The melancholy has expelled him outside. Once, breaking the strict order of the commander, forbidden to leave planetolet
without absolutely special necessity, it took the automatic machine and has got out of the open hatch in a curling fog. More
than hour wandered it on hvoshevym to jungle, timidly looking around at each sigh of bog, has collected in kollektorsky the
container some curious samples of local flora - fragments of whitish seaweed, round phosphorescing hats of young
mushrooms, has typed in a special jar disgusting by sight silt. Has then lost all it when, having failed in bog, tried to get out,
catching at slippery fragile stalks of huge plants. Having got out and having drowned the automatic machine, unarmed, he
long searched in a reddish fog lost planetolet. After all it it zareksja to leave the refuge, being limited to that it was possible to
see and hear from a threshold of "Hiusa". And, to tell under the truth, in new impressions of a lack was not...
Once something heavy, with dimly shining skin, hard being answerable and rattling, has crept out of bog, has stared at the
stood navigator mean white cataracts. Having come round, Michael Antonovich was pulled behind the weapon, but the
strange visitor has already disappeared, was dissolved in a fog. Huge lilac slugs crept under the reservation planetoleta, hard
fell, buried in silt. Over a head in a reddish haze any wide shades sometimes soared. A carnivorous plant broke off on a part
desperately fighting huge caterpillar; someone shouted in a haze hoarse, hysterical shout; in a fog as though the chain of the
linked hairy balls by air floated - trembling sticky threads moved, the huge chain seemed infinite. Michael Antonovich, having
battened down the hatch, has left to sleep, and without having seen a tail of a monster. Somehow, when he dozed near
devices, planetolet has slightly rocked. He has woken up and has got out of the hatch - to look. Near to planetoletom the
wide oval holes quickly filled with a muddy swill blackened: Any monsters? Has passed by, having touched planetolet and
having left these enormous traces and a wide glade in a waving wall of jungle.
