Super Queen —Mother was watching as below the roof of the house and «dog ground» were slowly moving away from her. Then she saw her town, which was quickly becoming smaller and smaller.
Suddenly, the armchair tightly enveloped her body. Thousands of cold suction cups stuck to it, and the ship sharply picked up the speed.
She could judge about this from the space view: flat, as it was seemed from Earth, it was becoming extensional. All stars were becoming stretched and thinner, turning into light lines. She did not hear the noise of the engine unit, but felt the vibration of the ship’s corpus.
She felt as if she had jumped into a cold swimming pool after the steam room in a bath house.
Soon after the start – or it seemed so to her – the process of the spaceship speed-up reversed, and the deceleration began. The spaceship speed decreased, and, in a far, Super Queen-Mother saw a huge planet, nearing her.
There were no other planets near it. It was a lonely wanderer of the Galaxy. Being unremarkable, it was chosen to take part in decision making on Earth’s fate.
It suddenly struck Super Queen-Mother that she was not afraid of the battle; she was more curious than frightened. She at once pulled herself up:
«Notice and analyze everything. They did not invite you for a cup of tea…»
Super Queen-Mother shook her head and switched attention to what was happening around her.
Suction cups fell off from her and went into the armchair. It recovered itself and switched off its lights; the small armchair became lit.
Super Queen-Mother sat into it.
She saw a lever in front of her, like the one for computer games. She understood it was a manual guidance of the ship to bring it to the landing point at a low speed.
The landing point lightened on the 3D map of the planet surface, and Super Queen-Mother directed the ship to it.
The spaceship was easily controlled and readily obeyed all directions of Super Queen-Mother. At the planet’s surface it stopped.
She got up from the armchair and came into the light circle on the ship’s floor. The light lift instantly brought Super Queen-Mother to the surface of the unknown planet, which had to become the place of the mortal battle.
Super Queen-Mother saw that her spaceship had disappeared. The three escort spaceships had also vanished.
The lighted path was leading to a tunnel cut through the rock. Super Queen-Mother looked back and decisively went ahead.
The wide and tall tunnel was not long – in the distance a light was seen. Its walls were trimmed up with metallic silver tiles, very small, looking like large fish scales.
The appearance of the yellowish-waxen picture got Super Queen-Mother’s attention. She came into the tunnel and took some steps.
The «fish scales» revived, coming down to her and baring the dark walls of the tunnel. Keeping on walking, Super Queen-Mother sent a high voltage discharge at the insects around her. Lightning bolts came off her one after another, everything around was sparkling and crackling.
The insects fell on the floor, heated to bright crimson color, and then burst, like sunflower seeds. With her every step there were more and more killed insects. They crackled under the soles of Super Queen-Mother.
«So, this is your way to say «hello», she thought. «Then, this is my warm greeting to you.»
Her energy blow evaporated the mountain together with the tunnel.
