The ship of "Ayr", having pulled out from tenacious paws of a powerful gravitational field of a sphere-giant, on okolosvetovoj
speeds left from the opponent. But contrary to command expectations, screens of distant and near detection showed that no
visible changes occur to the dark giant: the sphere did not burn and did not collapse on a part. Though did not pursue leaving
ship.
- To the main Computer to show record of hit of torpedoes, - Gea has in perplexity disposed.
All have clung sights to one of screens.
- Here, look, - has commented on Ars, - the torpedo has precisely blown up on a sphere surface. We have amazed it! And
at once oslabla force of its gravitational field!
- Why it remained whole? - Ajr was perplexed. - Really its covering could sustain influence of such terrible weapon?
Improbably! After all energy of a charge was not reflected from it! Means, the sphere has accepted it?
- All is probable if to assume that it kosmity and to recollect that their ships come back even from antiworlds! - has said Gea
in a complete silence. - we all the same have caused Any damages to the opponent: it does not pursue us, and at us does not
shoot. But look: it is clearly visible that capacity of explosion of a torpedo on a surface of a sphere much less capacity of
explosion in space. Something has extinguished capacity of a charge. But what?
- Active protection? - Has stated a guess of Ajr.
- Gea, you are caused by Zes, - Maudzhett has approached to an armchair of the commander. - Communication is restored,
you can speak with Kejzarom.
There and then the Main Navigator has heard an uneasy voice of the captain:
- What there at you? Gea, all are live? The ship is whole?
- Kejzar, the crew of the ship of "Ayr" welcomes you! - has said aloud Gea, without doing a secret of negotiations with the
captain. - we have sustained the first battle. Damages not considerable also are subject to elimination. It is spent two torpedoes.
The neolearnt ship has received one hit of a torpedo in the case, but outwardly remained is whole. Now we leave from it. The
opponent does not pursue us. Probably, too it is damaged.
- Glory to the Founder! Gea, you are the present commander. To all crew - my gratitude!
- Zes who has attacked us?
