I together with Arthur gave a small, but very cozy cabin, furnished with soft comfortable bed, small nightstand and computer Desk, which was adorned with a device of unknown design.

Above the table was a round porthole where I could see the stars.

The whole situation was sustained in postmodern style: clear, smooth lines, nothing superfluous, everything only the most necessary.

Encouraged by the fact that the cabin was the bathroom. You can't even imagine the bliss I experienced when I got under the elastic jets of warm water pouring out of my soul... I've been dreaming about this for a long time...

Not less the bliss came over me feeling fresh, clean moving under a naked body with a sheet, like a pleasant aroma.

Imperceptibly I fell asleep and didn't even hear the moment when Arthur got out of the shower and lay down next to me.

We slept no more than two hours, but felt great. We didn't manage to get myself in order as above the door of the cabin was illuminated by the monitor, and the girl that appeared in it, a pleasant voice invited us into the dining room.

It gathered only members of our crew and red, the captain, sheltering us. He once again greeted us on Board his ship and said that our journey to the planet where the spaceship was going would take about 2-3 days.

So far, he has offered us to eat dishes prepared by a skilled chef, and relax, gain strength before landing on the planet, where he promised to organize for us a great tour of all known to many travelers, interesting and beautiful places. At the same time, we can learn more from the history of the world in which we will soon find ourselves. In the meantime, we'll be introduced to the ship itself. The captain will personally give us a tour in the near future.

In conclusion, the captain of the ship said that he would like to meet personally with each of us to learn about what we have been abandoned on the planet surface where he took us.

• I will invite you to his cabin on the line, he said. Don't worry, I'm not going to find out from you no secrets, I just like to learn something new, unknown to me previously. In addition, our meeting took place in an unusual situation.
• Well, until then - Bon appétit!

With these words the commander bowed and left the room.

Only now I felt, as'm hungry Yes and missed you on normal human food. When you look at the dishes in front of us, exuding a delicate, captivating aroma, my stomach suddenly shrank with anticipation of the long-awaited food and growled with impatience.

I moved a plate closer to me with the first one. In appearance it resembled our earthly soup. The taste, however, is not too much different, but felt it a kind of "highlight", apparently it gave some local spices.

Slightly sated, I threw a cursory glance at his comrades. They, like me, had all the attention to food. Ate silently, intently, not taking his eyes from his plate. It was immediately clear that they were all starving during our involuntary seclusion on the planet.

By taking over plate with the second dish, I sought in vain attempted to deal in is, from what it was cooked. The taste test also did not give me information about which plants and animal meat it was made from. My experience of cosmobiology is clearly not enough.

Leaving aside my attempts of the researcher, I began to enjoy the taste of this dish, which I thought was just divine.

After Arthur returned to his cabin. Surprisingly, he was silent and brooding, as never.

• Arthur, what's wrong with you? Are you worried about something? Or do you just not like was the lunch that we were fed? with a smile, I asked him.

• No, Zaya, it's not about lunch. It was very tasty and hearty. I'm worried about what's waiting for us on the planet where we're going. What kind of creatures inhabit it... Judging by the appearance of the crew members of this ship, they are not much different from us.
  • They are not so strong muscles, somewhat elongated skeleton, which suggests that their civilization is more technologically advanced even in comparison with our earth, as well as the structure of their bodies may be due to conditions on their home planet, such as gravity and atmospheric pressure. I think it cost me more to study the matter.
  • On the one hand, I am glad that we will not finally get to the backward planet, which we met earlier, but to where we will be able to find out what part of the Universe we are in, and how we will be able to return home.
  •On the other..."he paused a few minutes thoughtfully and then said," we don't know what they really are, how peaceful they are or, conversely, how belligerent they are." And will we not bring to the Land uninvited guests in their face...
  • Let's not pre-filling your head with assumptions about what you do not know. - I said.
• I think much will be explained during the conversation with the commander of the ship. It's just that we come together as one separate team, as representatives of the Earth.

Then we began to admire the stars floating past the ship in the window, the picture of which was also unknown to us.

To be continued...

Thank you for your attention, until new meetings!
