- This is an example so that you can understand my explanations. In order to make it easier to defend against the aggressors, civilizations of roughly the same level of development are combined into Alliances. Naturally, these alliances have their own leadership, commander, chief of staff and the like. If a civilization from an enemy Alliance attacks, soals, under the leadership of the commander of the Alliance, help defend themselves (if intelligence has worked well and they had time to help before the attack began). Such battles happen often. But there are aggressors who want not only to defeat the enemy’s fleet, but to completely destroy some kind of civilization. Inquisitors try to prevent such mayhem. They can fight, restoring justice, on the side of any of the Alliances. Their main task is not to stop the war between civilizations, and not to allow the complete destruction of any civilization.

“Is the inquisitor civilization so powerful that it can conquer any?”
- No, not me. Inquisitors do not belong to any of the civilizations. Inquisitor fighters are selected from different civilizations. These are very powerful fighters. Together, three of them can cope with the thousandth fleet of civilizations of the appropriate level.
- What does the appropriate level mean?
- Well, let's say, comparing with various development of Earthlings. For countries such as our Atlantis, their own team of inquisitors, for the barbarians of Asia and Africa - their own inquisitors. With such strength and skills that you possess now, you can cope with any army on Earth. With a certain skill and experience, you can stand alone even with the defensive forces of our Atlantis. Similarly, there are civilizations with different levels of development: for example, intermediate (which recently went into space and began to establish diplomatic relations with other civilizations). And there are higher civilizations that are much more advanced intermediate.

- Earthlings belong to the highest?
- Alas, Ney. So far, only to intermediate. But once in the past (several thousand years before your birth), the commander of the Alliance of Higher Civilizations was the earthling General Thor.
- Why, then, Earthlings in your time only at the intermediate level?
- Ney, as I said, civilizations are fighting among themselves. And it is not always possible for inquisitors to be in time in time and save civilization from destruction. Civilization can almost die. But after a while it is reborn, evolving, again goes into space. And everything repeats again. Our civilization was destroyed many times, and it as a phoenix is ​​reborn from the ashes and begins its new path of development.

- Alex, what is the title of this or the position of "elder"?
“Elder is the eldest over the inquisitors.” In this case, Drago is the elder of the inquisitors of higher civilizations.
“But you said that Earthlings belong to intermediate civilizations.”
- Yes, Earthlings are at the intermediate level. But thanks to the help of one of the highest civilizations, they can soon be credited to the highest. And why the elder inquisitors of higher civilizations was looking for me with Leah, I do not know, I can only guess.By and large, he does not care about Earthlings (after all, they are controlled by their group of inquisitors). And even then, because of two Earthlings, even our inquisitors will not arrange searches. Not the level of loss or danger.

But there is probably a chain involved through Leah. She is the head of the Alliance. The commander, finding the loss of his chief of staff, rushed to look for her. I found out that she flew away on the ship of a higher civilization. In this case, he will complain to the elder inquisitors of intermediate civilizations. In order not to escalate the situation, they will turn together to the elder inquisitors of higher civilizations. And then they will begin by diplomatic means to find out the circumstances of the disappearance. But why Drago personally took up the search, I do not understand. And it is not clear whether we can return in due time. Although it is not even my time, but Leah. And I got into the future after Leah.

- So much new and unusual, even fabulous information that my head is already spinning. But I really want your time.
The dragon began to rebound. Seeing over a protective dome, and not far from me, quietly talking with Virinea, he was very surprised.
- Earthlings, you left me alive?
“Drago, all thanks to Virine.” It was she with fists who threw herself on Leah, trying to protect you. Phaeton, you can remove the protective field.
“Alex, say that.” I could not strike Leah, but to kill you — she turned to the dragon — would not allow it.

“Ney, don't forget to add, even at the cost of your own life,” Virinea flushed.
“This is not so much my credit as Alex.” It was he who, with the help of Phaeton, set up a protective force dome.
- Earthlings, I thank you for everything. So it was not for nothing that I persistently tried to find the missing Phaeton.
- And I just can not understand why the elder of the inquisitors of higher civilizations personally began to search for the missing Earthlings.

- Yes, I myself can not even explain to myself why. Kirsir rushed to me with Mauren with the accusations that Invir killed his chief of staff. I tried to calm them down. We met with Invir. Then they started looking for you.
- Invir is not guilty. This is a fatal accident.
- Baby. Though you are a diplomat, - the dragon rumbled to the whole district, - but I will tell you: there are no coincidences. You are endowed with such abilities, and this girl too, ”he nodded in the direction of Virinea,“ that your associates can take you both for God and for the devil. And everything you do is such that they will not be able to explain, they will say - an accident. Here we have some kind of mind (and not one), whose actions we cannot understand and explain. That is your coincidence.

“Drago, is there really more reason above you than you?”
- Yes, Earthling, there is. You know and understand only organic matter (organic form of life). And in the universe a huge variety of life forms. In addition to organic, there is silicon-organic, silicon, cryogenic, energy, and many others. I now see you have steep stone rocks from the production of machines. Have you ever wondered where the water comes from, which constantly pours from the top?
- Precipitation. Groundwater.

- Don't make me laugh. From precipitation, even heavy, water would flow within a few hours, and it pours constantly for centuries, and this is considering that the rock is stone. And you do not need to explain that through the rocks, even under enormous pressure, it is impossible to lift as much water. So there is no question about groundwater either. This is one of the forms of life. In the same way as you cut a branch of a plant, and sap is extracted from the cut. Doesn't it remind you of damage, let's say a finger in the organic form of life, when blood is shed from it? And here the difference is not only in the form of life, but also in the rate of change. The duration of your life for this stone deposit is one instant. And the duration of your life is infinite compared with microorganisms that have a lifespan of less than a second. And during this time they manage to go through the full age cycle: to appear, grow, grow old and die. And for you it is only a moment.

- Drago, this is hard for me to comprehend, and even more so for this young girl.
- Young? Ambassador Alex (at last he called me at least once, otherwise it’s all a kid, yes a kid), this young lady, in spite of her age, could not only ride me. But she is the first who managed to slip out of my shackles. And the first who managed to throw a network on me. In my entire life, something like this was possible only in my youth to Earthling Thor. And then in the form of a game, and not in battle.

- Drago. And we saw you when you flew to Thor, - as a child decided to brag to the dragon.
- Have you seen? Why did they keep silent ?!
“We saw in the recording,” I launched a recording to him where he says goodbye to Thor, “People left tracking satellites for a very long time near the Earth, and Phaethon discovered them. Well, we hacked the codes and got all the info. That's just ... Read more →
