– I'm not a girl, but my legs are shaking, too, – Timba said.
Only Pythons didn't say anything, he stood behind Tomaka, who was sitting at the table, and just listened to what everyone was saying.
– The culprit will be identified when we return to Raibonne. It's not the first time you've all flown, but it's the first time I've flown. And, the hands and feet, I have, do not tremble, and you, arrange a panic. Let's all calm down and continue our expedition further, – the commander tried to speak evenly and calmly, suppressing the people's fright with his voice.
– If this is the beginning of the expedition, wouldn't it be better if we went back? – Vella suggested.
– It would be so simple, and who will finance it, Tomaka, me or Vella, or maybe Pythons? – Timba asked, turning as if to the side, to an unknown person.
– Is it better for everyone to die like Trimon? Who will need these treasures then? – Vella asked, looking around at everyone.
– The situation has escalated, I propose a vote, in the end, money, it's just money and life, you can't buy it for them – – Tomaka offered to the entire crew.
– I agree, so I think it will be fair, – said the previously silent Pythons.
– So do I, for the vote, – Timba said, now indifferently, putting himself in the hands of fortune.
– My decision already, I see, will not change anything, so I also vote, – said Vella, and without hiding her feelings, she was upset and seemed to cry, but immediately held back the tears.
The vote was passed, the votes were counted, and the majority was "for". We decided to make a new plan for the expedition, without the participation of the flight engineer, whose work will now be performed by Timba.
All the basic preparations for the landing of the capsules and landers were still made by the technicians at Raibonne. All that remained was to deliver it all to the place, that is, to Malonga first, together with the members of the expedition.
After only a few hours, the team relaxed a little and began to forget about what had happened. People moved on and no one wanted to talk about what had happened. As if nothing had happened.
The flight engineer's cell was moved to the freezer compartment, where medical instruments and special laboratory flasks were stored for biological research until they returned to the Ribonne.. Where then, according to the law, they will give it to the local authorities, for further examination and finding out about the situation that happened, on the "Flying Ferix".
