– It turns out, yes. This machine just scans and transmits. A supercomputer is needed to receive and process the information.
– And the one in Yamantau, will it pull it? I missed that part.
– Of course, the power, I think, is sufficient, how without it, it's a control center.
– And there's one here?
– You're such a baby. Or are you hinting? – Yarovitovich laughed.
– It's already professional," Ruthra replied guiltily.
– It's a chronic thing with all of us," the leader said with a smile. – Ruthra, pull yourself together, take a wider view of the world. I'll take care of my own. You go upstairs, if there's anything you need to check on Zero, check it with Hent, and get on with it. I know your list, check everyone, don't get confused about it now. There might be a trick we didn't think of. Otherwise we'll be looking for supercomputers and we'll miss a small but key link.
– I need to document my work, put a resolution that on this item you will conduct or it is completed here.
– I told you I'll deal with my own, but if your Hent needs a piece of paper, bring it to me, I'll sign it.
– Can I ask you a personal question?
– I'm listening.
– How long have you and Hent known each other?
– Hmm," he smiled again, shaking his head. – He and I are bastards, but we're the only two who know it.
Jarowitowicz laughed; it was clear he was joking.
– We have been through hell and heaven together. Only after going through fire, water and especially copper pipes with a person, while remaining friends, can one trust uncompromisingly. So that's how we know each other. Give him a hint, don't let him waste all the cognac, he's 50 years old after all. Come on, I'll be in my office.
They got out, and found themselves in a different world, or rather, a world that understood how fragile the real world really was. Ruthra contacted Isa in his quarters and asked him to bring him a computer and printer.
– What do you need them for? – she asked.
Ruthra wanted to be indignant. On second thought, he didn't, guessing intuitively that there must be something else behind it, because he'd asked the computer. And so it was.
– Print a record of the events.
– You still haven't learned how to use your powers, it's because you're in a hurry. If you had completed your training last time, then you would know that you don't need a printer.
