The hands have moved one notch forward and a moment, designated for the long awaited release

to the surface, it became even closer. Frankly, that their there waiting, he had no idea. The scientists hypothesize, spear broke in the scientific debate, but to the same conclusion was not reached. Some believed that before a group of intelligence appear only the surface of the planet, having lost its former greatness. Some talked of new life forms that have emerged over the long term. Well, someone just thinking out loud, that the members of the intelligence will be lost from the harmful solar radiation. It could be the last day of my life, so he decided to spend it usefully, and fell asleep. In the dream appeared as a past life. Work, family, close friends who find themselves in an instant, "the number of allowable losses among bankrupt the world's population." Anyone who managed to escape, was considered something deserved a new life, an indicator of a certain status in society. However, society is composed of exactly the same rich, influential politicians and schemers, it is unclear how the inherited missing the Vault. Because the state and links to boast here was not to anyone, and therefore a new life, in his view, was merely the result of the fact that one "perfect" time, some were higher, those who remained on the surface and sank into oblivion. The wellknown principle of all life - "the strongest will survive" - he would have changed to a corresponding reality - the "survival of the richest." The alarm roused him from his sleep and forced to jump on the spot. Such signals are in the shelter were rare and meant they were in this situation, only one - it was time to go to the surface. In the closet hung a special form, it was given in advance, so as not to waste time dressing up reconnaissance. Another moment and a suit, once used by the troops of chemical protection, hid it in his bosom. A couple of turns, three hatches between compartments, and ahead looms out of the vault. The gateway has gathered the whole group, and the commander gave the final instructions. Weapons used only in extreme cases, to report any discomfort immediately, the syringe with quick poison, just in case, is located in the sleeve of a protective suit. The group is called, sat on the track, head and fingers did na unpretentious display electronic lock. Like a spaceship Refuge had inner and outer bay exit. For members of the group closed the hatch at the beginning of the external compartment, and then opened the hatch in front of them internal. In the inner compartment was a lift to the surface. Scientists have calculated that the generator is located on the surface, should not have to suffer, and because the rise was to take about twenty minutes. In case payments are not met, then the group had to use backup generator, and an elevator would have been raised twice as slow. After forty minutes, the elevator stopped at the last line, separating the group from the outside world. The commander of the cast all look and slightly trembling fingers made this line open to them. Six people are returning to the surface! Lift picked them done in the mountain cave, obstroennuyu so that not only take people in the shelter, but also at the right time to release back. Builders perfectly coped with its task, and the vaults of the cave is not only withstood the end of the world, but also kept the look. It seems that since the Earth was a descent on the strength of day. His fingers danced a few times on panels of electronic locks, and the group came to the surface of the planet in the truest sense of the word was brought before the eyes of a new world that they had to equip.

Scientists Vault one and all were wrong. No death rays, black holes and distorted spatiality was not. Around it was the same way as in the moment was taking the elevator down past the "elite". Added only silence. There was more noise of machines, people shouting. Through sound filters costume penetrated only silence. However, moving away from the station pre-reception (this is officially called the cave), the group was faced with the fact that they could not predict the minds of the underworld. At the table were three ... sitting with a large stretch of the imagination could be called human beings. Something human in them actually survived, but in every movement, in the form they slipped something impels does not relate himself and them. Not only did the trio unceremoniously seated at the tables, so it is also exchanged cards. Judging by the cries that came before the group and cut through the surrounding silence, greeters played a "fool." Someone from the group tried to grab the machine, hanging on his shoulder, but the commander of the rapid movement of the hand made it clear that the time for decisive action is not ripe. - Finally came out - turning, or to his comrades, or to the group, said one of the occupants. - Do you want them to climb into the earth, - answered the other, and are widely waved his hand, which was sandwiched card. - Queen. - Bito, - said his companion on the game. - What we do with them? The team leader, a little bolder and a couple of steps closer to the table. - I am pleased to welcome a new kind of planet Earth - he began greeting memorized back in the vault. - On behalf of the surviving human population and the Vault, I authorized to state that we do not wish you evil, and strive for mutually beneficial cooperation. This proposal provoked laughter among the occupants. They even stopped the game, completely surrendering their captors attack of laughter. The commander is clearly pleased, because, firstly, in response to aggression is not followed, and, secondly, the laughter of all time was considered a sign of friendliness. - Our group would like to know who you are, how long you live on this planet, and for what purpose we met - he dared to continue. Otsmeyavshis, one of the trio threw a glance at the student commander, what has led to a state of stupor. - Who are we asking? We are the ones who ruled your world has been through - look at the spread wristwatch - a million years. Specifically, on this planet we're on the force for twenty minutes. A goal concerning your expedition, and all that live in the so-called shelter rather practical - to destroy. All members of the group immediately grabbed their machines. The commander decided not to lag behind and took off the fuse arms, brought him to the speaker a stranger. - We do not want to cause you harm! - Shouted the commander. - As I said, we come in peace ...

- The World? - Interrupted his tirade. - What kind of world can you say? For a long time, we observe your planet, and the world then and does not smell. Initially, we even tried as an experiment, put an end to your hatred of species. It did not work. Then we decided to test you. At certain points in time, we threw open to you, taking advantage of that, you would be able to achieve the highest levels of development. But you have used these discoveries, only to destroy, as much as possible of their kind. We have given atom, and instead use it as fuel, you have created the bomb. After that we finally lost interest in you. The experiment, called "humanity" had collapsed. But even here you make your adjustments. Using these resources, only a handful hid under the ground. This means that over time, history will repeat itself again. You are leaving the shelter, build a new world. It is undoubtedly a land of peace and tranquility as long as you need to share. Then one of your children pick up a stick to take away someone else or to protect her. In response to get the same stick. Would call friends, those friends, and once again will conflict. Then some wise guy will guess a stone tied to a stick ... And we need it? We could do go down, but decided to wait. Curiosity threw you into the deepest valleys. And now the lust to get what else can share and collect yourself, you made up. While we are talking something. It's time to put an end to you and begin to create a new world. A world without people. The Captain picked up the jaw and after the last words of the skin felt that really comes to an end. He tried to distort the gate machine, but a strange numbness paralyzed the entire body. Fingers gripping arms relaxed, and the machine fell at his feet. A hand reached out to the spot on the sleeve, which was hidden syringe with poison. Realizing that to happen, but unable to stop himself, the commander took out a syringe and, taking off the protective cap from the needle, introduced into the body deadly contents. Before you faint views of the participants had this picture - three men heading towards the station pre-admission. This meant that humanity is left to live only forty minutes.
