Through the vacuum, between the planets, the curved lines of human destinies are built, there is a struggle between the minds, spaceships fly into the unknown, with their brave-at-heart commanders, such as Tomaka.
– Launch, permission granted, – a command voice said, over the central speaker that connected Tomaka to Central Mission Control, intergalactic station Eleuron, on the planet Raibonne, and his crew.
– Attention, crew, ten minutes to liftoff, take your seats and activate your shields. The main computer brain, go to the pre-flight state, – Tomaka commanded once again, after which the crew settled into their seats, and the main computer, loudly and clearly, began to count down the ten Raibonne minutes, in reverse order, throughout the spacecraft.
– Nine forty – six, nine forty-five… – the speakers blared, sending the adrenaline pumping through the crew of the Flying Ferix.
The time before the launch is getting shorter and when the score reaches zero, the main computer brain will check the protective screens of each crew member and enter the command, " … transfer to a biostop state, biological organisms…", for a period set in advance, during the flight calculations, that is, temporarily freeze people or other living organisms, without any violations, vital processes in them.
Tomak's commander quickly checked everyone out and took his own seat in the flight chamber.
Chapter 2. Death of Trimon
In the spaceship" Flying Ferix", the atmosphere became heated, from the many flashing lights and all the walls trembled, moving mechanical devices.
– Four twenty-eight, four twenty-seven… – through the count, everyone heard the start of two huge engine rings, in the opposite direction, relative to each other. The steam pipes whirred, throwing hot air out and simultaneously gathering the necessary amount of heat to warm the ship's compartments during the flight.
Usually, at such moments, an experienced commander asks a control and encouraging question into the microphone installed in the flight cameras of each crew member. But, since Tomaka was not experienced, this function was taken over by Pythons.
Is everyone ready? What is it? – he asked. – "That's it, – Timba said first, and he didn't laugh out loud. – I'm ready, – the flight engineer said. – I'm ready, too, don't forget, – Vella said cheerfully, and giggled into the microphone. – Commander, let's go on a treasure hunt and adventure! – Pythons said jokingly.
– All right, let's go, let's try the alien planetary viands, – Tomaka said, trying to cheer up the crew.
– Food, this is for Trimon, he likes delicacies here. I'd rather have expensive stones or metals – Timba joked.
– The food should be right, not just the way you like it, all curls and twists, – Trimon said blankly.
– Guys, do not quarrel, the flight is just beginning, you will still have time to spoil each other's nerves, – Vella asked Timba and Trimon.
– Two seventeen, two sixteen … – time passes irrevocably, on the computer clock.
– We're not fighting, are we, Trimon? – Timba asked defensively, and laughed again.
– Yeah, the truth, but don't make it turn into a lie, – Timbe, the Trimon, said dryly.
– Trimon, after all, I love you…! All right, let's go, wake up, open the lyre and talk about life a little, – Timba said peaceably, to which he received no response from Trimon.
