P{48}{208}To you, who live in the 20th century!
{210}{300}ANDROMEDA NEBULA|adapted from a novel by Ivan YEFREMOV
{670}{760}You, the elders,|accept my skill and desire!
{765}{870}Accept my labor, and teach me|through the day and the night!
{874}{955}Extend a hand of guidance,|since the way is difficult!
{958}{1018}And I will follow you!
{1442}{1515}You, the elders, accept my skill and desire!
{1517}{1562}Accept my labor ...
{1565}{1671}- Hello, Mven Mas!|- Ah, Junius! Hello!
{1674}{1766}- Do you take part in the celebration?|- I am sent by the Council of Astro Navigation.
{1770}{1860}We looked the entire day for you|throughout the whole planet, and here you are.
{1864}{1995}The is a time of Herculean effort.|This young man selected me to be his teacher.
{2015}{2110}Mven, I am not alone,|there are members of the Council.
{2113}{2227}They would like to talk with you.|They are there, on the helicopter pad.
{2230}{2320}I see. I will be right back.
{2650}{2880}The Council wants you, Mven, to accept the post|of manager of external outposts of the Great Ring.
{2943}{3012}- But what about Dar Veter? |- He is retiring.
{3095}{3149}Must I answer now?
{3150}{3310}Tomorrow is the next reception of the|Great Ring. It's an opportune time for the change.
{3346}{3460}I am going to the observatory today,|I only have to finish the ceremony here.
{3476}{3583}Well, yes, we know, mentor-teacher.
{3589}{3785}Yes, I will be busier now, but|we all have accepted greater responsibilities.
{3791}{3865}My teacher was Erg Noor.
{3903}{4017}By the way, is there news about "Tantra"?
{4021}{4102}The program of 37th Starry [?]|is completed.
{4112}{4212}"Al'Graab" and history flow towards "Tantra".
{4214}{4277}And if an encounter took place ...

{5900}{5974}The field stress is twice|as high as calculated.
{5976}{6095}- We must reduce our speed.|- You mean, decellerate?
{6120}{6220}But how can we then accelerate our flight?|We won't have a chance!
{6222}{6266}Make a decision, Pel !
{6268}{6332}The Commander will be awake|in only three hours!
{6342}{6395}Switch on planetary view!
{6509}{6545}Ingrid!
{6625}{6713}A sudden enormous surge in gravity!
{6755}{6920}What is there in front?|Just darkness! Only darkness!
{6956}{7109}But, here there's nothing,|here there can't be anything!
{7132}{7211}This region has has not been explored, Pel.
{7267}{7363}Switch front screens to infrared!
{7394}{7440}Stop engines!
{7563}{7609}What a fool I am!
{7638}{7762}I was convinced that|we are near the dark cloud! But this ...
{7797}{7905}Yes, this is an iron star!
{8002}{8048}Congratulations, Pel!
{8059}{8144}You discovered it in a place,|where no one suspected its existence!
{8170}{8246}If we had only caught it earlier!
{8290}{8353}Now we can't escape from its gravitational pull!
{8358}{8500}Awake! Wake up the entire crew immediately!
{9200}{9265}-Good morning!|- Good morning!
{9350}{9415}-Good morning!|- Good morning!
{9865}{9925}I still don't understand his decision.
{9939}{10007}Couldn't the Council really convince him?
{10023}{10135}Is there a way to persuade a man|to do what he does not want to do?
{10165}{10256}Yes, but Dar Veter has|for six years led the external outposts.
{10569}{10628}Safety and peace for the entire Earth!
{10662}{10897}Power plants, all factories,|net transport and radio stations!
{11248}{11292}Hello, Veter!
{11310}{11370}Well, is it all decided?
{11425}{11470}Yes, decided!
{11500}{11540}I am glad, Veter. You should rest.
{11644}{11710}It is probably hard to understand.
{11745}{11900}It is hard until you experience|something similar yourself.
{12037}{12165}The manner, the manner,|by which you lived ...
{12207}{12273}which is expected by society ...
{12302}{12471}this way suddenly becomes,|for you, not so important.
{12520}{12552}Not only ...
{12560}{12659}Veter, do you have time? Are you free now?
{12669}{12741}I will come to you! Wait!
{13032}{13140}- You are too unforgiving of yourself.|- Unforgiving?
{13174}{13310}But if you can object, ignore what others say,
{13318}{13394}then you begin to believe only in yourself ...
{13397}{13507}No, at whatever position you are|you will find this problem,
{13511}{13580}it is necessary to immediately|change one's path.
{13585}{13635}Doctors say that.
{13635}{13735}I say it myself, doctors only confirm it.
{13905}{13940}Veda!
{13978}{14095}Stop it, Veter! "Tantra" did not return yet.
{14517}{14556}But I love you!
{14626}{14750}You forgot, Veter! There is Erg Noor.
{14878}{14945}Do you still love him?
{14965}{15008}No, I do not love.
{15103}{15216}Then you are free.|What holds you back? What?
{15340}{15502}I am convinced, convinced that each of you ...
{15561}{15651}are worthy and will meet all tests,|that may befall our path.
{15689}{15808}As an astronaut. As a citizen of Earth.
{15901}{16030}I was able to deflect the spaceship.|We will not crash into the iron star.
{16095}{16230}But it will be impossible for us|to escape from its gravitational pull.
{16288}{16478}An encounter with "Al'Graab" did not take|place, but all antimatter fuel was spent braking.
{16506}{16626}We are now captive to this star.
{16694}{16810}I will not ask your for advice,|I already made a decision.
{16827}{16892}This star has two planets.
{16900}{17035}We will orbit one of them| and send a signal beacon,
{17038}{17145}send it to the Earth and await rescue.
{17171}{17238}And it will be a long wait.
{17255}{17342}Khiss! Please tell us about how long?
{17406}{17560}Twenty, twenty five years ...
{17687}{17807}Not too long!|When we return, I will only be 50 years old!
{17862}{17920}And I will only be 75!
{17957}{18050}Crew, take you places!|We start our orbital descent.
{18480}{18516}Niza!
{18569}{18621}You are in space for the first time.
{18655}{18781}- 20 years, is this terrible for you?|- But what about for You?
{18851}{19000}- I was born in space, on board a spaceship.|- I didn't know.
{19002}{19167}And my first impressions as a child|were of the blackness of space,
{19170}{19265}the myriads of stars and|the panels of a starship.
{19291}{19402}You changed the subject - you didn't answer me.
{19438}{19541}20 years, this is clearly terrible.
{19640}{19752}- But I am, in a way, glad.|- How so?
{19833}{20084}In any case, these 20 years|next to you will be me and not her.
{20129}{20211}Good day! Am I too late?
{20381}{20463}- Veda Kong.|- I have heard a lot about you!
{20469}{20496}And I about you.
{20515}{20588}After we receive information|from epsilon of Toucan
{20595}{20762}she will read a tale of our history|and the planet of star system Canopus.
{20765}{20824}It's time!
{21003}{21086}- System check ready!|- Confirmed.
{21097}{21154}- Countdown ready!|- Confirmed.
{21179}{21275}- Ignition engaged!|- Confirmed.
{21485}{21614}Satellite 57 greets you, earthlings!
{21622}{21679}The Earth greets you, satellite!
{21711}{21878}Kour Ghan, this is Mven Mas,|look to him with attention!
{21893}{22015}- From now you will work with him.|- Everything is ready, waiting for epsilon of Toucan.
{22027}{22126}They apparently are attempting|to make contact with any civilization.
{22131}{22210}Well, Kour Ghan, take command!
{22217}{22251}Attention!
{22306}{22437}It's time, Mven, to take the forces|of the planet into your hands!
{22560}{22611}Forward, to the challenge!
{22640}{22705}Forward, to the challenge!
{22950}{23055}Mountains! Just like the Pamir.|The height not more than 2000-3000 meters.
{23070}{23130}I can only imagine, what color is water!
{23144}{23193}- Outlines ...|- Then what is this?
{23195}{23237}A large meteorite.
{23240}{23300}-Or ...|- Ship!
{23305}{23409}- Spaceship! Rocket!|- Rocket?
{23420}{23614}That's crazy! Here, far off the standard routes,|at the edge of the galaxy?
{24410}{24572}I don't think they have planets there|with the higher forms of life.
{24585}{24663}They are lonely.
{24709}{24897}Yes, they are lonely,|as we were lonely, we earthlings.
{24916}{25059}Until we decoded the language of the|Great Ring and entered the brotherhood of reason.
{25063}{25163}Do they really know nothing|about the Great Ring?
{25437}{25523}Probably, by now, they already know.
{25544}{25630}What we see now, occurred 300 years ago.
{25650}{25700}300 years!
{25737}{25798}88 parsecs from here!
{25838}{25929}All, who we see now,|are already dead long ago.
{26572}{26757}88 parsecs! over 280 light years distance.
{26769}{26886}That's all. His position is unstable,
{26890}{26966}but it is fixed and now it is stable.
{26975}{27057}Make sure that today|the entire planet knows about this.
{27073}{27150}And prepare information|for members of the Ring!
{27226}{27360}- I am disconnecting, Veter!|- Ask "him", he is the chief now.
{27680}{27782}How long will the voyage take|to go to Canopus?
{27824}{27899}100 - 120 years.
{27923}{27995}And they will see me living!
{28060}{28240}What a monstrous contradiction|between the might of man, his reason,
{28252}{28343}and his unimportance in time and space.
{28374}{28587}And mankind is so far unable|to overcome or to compress time.
{28601}{28721}You have 10 minutes more.|Will you remain here or you come with me?
{28739}{28792}I'll stay here.
{28845}{29035}She is excellent.|And amazingly human-like [terrestrial ?]
{29100}{29220}Yes. She is amazing.
{29245}{29362}For the first time in 800 years|of existence of the Great Ring
{29368}{29547}we not only saw a planet with intelligent life,|but also with human-like appearance.
{29568}{29695}So, I have reasons, why I do not love space|with its emptiness and monstrous distances.
{29716}{29816}They are now there,|and if something happens,
{29822}{29931}neither I nor all of humanity|have any powers to help.
{30063}{30157}- Excuse me, Commander.|- Something happened?
{30167}{30211}The second orbit begins.
{30279}{30316}Yes, I know.
{30453}{30519}She is beautiful.
{30704}{30750}Beautiful.
{30765}{30827}But she does not love you.
{30834}{30930}I saw, how she accompanied you.
{30951}{31060}As a friend, as a person,|one who risks all,
{31082}{31142}but not as a loved one.
{31260}{31371}This portrait, it comforts you|in hard times,
{31384}{31490}it strengthens faith and gives you power,
{31493}{31582}but it does not call back to the Earth. Right?
{31638}{31701}Central station speaking.
{31707}{31830}Commander, this is the spaceship!|We had time to take a picture.
{31839}{31934}Attention Alien! You do understand?|Alien!
{31978}{32064}What happened, Mven? Why this urgency?
{32135}{32194}Did you hear about my new work?
{32200}{32313}Not only heard, but also saw it on the news|- the formal announcement.
{32318}{32412}Ren, here is why I called you here.
{32480}{32520}See!
{32580}{32620}See!
{32630}{32770}There is the star epsilon of Toucan,|and there the star 61 Cygnus,
{32773}{32867}and further is Albireo. Three stars!
{32871}{32944}And there, and there, and there is life!
{32947}{32998}I know, Ren, I saw!
{33001}{33105}There pulses thought,|intelligent life lives there.
{33127}{33262}But they are monstrously far apart.
{33326}{33455}Ren, I know, in your academy|you deal with space.
{33458}{33546}Yes, with space as a function of time.
{33630}{33700}Let's join our projects together, Ren.
{33735}{33860}I want to compress time.
{33885}{34017}And then to see living beings|and to speak with living beings.
{34068}{34181}You are a theorist, Ren,| tell me, is this possible?
{34224}{34325}It seems, that I am close to the solution.
{34333}{34448}But my conclusions need verification.|And verification needs to be experimental.
{34473}{34529}I am glad that you understood me.
{34563}{34673}You and I are just grit|in this boundless universe of space.
{34679}{34785}But today, right now, we create a challenge!
{34912}{34973}The spaceship does not respond to our signals.
{35003}{35046}Sixteenth orbit.
{35065}{35128}The noise of planetary engines|one cannot fail to hear!
{35134}{35222}Disc spaceships are unknown in nearby regions!
{35229}{35308}I am convinced - this is an alien in trouble!
{35310}{35369}What does the crew recommend?
{35386}{35428}We are in trouble too!
{35460}{35521}But they clearly need our help!
{35524}{35588}As if we do not need help!
{35678}{35752}Eighteenth orbit. They do not hear us!
{35756}{35806}Or do not undersand.
{35839}{35883}We have to land, commander!
{35891}{36030}- That's the last of our fuel!|- Yes, the last!
{36055}{36122}We will no longer be able to take off.
{36127}{36223}And we will not be able to send a rescue beacon?
{36351}{36466}Yes, and we will not be able|to send a rocket!
{36679}{36758}We are just considering! We are uncertain!
{36766}{36870}There, below, are the messengers|from another world!
{36936}{36975}Crew, remain at your places!
{36993}{37061}We go to the lower layers|of the atmosphere for landing!
{37069}{37119}Switch on the warning signals!
{37219}{37294}Crew Personnel Station: Good morning!
{37302}{37329}Good morning!
{37342}{37463}The place in the underwater titanium mines|on the coast of South America is free.
{37472}{37520}But it is necessary to go quickly!
{37535}{37640}Excuse me, I forgot to inform you,|I already selected a place.
{37674}{37715}I am just gathering more information.
{37832}{37895}I am going to the archaelogical expedition.
{37900}{37996}No problem! I just wanted to carry out|your request more precisely.
{38000}{38077}We will find enough people in this place.
{38195}{38272}Living Quarters Assignment Station: |good morning! - Good morning!
{38278}{38429}I am leaving. Sector 6, 385 691.
{38432}{38468}Accepted.
{38936}{39062}Finally! I started thinking that I arrived too early.
{39245}{39312}Well, Veter, everything is already done.
{39382}{39515}- Now you are "my" subordinate.|- I obey, my chief!
{40483}{40564}They are dead. And long ago.
{40686}{40760}Another victim of space.
{40773}{40948}I understand, catastrophes are inevitable,|but to see it ...
{40966}{41049}Eon, the surface vehicle is ready.|Planet rover is ready.
{41061}{41120}Excellent, Kay, let's go.
{41124}{41257}Emergency group to the vehicle!|Ranking officer aboard ship is Kay Bear.
{41361}{41454}- Pel! What about your planet?|- Why is it "my" planet?
{41460}{41558}But whose is it? Who discovered the iron star?
{41562}{41675}A Planet is like a planet. It is possible to live!
{41758}{41817}They could also not take off!
{41828}{41939}Just like us! They broke free from the grips|of the iron star's gravity.
{41949}{42129}It's a trap-planet. They warn on the Great Ring| about them. Legends are based on them.
{42141}{42207}How many millenia did they travel?
{42234}{42380}Why? What is missing there, in its home?
{42387}{42528}The same as us, Kim, knowledge, brotherhood.
{42538}{42647}- Commander, I will go around it to the left.|- And I to the right.
{42879}{43020}Maybe we are too careless, Erg?|Strange planet, strange life.
{43023}{43058}A-a-a-augh ...
{43185}{43308}Eon, Niza, stop! Stop!
{43315}{43369}Back! Pel, here!
{43392}{43455}Back! Hold them in light!
{43456}{43492}Back!
{43504}{43593}Eon, Niza! Do not stray from the light!
{43598}{43683}All move away behind the vehicle!|Hold the light!
{44112}{44200}- What happened to Kim?|- Why are you silent? What about Kim?
{44212}{44270}Erg, answer!
{44377}{44482}I have heard of these markings on many planets.
{44500}{44704}The best children of Earth remained|here to warn those who follow.
{44728}{44800}Our boy! Erg, you did not know.
{44817}{44943}He emulated you in everything,|he trained his will excessively.
{44954}{45021}Only I answer for all that happened!
{45014}{45105}But there is no sense to speak of it,|only on the Earth.
{45112}{45200}On the Earth? The commander still|believes in this possibility?
{45224}{45331}I believe thus far I live.|We will send a signal beacon.
{45333}{45370}But our fuel?
{45380}{45437}Let's attempt to explore this strange spaceship.
{45442}{45514}It is possible that there is some form of energy.
{45519}{45676}You forget, Commander, out of the ship|we are powerless and unarmed.
{45681}{45784}Light! The Commander was the first to notice it!
{45788}{45917}The killer is the creature of gloom,|and he must fear light!
{46706}{46738}Back!
{46879}{46939}All move away behind vehicle!
{47176}{47232}Lower your helmet visors!
{47304}{47342}Be careful!
{47463}{47511}Shield your eyes!
{47608}{47659}Shield your eyes! 
{47808}{47840}What's there?
{47848}{47932}- A metallic object.|- 20 degrees to the left.
{47940}{47978}Kay, we go forward.
{47984}{48072}- But you will leave the light of "Tantra"!|We will go!
{48517}{48644}- Surface vehicle from the terrestrial spaceship!|- What vehicle? What spaceship?
{48652}{48780}I cannot follow you by light!|Erg, where are you?
{48830}{48877}We'll go ahead!
{49232}{49360}"Tantra"! We found a surface vehicle.|There are no people.
{49365}{49502}Kay, we go forward. Turn on the searchlights.|Try to accompany us.
{49746}{49866}In the last ten years not a single|first class spaceship has left the Earth.
{49870}{50048}Yes, but 15 years ago was the 36th Starry [?].
{50051}{50144}- And one ship did not return.|- Do you think, this is the "Sail"?
{50651}{50863}It is the "Sail"! Earth spaceship|first class. The twin of our "Tantra".
{51597}{51650}You no longer like our work?
{51675}{51799}I am complacent, I am calm,|as if they treat me with blue sky dreams.
{51804}{51927}Yes, of course. After so many years|of life in space ...
{51953}{52053}our work seems small and dull.
{52061}{52237}In my opinion, in the past centuries they|already explored everywhere, the entire planet.
{52241}{52393}It was always so. Some look to the future,|others investigate in the past.
{52422}{52495}The same will be after we are gone, Veter.
{52627}{52689}I just talked with Mven Mas.
{52715}{52827}The set time passed but "Tantra" is still silent.
{52866}{52928}Something happened, Veter!
{53083}{53150}We know so little about space.
{53169}{53265}Actually, we are trampling down|on our small scrap of space.
{53507}{53665}Kay, Lin! Pay close attention!|Always keep us in the light!
{53955}{54030}Somewhere there must be|an emergency light terminal.
{54037}{54087}That would be nice.
{54308}{54419}Great! It works!
{54480}{54520}Enter!
{55014}{55060}The fourth.
{55623}{55735}- Ingrid, Kay, do you copy us?|- Yes, we do, Commander.
{55739}{55810}- All is OK, Erg!|- We're going inside!
{55821}{55953}Eon will inspect the forward holds,|Niza and I the central station.
{55980}{56069}Pel and Lin, inspect the rear decks.
{56123}{56260}Pel, antimatter fuel is most critical!
{57855}{57942}Niza, look for the flight logs first!
{58210}{58297}Commander! Erg! Do you copy me?
{58320}{58361}Yes, very well, Eon!
{58362}{58441}That means, that the onboard|radio equipment is working!
{58515}{58593}Attention! Central station speaking!
{58609}{58681}- Pel, do you copy?|- I do, Commander.
{58998}{59073}Dust. Soot.
{59137}{59244}Nothing suspicious. Nothing supernatural.
{59255}{59394}Only two marks of unknown origin,|on the floor and on the wall.
{59400}{59508}Here the same. In the corridor there is|a strange spot near the chamber 16.
{59512}{59573}Just on the door, the size of a human torso.
{59601}{59702}- Did you enter the chamber?|- Yes, I did.
{59780}{59835}Why do you keep silent?
{59845}{59952}Perhaps I did not tell you?|We found antimatter!!! Four containers.
{59974}{60021}Four!
{60048}{60169}"Tantra"! Friends! Did you hear?
{60197}{60295}My dears, we are saved!
{60302}{60386}Maybe someone will finally|turn off this damned noise?
{60556}{60650}Commander! The flight logs!
{60922}{61045}Today, 12th of 7th month of 323th year of Ring,
{61054}{61174}we all, who survived, finished|preparation of a rocket-transmitter.
{61181}{61251}Tomorrow we will send our calculated ...
{61341}{61382}... I switch on more ... [?]
{61417}{61498}... more ... [? more what ?]
{61533}{61582}Something happened!
{61588}{61658}What happened?|That, after they collected ... [?]
{61726}{61812}Two were rescued.|Blanca did not jump - so far ... elevator ...
{61816}{61870}We could not close the doors,|only the second one.
{61873}{61964}Mechanics reached the engines.|They were struck by planetary debris.
{61967}{62080}But then, besides fury and horror,|nothing. Yes, nothing ...
{62110}{62196}Seems that Kton also did not make it.|I am alone.
{62200}{62288}I am alone. But I managed to survive!
{62293}{62437}Before I begin ... Comrades, if you find "Sail",
{62443}{62543}I warn you, never leave your ship.
{62561}{62656}I have to investigate Kton.|I will explain in detail when I return.
{62658}{62730}Where is the music? Where is the song?
{63445}{63628}According to the tradition of our|astronauts, let's honor our dead comrades.
{63880}{63983}Dear friends! Thanks to you!
{64010}{64170}We promise to return,|and report your discovery to humanity,
{64179}{64275}convey your love to the Earth.
{65007}{65109}I don't understand your indecision, Erg.|It's like you are waiting for something.
{65131}{65256}We finish loading antimatter in 12 hours,|and then we will be able to take off.
{65281}{65409}Yes, Kay, as a commander, I am ready|to give the command. But as a scientist ...
{65428}{65582}We met here something unknown,|and this unknown kills.
{65607}{65778}We are scouts, Kay. After us others will arrive.|The tragedy of the "Sail" cannot be repeated.
{65818}{65870}Does it mean, that the launch is postponed?
{65909}{66040}Yes. We must meet this unknown|face to face.
{66057}{66229}Eon is preparing an experiment.|I have to feel and to see this myself.
{66312}{66445}"Tantra", kill the searchlight! Eon, lights off!
{66517}{66607}Well, well, now we need patience.
{67056}{67194}Niza, this time you were able to convince Eon,
{67202}{67321}but from tomorrow I forbid you|participation in all actions outside the ship.
{67340}{67460}But Commander, according to the|duty roster, I am in the emergency group.
{67465}{67515}I am not joking!
{67708}{67760}Are you afraid, that I am too close to you?
{67874}{67920}But nonetheless, I will be close.
{67955}{68131}Next to you - here, now, then ...
{68145}{68336}on this planet, on the Earth ... my entire life.
{68417}{68596}I love you, Commander.|And I can't go anywhere from this love.
{68709}{68748}Niza!
{68752}{68900}Okay, okay. I will be silent.
{68932}{69103}Just accept it. These are the verses|of a very ancient poet.
{69153}{69198}Accept it for the memory!
{69206}{69319}A printed book? What an ancient object!
{69337}{69506}Just now! Do you sense it?|A shiver in your spine?
{69508}{69543}I sense it too.
{69767}{69910}Attention! "Tantra"! Kay, are you ready?
{69955}{70043}Attention! Light!
{70091}{70148}Well, what was that?
{70162}{70216}- I didn't have time to observe.|- Me either.
{70220}{70258}I feel something.
{70260}{70359}Maybe these are shadows, clusters of|darkness around energy discharges?
{70360}{70456}No, no, it is clearly a living creature.|And it tried to devour us.
{70457}{70565}The monster has striking action. No wonder|those who were killed had no time to report.
{70567}{70665}Recreating this event may be unpleasant,|but we need to repeat our experiment.
{70670}{70723}Kay, turn the light off!
{70835}{70882}The creature is not alone!
{70925}{71002}I think, we should not let it touch the top. [?]
{71016}{71050}You are right.
{71082}{71147}"Tantra", get ready!
{71180}{71239}Everyone should only look to the side!
{71307}{71330}Kay!
{71500}{71588}I have never seen anything like this!|I'll never forget it until the day I die!
{71606}{71714}Erg! We have to seriously study these jellyfish!
{71867}{72013}Jellyfish and spiral-discs!|Are we scientists or not?
{72035}{72158}We can't miss this opportunity to learn,|from where it is,
{72168}{72303}who constructed them,|what they carried to other places?
{72372}{72429}That's why I propose planetary scan. [?]
{72434}{72533}Use of a planetary engine, is,|of course, a good idea.
{72535}{72573}But how ...
{72833}{72915}It is decided. Only men will go.
{72958}{73012}As in the good old days.
{73071}{73130}- But Louma?|- Louma is a doctor.
{73148}{73192}I am a doctor too!
{73216}{73325}You are, first of all, an astro-navigator,|Niza, and you must be at your place.
{73347}{73490}Okay, okay, I will be at my place.
{73718}{73747}Louma!
{73825}{73914}I must be with him tomorrow and the next.
{73971}{74047}Nonsense! We will all be next to him there.
{74141}{74269}Is it really so hard to understand?
{74292}{74416}But it must be, first of all, me! Yes, me!
{74550}{74618}No one can be too close, no one!
{74639}{74678}Niza?
{74714}{74804}Louma does not feel well,|she requested replacement.
{74843}{74908}When they request, it cannot be refused.
{74920}{74975}We will clear it up aboard the ship.
{75040}{75090}By the way, Kay ...
{75490}{75537}Commander, where are you going?
{75812}{75847}Erg!
{76041}{76151}Erg! Erg! Erg!
{77340}{77460}Retreat! Everyone! Everyone stay back!
{77510}{77578}"Tanta", hold the light!
{77858}{77946}Retreat! There are enough victims!
{77950}{78050}We are not ready for this fight. Retreat!
{78527}{78608}- She is alive, but...|- Is she dying?
{78614}{78727}Not yet. Her heart works,|one beat in one hundred seconds.
{78750}{78852}This is not death,|but still a complete collapse.
{78912}{78965}Consciousness, pain?
{78996}{79027}No.
{79031}{79163}Absolutely. In a coma, it's all the same.
{79171}{79225}Then she will sleep with the Earth.
{79243}{79375}I fear however, that her heart will|overload on takeoff.
{79380}{79415}What do you propose?
{79440}{79629}We'll prepare a special chamber|and insert her in a floating stasis box.
{79635}{79736}Agreed. As soon as you're done,|report back to your post.
{79756}{79846}We will not stay here|any longer than necessary.
{79900}{80020}That is enough of the darkness|and gravity of this black world.
{80491}{80741}"For thy sweet love remember'd such wealth brings|That then I scorn to change my state with kings'."
{80850}{80978}Everything is ready, Commander. We can launch.
{81252}{81321}Just a moment, Kay.
{81334}{81576}There are Louma and Eon ...|They must do something.
{81714}{81779}What an ancient melody!
{81800}{81871}The melody of my distant ancestors.
{81876}{81931}They lived here.
{81952}{82134}They lived, they grazed cattle,|they ploughed, loved ...
{82210}{82395}Veter, I do not ask, I am somehow sure.
{82431}{82658}You will not leave this place,|you will not leave me.
{82676}{82890}We will move to the sea soon, and you are|certainly free to select any work, but ...
{82905}{82993}my friends like you.
{83107}{83140}Veda!
{83180}{83304}We are not children.|When can we speak seriously?
{83340}{83452}Only when "Tantra" comes back.
{84184}{84254}So I did not answer you.
{84277}{84397}I thought we will have time there on Earth.
{84446}{84508}Do you see ...
{84570}{84661}do you hear anything in your sleep?
{84689}{84742}Do you remember me?
{84756}{84834}Erg! She does not hear!
{84849}{84907}She cannot hear anything!
{84913}{85026}You told me, I am afraid to be close.
{85037}{85139}Now I am next to you, and I do not fear.
{85147}{85280}You have to rest.|Pull yourself together, Commander!
{85416}{85537}Erg! How long are we been with you|already in space?
{85547}{85650}We saw much, even death,|severe and absurd.
{85656}{85828}You can't, you do not have a right|to weaken yourself!
{86066}{86156}- Erg!|- What now?
{86178}{86369}I must tell you that modern neurology|has mapped the emergence of emotions.
{86382}{86503}Medicine can manage their existence
{86509}{86627}to act on the cerebral core,|to suppress distressful experiences.
{86639}{86699}And I could ...
{86778}{86871}Do you propose ...
{86910}{87125}to suppress my love in order to|free me from my suffering?
{87130}{87186}Man must not suffer, Erg!
{87188}{87299}Suffering deprives you of reason!|But the crew needs your reason!
{87302}{87348}She is right, Erg!
{87860}{87970}She is right, Erg, right!
{88130}{88190}Yes, I agree.
{88530}{88584}Am I late?
{88588}{88656}No, no. Please.
{90139}{90229}What's wrong, Erg? Be careful!
{90395}{90472}Commander! Erg!
{90587}{90679}Erg, what's wrong?
{90939}{90999}Erg, do you feel okay?
{91320}{91362}Here!
{91388}{91429}Here!
{91458}{91560}"That then I scorn to change my state with kings'."
{91564}{91595}Erg!
{91645}{91721}You did not understand at all!
{91803}{91905}No, Louma, no!
{91958}{92111}I will not give up my feelings,|even if they force me to suffer.
{92225}{92479}Suffering, if it is not too intense,|contributes to understanding, understanding of love.
{92487}{92561}So it is a locked circle.
{92578}{92673}You were good to me, thanks.
{92685}{92782}But there will be no second session, Louma!
{93112}{93213}You, the elders, who call me to the way of labor!
{93216}{93328}Accept my skill and desire, accept my labor,
{93332}{93410}and teach me in daylight and at night!
{93414}{93500}Lend me a guiding hand,|since the way is difficult!
{93503}{93544}And I will follow you!
{93548}{93609}You are changed, Veter!
{93612}{93770}Earlier, when you commanded the entire forces|of Earth, you spoke with the distant worlds ...
{93778}{93822}Was I so different?
{93829}{93929}You started to smile more, to be glad|about the simplest, the most usual things.
{93937}{93996}You are greatly changed, Veter!
{94017}{94056}Mven Mas?
{94094}{94134}Do you know him?
{94138}{94247}Yes, we arranged a meeting here.|He flew in from Tibet.
{94251}{94333}With Ren Boze they are preparing|an immense experiment.
{94336}{94416}Ah, this is surely connected with|his dream about compressing time?
{94419}{94528}Obviously. And he needs me|right here, at the ceremony.
{94532}{94581}That's Mven Mas.
{94583}{94639}- Excuse me.|- Of course.
{94909}{94968}Everything has been provided by you.
{95073}{95222}Now the most serious matter remains,|the dangers of our work.
{95303}{95393}What scientist is afraid of risk?
{95433}{95503}I did not talk about the personal, Mven.
{95559}{95672}But experiments will include|the external outposts of the Great Ring.
{95728}{95903}Do we have the right to risk the greatest|achievement of humanity, a window to the cosmos?
{95924}{96054}I see billions of past human lives!
{96074}{96289}Instantly, as sand between our fingers, strips|away their youth, beauty and happiness of life.
{96358}{96493}They are asking to answer the great riddle|of time and entering into battle with it!
{96505}{96652}If you are so convinced, you should|address the Council of Astro Navigation!
{96753}{96825}I am speaking to its chairman!
{96875}{96945}But I did not give consent yet, Mven!
{97153}{97241}It is time for you to return to big matters,|Dar Veter!
{97251}{97326}The Council does not consider another candidate.
{97331}{97385}You will give my agreement, Veter!
{97490}{97691}Attention - a report of the Council|of Astro Navigation! They return!
{97750}{97885}They return! Veter, did you hear?
{97895}{97950}Did you already hear? They return!
{97958}{98105}I am happy for you! Very happy.
{98144}{98260}The ship is 3 light years|from the orbit of Neptune.
{98266}{98370}In a week "Tantra" will be welcomed|home on Neptune's hospitable moon, Triton
{98376}{98530}and after a five-week quarantine,|the Earth will joyfully greet "Tantra"!
{98555}{98740}THE END|??? "Al Graab", "Starry", "Anameson" ???
