Timba was walking beside Vella, not to save her from falling, but to prepare another of his stupid jokes on her. Well, he was such a man, ready for any mischief.

Pythons, did not look at anyone, he thought dryly and thought that everything would be fine with them in the future.

At the intersection of the corridors, suddenly, an animal resembling a small dog jumped out. It was a robot puppy, on small, metal legs. He ran across the floor, and before he could stop, he ran into a corner. His eyes glittered as if from a blow, he saw sparkling "stars". The puppy shook his head, looked at us, obviously his vision returned to him, and made joyful sounds from the speakers, resembling a gentle yapping. Its metal tail, made of flexible joints, also wagged happily from side to side.

– Oh, what a puppy, – Vella cried.

The puppy heard Vella's exclamation with its plastic ears, with their built-in receiving sensors, and rushed to snuggle up to her.

– Kaaran, who is this? – the Emperor of Maront asked.

– Someone's toy must have been lost, – Commander Kaaran replied.

– Order her to be removed, for she is disturbing our guests, – Emperor Maront ordered.

– Excuse me, can I leave her, she's so affectionate? – Vella asked.

– Well, only for your sake, – said Emperor Maront, displeased.

– New crew member, – Timba joked.

– Are there many such toys here? – Vella asked.

– Not really, it's someone's masterwork, the author would have to be punished, or his master, – Commander Kaaran replied a little disgustedly.

The dog stuck to Vella's leg like a thread, as if realizing that it was now her owner, forgetting about its previous owner.

But suddenly, ahead, a door opened and a man appeared, a Sipurian in a white doctor's robe, apparently common for all planets. A little old and a little blind, his eyes glittered, which gave away the false lenses. His slight stoop gave him a slightly intimidating appearance, in addition to his sly smile. A white cap, slightly slid down on the right side, covered his cheeks, his hair was already beginning to turn gray. The lips were thick and slightly curved to the left. The nose is unpleasant, like a round vegetable, blob. The body, thick and hanging down the belly, sometimes climbed out, between the dressing gown fasteners.

At the sight of us, he stopped, the doctor became a little stooped and in the opposite direction, retreated a couple of steps, which did not allow the doors to close and they remained open.

When they came up with this Sipurian, they all saw a small but spacious room, well equipped, not only with medical equipment, but also with other equipment.

And the main thing that struck me was the glass flasks, such as they are in horror films, scary, large, in which there were really people floating in special solutions. And this, there were women whose age, barely reached the age of majority, very young.

Emperor Maront, understood the embarrassment of the crew and despite all the haste, apparently decided to show off "his" work achievements.

– Oh, you must be confused to see everything, but don't worry, these are our 'progenitors'. As I told you, we have our own survival conditions. Please, you can come in and see, – said the Emperor of Maront, and as if to set an example to everyone, he was the first to enter the room, slightly pushing the doctor aside.

Tomaka, a little scared, but not giving the appearance of a real commander, followed the Emperor, and the others, already entered after him in turn, also, fearing something inside themselves.

The robot puppy, as soon as he ran into the room, immediately sat down, in its functions, it was prescribed to be afraid and it turned on, he was afraid. At the sight of the naked girls, not moving and hung with some kind of tubes, the robot puppy tucked his tail between his legs.

The room was perfectly clean, all the equipment had its own place, glass flasks were built into the walls, which gave the room an additional place to work. There were no tables or chairs. Everything is built into the wall and, if necessary, was taken out from there, with the help of various control panels installed under the flasks. On top of the walls, up to the middle, there were these flasks, below, on a slightly sloped panel, there were sensor consoles.

The attention of the crew was more focused on the flasks, because in them, floating live girls connected to life support, hoses and wires. The girls seemed about to open their eyes and look at the carriage. It was a terrible sight, all of them with one foot before they fainted, except, of course, Emperor Maront, Commander Kaaran, and the doctor standing at the door.
