(specifically fleet commanders), who, with the included chameleons, appeared at the presidential residence. Her guards and she saw people, but of different height. The invirs were the highest (up to 4 m), not much lower than the Murlyk, and the Stetenas are almost as tall as the Earthlings. All were in armor, only Stetenes in elegant space suits. Commander Stetenov did not jump on one leg, he simply levitated. It seemed that he was rolling like a robot. His deputy followed her closely. Faina solemnly handed the commander Stetenov a casket in which there were two vessels. In one is white powder (atomic gold), in the other, hermetically sealed, hydrofluoric acid (as solvent).

- Ambassador Alex, I hope you can find a place where it is possible to cure a dear guest?
- Of course, Madam President. Please follow me, ”I turned to the Stetens.
After we left the residence, I asked them:
- Fly my shuttle or yours?
“You are flying your own, and we are following you,” at that time I felt cold in my chest. Intuition signaled immense danger. But what could threaten me at home on Earth? It's probably still moving away from the fight. I flew to a deserted place on a mountain plateau. The shuttle remained hanging above the ground, and I jumped onto the rocky ground.

We were on a small flat rocky ground. On the one hand, from the wind covered almost vertical three hundred meter rock. On the other hand, there were several “steps” five or six meters high. And the site ended with a cliff. Without the ability of levitation, breaking, you can break. The stetes together came from their shuttle. The commander was already in a different spacesuit, and this spacesuit had armor for both legs. My heart fluttered at the foreboding of misfortune. But I could not understand where the danger was coming from. In addition to the three of us in a circle more than 50 km of a single living soul. From the commander? No, on the contrary, it will have to be protected. His deputy? Also no. After all, they are comrades. Moreover, he absolutely trusts her. Otherwise I would not have set it as my deputy.

The ampoule with dissolved atomic gold was already inside the suit of the commander. He crouched, and somehow moving it under the spacesuit, drank it. Zam helped him to lie down more comfortably, and my sense of misfortune began to grow. And suddenly I noticed a protruding point from the “sleeve” of the deputy’s spacesuit. As soon as the movement of her hand began, I applied a time dilation.
- DO NOT DARE!!! HE IS ALSO HELPFUL !!! - with the help of telekinesis and with the fear that she could damage the spacesuit (which is tantamount to severe poisoning and ultimately death), she kissed her so that she flew off to the speed of an express train and spun it in all planes. Considering that there was a rock nearby, Stetenka so crashed into the rock that it turned off for a while. And I immediately, as a hermit crab hiding, covered itself with a force field of maximum strength.
- Phaeton, protective field! Stetenov shuttle into the power trap! - another dome appeared above me, which began to sparkle from the shots that awakened Stetenka, like a Christmas tree.I don’t know why I didn’t cover Stetenka with a power trap (much later it turned out that she had a power trap before the bulb).

- Leshe is in mortal danger! - could not help herself, exclaimed Leah and feeling perfectly where I was, teleported to me. What she saw did not fit in her head. I sat above the commander of the Stetenov under a double force field, and the deputy commander carefully tried to destroy the protective field with his personal weapon. Lia, with the help of telekinesis, snatched her weapon and threw it into the abyss. And she applied to Stetenka so that she, having once again strongly hit the rock, once again turned off. To avoid problems, Leah covered her power trap. But she quickly recovered and easily got rid of the force field. Leah could use an energy cannon or royal chakrams to damage her armor, but she did not. And entered into a hand-to-hand fight. She once again threw Stetenka on the rock so that again her consciousness “ran away”.

Behind Leah, Varkan appeared. Seeing that Leah was fighting with Stetenka, he went to the defense of “his own”. A network was thrown onto Leah in an instant. But against the royal chakrams, the spider's web did not hold out. Leah quickly got rid of the network and applied the Kverkov energy put. Paucare also had no trouble getting rid of them. At that moment, Vyalis appeared. The kick of Vyalis with his tail made the spider tumble and fly like a ping-pong ball. But after a couple of meters the spider restored its orientation and threw out the nets for two purposes at once: Vyalis and Lia. But the flight from hitting the tail did not have time to stop and with all the dope ran into the rock. Leah, having seen that Stetenka had already come to herself, and it takes some time for her to free herself from the net, she covered herself with a force field.

And then Invir appeared. Seeing that Leah and Arikhon were fighting with his co-fighters, he defended his own sails. He started fencing with Vyalis and fully brought to life Stetenka, who immediately grappled with Leah, who had removed the force field. Vyalis quickly realized that he could not cope with Invir and also covered himself with a force field, trying to gain time and try to somehow attack. Varkan already came to his senses and rushed at Leah. At that moment, a koshak appeared. Seeing that his chief of staff was alone against three (Vyalis was under power protection at that time), he threw a power cap on the spider's arm, and also acted on Stetenka somehow. Because she began to move like a drunk, not knowing where and why she was going.

Jumping six feet tall, he was able to dodge Invir's powerful claws. Despite the fact that Invir was much stronger than a koshak, Murlyka was like Figaro. Mentally influenced Stetenka, making her almost insane. And Invir chose a convenient moment, returned her to a normal state, and she began to fight Leah. Leah could use a pulse gun or other deadly weapon, but did not use it. Suddenly it became dark, even if the eye was cut out. As I later learned, Murlyka set up a force field that does not transmit light radiation. For him it was all the same whether there is light or not. Like our cats, he practically saw in the dark. But suddenly something incomprehensible and unbelievable happened. Koshak's power shield disappeared, and all but me were bound by fire shackles. Any attempt at movement responded very painfully in the body of everyone.

“Elder, who are you protecting?” - hissed with anger Invir. And then there was a rumble. The fire-breathing three-headed dragon appeared. He calmly walked to the rock, shaking the ground with his gait and "crouched" near the rock. Beside him, the elder of the inquisitors “manifested”, ridiculously moving his mustache-hairs.
“I am trying to prevent a devastating war between the intermediate civilizations and yours.” Which you, instead of extinguish - incite, - the dragon's answer boomed.
“I defended my allies.”
- Eh, Invir, Invir. Not having understood, entered into a stupid brawl. It is excusable of young people.But you lived almost a thousand galactic years (I immediately figured: one galactic year equals about 3.5 Earth years, which means Inviru about three and a half thousand Earth years). And the fight between the commanders of the Alliances, which could turn into a war between civilizations of different levels of development, is generally a shame.
- And what should I have done when they beat not only my commanders, but also my chief of staff? - countered Koshak.

“Elder, please release from your shackles,” trying to keep the requesting notes in his voice from slipping, Invir pleaded, “after them my wool does not recover.”
Dragon removed from all the fire shackles.
“I want to hear the truth,” the dragon’s voice thundered over the gorge. “First, cancel the alarm in your fleets, otherwise you will be left without them!” I'm not going to joke with you! Destroy all the fleet! Baby, why are you still under the hood? Take off ... Read more →
