Dangerous wars

– Well, the moment of truth has arrived. We're getting ready to land, – Tomaka said.
– That's right, commander, let's go to the planet, we're tired of hanging out in space, – Timba said hurriedly, crossing his arms over his chest.
– I agree. So, now everyone is putting on space jumpsuits and standing, everyone at the free capsule, – Tomaka ordered.
Everyone obediently began to dress, and Timba tried to make a joke, but no one paid attention to him, trying not to forget to fasten some of his zipper or zipper. In space, anything could happen, for example, depressurization of the capsule or overflow of the box with gas, so it was necessary to monitor everything, including the integrity of the oxygen system and the complete tightness of the coverall. One death of a flight engineer was more than enough. No one wanted this to happen again, not even Timba, even though he was being uncharacteristically calm and irresponsible.
– The main computer brain, will switch to automatic command mode, according to the instructions and automatic piloting, – Pythons additionally informed everyone.
– Commands received and executed, – the chief computer brain replied in a feminine, pleasant voice, in the speaker, as if confirming the words of the commander and the first mate.
The expedition was ready for departure, within half an hour, everyone gathered at the capsules.
– Places on the planet, indicated for you. The capsules will open after they cool down, if anyone doesn't know. One capsule, one person! – Tomaka joked. – I wish you all a soft landing, see you on Malonga first!
– Thank you, you also have a soft landing! – Vella said.
– Everything will be fine, – Tomaka said, and went back to his capsule.
The crew wished each other a good landing and each took their own capsule, which then closed, and the main computer brain took them into space and then sent them to Malonga first.
First, the capsules with people entered the atmosphere, then land vehicles, cargo transport, and then the cargo itself landed. To the ground, all and all, flew safely.
The spaceship "Flying Ferix", remained to fly in the orbit of Malonga first.
The planet had the necessities that normally support life. Fire and water, the change of day and night, air and organic soil. All this was on her, so the landing of the crew, nothing over dangerous did not portend. It spoke of an ordinary uninhabited planet.
When the last atmospheric analyses were completed, the capsules opened and the people came out. The landing was chosen by the main computer brain, using all possible landing algorithms, that is, the landing place was specially selected, taking into account the least possible danger to the crew and the location of the landing capsules, within the average visibility of a person.
– Yes, you are mocking me, I have not seen such a thing… – there was no limit to Timba's admiration, there was no end, he continued to describe vividly and colorfully the rapture of the world of Malonga the first.
– Dr. Vella, I think we have a case like the one on the Ribonne, a disease called the gaze of millions. Birds, from the ancient history of Raibonne, mentioned by the Pillatec civilization, about which the myth has come down to us, – Tomaka suggested.
– Yes, you are right, commander, it is, this is the "view of millions". Our eyes now see what is not given to an ordinary person. Simple rays of light from an object are refracted billions of times before they reach us, on the retina of the eye. In this case, it slightly disorients a person in space, he sees vivid images of something that simply does not exist in reality, – Vella replied, trying hard to control her state.
– I, too, heard about the million, how her gift of all-seeing, became a doom for her. The Pillatecs, fearing that it would become a new kind of evolution, more developed, then took and destroyed all the birds, chicks and eggs, families belonging to the genus millions, – said Pythons.
– Friends, I personally see such beauty for the first time and it's cool! Not counting Raibonne, of course, – Timba said, looking around the area.
– This condition, temporary, will soon let everyone go, apparently, was caused by the overload of our light-sensitive organs. Now, the brain will start to filter out everything superfluous and we will start to see, as we always look, – Vella encouraged everyone and only Timba, only disappointed with this free high.
It took about half an hour, as the false colors began to disappear and everything around came to the intergalactic norm of perception of bodies. Timba, no longer so happy, but only grumbled and for some reason, pressed himself on the eyeballs, apparently trying to still maintain the effect of millions.
The terrain was not very different from Raibonnovskaya, which greatly facilitated the process of work on the placement of things and the creation of a temporary base for the expedition. The specially burned part of the clearing began to serve as a starting point for the crew and a gathering place at the end of the group's hike.
Here, it has been standing for a long time, good stable weather, a little dry, but quite tolerable. A light breeze, slightly bends the tops of the trees, the crowns of which glow with green and red, yellow and blue flowers. Sometimes, from the thicket, you can feel unguided glances, most likely small animals, frightened by the new neighborhood, with unknown people who have flown here.
A variety and a huge number of flowers that have grown around, happily shimmer, in the resulting glades, between the fishing lines. Insects in the grass, working hard to form small empires of power, in their tiny, short lives.
In the blue sky, birds are constantly flying and from time to time, you can even see their love scenes, then severe battles for territory.
Although there are no people, high-rise buildings, or smart cars on Malonga One, there is a fuss of those in whom life is located and it always seems to flow. For the crew, the fauna appeared in a completely different form. Not a cold planet, but a kind place, almost a second home. The pleasant energy was felt everywhere.
Large blocks of stone, sometimes cutting through glades, stand like statues created by natural factors. The silent witnesses of time, its constant companions, parts of the structure of the universe, rest here on Malonga One.
Next to the expedition base, there is a small river. Clear water, which does not hide the water world and you can easily see the fish and swimming plants living there. And the water itself, warm to the touch, charming and excellent!
Being on the planet involves a lot of mysterious and unusual things, which may not be seen on Raibonne, despite all its similarities with Malonga the first. Although here, the same trees grow, but they are not the same, a little thicker and longer. This is how it happens, with the whole world around us, in space, on the planets, the views change.
Gathered in a quickly assembled one-story building, the crew of the "Flying Ferix" began to discuss the latest tasks of the assigned expedition.
– Today, we are going to our planned place, which is, as everyone knows, a day's drive from here. As you understand, we can't land directly on that point, because of the underground, non-stone terrain there, which is bad for landing, – Tomaka said.
– Our first task now is to get to the point, find a denser ground and launch the assembly and preparatory transport, – he continued.
