Special correspondent of NTV. How she waited for this appointment. Years of goblin work in the lowest and most unnoticeable positions, searching for opportunities and chances to shine, the desire to appear even for a second in the frame. And finally, the dream came true idiot. Ahead, there are still goals and more abruptly. For example, receiving the TEFI premium and switching to Channel One with its analytical program. Svetlana was an ambitious and not vain girl. And here is her first task - leaving the MCC of the Federal Space Agency and the headquarters of the aerospace defense forces to get an interview from the directors of these departments, about the reality of the threat of an approaching asteroid. Svetlana was not particularly pleased with this task, since she sincerely considered this situation with a meteorite — delusional. But her determination to prove the correctness of her appointment to this position outweighed personal motives and conviction in the uselessness of this plot.

But, nevertheless, Svetlana carefully prepared for the trip, choosing clothes, putting on make-up and wise hair. Time was running out, so all the fees reminded her of her student years, when some handsome man, suddenly called and invited, for no reason at all, to the nightclub "to hang out." Everything is fast, everything is in a hurry, everything is with nerves and shouts, all with constant jambs and missteps. But at the set time she was ready and waited for the camera car at her house. While there was time, Svetlana quickly collected information about the incident itself, studying, using the iPod, the pages of the worldwide network. She was especially interested in the website of the non-state center for the study of cosmic phenomena in the USA and Canada. Young and, apparently, not a lot of mental abilities, people, deftly using scientific data, simple and intelligible for most people, language (albeit English), explained what the hell is going on in the sky. “What we observe cannot be a reality, just as if you see a person hovering in free flight over asphalt or passing through walls, a person. When you see this on TV or on the presentation of David Copperfield, you understand that this is the focus, and there is a scientific rationale and secrets. But earthly science cannot substantiate what is happening now in space, which leads to the emergence of many theories and assumptions ... ), a gesture showed that she sat down.

While they were leaving the center on the Moscow Ring Road and further towards Korolev, Svetlana was reading the article. According to young scientists, the main “misunderstandings” in the phenomenon were: a change in the speed of movement of an object, which began to decline sharply for no apparent reason. The second is a change in the trajectory of movement, again without a reason known to modern science. The third is an independent luminescence of an object (the object shone, even without being in the rays of the Sun). And the fourth - the lack of rotation of the object itself. “We can only guess and guess why and what is happening, but no one can give you an exact answer. It remains, it is hoped that when this object approaches the Earth, we will be able to obtain additional data about it by conducting additional measurements. But while it is still very far away and we will have to be patient, ”the guys summed up their article. Svetla thought that this article could become the basis of its plot. “I think the children will not be offended at me if I“ splash ”their thoughts and thoughts, and I’ll do a bit of work for the Russian audience.“- Svetlana thought and already imagined what and how she would speak behind the scenes, at the moment when computer models of an asteroid, planets and intelligent faces of academicians will be shown on the screen.

At the MCC, they were met by the secretary of the center head and escorted them directly to the hall. She has already been here, though as part of other working groups and in a different capacity. She was always amazed by the scale of the hall and the number of org. technology, the appointment of most of which she could not even imagine. Viktor Mikhailovich - the head of the MCC, with a very anxious face, on which there was a forced smile, took them to the place set for the filming and said: “Lord NTVeshniki, let's essentially and very quickly! We know very little, we work a lot. The guys at the station have not slept for three days. Therefore, I will briefly say this: there is no threat, there is no reason for panic, even if the body crosses the Earth's orbit, we have the means to destroy it. This is the way the interview will be! ”Svetlana already knew what he was about how to get an exclusive. Sometimes the journalists themselves passed the questions and answers to their interviewees, sometimes on the contrary, there were also long debates on agreeing the questions themselves and the answers to them. But she met such a peremptory dictation for the first time. “Well, let's do it like this, but can I ask myself one more question?” She asked Viktor Mikhailovich, but he shook his head negatively. Interview recorded in five minutes with three duplicates. Almost a record. If Viktor Mikhailovich had not yet been so gloomy and sullen, then the resulting material could be called positive.

While on her way to the headquarters of the East Kazakhstani forces, Svetlana continued to search the Internet, looking for additional information. She tirelessly copied pieces of text that attracted her attention. Suddenly, she saw an alert on VC that a new video had appeared on the BBC. She opened the window and with obvious amazement looked at a short report from the American colleagues from the NASA office, where the head of this institution gave an interview. Svetlana was struck by the identity of the information itself and the expression of the American's face to his Russian colleague. “What the hell is that?” Thought Svetlana. “What are you looking out for there, Svetik?” - he tore her from the thoughts of Michael’s goal: “You’ll overlook the most interesting things in this life!” “I’m working so much, unlike some!” Svetlana snapped. She really did not like Michael. Although he was very brutal and all the women in the news section went crazy about him, he repelled her with his demonstration of superiority over her. If many women are turned on, then Svetlana was infuriated. She was a fierce supporter of gender equality. “Are you hinting at me?” Well, in vain! I also work, and not worse. Only if your work with information is mine with a picture. If I take you crookedly and from the wrong angle, then everyone will not care what you say there, it will be interesting to everyone that you have it with your face and legs! ”Mikhail continued the communication with a laugh, clearly ignoring the order hidden in Svetlana’s reply do not disturb her. She looked angrily at the man and he laughed and added: “Now I will take you off from below and then see what people will remember more - your rubbish or the pink color of your panties!” Svetlana raised her eyebrows in surprise, not understanding how he knew what she is really wearing pink panties with a black plush. She began to look for an answer to this question, but Mikhail himself helped her find it, pointing to the camera on the floor, which was looking in her direction and laughed again. “Dummy!” Svetlana blurted out, turning her legs away from the camera’s eye. Michael with a smile fiddled with the remote and on several mounting screens her legs, slightly spaced, appeared, between which the pink strip of her panties was brightly highlighted. “Turn it off!” Svetlana demanded evil, feeling how her anger began to boil in her blood. But Mikhail silently ignored her demand and began to show with his finger how he strokes her image between the legs.“What an evil girl! Probably not a man for a long time! Now we caress you, and Svetachka will be kind and very beautiful! And then all evil and terrible is sitting! ”- Mikhail continued to mock Svetlana and stroked the image on the screen with his finger. Instead of an explosion of righteous anger, the girl suddenly experienced a terrible feeling of weakness and sadness. Michael, deliberately or accidentally, hit the sore point. Svetlana has not had a man for a long time.

The last (oh, no, final!) Time was last summer, and then by chance, after (more precisely in the end) ...
