it is not clear why the Humans flew only once. True, they, having arrived, suffered a crushing defeat from this civilization and no longer appeared.

“Velzel,” the dragon whispered with anger.

- After they defeated the fleet of Men, a month later they appeared again and destroyed almost all life on Earth.
“During this month,” the dragon said sadly, “they destroyed about ten civilizations and their colonies, including my civilization and the civilization of humans.”
- And how did you survive? - with interest and with sympathy asked Virinea.

- Only those few who were out of the star system survived. I still have an empty spot in my eyes and a huge amount of asteroids in the place where my planet was. You cannot even imagine that despair when you begin to understand that you have no one and nothing left: no family and friends, no home, not even a place where you can build a house. The entire civilization has disappeared, and the planet is fragmented into small pieces, which fly with great speeds in different directions. In this respect, people are more fortunate, their planet has remained intact. And that is only because the inquisitors came to the rescue and destroyed the fleet of Belzels.
- By the way, these devils flew again, already when Leah and I were here. About one hundred and twenty terrestrial years ago.
- Have you ever betrayed yourself? The dragon inquired anxiously.

- Not given? Look, I quickly launched a hologram of the appearance of devils, their landing on the ground and the assembly of mining equipment. Our covert penetration of their ships. Subordination of the on-board computers of the ships to Phaeton. Mining ships. A jump of all enemy ships into null space, returning home. The explosion of all ships. And more devils (or as Drago says, Velzelas) did not appear. And we still still use some of their equipment for mining, albeit redone beyond recognition at our discretion. I looked at Drago. All three heads were pretty smiling.

- Well, General Leah, well done! So just deceive Welzel. I do not cease to be surprised resourcefulness Earthlings. By the way, young lady, are you really offended at me?
- Yes, that you, dear elder. No offense.
- But I killed you.
- Even if it was, it was in a fair fight. I was weaker than you. I will remember this fight for the rest of my life, but without malice, but as a hard lesson.
- Now would you not rushed so on me?
“Now I know that you are not an enemy to Alex.” But if she didn’t know this, she would have rushed to the defense without hesitation.

- Noble heart and sincere response. Worthy inquisitor. But does it make sense to underestimate the enemy, simply and stupidly die?
- Yes, I rashly rushed into battle. But in any case, it would have allowed Alex to escape. He would have escaped from a stronger opponent - the dragon's laughter was like thunder peals. And only after some time, he was able to talk again.
- Alex? Run away? Yes, he is more crazy than you. But only he already has combat experience in survival. And how to escape with honor, and then fully settle with the enemy. Baby, isn't it you famously settled with Admiral Bul?

“Yes, it was,” reluctantly replied to the dragon. And in the very moment it came to mind, as with Leah they escaped from the squadron of Admiral Bul's ships.
- So, that young lady, the trick is not to fearlessly rush to the enemy, and die, but to survive and still destroy a stronger enemy. How would you react to my proposal? Would you like to be with me on the same team?
- Drago, do not drive her crazy. She is still very young.
- Why not? What you need to know and be able to? - with a call objected Ney.
- Baby, you do not want myself to me, so do not dissuade others. Virinha, for this you need to have a noble heart (and you really have a noble heart), pure thoughts, and in your heart love and compassion for others. That, too, is all you have. I see that Alex and General Lia shared knowledge and skills with you. This is quite enough to join our friendly team of inquisitors. Approval of all inquisitors you can get when they see you in a training battle. Everything else is completely profitable. Learn.

- I agree! - childishly, exclaimed Ney with excitement.
- Not me. This is your decision, I can not forbid you, because you are already an adult. But think, the life of the inquisitor is full of dangers and very often hidden dangers. The inquisitor often risks his life, saving other lives. And here the main thing is not to be mistaken. Save those who need it. Unfortunately, it is not always the one who screams to be rescued. It may happen that you have to look through the scope at your own comrades, at your civilization. Can you shoot? Shoot - kill a tribesman, exactly the same person as you. If you don’t shoot, you can kill a whole civilization, but someone else’s - Ney stood thoughtful and painfully digested this difficult information.

“As Leah said about Alex and me, we are lovers of justice.” I will do justice.
- Right, girl, right. Although justice interprets each in its own way. And now, Earthlings, I want to give you both my knowledge and skills. This is not in gratitude (gratitude should not become a duty, a necessity). I had a desire to tell Alex even during our first meeting, but then I decided that it was too early. And now I think just right.
“There will be this hellish pain again,” Ney muttered discontentedly.
- Such a pain? - surprised the dragon.
- This is she confused with the changing capabilities of the brain.
- It is clear, but I'm curious, from what level did Alex raise your level to 98%? - the dragon, like a computer, could determine the possibilities without any devices.
- From you can not hide anything. With 23%, - I felt the surprise of Drago.
- But where did 23% come from? The dragon asked in surprise.

- This is a hard story. We tried once again not to remember, so as not to injure the psyche of the child. But now she is an adult girl, and the psyche is stable. And the essence is as follows. Pregnant women, teenagers and old people were on the collection of berries. Frightened teenager provoked the attack of female bears on people, who considered them a threat to their babies. The beast injured a teenager, an old man rushed to help the youngster. Bear and it hurt a lot. But, when a pregnant woman came to the aid of her great-grandfather, the bear went away.

She tore a woman's head off, clawed her back. But instinctively the woman managed to close her belly and thereby saved the unborn child. I, teleporting to the scene of the tragedy, sent the beast with her babies into the thicket. Leah took up the wounded, and I quickly shuttle on the Phaeton, to save the child. I was unable to revive a woman herself. Medrobot proved insolvent in the matter of childbirth. I had to save myself. And all one to one. The blood bank on the ship has not been updated since arriving here, and in more than two hundred years, the blood has become unusable. Became a donor. But there was still a huge problem. Virinea had brain damage. Phaeton proposed to activate the damaged part.I almost went crazy, hearing the torment of the baby during activation. Everything ended well.

But soon we began to notice that it was developing differently than its peers. Conducted a test and found that her brain capacity equal to 23%, while her colleagues about 5%. Well, not so long ago, she agreed to suffer in order to reach the maximum.
- All clear. The girl, do not worry, the transfer of skills and knowledge is painless.
- Then I agree.
- It is interesting, but is it not worth it for some to think about transferring knowledge and experience to their subordinate? I do not care then - I'm a loner. And Ney will be under your command. Suddenly she wants to dismiss the respected Drago from this important post?
- Eh, baby, baby. With great pleasure, I would give the post of elder into good hands. But I think Ney would be happy to help me. And then we'll see, - the dragon squinted slyly.
For several hours the dragon conjured above us.
“Why I don’t feel anything,” at the end of this action, Ney asked with surprise.
“Young lady, what did you feel when Alex shared his skills with you?” - Ney confusedly lowered the eyes.

- I do not remember.
- All skills at the subconscious level.
“Ney, you and I have never practiced the Varkanov technique with a spider net, but you used it in a fight with Drago.”
“Is that weapon called the Varkanov network?”
“Well, you see,” the dragon intervened, “without hesitation he applied and, moreover, very effectively. Until now, with a shudder, I remember this network. I have never met such an application of the Varkanov network. Even Varkana themselves apply magically and real separately. And here both types were applied simultaneously.
- I did not even know that they should be applied separately. Applied the first thing that came to mind.
- With fear?
- There was no time to be afraid.
