Прохор Озорнин - On the Wings of Hope - Prose

“How dare you defile a Divine Word! You will not be able to stay in this house, devoted to Him, anymore! We have His Word!”

“And that is great. Follow the way of everything blessed, granted to you. Grow this blessed seed in yourself – only then you can count on your perfection, only then you will move closer to your Father. Remember, each of us is His creation, and each of us is eternal. We are all Gods – at least in the potential. As His fraction, possessing all His traits in a germ, we can travel a path from a human – through the angelic human – to the incarnated God himself. And yet we can still remain at an animal stage – some of us have been living so for countless centuries without change – and the fate of those is truly unenviable. It's for us to decide that – for everyone, and this is our most important and most fateful choice.”

“This is enough! I will not bear your presence here any longer! Leave this house of our Lord now!”

“Farewell, father.”

Planet – garden? What a bullshit! I will rather believe in the mechanized iron planet!

Love makes the world go around? It's the physical strength that moves it!

There are other inhabited words? But our apparatus hasn’t discovered any signs of life on the planets which are accessible to us – all worlds must be lifeless! We are the unique source of life in the entire Universe!

A man can emit light? Are you even in your mind?! Tell me now, that space is filled with invisible green little men!

A man is capable to change the world surrounding him with his own thoughts? Oh, yeah, sure! I can surely change it with my own hands, but thoughts… I haven't even heard a bigger nonsense than this!

I am a potential God? I am a human! And leave all those potential for someone else to care!

My feelings create the radiations, affecting me and my neighbors? Do I bear a responsibility for negative feelings? I would rather now affect you in a… hm… real way – hit your dummy head with my fists!

Space is not empty? It's filled with the essence of ours? Yeah, yeah, do not lie like a gas meter! Scientists haven't even discovered anything like that – and it simply does not exist! What? Whether I can feel a difference between a temple and a prison's atmospheres? Certainly, no! Wonder why? Cause there is none!

How does a person feel a glance? What sort of noticed flashing spark can arise between two people? There are just two options here – either it all seems to you, or you have a really diseased imagination!

How did Christ cure people? Oh, heck, here you are again, starting to tell tales about him. I have heard plenty of those tales in my childhood already! No more!

Armageddon? Time of challenges? We have been stuffed with these children fairy tales already, feed someone else with them! We are adult and disbelief in such nonsense!

He was standing, surrounded by several tens of his allies. Awakened warriors of this world.

“We will not despair, and we will not turn back. Do you remember, how you have aided me when I was still a schoolboy? You have helped me out of pure motivation. The world needs the same sort of aid now.”

“Yes, George, I remember. I have not forgotten. You are right, we will not surrender. We will keep working.”

“What wasn't possible today, would blossom tomorrow! How wonderfully you have spoken that day!”

Alice has approached him and smiled.

“The faithful one never gives up, the knowing one will bring his knowledge into the world to disseminate darkness of ignorance!”

And once again Pavel has repeated his words told by him once.

“Dragons of rage will be defeated!”

“Let the spiritual joy blossoms!”

“Let each new day be truly new!”

He heard these words, and tears have filled his eyes – even though he almost never cried.

It seemed that all of them have decided to remind him of his last years of life in this world. They repeated his words – each one repeated something most dear to his heart. They all approached him and friendly clapped on his shoulder, encouraging. They – awakened brave warriors of this world.

“Yes, my friends. We will continue our struggling. We have a path, chosen by us, and our debt lies before us. We should help people understand a lot of things – but each one of them should also feel by himself where does a truth and a lie rests. The planet must survive. We have done much but should make even more.

Our dreams live in the heart of the Universe and I beg my divine Father for the bright day when they will come true, to come at the long last.”

To : Admiral of interstellar space fleet G.

From : Supreme commander in chief of strategic military-space forces of The Empire, O.

Rank : Top secret.

Planet Z-1776, discovered in cluster CH-35 of the solar system E represents a strategic source of the Liberium element. The potential reconnoitered value is equivalent to 10 billion krejgons/year.

Ecosystem : the Planet is similar to corresponding parameters of our planet of the Outcome.

Population : It is populated with mainly reasonable natives of the organic form of life. Approximate quantity is 30 billion units.

Political system: Entire-planet utilitarian-autocratic state of the collectivist type with tyranny elements.

Technocratic development : rather primitive flying machines of low layers of the atmosphere; absence of nuclear and hyper-ballistic arms; the physics of mass effect is unknown; the physics of a local time field is unknown; orbital space satellites were not found.

The difference of technological potentials : 98 %.

Dragged-out war potential : 0 %.

The rate of strategic danger by Rejgon scale : L-5 (very low).

First contact : Local natives have shown a high level of the guarded animosities and have refused to carry out an exchange of processed units of Liberium on offered by us space marine food rations, costume jewelry, and Coca-Cola.

Based on the above-stated fragment from the report of a research democratic flotilla of space bombers of strategic tasks K52, I order to perform technological militaristic ownership in conformity with Makristan's strategy by the following means:

1. Soft orbital bombardments of strategic communication objects of the enemy by using thermonuclear arms and zero-particles generators.

2. Capture of the detected central settlement by assault groups of space infantrymen of K52 flotilla.

3. Deployment of the system of diplomatic and medical aid to the natives, who have suffered from the “act of nature”. Perform parallel ownership and control over leading Liberium mines along with deployment of military bases in their vicinities.

4. Maintenance of military-diplomatic control during the three-year period of Liberium's mining.

The order is to carry out immediately upon the reception. The report on the done work is expected in 5 planetary days.

P.S. It's a question of strategic importance, G., any regret and uncertainty will become a potential hindrance, which contradicts with the high mission of our great Empire.

And may the Maker be with us!

Once upon a time, there was a False Righteous man, living on this earth, and he was cruel in heart and unfair to people in his life. Himself he considered as a very special, true one, and other people were but small indecent fry, undeserving time of life in these eyes of his. Character of his was unaccommodating, haughty and greedy to a high degree, and hard it was for those surrounding him to stand nearby – either grumble, or irascibility, or even hatred, which have grown inside him, did he poured upon nearby ones, if failed to satisfy desires of his own at expense of others.
