Рамиль Латыпов - Fragment in Space life

The trial passed quickly, and they were sent to Mars. They were put in a freezing chamber, and they instantly found themselves in place. The guys first rested at the resort, settled in and experienced (Vector said that it was acclimatization). They earned a little extra money (there is no such thing as extra money, and they were convicted with confiscation of property) in one of the rest homes (where political prisoners lived). People who lived here talked about the problems of that time, and our young heroes really liked their communication. Standing out from the crowd was Denis, a man in his thirties with strong eyes and a pleasant face. His distinctive feature was his slightly hoarse voice. At heart, he was not a stupid person, who knew the meaning of life, and saw for himself a higher goal in life than sitting here.

Once talking to her, he confessed that he had an escape plan and a plan to seize power. Her teenage heart, which wanted everything new, happily accepted this offer.

A year has passed since that conversation. Klara had half a year left to sit, and one day while wandering around the library, he found the code of laws of the empire published at the beginning of the Emperor’s reign. It was a large book with a black, dusty cover. Reading the code of laws, our hero involuntarily remembered his dream, but at that time Denis (whom everyone called Denis and we will also call him that) came to him

– “Hi Klarochka, you’re reading old books again” – pointing to one of the children’s books – " like this?”

“I’m reading the Imperial Code of Laws, this book was written a long time ago, but the laws don’t change because of their…”

“I’ll tell you something else,” Denis interrupted. But after some silence, they started laughing at the fact that they were fighting over a book.

“Come to my place, I have a nice cup of tea.”

“Why not?”

He was always happy with her, and he liked her. He was jailed for life because he punched the director of the store where he worked as a development manager in the face (he called Denis a thief, but this was not true). Who had worked the case so far that a life sentence for such a trivial crime was his salvation from exile from the Empire.

Exile was the most terrible punishment, when a person is expelled from the universe on a spaceship and not allowed back. How could she have known then that in a year’s time he would be jailed and she would find a new friend in Denis? And Vector died six months ago, at the hands of a political prisoner who took a fancy to a young boy. Klara was very saddened by the loss of her best friend and made love to Denis, although she felt nothing but friendship for him. She began to wonder, and guessed that Dorn had set him up. She thought about how to get revenge on him and she had an insidious plan of revenge. But you couldn’t use it here. And she, lying on the bed with Denis, said

– “You remember, you offered me to help you escape, I’m ready, what are we going to do?” – she said with such a threatening look that Denis was not ready for this conversation at this time, and he defiantly began to kiss her.

But let’s leave them for a while, they can’t talk right now, because they are busy with each other. I want to tell you about life in the empire of the constellation “Islands”. Every citizen, here they were called” zino”(translated from the ancient language-resident, cohabitant) He could almost reach the Imperial Throne, although the Emperor had never changed in the history of the empire. But according to the law, this is possible. There are many legends about the Emperor. An example is that he came up with his 200 laws by the age of 16, that the imperial throne was not easy for him, but because of his strong willpower, all difficulties were painless and easy. In the empire, almost everyone lived well, and the economic growth was very large.

The emperor wants to conquer the entire universe. In all the cities of the empire, everyone lived in anticipation of war, although one did not know whether it would come or not. The backbone of the emperor’s army was made up of space pilots, who after graduation will be led by Leonid. The emperor also has a beautiful daughter, Kira, who is courted by all the governors of the empire, but she is waiting for a better fate.

After that conversation, an hour passed and Denis caught Klara in the dining room and said – " I need to sign up as a volunteer in the army and then our plan will succeed, because this is the only way I will be released.

Said and done, they had no trouble enlisting in the empire’s regular forces. And the order to start military operations was given a month after the recording of our friends. They were put on an interuniverse ship with other soldiers.

Klara and Denis sat down next to each other. Denis said, “War is part of my plan.” But she wasn’t thinking about it, he was thinking about Dasha.

“Does she remember me and wait for me, since we’ve been dating since childhood? It was a fun childhood, but I can’t forgive her for one phrase. (Remembers) I once couldn’t take her hat, which got stuck in a tree because of a strong “wind” (Myriad wind). And she said, “You can’t do anything, and also tsoik (a child, a kid named Miriadki). It stung me. I told her not to call me that once, but that resentment remained in me. It is located very deep.

Chapter 2 Shoes or body armor.

– “What’s wrong with you, my friend” – said Denis and Klara woke up, she was sleeping on his shoulder. But Denis didn’t know that.

– “I’m all right” – Klara replied, looking at the watch that Dasha gave him (I’ll tell you about them later) – " We’ve been flying for eight hours.

– “Yes” – Denis answered -" We are still flying fast, that’s when I was transported to Mars, we flew for a whole day” – but Denis did not know how much longer they had to fly and said – “You better sleep, and I’ll wake you up when we arrive.”

And Klara obeyed him without saying anything. She, too, remembered the hard and arduous flight from Myriad to Mars. But the most painful memory for him was the pain of losing Vector, the only friend and lover with whom she cheated on Dasha. But she tried not to think about it and fell asleep on her friend’s shoulder.

When the ship landed at the sorting point T-1723. Denis woke Clara up and they left the ship together. At the exit, they were met by the captain of Ju-Ko, a Chinese man in his forties. He gave the command “form up” and the entire squad of our friends from 20 people formed up. Ju-Ko said, “My name is Ju-Ko, I’m in charge here, my rank is Major.

Everyone understood that the war would bring a lot of pain and suffering, and he said – " We are going to punish neighboring planets in a month, and we will conquer the entire universe, but it depends on you, we don’t need “cannon fodder” we need smart soldiers (after some thought). I hope I’ll meet you in a month when you complete your training. Sergeant Dominguez will be in charge of your squad.” And Ju-Ko pointed to the person standing next to him. He was a tall, dark-skinned man with a commanding voice and incredibly strong eyes. Dominguez gave the word “stand down” and everyone left for practice.

After lights out, she lay in Denis’s arms, and remembered a story that happened on Saturn. He was sent there for zhika (in Myriad words “summer, heat”). She said goodbye to Dasha for a long time and promised to return as soon as possible. She jokingly said – " Do not find someone there on the side.” And as you might have guessed, she found herself “someone” named Kira. She was with her for two months, but it was time to say goodbye and she left her (she was much prettier than Dasha, she was studying to be an interstellar strategist). Upon returning, Dasha realized that something was wrong, but she couldn’t find a better one. She endured all her infidelities and after each infidelity gave her a gift (this only provoked her). Her last gift was a watch (he had a whole big shelf of Dasha’s gifts!!!). It was a clockwork watch, not too large, and hung on a gold chain. And Clara carried them in her black purse, which she took with her almost always.
