In a wardroom Ermakov has told with vzdohom: - I met Robert Lloyd. Recently. Good mezhplanetnik.
The uncommon scientist...
- Light to it memory! It well kept, - has silently spoken Jurkovsky.
- Light to it memory...
After short silence of Dauge has suddenly jumped on nogi: - What the hell! It seems to me that we have fallen asleep on a
place. Have failed somewhere, and us fell asleep...
- Do not panic, Dauge, - has wearily grinned Ermakov.
To have dinner has wanted nobody, and soon Ermakov the first has risen to go to itself. Krutikov has put a hand on a
shoulder Jurkovsky and has told vinovato: - Similar that you were right, Volodja.
- Trifles, - that has spoken. - but here to you one more riddle, companions.
All had interrogatively a look at it.
- What is the matter? - Lu has told, what at it only the directed transmitter, so? - So.
- And after all we well heard it.
Michael Antonovich has opened a mouth and has perplexed looked back on Ermakova.
- And why also is not present? - Has asked Dauge.
- That is why, the friend that "Hius" in relation to Lu is absolutely in other direction, rather than Lloyd's ship. The directed
radio beam should not reach us in any way.
Dauge undertook for golovu: - enough riddles! It already, at last, is intolerable! But Ermakov and Michael Antonovich have
now gone to cabin, having grasped with itself Jurkovsky.
Venus With BIRD'S poletasvjaz was adjusted in a day as unexpectedly, as well as has interrupted.
Apparently, "Hius" passed "the bewitched place" - strange area in the space, possessing properties unknown still
concerning radio-waves. In a wardroom argued on this unprecedented phenomenon much, some assumptions including
obviously ridiculous (so, Dauge declared that all crewmen became victims of a mass psychosis), and Jurkovsky has begun to
develop a hypothesis of any four-dimensional reflexions have been put forward, trying by means of the best onboard
mathematician Michael Antonovicha Krutikov to enter "physically correct concept of a point of space" through which
electromagnetic fluctuations would pass only in one party. As to Bykova. That at first he felt the offended indifference of
companions to Lloyd's  destruction. It was represented almost by blasphemy to talk about theories and formulas in two hours
after to what they were witnesses. Accident "is old" has made upon it enormous impression. Deafened and suppressed, he
wandered on planetoletu, hardly forcing itself to answer questions and to carry out small commissions of Ermakova.
