Article about hosting #3
That autumn Andrey, collecting a material for next hosting project (the fifth under the
account, it remembered it well) the novel, has achieved the sanction to live month
among hosting agents, to look, as there passes preparation for the next expedition.
The base forgotten in the Kazakh steppe, was considered as object closed and, in any
measure, confidential. Therefore Kosmoflota Andrey has gone to Regional management,
not feeding special hopes. But to it has carried (the first luck!), the growing grey
general with naughty hosting guys in opinion of at once has agreeed. A fantasy in
general, and in particular it respected with science fiction writers. Even pair novels
of famous writter remembered. With such patronage Andrey has passed a check point
of base with is proud of the lifted head.
And in third time to it has carried because the second scout and the chemist-planetologist
of crew of the interstellar ship "Hristofor Columbus" was Elena Kotsjuba. Rather vigorous
and independent person of twenty five years preparing the third hosting expedition.
Andrey who just has received the unexpected status of the scout-trainee, sat in empty
cafeteria, slowly sipping it is enough mediocre coffee and trying to present as there will
be an acquaintance to the presents " space wolves ". And even has shuddered, when
shutters of a door have sharply moved in the parties, and in a hall the low girl in a blue
training suit with hitched up nose and charming smile has flown. It is critical having
inspected Andrey, has asked: where is your hosting servers?
Far from each universal cataclysm begins with by that inopportunely exploding on the proximity of supernova, uncomfortable that flown past the comet or the suicidal- oriented asteroid. The described by us event, which had the truly catastrophic consequences, which we until now can observe, looking into the mirror, happened as a result of the arrival to the earth of usual spaceship; small, pot-bellied and as a whole of infinitely deformed - as if this was even not spaceship, but vile, which suffers obesity, circus dwarf.
If to already be entirely precise, then this and it was dwarf, true, extraterrestrial - on closer examination in strange essence it was possible to note three pairs of extremities, without considering khelitserov. One of these pairs was engaged in the chrome-plated trapezoid, from which to the sky thin- thin thread departed, the second pair by wide friendly strokes greeted gathering below, on the capacious clearing, aborigines, whereas the third was pseudopodia, and therefore difficult was to expect from it any benefit, except foolish shaking in air. Following the first dwarf, appeared the second - in order to distinguish them further, necessary to somehow name them. Let the first be to be called Charleston Darwin, and the second - Eric Maria Lamark. Certainly, you can ask, why this in dwarfs such stupid names - but, after all, they to inoplanetyane!
I think, for us it is worthwhile to again examine the basic theses of appearance, said Charleston Darwin, indeed on the first impression depends very much.
- Then the main thing - not to longer show to them that we intend by it to sell, noted Eric Maria Lamark. - In any case, let this be for them at least the second impression, and for the beginning it is possible to show vapor of acrobatic studies or to give souvenir knobs with the logotype of our galaxy.
