Clear sky Bashny.Net

In fact - the network was looking for a collection of stories by Stalker but stumbled on this thing. Liked.

A moment - and it became clear that the forces are not equal.
Sergei grabbed the hands of a stranger, stretched to the board of adjustment mode
stellarators, after overcoming slight resistance, grabbed person
his arms and dragged him to the side. Another moment - and he was in the chair
the second controller. Loomed over him, Sergei outposts responsible
Central attendant, yelled:
 - You that, tired of life? And as you climbed here?
Sneak night in Central shields almost impossible. Three zones
Protection and security guards here that in all countries where the running
stellarators, do not miss anyone. Until the use of weapons. Too
expensive and strict piece - stellarators. Several right - or rather,
unnecessary inclusions - and it can go racing and then not stand
defense, and he will fly stellarators and installation, and a good part of the cargo
station. Only the settlement will remain - to his twelve kilometers.
Over the years, Sergeeva service here at Sarychev, no one tried to get
the control room, and especially in Central. And why?
Sergei asked again, more quietly:
 - Do you know where your hands thrusting? We all grobanemsya ...
Man in bird twisted his head and said, apologetically:
 - I would have warned you, Serge. That all had to leave. And you and
others. To have time. Blood is not needed. No, no.
Something strange seemed to question the stranger, clothed - now ostrozhek
I considered - uniformed support staff. But what was
strangeness, Sergei did not understand. Just ask, just going to the "you»:
 - Do you know me?
 - Of course, Sergei. I specifically chose your shift and night to catch,
while you're alone. I know that you are resting on the line ...
 - Wait - interrupted Sergei - that catch? And how do you know,
we ...
 - Yes, - said hastily man in uniform - and I decided that
if he can not, you can help me. You just listen to me first, and
Then be sure to understand ...
He spoke quickly, and at the same time as it overpowering themselves, and after
each phrase nodded - as if to finish. Not that it's much
irritated, but still it detracts from the meaning. Not about some of their
hypothetical commitments going to ask outposts, and about why
This man made his way to Central and back on duty rushed to
board. And hell, if not hearing and reaction to Sergei, now would could
start a ...
 - Speak clearly: Who are you? What do you need? I'll call the guards ...
 - You will, of course, one is not alone - the stranger nodded quickly - again on the instructions you should be here two, but if anyone else
down, then immediately to the guards, but you first listen. I have long
I noticed even when you and your wife were here on an internship ...
Here's the outposts remembered clearly and directly, and in the next instant already
He surprised himself that he knew at once uncle Panas, caretaker of
Malosemeika-hostel, which housed the trainees. Is that the uniform was hit, but
a person's face ... Sergei had to learn at once. Then, six years ago,
talking, we drove teas, and then ... No, later - did not speak,
flashed though, really, pointed, in the early wrinkles, face, stooped
figure ... Not near Gannusinogo garden there?
 - Chumak? Athanasius Mikhailovich? - I asked outposts, has full
Acknowledging the certainty of man.
 - Yes, better than the old, uncle Panas. What I then Magnification?
Panas been and gone, and the middle, and will not leave, and see that not stand,
just cut short ...
No, it was not a strange voice, and in the eyes of guys Panas, that
in his eyes he floated some fog; and quite spontaneously appeared
conscious outposts word "Fool", half-forgotten, never before
is used to determine the counterpart has not yet been definitively sticky to the uncle Panas, but approaching a certain threshold of consciousness.
 - Well, so be it, but you did not answer: what are you doing here? And
Where did you get the uniforms?
Uncle Panas responded quickly, but the first question though, and did not hear:
 - And my unitard, relies on the service, but not this, but this
my size ...
 - Do you work here? On the "Clear Skies»?
 - Work, of course. Cleaner. Too, because you need to clean up before the change
yes se, but a lot of people do not explain: the conscience of something with a beginning,
when a man in front of him as the front of the mirror ...
Sergei knew everything Chumak said, but more and more definite
notice: somewhere in phrases sharp and with an effort to get enough sleep uncle Panas,
slips a little logical replacement. It begins about one and
then approved by another, it is not (or do not) arising from the promise.
But to regard this feature of speech outposts did not know.
 - Is the night cleaning do? And what you suffered a shield?
 - Yes, I want to explain, but you are so eager to become, and if you
throat dry. Would you like some water draw some, yet the cleaners know that
You and a thermos and sifonchik ...
 - Now.
Outposts stood, pulled out of the closet plastic mug and reached for
siphon - and here's eye caught a quick movement.
Sergei sharply, so that the circle flew to the side, turned and shouted:
 - Halt!
Shouted, reached a moment, leaned over the body, pressed Chumak
to the console, and, catching the waist, he dropped into a chair. Even knowing,
it was too late, that nothing is no longer willing, opened his palm and took Chumakov
microphone. Microphone "walkie-currents" peregovornika links with other premises,
including security. Tear, so to speak, with the meat - not just
mend ...
 - You what ?! What have you done? - I cried at Sergey Chumak.
Athanasius Mikhailovich slowly ran his fingers through his face and straightened:
 - That's all. Now you can easily pour the water. And yourself.
Uncoordinated actions will no longer be.
Sergei fascinated picked up the mug, draw some water, and gave
Chumak, and he put his nose siphon lips and took a few sips,
while the mouth is not full of carbon dioxide.
In front of him sat in the chair the other person.
Tenacious, friendly and clear view. Voice solid, confident, if not
He says, and the team. The back is straightened, movement became sparse and precise.
Sergei siphon aside and sat down.
Just the whole situation seemed inoyu. Yes, an outsider in Central - in itself a state of emergency, but Panas uncle looked so innocuous that it
Sergei appearance involves not the intent, and some absurdity, something like
random walks or awake with a hangover on the case, deserted nochyu.Konechno, violated grave - mode - manual, but it did not foresee the danger of abuse; operators themselves and the duty violated almost every night, arbitrarily dividing the change in the wings, and still nothing happened. Is that a pair of optional scolding when authorities zastukivaet - all.
Especially outposts - stronger and Chumak unarmed, and will be a partner
less than an hour.
Now the outposts, appalled sudden change, took all
otherwise. In the parish of Chumak it became apparent intent, and could not think of Sergei,
that he was in a difficult situation. Chumak is clearly playing, and yet it was his
game action and Sergey seem to quite fit into Chumakov tactics.
"But what is the intent?" - Wondered outposts.
 - Now we must coordinate our actions - all in the same imperious
tone said Athanasius Mikhailovich - and not too rely on the fact that you
physically stronger. This is not all. Call for reinforcements or guards you
can not: I can not leave behind. I do not want to get rid of
you. Conversely. So, we need a consensus, it is necessary to coordinate actions.
Agree?
 - What does it all mean? - Said Sergey.
But Athanasius Mikhailovich missed his question:
 - Do you yet have little reason to trust me. I have more, but still
enough. Till. But we need full trust - other relations with conscience
does not happen, no?
 - Who are you? - Said Sergey.
 - You heard me. Chumak. Uncle Panas. The former manager, former
stellarators operator, a former caretaker, the father of former ... - Chumak frantically
I swallowed, and for a moment a person has acquired the recent, painful expression; face,
distorted with pain and lack of understanding, a person semi-holy fool.
It seemed - and there's him again the second, decisive and domineering. And
eyes - not the dregs, and conviction. Almost excessive ... - but the man does not
had time to finish his thought, because Athanasius Mikhailovich
spoke again:
 - And you know, I'm not a saboteur and not a terrorist. Otherwise, in what would
you stand on ceremony. All necessary switching can do myself. And
would long ago without your help. And you, so as not to interfere ... It is not difficult.
Without noise. But do not be another chance. You - a safety net ...
 - What you need? - Said Sergey.
No, he's still not afraid.
Chumak behaved in fact not as a saboteur or terrorist. Terrorists
first they shoot and throw the bomb, and then spoke. Or "gave
testimony. " Danger? Yes, but probably not personal.
Now redoubt thought firmly: yes, said that the caretaker uncle Panas
not previously been assistant manager and left operators on health ... No, there was
some history, family, or something ... And if the operator was ...
Qualification does not disappear just like that. And the equipment has not changed
so as not to understand yourself. So, really need Sergey
for something else ...
 - What do I want? - Said Chumak and slightly squinted - now
say ... The question on the merits. But first answer to the previous: who I am.
Agree?
Sergei nodded again struck by the change in uninvited
guest.
 - I - your judge.
 - Judge? Yes, we barely know. And what grounds ...
Chumak abruptly interrupted, almost shouting, leaning Sergey:
 - You killed my daughter!
A moment of silence ringing - and unbidden, like a convulsive sob
short laugh escaped Sergei. He immediately clamped her mouth slightly
just shook his head as if trying to break the dream, and answered clearly
looking into the eyes:
 - What do you mean, Athanasius Mikhailovich? My own daughter! What a joke ...
But Chumak seems not joking. If his expression anything but
games, meant that he was strict and sorrow. Shaking his head, he said:
 - You killed her. She died at dawn, in the same hour, a week before
his devyatiletiya ...
"Is he mad moved?" - Wondered outposts, and if suddenly began
see clearly ... And the words and behavior, all these unexpected changes in Chumak
It fits into the scheme, the picture of mental illness. In what could have
Sergei present - not the doctor and all people far enough away from
Medicine.
And this suspicion What has changed in the situation outposts did not know, and said
Only:
 - Yes, you're crazy, Athanasius Mikhailovich - I did ...
 - Gone crazy? - Eagerly interrupted Chumak. - That would be the output.
The best solution. Drop out of consciousness hourly, hourly flour - when not
you can even afford to die ...
This longing and pain distorted features Athanasius Mikhailovich that Sergei
It was ashamed of his suggestion - and also receded
a premonition of danger. And not as unjustly accused, not as official
the person forced to commit serious abuses instructions from the very fact
Chumak stay at Central, but just a human outposts said:
 - Of course, a great misfortune; but maybe with time
settles ...
 - Over time we all ulyazhemsya - instantly replied Uncle Panas - a wife and a month could not stand, hands on himself imposed, and to me that's the seventh
year ...
Then Sergei remembered in illumination with indisputable clarity that is
It was the story. All so, and the girl died on the eve of devyatiletiya and
mother soon put an end to them, and it was the family of one of the operators
stellarators. Noise at one time - seven years ago - was enough because
that the child was one of the first in our country case
gemosolvii. If not the first. At the very beginning of the pandemic ... But could
ostrozhek think if he Polytech graduate trainee, the first time
Sarich hitting the six months after all the sad events that
once the wait charged with infanticide?
 - ... I dropped another - continued Athanasius Mikhailovich, staring hard
look at Sergei, - and I can not leave without defunct evil.
Look whether he had a special effect, or Sergei finally became convinced,
that before him sick person represents a distorted reality and capable of any action, but the tension came eerie.
Cold and slippery become between the shoulder blades and legs on the contrary, enveloped cotton
heat ...
And then melodiously and clearly rang a timer signal to the next fixation
readings.
Sergey raised his head.
It's like that. The girl named Oksana. Oksana Chumak. One of the first
gemosolviey diseases. The girl died in hospital. No, even the most
Sergei indirect guilt, and there can not be: gemosolviey impossible
infected. Until now, no one knows why there is and how
Children covered by this disease. Deadly disease - but can
be very Chumak much more involuntary reason - I met
Sergei press the assumption that the disease is somehow linked to
heredity ...
 - Athanasius Mikhailovich - firmly and calmly as he submitted
should talk to the patient, said the outposts and stood up - I must
make an audit record; as you please, sit quietly. And then,
if you want more talk. Only once I warn you: I'm a child
Diseases never had no bearing. Or maybe even
on the contrary: I'm on the "Clear Skies" work.
 - I'll sit - nodded Chumak, such as how to resolve, and winced as if from
pain; yes probably and really in pain because of the box caught
pill and swallowed quickly.
For a few seconds - and said again:
 - About the same "peace" - is currently say. You've confessed ...
Mechanically still Sergei walked along the row of devices, and it seemed that something
recorded in the operational log and only after a good half-minute
stopped:
 - Confessed? What?
 - The murder. You killed my daughter. You killed one hundred and thirteen thousand two hundred ...
 - M. Athanasius glanced at his watch and corrected himself: - One hundred
thirteen thousand three hundred children. And you kill a thousand each week,
If you do not stop.
Chumak was silent for a few seconds. He seemed to be struggling with some
severe pain. Then he said quietly and calmly:
 - All. Now you know. Now, nothing will change my death: you do
you can not forget. Conscience does not kill.
 - Uncle Panas! - Sergey, could not stand, and jumped to Chumak took him
for the breast - so you come to your senses! Found guilty! Gemosolviya same - it
disease, yes, terrible, yes, incurable, yes, of her children die in every
countries, and can be really died a hundred and thirty thousand - but
I have something to do with it?
 - "Clear Skies" - threw Chumak, with unexpected strength squeezing Sergeeva
wrist, pushing him away. And he looked, so that it seemed outposts:
everything is possible, and how to know what will surprise partner, when will come through
half an hour.
If lulling, distracting, trying to defuse the tension, Sergei
spoke:
 - But this is a program for the salvation of mankind. You're older than me,
be well to remember what happened two decades ago: acid
rain, smog, monstrous blast furnaces, factories, slag mountains, quarries, mines,
mine - and now? All raw materials give the dialysis unit. The same age-old dream
humanity: to get all the raw materials from the ocean. And finally stellarators
We provide energy. Recent CHP closed, and has so many problems solved:
Hunger won ... "Clear Skies" - is ...
 - When Saturn begins to devour their children, Saturn should
destroy - separately said Athanasius Mikhailovich.
 - Yes, what makes you think that the "Clean Sky" has some relation to the
gemosolvii? - Said Sergey Chumak looking closely into his face. - It
painful strange idea ...
 - Agree - he threw Chumak, grinned wickedly. - Crazy idea.
Ravings of a madman. I, too, once thought ... It seemed that the whole world
mad, if you do not want to notice the obvious. But the world can not get
crazy. But not to notice - because you can not ignore _takoe_ because
unprofitable inadmissible deprives pleasant hopes to "maybe blow over" - can. Yes, and I do not want to understand, I thought that all of this - the price paid for
last century ... And it ourselves, "magicians twenty-first century ...»
Chumak laughed dryly and evil, as the bark. And then, he stopped laughing, stared
Sergei in the burning eyes:
 - What do you know about gemosolvii?
Sergey, and indeed all civilized people after the expense of victims
I went to thousands, did not miss the article in periodichke, without much
Voltage said that it is - a blood disease, such as it is thinning,
hence the name "gemosolviya."       fearfully.   Correctly.                                 "No!          - No!           Stop.   diagnosis.     Maybe.
