What was the well? The brain's "vault" gave out the following information: "The Kola ultra-deep well is the deepest in the world. Its depth is 12262 meters. It is located in the Murmansk region, 10 kilometers west of the town of Zapolyarny. The well was drilled in the northeastern part of the Baltic Shield solely for research purposes in the place where the lower boundary of the Earth's crust comes close to the Earth's surface. In the best years, 16 research laboratories worked at the Kola ultra-deep well, and they were personally supervised by the USSR Minister of Geology. In 2008 the facility was abandoned. The Kola ultra-deep well is associated with many improbable legends – about the "well to hell", from the bottom of which the screams of sinners are heard, and the drills are melted by the flames of hell".
To get there with the group that was meeting there covertly, Rutra contacted Sergei, a GRU officer that Hent had recommended to him as an assistant; someone he had "worked" with on virtual reality operations. It was a real person from the OAM department. There was no time to investigate why Rutra didn't know that.
Rutra did not hold general meetings, as was the rule at Zero. He didn't have time to do it because of his schedule, and the lists were controlled by the records department, whose head, an old, battle-hardened general, Rutra trusted completely. He shuffled the deck so that the staff of one department did not know who was in the other.
According to the legend in this operation, Sergei was a radical oppositionist, a nationalist, so he very quickly introduced Rutra to "his own" as an ardent anti-Semite. According to the rules of the secret organization – no one in the subsequent chain of contacts should have known the real data of the new associate. He had to be introduced to his superiors by an active member of the brigade who had the right to recruit. This was done without the knowledge of the person being checked. After the new member was verified by his superiors, if he was approved as a member of the team, he was given a secret name, a legend of origin and activity. Rutra learned from Sergei that the "bosses" were interested in influential personalities, preferably connected with the special services or the military-industrial complex. Rutra was presented to them as an employee of the Foreign Intelligence Service, who, because of his patriotic and world outlook views, had fallen into disfavor with the command and was ready to support and help true patriots in saving the Motherland for the sake of liberating Russia from the "yoke of invaders". For this Rutre was invented a wonderful legend, which was not particularly different from the true one, as in post-Soviet Russia there were more than half of them. Namely – labor and political activity of his parents, associated with the Communist Party, the military past of his grandparents, and his Komsomol past. Since the past of the Zero employees was simply "erased" from history and another one was invented instead, Rutra was not afraid of being exposed: the past matched. According to legend – Rutra was given a secret name: Yuri Gagarin (or Cosmonaut).
