Darkness
Оглавление– Hans, why have all the stars disappeared?
– Turbulence, sir?
– Don’t be silly, Hans, what kind of turbulence? We are in another galaxy, moreover, in airless space.
– Then this is most likely the machinations of the Russians, sir!
– Come on, Hans! To pinch all the stars in the sky is too much even for the Russians! What’s on your space sensor?
– Gas nebula, sir!
– So the lenses are closed, Hans, and we can’t see anything. Check our heat shield!
– Already done, sir!
– How much do we have?
– 20—30 minutes, sir…
– We can get overheated, Hans! Did you send a signal to the base?
– Doesn’t work, sir!
– Turn the ship over!
– No change, sir, the sensors got stuck, the lenses don’t open, as if we were diving into some sticky goo…
– Anything can be, Hans… Just anything can be… In that case, the main thing is not to panic. But if you do, make sure you’re the first to panic, Hans! With a proper subordination!
– Serving the system, sir!
– That’s it! I never thought that I would have to work as a sewer…
– What did you say, sir?
– Nothing, do not pay attention, let’s spin a little and don’t lose our speed… Move slowly! Someone has sprayed some crap on our way, a lot of crap… And some very crappy crap… But we can make it, Hans, we will definitely emerge out and wash the ship after. Now with all the shit outside the ship the most important thing is not to shit inside, so the System may be proud of us again!
– Serving the System, sir!
– Exactly! And turn off your imagination for now!
