Dangerous Wars

Vella was busy with her scientific training, and Timba was checking instruments and studying atmospheric pressure, in the cabin of the Flying Ferix. Pythons supervised the work of the robots on the platform, Tomaka looked at the available geographical maps, Malonga first. Everything, as it were, has improved a little.
In the evening, at six, according to the internal schedule, everyone accidentally gathered in the dining room.
– I wonder what this planet holds? No matter how much I look at it, I can't make out what is there? – Timba asked.
– According to the maps, that's where our wealth is. Eat whatever you want. Diamonds-please, fuel-any, animals – different, just have time to load, – said Tomaka.
– I think, if the "well-wishers" probably knew what was there, then I would not have got these cards. And we wouldn't be here either, – Pythons said.
– Then I hope we're all very lucky! – Tomaka said and laughed.
– Tomaka, please tell me, is it good to be rich? – Timba, the commander, asked.
– The more wealth, the more responsibility. And not always rich, it means money, – Tomaka replied, assessing his actually poor condition.
– So, as I understand it, in any case, wealth is a great responsibility for people. Then, why be rich, let others think for me, and I will rest and rejoice, – said Tomaka, Timba again.
– Timba, whether you are rich or poor, you will always rest and enjoy yourself, – Pythons joked.
– Think about it, there is a difference ," you are being led or when you are being led." Let's close the subject and talk about the morning landing, – Tomaka said.
– Is something wrong again? – Vella asked the commander, not lightly hinting about the death of the flight engineer.
– No, everything is fine and we will not remember it, we all agreed … not to mention it! – Tomaka answered them all.
– I'm sorry, it just came out of my mouth, – Vella apologized.
– I know everyone was nervous today, – Tomaka said.
– And when we land to win riches, from the unintelligent natives? – Timba joked, referring to the local animals or humanoid creatures.
– In the morning, at eight o'clock, we gather on the lower platform, the standard form of clothing, then we do it according to commands. Chief, I, if anything happens, then by rank, first pilot-Pythons, second pilot-Timba, then, doctor-Vella, – said, for the entire crew, Tomaka.
– Friends, today I am officially the last day of the poor, be happy for me. Thank you all! – Timba said, and with a good mood, he began to eat hot, meat soup.
The crew of the spaceship "Flying Ferix", after dinner, went to their personal affairs. After all, tomorrow, a new day will come, there will be interesting acquaintances, and for them, you need to be always ready.
The entire crew, falling asleep, imagined what might be waiting for him, on this little-known planet of Malonga the first, in the galaxy of Pyrimea. But no one knew that they would really meet there…!
Chapter 3. Malonga first
At eight in the morning, as agreed in the evening, everyone gathered on the lower platform, where they prepared capsules, landers and various cargo vehicles. The platform was huge enough to accommodate several military spaceships, but it was used only for civilian purposes. The spaceship "Flying Ferix", was quite roomy, such a small state, it contained working and cargo compartments. All this made it possible to carry out transportation processes. Of course, they could not be compared to the large ships that plied the prastors of the universe, in which small planets could easily fit.
– Well, the moment of truth has arrived. We're getting ready to land, – Tomaka said.
– That's right, commander, let's go to the planet, we're tired of hanging out in space, – Timba said hurriedly, crossing his arms over his chest.
– I agree. So, now everyone is putting on space jumpsuits and standing, everyone at the free capsule, – Tomaka ordered.
Everyone obediently began to dress, and Timba tried to make a joke, but no one paid attention to him, trying not to forget to fasten some of his zipper or zipper. In space, anything could happen, for example, depressurization of the capsule or overflow of the box with gas, so it was necessary to monitor everything, including the integrity of the oxygen system and the complete tightness of the coverall. One death of a flight engineer was more than enough. No one wanted this to happen again, not even Timba, even though he was being uncharacteristically calm and irresponsible.
– The main computer brain, will switch to automatic command mode, according to the instructions and automatic piloting, – Pythons additionally informed everyone.
– Commands received and executed, – the chief computer brain replied in a feminine, pleasant voice, in the speaker, as if confirming the words of the commander and the first mate.
The expedition was ready for departure, within half an hour, everyone gathered at the capsules.
– Places on the planet, indicated for you. The capsules will open after they cool down, if anyone doesn't know. One capsule, one person! – Tomaka joked. – I wish you all a soft landing, see you on Malonga first!
– Thank you, you also have a soft landing! – Vella said.
– Everything will be fine, – Tomaka said, and went back to his capsule.
The crew wished each other a good landing and each took their own capsule, which then closed, and the main computer brain took them into space and then sent them to Malonga first.
First, the capsules with people entered the atmosphere, then land vehicles, cargo transport, and then the cargo itself landed. To the ground, all and all, flew safely.
The spaceship "Flying Ferix", remained to fly in the orbit of Malonga first.
The planet had the necessities that normally support life. Fire and water, the change of day and night, air and organic soil. All this was on her, so the landing of the crew, nothing over dangerous did not portend. It spoke of an ordinary uninhabited planet.
When the last atmospheric analyses were completed, the capsules opened and the people came out. The landing was chosen by the main computer brain, using all possible landing algorithms, that is, the landing place was specially selected, taking into account the least possible danger to the crew and the location of the landing capsules, within the average visibility of a person.
