networks that they have “bespontovo” here. And many, even instead of going on a well-deserved ticket donated by their native corporation or department, here - they buy expensive tickets to other establishments. Horror, but the check opened the books of reviews and suggestions in both halls. So even there a lot of nasty

Ratmir left the building of the headquarters of the ground forces of the Horde - in full dress uniform, ironed dark green, with gold shoulder straps, in a white shirt, with the Star of the Hero on his chest. Everyone who came forward saluted him, all the more or less familiar shook hands and congratulated him. Ratmir was proud and pleased with himself. And he felt like that was exactly what he was supposed to experience. But for some reason strange shame and doubts were mixed in. He was surrounded by fame and respect, but something inside was awkward, not right. This is unclear.When he was recovering in a field hospital after being wounded, he was unexpectedly transferred to the capital, Chernosteppe, for further treatment. In the main hospital they were not really interested in him, the doctors considered him already healthy, but various colonels began to call him to the headquarters and talk. As a result, he was told that he would receive a Star and an appointment as a battalion co

Since I had not worked with these filmmakers before, I wrote the TK as detailed as possible, with all the details, it turned out 12 pages, not counting diagrams and drawings. In short, this is the kind of movie I needed from them:It is necessary to create an object that would be an absolute copy of the ship of Joy. Its exact visualization is needed, which will one day, albeit on a different date, but absolutely second per second at the same time of day, pass the same course through the point where Joy disappeared. The object should be perceived by any observer as real, emit communication signals, have the same surface temperature, have the same speed and course, locators should see it as metal, with the same mass, a bioform similar to Joy should be reflected inside. This bullshit should, at least at first glance, seem completely real. The time must be set inside it to match the time on board the Joy. Its course must be built into the MAP Galaxy program in order to be accurately notic

The turmoil and permanent squabble lasted for three weeks - everyone around ran and cursed, endlessly printed out some piles of papers and rushed along the corridors with them. The Dream Galaxy convention brought together hundreds and hundreds of different people within the walls of the building where the institution was located. They all, damn them, needed something. They climbed everywhere and asked something. Even the girls from the reception, contrary to all the rules, were sometimes hired for all kinds of work.Finally, it turned out that during the days of the congress the institution would be closed, and the girls would sit all the time of the forum in the assembly hall. At first they sat at the entrance - at the registration of delegates. They marked everyone in the lists, issued a badge. Then they were seated next to the presidium at a long table - to monitor the operation of the recording equipment and give the suffering bottles of water, tablets, charge their batteries. “We
