OUTCAST 49
Co-Chairman of the Intergalactic Commission on Science and Culture Powell himself contacted the filmmakers by grabbing Volos in the lobby of the Galactic University during a break between sessions of the session. It seems that the Wagner brigade has become something like a helpline for high-ranking ecumenical officials, where it has become fashionable and “correct” to voice installation things and complex questions. Powell winked at Volos and said that the "nasty PhDs" also have something to discuss with the audience - not only Gilats and Wallace rule the global processes.They decided to shoot at the university department in the anatomy. Powell made sure that the frame would show, but not clearly, the corpses on the tables, the vessels with organs and mock-ups of the human body, posters and diagrams. Lilith and Maat put on the light, and Thor and Wagner, under their command, moved tables with bodies back and forth, medical devices for a good background. Volos, in order to start a con

I'm slowly growing into Jedi, - Masa giggled, connecting Skype with the hologravimeter, so that it turned out as if Br was sitting at the table with them. I did not pervert and just brought Skype to the full screen of the plasma, and I myself lay down with a flask of beer on the bed, watching Hot and Wolverine sitting with cups of coffee. These two mostly talked, telling me what happened in Marchand, what is known about Grog, and what, presumably, his plans. Everything was very presumptuous, speculation and comparisons.I only added facts by telling Hot about what Galaxy did to Joy - this is still a real crime. Some kind of Jedi brotherhood does not exist, and Joy himself climbed where he shouldn't, but still "ours are being beaten." Moreover, Joy was digging specifically for this very program of theirs. Hot did not like Joy's story - he remembered that another Jedi, a couple of years older than us, named Deb, also disappeared under unclear circumstances. And according to rumors, he s

Ravens are generally entertaining interlocutors. Jack and Nora, I was well received, especially when they found out that I did not claim their territory and food. On this sultry afternoon, they had a lot of things to do - drag branches and candy gold pieces to the nest, croak with neighbors, but they gladly took time for me to chat and play. Jack dragged nuts under the gate, and the three of us took stones below in their beaks, flew up to the gate and dropped them, trying to hit the nut with a stone and crack the shell. The nuts were delicious, and the game was fun and exciting - hitting a nut with a “stone dropped from a beak” from a height of 7 meters is not easy, it requires fine calculation and luck.We sat at the gates of the cemetery, shining with black plumage, laughing with sly eyes, discussing the passing living, the recently driven dead. The cemetery is not big and there were only two this week. Grandfather, who rather quickly went along the otherworldly route and did not pa

Gilats had a surprisingly athletic and firm ass. Of course, the official of the universal scale did not shave her, but her hair was soft and even silky. Everything happened almost by itself. Still, he was one of the best diplomats in the galaxy. Wagner stayed with him in a country house not far from Manowakh, the capital of the East Bank, a powerful financial and industrial country that was part of the SGC. The two discussed PR strategies in some areas - Wagner was recommended by respected people as a gifted and open-minded specialist.In the evening, looking at the sunset, which painted the skyscrapers of the City with scarlet smudges, at the delicate pale blue sky and the huge golden disk of the full moon, they drank wine, casually chatting about this and that, without much delving into any political topics. The conversation was like a neat acquaintance. Gilats only touched on political issues, listened attentively to Wagner's first thoughts, gently turning the conversation to anoth

Hoth entered Play Galaxy as Reggie, who used to work with Steve when he was a young freelancer - a rogue. Then, ten years ago, this cunning IT guy helped Reggie, under this name Hot was smuggling weapons into one distant bloody wilderness. Steve made a scheme for him to cheat the military export control system from Leadernia. Now Steve has risen strongly and worked as a department head at Play Galaxy and was responsible for debugging, refining and updating major programs. He found a round belly and generally puffed up in volume, but continued to look younger, dressing in a coarse sweater, jeans and sneakers, shaking untidy tresses. Hoth rode up to him with semi-criminal chic - in an expensive car, in a suit and copious jewelry, well imitating an expensive classic troika and gold bracelets, chains and rings.Hot told Steve that he had long ago given up the risky and troublesome gun business and switched to "girls". Type Reggie works as the deputy head boss of a large chain of brothels

Out of habit, it was difficult to manage with four long paws, I hobbled to the mirror and looked at myself. Long black muzzle with pendulous cheeks, sharp protruding long ears. He looked into his brown, dim eyes, mentally laughed "Abrvalg", and got down to business. In two hours, I literally sniffed the whole house. The hut almost corresponded to Hoth's scheme, but behind the wall in Grog's bedroom I sniffed out a secret passage, a door disguised by a carpet led somewhere down - coolness blew from the cracks. At the head of the owner's bed he smelled a hidden safe, by the smell there were papers and leather, probably folders.I tried to closely interact with the consciousness of Lazio, at least in order to learn how to move on these paws. In general, life brought me closer to dogs than many. In Homland, when they went on guard, the young organisms of the cadets appointed as sentries-patrols for the interior, of course, wanted to sleep at night. But it was difficult to find where to li

Volos and Lilith were contracted to make a film for Powell about the achievements and current problems of modern healthcare. Most of the filming took place at the Alam Medical Center on Cepheus 4th B. It was, in fact, a whole hospital city with its own airfield, helipad, power plant. About 50,000 physicians and scientists worked here, and up to half a million patients were treated simultaneously. The Center was the umbrella organization for dozens of other hospitals, where millions of patients were treated, and remotely consulted patients and doctors on different planets in all the states that were part of the GCC. He worked under commercial contracts and under state medical assistance programs.Powell at one time built this city, being the head physician here for 15 years. Now that he had gone into big politics, his residence remained in Alam, where he spent most of his time, where everyone around him respected and even revered. Here he was engaged in scientific work, studying ways t

Galaxy Sec Colonel Jake Smith, youthful and glamorous, was waiting in a large leather chair in an Italian restaurant in a small alcove for two behind a curtain. A motley shirt with an open collar, black hair slicked with gel, a face moderately exhausted by vices and subordination, smiled affably at the entrance of Hoth. He waved his hand in a broad gesture, catching Hoth's hand and shaking it firmly. It was a strange mixture of hacker, rock 'n' roll and thug, with a strong sense of authority. Smith talked throughout the meeting, smiling all the time and waving his arms wide:- Well done, Reggie, for coming to us with this case. I discussed with older boys - a good topic, five points. We agree with your conditions and we have nothing against the market with cops and bandits on the ground. But there is, in short, a moment that you do not know about.The colonel meaningfully drank the juice from the glass and continued:- In the next six months there will be very serious shifts at the ve
