Before us stood... Bill stone is the commander of the ship where we started off the earth.

Can you imagine our joy at this meeting!

Another native for us man, a member of our team, was found in the vast expanses of the universe among the myriad stars - is not it a miracle!

We so wanted to retire quickly with him and ask about where his fate brought after the death of our ship, where he visited and what he saw. Does he know the fate of any of our crew?..

But our conversation had to be postponed for later because at this moment the official part of evening began.

Before the guests with a fiery welcome speech by the representative of the government of the planet, which many pompous and florid talked about the importance of interplanetary contacts, space exploration and flights to other galaxies.

Few people listened, but at the end of the speech sounded thunderous applause, and then the floor was taken by the owner of the house, captain red, who we had for their salvation.

The captain was brief. He thanked the members of his government for their assistance in organizing the search and rescue of our crew and expressed confidence that our friendship will grow day by day.

Then he invited everyone to a Banquet table with delicious dishes.

Gradually, the atmosphere in the hall became more relaxed and friendly, which contributed to the alcohol and delicious food.

In the hall quietly and the music was pleasant, and after some time, spontaneously started to dance. Arthur and I also danced a little. At first tried to dance in the manner of locals, then, having completely given to music and the mood, danced as loved to do it At home.

Our dance was liked by all who attended the reception, guests. They even applauded us.

Then we talked to Vick, the head of the Observatory, Neil the librarian and Edgard, the head of the intergalactic spaceport, and we agreed with them on the date and time of the meeting.

Red introduced us and members of their families: fragile and delicate in appearance wife Lillian and their two charming children, a son Robbie's twelve years old and little Rosie is three years old.

In all that time we were not able to speak with bill a couple of words, but when the evening finally came to an end and we said goodbye to hospitable hosts, bill offered to go to his rented apartment and is there to socialize in a relaxed atmosphere.

Despite the severe fatigue, we, of course, did not refuse. Joy from meeting and curiosity clearly outweighed all on light of.

Stone lived not far from the hotel where we were accommodated. The apartment was small but quite cozy, equipped with all the latest local fashion and modern technology.

Quickly by building snacks and filling glasses sparkling wine, bill asked first us with Arthur to tell about adventures, through which we had to pass, and when we ended, he began its narrative.

His capsule was brought to a deserted planet with some unpronounceable name. If not for his natural luck, he would still sang on this planet. Luckily it arrived a research expedition from the planet Pinkton located in the same part of the Galaxy that Argan. The captain of the space vessel has kindly offered to take bill to his planet, and from there he was transported to Argan as the most highly developed planet in this star system.

He has been here for several months and is studying the latest developments in space construction, even took part in some projects. His respect, and to view his listen. On the flight to Earth, he never dreamed but now, having met with us in his soul now we can hope to return home.

We talked until the morning, and then went to the hotel, where we slept until lunch.

Closer to the evening we had scheduled to meet with Vick, head of the Observatory, which we would like to know about planetary system Argan, it is very strange.

Vic greeted us warmly, spent in his office and offered to taste fine drinks, cooked on a small wine and brandy factory, which was in his personal possession.

We gladly tasted three varieties of wine and cognac drink, kindly offered to us by the hospitable host. All drinks had a great taste and aroma.

Having talked for the sake of decency on usual, everyday subjects, we, at last, started discussion of questions for the sake of which we also came to Vick.

• Tell us, please, how it turned out that in one bunch there were four planets at once, including yours. As they are called, than interesting and useful for you, than inhabitants of these planets if they, certainly, there are are engaged in what, - I asked.

To be continued...

Thank you for your attention, until new meetings!
