E-e... The cadet, - has told it, - do not take the trouble, bring to me, please, bjuvar from my cabin. It lies on a cot.
JUra descended for bjuvarom. When it has returned, Jurkovsky something printed on the portable electromachine, carelessly
flitting on contacts by fingers of the left hand. Bulls already sat on a usual place, in the big personal armchair; near to it on a
little table the huge pack of newspapers and magazines towered. On a nose of Bykova there were big old-fashioned points.
At first Jura was surprised, looking at Bykova. By the ship worked all. Zhilin daily licked running and control systems, Michael
Antonovich considered and recalculated a course, entered additional commands on cybermanagement, finished the big
textbook and still managed to find somehow time for memoirs. Jurkovsky till the late night read any chubby reports, received
and sent uncountable radiogramms, something deciphered and ciphered on the electromachine. And captain Alexey
Petrovich Bykov read newspapers and magazines. Time a day it, the truth, stood the next watch. But he spent all rest of the
time in the cabin, or to wardrooms. JUru it shocked. For the third days it has not sustained and the captain has asked Zhilin,
what for by the ship. "For responsibility, - Zhilin has told. - if, say, somebody will be lost". At Jury the person was extended.
Zhilin has laughed and has told: "the captain is responsible for all organisation of flight. Before flight it does not have any free
minute. You have noticed, what he reads? These are newspapers and magazines for last two months". - "And during flight?"
- has asked Jura. They stood in a corridor and have not noticed, how has approached Jurkovsky. "During flight the captain
is necessary only when there is an accident, - he has told with a strange smile. - and then it is necessary more than
somebody another".
JUra, going on tiptoe, has put near to Jurkovsky bjuvar. Bjuvar was magnificent, as well as all at Jurkovsky. In a corner
bjuvara there was vrezana a gold plate with an inscription: "IV world congress of planetologists. 20. ÕII.02.
