CHAMBER OF COSMIC AFFAIRS

Calling First Lieutenant Pirx!

PIRX'S ADVENTURES

Based on Stanislaw Lem's works, written by:

Cast:

Part 4.

* Terminus, the Crown Witness *

- First Lieutenant Pirx? - Yes.

Was it you, who handed in a petition to the Chamber of Cosmic Affairs?

Yes.

- Is this that petition? - Yes. - Have a seat! - Thank you.

The Chamber entrusted the Court led by me to revise your observations.

I would like to ask you Lieutenant Pirx,

do you still uphold your plea, or not?

I still uphold it.

So, you still request the investigation of the operation?

Yes.

Do you have any personal interest concerning the content of this plea?

I don't understand.

I'm asking you if you'll have any moral or financial gain from it

if we decide to deal with your request?

No, I won't.

Then why did you decide to make this move?

The man, whom humanity can thank for

the first antimatter-powered spaceship,

was in my opinion, wrongfully convicted 3 years ago.

On what do you base your statement?

I think it wasn't the construction that was faulty,

and now it might even be possible to prove this.

How can you prove it?

On behalf of the prosecuting magistrate I must inform you,

that if your petition proves to be invalid,

we'll use your petition to raise a charge against you for slandering the court.

I understand that.

And now, let's go through the certain points

of the petition, and draw our conclusions.

Mr. Chairman, again, I would like to draw your attention to the fact

that the statements of the petition are based on vague presumptions.

These are not proven facts.

Your remarks are noted.

Therefore we should first and foremost

deal with the statements, and their validity

instead of the conclusions based upon them.

Topic Number One:

Regarding the functional condition of

the general-purpose worker-robot, Terminus.

Well, tell us about your first encounter with the robot.

When I received my official promotion,

I hurried to the spaceport immediately.

- Tell me, where is launch sector No.7? - This is it. What are you looking for?

I was told that the Blue Star is parking here.

You came to visit the museum? That's over there!

Oh, my God!

- Is it possible to fly with that? - Are you, by any chance the..?

- I am the new commander. - My condolences.

Thank you.

Who is it?

I am Terminus!

Who is it?

Terminus.

I am here!

It is cold in here!

I see badly.

Are you taking care of the engine?

Terminus.

Of the engine.

Of the engine.

I am checking the seams.

- I am checking the seams. - Terminus!

Go to your place!

Yes, sir.

Terminus.

I am checking the seams.

I see badly.

It's cold in here!

Tell me, Lieutenant! What do you know about

Gutter, who was convicted 3 years ago?

I don't understand the question.

Have you met him recently?

This talented scientist, the creator of the first antimatter-powered spaceship,

currently works as a low-ranking technician on a penitentiary moon.

Answer my question!

What was your question?

So...

Have you met Gutter recently?

Have you or have you not?

- Gutter? - That's me.

Are you the same Jan Gutter, who was convicted

for the Nautilus catastrophe 3 years ago?

That's right.

First Lieutenant Pirx.

What do you want?

I'm taking command of the newly rebuilt Nautilus.

- That's your problem. - I handed in a petition in your interest.

I think it is possible to prove your innocence.

Go to hell with your petition.

Don't you understand, man? You could ask for a new court procedure, a new trial!

I'm not interested in your trials.

Think about it! You'll never get back on your feet otherwise!

Why? Do you think I'm standing on my hands these days?

You're doing a job that is inferior to your abilities.

You just leave my abilities alone, please!

They already proved my total inability on paper 3 years ago.

What's more, since I've been here on this

penitentiary moon, I had a lot of time to think.

Do you feel like you're guilty?

Nobody was interested about my feelings 3 years ago either.

Nautilus exploded five days after its launch. 4 people died.

Even though the calculations were good, but still...

I was the main constructor.

You were sentenced to serve 12 years in jail.

What do you think will be left of you by the time you get out of here?

That's still far off.

Look at me.

The man sitting in front of you

is a tacit, settled and calm man,

May the sky fall on this whole thing!

- Hello Gloria! - Hello. How was your trip?

It was a bit complicated.

My friends were so jealous when they found out

that you're already a First Lieutenant at such a young age.

But I told them how hard it is for you these days,

just to make them even more envious!

But I hope everything is in order now, right?

I'll be trying on my clothes on Wednesday.

- I would like it if you'd see them, too! - On Wednesday?

- Unfortunately, I can't. - Why not?

Come here, please, to discuss everything.

You know, I filed a petition...

What petition? I've already arranged everything!

You know it's about a very important issue.

And I've found some serious evidence on the journey.

They've already started the trials.

Oh, my God, Pirx! When will you grow up?

We already delayed our wedding once because of this trip,

and now, when you come home, you start looking for evidence,

instead of... Grow up finally!

Try to understand, Gloria!

This is very important, this trial is...

Gloria!

So, we can point out that Gutter himself doesn't wish to reopen the case.

So why are we all here then?

On the other hand, I can prove that only First Lt. Pirx

could profit from this whole thing.

Well, well... I am curious to hear that.

I'm asking for Borst to appear as witness.

- Borst, as witness? - Yes.

According to jurisprudence, you came across

your supposed evidence while in space.

So we must also hear from the other participants of that space mission.

- You mean, from my subordinates? - I meant from the other crew-members.

I'm calling in Lieutenant Borst!

- Lieutenant Borst! - Yes.

Sit down, please!

You were the navigator of the Blue Star...

under First Lt. Pirx's command. Is that correct?

Yes.

Are you claiming that First Lt. Pirx filed his petition for selfish reasons?

Yes.

Do you think this did not happen in the interest of Jan Gutter?

I have every reason to assume that.

I don't understand you. On what basis do you say that?

Look, pal! You had a bit of success recently.

Simply put, you just got used to success.

Shortly after your diploma, you were promoted to the rank of commander,

and then you found out, that your very first spaceship is a piece of junk.

The mission wasn't so interesting either.

So he had to come up with something.

Are you saying that Pirx wanted to turn

an unimportant mission into a success story?

At any costs... Even if it means forfeiting the truth?

I'd rather just put it this way: at the cost of an unimportant mission.

I believe, Mr Chairman, that the human context of the matter is quite clear.

I suggest the immediate termination of the proceedings.

Thank you.

I've finished questioning the witness.

I also would like to ask a question from the witness.

Tell me, please. What is the relationship between you?

- I was his navigator. - I don't mean it that way.

Personally.

I occasionally did not agree with my commander,

but otherwise we were on good terms.

We were classmates at the Academy.

Don't be polite, Borst.

We were never really enthusiastic about each other.

Just remember! When you found out that you'll be my subordinate...

Pardon me, Mr. Chairman, but what does this have to do with the case?

You are right.

It is the petition and Jan Gutter himself, that interests us,

not First Lt. Pirx's motives.

But I would like to remind you that it was you, who pointed out the issue.

Well, then... Let's return to the petition.

I have already asked for the termination of the proceedings,

because it became obvious that the

investigation is not in Jan Gutter's interest.

Come on! He is an unfortunate man, who in his wounded pride

doesn't even know what he's saying.

Please! If the accused himself does not wish

to have a new trial, according to existing law...

According to existing law, there are other possibilities as well.

Yes, Mr. Chairman,

in special cases, in matters of great importance to humanity, perhaps.

Why? Don't you think that the creation of the

first antimatter powered spaceship is not such a matter?

We'll continue the proceedings tomorrow at 10 am, with the help of a technical expert.

Wait. I'll show you my wedding dress. I'll turn it on.

Do you like it?

And what about this one?

Or this?

- Honey, this is not why I called you. - What do you mean by that?

Are you not interested in my wedding dress?

Yes, I am. But it seems like...

the hearing will go on for a bit longer.

What do you mean longer?

Hurry up and come home! We must visit grandma the day after tomorrow.

- The day after tomorrow? - Yes, the day after tomorrow.

- Honey, it's impossible. The hearing... - You said it'd be settled quickly.

Yes, but it seems like they're continuing the investigation. I must stay here.

Should I visit my grandma on my own then?

So, you're saying that the robot's behaviour is completely normal.

Yes.

At least that's what I thought at our first encounter.

It acted a bit strange, but with such an old model it's not unusual.

And what's your opinion, Lt Borst?

In my opinion this robot is structurally damaged, confused and stupid.

It's constant mumbling is without reason.

It's no surprise that the investigation couldn't find

anything relevant about it 3 years ago either.

I'll sum it up: according to Borst the robot is structurally damaged.

But according to Pirx it was working well upon their first encounter.

But later it was not!

Please, do not bend my statement!

When did you meet the robot for the first time?

As I have already said in my previous statement,

after I was promoted, and took over the ship.

- So, still on Earth? - Yes.

And you, Lieutenant Borst?

Did you see the robot on Earth or in space?

Nobody could have met the robot before launch, only me.

Not even the reactor engineer?

We control this type of reactor from the control centre.

And since the engineer was still saying

good bye to his wife five minutes before the launch,

I don't think he saw it either.

Come on! This is ridiculous.

It's the engineer's duty to check all systems of the reactor before launch.

And the robot is also such a system.

I am calling for the reactor engineer as a witness.

Rokovsky, reactor engineer is on Helios-07. He is on

a mission beyond the Solar System. He is due to return in 2 years.

This means we have to be satisfied with First Lt. Pirx's report on this.

And you, Lt Borst, when did you see it for the first time?

Do you remember?

Yes, I do. It happened shortly after the launch.

- Was everything all right with the launch? - Yes.

Although this piece of old junk was somewhat clumsy.

It wasn't even moving at 70% reactor load.

The entire control-room was trembling though.

So, we rather overheated the engine in order to launch.

And didn't the overheating cause any negative consequences?

No.

The temperature of the engine rose a little, but the leakage was insignificant.

So, shortly after the launch, Commander Pirx left the control-room,

only to return excitedly somewhat later.

He sounded very confusing...

So, I didn't really understand whatever he wanted to say.

First Lt. Pirx, what happened after you left the control-room?

Somebody is practising Morse-codes perhaps?

What a strange idea!

But who?

Everyone is on duty.

I am...

behind...

the wall.

The containment vessel...

cracked.

Ice is...

everywhere.

Ice. What kind of ice?

Pratt, Pratt answer!

Vajn answer!

This is Simon!

Simon.

Who's that?

Monzen, answer!

Monzen, answer!

That's impossible!

Simon.

To Monzen.

Pratt.

He is on the sixth.

Behind...

the wall...

with the last...

bottle.

Monzen!

Answer!

Monzen, answer!

Monzen, answer!

When I decoded the signals,

I had a strange feeling.

Everything was so familiar, and yet so inexplicable at the same time.

I excitedly ran back to the control-room.

I must have looked confused, because Borst gazed at me with a startled expression.

Are you surprised by that, pal?

You weren't just looking confused, but troubled instead!

I thought some serious trouble had happened.

- Borst! - What is it? What's happened?

Come with me for a second!

What is all this excitement about?

Who were the crew of Nautilus? Do you remember?

Of course, I do. Monzen was the commander,

and the crew: Pratt, Vajn and Simon.

- Monzen, Pratt and Vajn and Simon. - Yes, they all died.

The catastrophe happened five days after the launch.

The reactor broke down.

Later on they repaired it and renamed it. It's called Blue Star now.

Pal! This was my topic at the

History of Astronautics exam at university.

Come with me!

They didn't die immediately according to the investigation.

The onboard partitions wrecked by the explosion cut them off from each other.

They had no chance to escape.

But they didn't panic...

They kept on communicating with each other

using Morse-codes.

Come on! Don't be crazy, all this had happened 3 years ago,

just because some mad robot is knocking now,

the youngest commander of the space fleet is...

Wait. Listen!

Pratt, Pratt...

Monzen...

he is not answering... but...

he... still has some... oxygen left...

Simon, Monzen.

Give the cable to Pratt.

Pratt doesn't have oxygen.

But who is this?

Maybe Monzen?

This is Pratt... My hands are freezing...

I can't take it any longer.

Of course, of course. Pratt was on Level 6. His oxygen ran out first.

And the others couldn't help him.

But why didn't Monzen answer?

Did he die by then perhaps?

This is Vajn!

I can hear Monzen from beneath. I can still hear him, but just weakly.

Monzen, answer!

Help Pratt.

Of course, by now everybody just thinks about themselves.

If there is enough oxygen and some food, and the rescue comes in time...

Don't slander Monzen!

Anyway, even if they'd have been found,

the reactor radiation had already contaminated them.

Listen!

What are the Morse-codes you're sending, Terminus?

I'm checking the sutures.

I'm checking the sutures.

0.4 roentgen/hour.

Can I continue?

The Morse-codes! What are they?

Morse-codes?

I don't understand.

I don't understand.

You're fucked up, pal.

They found a robot at the bottom of the reactor room.

I mean, under the ruins.

Maybe this is the same one.

I still remember the topic clearly!

This is not just a topic!

This was a real catastrophe, do you understand?

Does this mean that you don't deny Pirx's claims in his petition?

The robot's signals are connected to the catastrophe.

The question is, how do we interpret the robot's signals,

and what conclusions we will deduce from them.

Yes.

The connection is undeniable, I acknowledge that.

Terminus' metal brain listened to and recorded

the Morse-codes of the dying men.

Some parts of these communications were preserved in it's crystal-memory.

But there are no correlations between the sentences!

The uttered sentences are so much detached from it's brain-functions,

that it doesn't even know about them.

What does the technical expert conclude from all this?

In my opinion, the robot's information is valid.

You can't look at a brain as a technical unit only,

even if it belongs to such a simple robot.

As we know the signals were not recorded

in the same way as a tape recorder would do that,

by that I mean, in a linear, successive way,

but they seem to create an almost spatial representation,

and strange as it might sound, it is possible

to ask questions of it, and it will answer.

So, are you suggesting we ask the robot about the reasons for the catastrophe?

Yes.

In my opinion, it is a must.

If Terminus witnessed the catastrophe,

then it knows a lot, that could help in revealing the truth.

That's exactly what I'm against!

It is possible to pose questions, and it will surely respond, but

the given answers will have nothing to do with this whole thing.

- We must try it at least! - I object!

We won't have evidence to prove, that the robot's answers

...let's just call them answers for the sake of simplification...

are acceptable or not. How can we be sure

of the authenticity and factuality of its answers?

Let me point out something else as well.

How is it possible that the last investigation that took place 3 years ago

left this important witness out of consideration completely?

Why didn't they ask him back then?

Were they waiting for Pirx, perhaps?

There is no need for your ire!

The Nautilus was contaminated with

radioactivity during the explosion of the reactor.

They had to wait for the contamination to break down.

This was the first trip of the reconstructed spaceship.

But I seriously doubt whether they actually examined Terminus

back then, since it was also contaminated.

Not to mention that not too many people

would have expected answers in the form of Morse-codes

from a robot who understands human speech.

As you all know, the records of the previous investigation are classified.

They are top secret. But as chairman, I was allowed to have a look at them.

And I won't break regulations by reading out a couple of details from them.

First Lt. Pirx was telling the truth.

Terminus wasn't questioned back then, indeed.

Despite the radioactive contamination,

the questioning could have been arranged

with the use of some technical equipment.

But this wasn't the main reason.

The leader of the investigation seems

to have chosen a fairly arbitrary method back then.

Mr. Chairman, this is slanderous! A serious offence!

Dr. Smith is one of the best jurists of our days.

Several hundreds of young lawyers got

trained under his tutelage in our department.

Our department?

Does this mean you are Dr. Smith's associate?

That's why you were defending the honour of your trade so much, right?

I protest against this offensive tone!

Prof. Smith followed judicial practice...

...what's more, he followed common sense during those investigations.

Pardon me, Mr Chairman. Who is this Dr. Smith?

One of the leading professors at the Academy of Law.

His career really took off following the Gutter-case.

Well, as for myself, I accept First Lt. Pirx's suggestion.

We'll ask Terminus.

Mr. Chairman. This is a wrong decision.

From a legal point of view, this method of investigation...

First Lt. Pirx, have you come up with your questions to the robot already?

For that I'd need to know the statements of the last investigation from 3 years ago.

According to the records, the launch of the Nautilus was excellent.

The new construction lived up to the preliminary expectations.

But five days after the launch,

all contact was lost with the spaceship.

Since the spaceship didn't reply, they carried out a search,

but a patrol-ship only found it 32 days later.

According to the investigation, the ship's reactor had exploded.

And the crew only survived the catastrophe for a couple of days.

What kind of data were preserved in

concerning the reactor's operation?

Unfortunately the computer's memory got damaged during the explosion.

Therefore no useful data could be saved from it.

Based on the available evidence,

the investigation came to the conclusion back then,

that the construction was not sufficiently developed.

The launch of the test-mission was too early.

The constructor shouldn't have approved it.

So, to prove Gutter's innocence,

the investigation should show

the the catastrophe was caused by other reasons,

and not because of bad construction.

The questions asked from the robot must focus on this.

Mr. Chairman, I repeat my objection to use

such methods during the investigation.

As a legal expert...

And as Dr. Smith's associate, am I right?

But don't forget that you're not in a

comfortable position now, as was Dr. Smith back then,

leading the investigation from the attorney's chair.

Yes, as Dr. Smith's associate,

I am forced to call your decision an unlawful one.

Citing the 83rd paragraph of the Universal Law Book... I quote,

First article

The testimony of things that are built as mechanical constructions,

or programmes with artificial intelligence

cannot generally be accepted as testimony in the course of judicial legal practice.

Tell me, why didn't you also quote the clause of the article as well?

In such cases, the word of the chairman of the appellate court is always final.

Didn't you remember that, too? Or did you forget it?

But please! This is basically a legal problem.

If we accept a robot's testimony,

we will create an inconvenient legal precedent.

A year from now robots could be asked in cases of homicide as well.

I am calling for the investigation to be suspended.

I don't consent.

Your decision doesn't just offend, but completely upsets common legal practice!

As a sign of my protest, I'm leaving the room now.

You're not allowed to leave the room!

Is it really me, who is breaking legal practice?

Let me also quote from the 83rd paragraph.

4th article.

The testimony of things that are built as mechanical constructions,

or programmes with artificial intelligence

can be accepted in extreme cases.

Especially in legal cases when programmed intelligences were used

for special, scientific purposes.

The construction of the world's first antimatter-powered spaceship,

is just such a case, in my opinion.

Not to mention, that the 83rd paragraph has no bearing on this case at all.

Because in our case it's not about the testimony of an intelligence built into

some mechanical device.

The late astronauts still 'live' in the circuits of that old robot.

We are asking for THEIR testimony.

I'm asking you to accept my resignation from representing the case.

Since we are getting close to the end of the procedure, I cannot do that.

It is your duty to to finish your job.

- Hello, Gloria! - Hello.

Guess what, a couple of days more, and we're done here.

Mr Chairman decided to question Terminus on Thursday.

What do you mean, on Thursday?

Do you think it's so easy to hire the wedding reception hall?

I stood in line for the advance booking until midday.

Our wedding will be on Thursday, I've just arranged it!

I understand, sweetie, but I must attend a field inspection that day.

Tell them not to have the field inspection on Thursday, because you're busy elsewhere!

But it's not so simple as that...

- Arrange another time for us, will you? - What do you mean, get another time?

I also booked the banquet-hall of Hotel Sirius.

All the relatives were informed, too. And

they already ordered the space-taxis to get there!

And I also ordered the helicopters!

Just keep them calm!

Tell them that I also...

Replace the generator as well!

Borst! The committee has arrived. Come!

- The committee is here. - Thank you.

Welcome, gentlemen.

If you allow me, I'll show you the way.

- Check the integrated electronic circuits! - All right!

Terminus!

The Morse-codes!

Terminus!

The Morse-codes!

Don't you understand?

Terminus!

The Morse-codes!

I noticed some leakage. I am filling the gap.

0.4 roentgen/hour.

I'm continuing my job.

May I resume, sir?

Terminus! The Morse-codes!

I noticed some leakage. I am filling the gap.

0.4 roentgen/hour.

I'm continuing my job.

May I resume, sir?

In one word, it's all over!

The robot didn't want to give us the Morse-codes.

I don't understand what happened.

What could be the reason?

The investigation was closed.

- The petition was turned down. - What happens next?

Can't you come up with something? We can postpone our wedding if you want.

No. There is no need for that.

First Lt. Pirx?

Yes.

Please go to the Chamber of Cosmic Affairs tomorrow at 10 am!

To the Chamber...

Thank you.

Tomorrow morning...

I don't understand.

Do you know why they decided to continue the investigation?

Continuing?

Come on! This is just another example of the Chairman's self-important attitude.

He wants to officially announce the results of the investigation.

I mean, it's lack of results...

I told you from the very beginning, pal. This is just...

a worthless piece of malfunctioning junk of a robot.

I told you not to believe what it says. Everybody's laughing at you now.

Your only excuse is your young age and inexperience.

This whole case is very unpleasant for me as well.

Being forced to participate in such a ridiculous investigation.

Sit down, please!

We continue the investigation of Lt. Pirx's petition.

We continue?

Pardon me, Mr. Chairman, but I can't see what is still there

to investigate after yesterday's unsuccessful test?

Or did you, perhaps, find another paragraph

that can turn a failure into a success?

I must strongly advise you to refrain from such comments!

A new witness has appeared for our case.

How come I wasn't informed of this?

We didn't have enough time.

And since it is about some technical detail, I deemed

it was enough to inform our technical expert only.

Mr. Chairman! I have already announced my withdrawal from the case.

From now on, I'll refrain from giving voice to my opinion.

I seriously doubt that.

Let's start the hearing of the witness. I'm calling for Jan Gutter as witness.

You contacted me yesterday afternoon,

requesting to be a witness in our investigation.

Please, repeat everything you told me yesterday afternoon.

I heard about the failure of the investigation from the media.

I couldn't help pondering about...

the cause of this failure.

I, on my part,

suspected some technical issues.

But then I was helped out by Lt. Borst.

Me?

Yes.

The Chairman gave me the chance to read the record of the investigation.

And in it, I found a sentence said by Lt. Borst...

It was he, who gave me the key to this riddle.

I protest!

Did the Chairman really give the official report to an outsider?

I'm happy to see that you've already proved me right,

and you're not refraining from further comments.

But since when is the convict an outsider to his own case?

Please, continue your testimony.

What did I say?

What sentence of mine are your talking about?

According to the records, your words were:

"It wasn't even moving at 70% reactor load."

Which means, you had to overload the reactor.

The temperature was running quite high!

The heat!

I didn't think of that.

To be accurate, it's the radioactive heat we're talking about.

To make the robot talk about the catastrophe,

and to evoke this hidden memory of his

we must surround Terminus with the very same harsh circumstances

as it experienced when it was at the centre of the explosion

in the middle of enormous radioactivity and heat.

Well, then. Do you understand it now?

We carried out our test while the reactor was cold,

and the spaceship was on the ground.

Therefore from a technical viewpoint I declare

the previous test inadequately prepared.

So, of course, I'm expecting the usual dissent of the legal consultant,

but I'm calling for a repeat of the test.

- Reactor capacity: 95%. - Keep increasing it!!

Commander! The bow temperature is 3500°C.

It is rapidly rising.

That's good. Increase capacity!

Overload: 10%.

Engine-temperature: 750°C.

- Overload: 15% - Excellent. Keep increasing it!

I'm surprised this junk is still in one piece.

Don't grumble. I'm sure you've never made a lap of honour for the sake of a robot.

Overload: 20%!

25%!

Engine: 850°C.

- Overload: 30%. - That's it!

I am not Monzen.

This is Simon!

Who are you?

Who are you?

Answer!

Help me!

Help, help us!

Help...

Don't you understand? Answer! We are all in distress.

This is Pratt!

Help me!

The oxygen ran out!

Send some along the pipeline!

Help me!

Monzen, come in!

Monzen, come in!

Mozen... are you hurt?

Monzen... Were you hurt by the meteor-impact?

Were you hurt by the meteor-impact? Monzen!

Meteor-impact!

A reactor could explode from that!

I want this sentence to be emphasised in the records!

Terminus! Stop!

Terminus! Continue your work!

I noticed some leakage. I'm filling the gap.

0.4 roentgen/hour.

I'm continuing my job!

May I continue, sir?

The temperature is rising.

The temperature is rising.

The temperature is rising.

We found out that the catastrophe that took place

3 years ago, wasn't the result of bad construction,

but of an unexpected meteor-impact on Nautilus.

The meteor penetrated the wall of the spaceship,

damaged the bulwark of the reactor,

and exited on the other side.

The investigation proved the innocence of the previously convicted Jan Gutter.

Therefore the Chamber of Cosmic Affairs asked the presidency

to nullify the previous sentence.

The presidency accepted the proposal,

and ordered

that the ship previously named as Nautilus,

the world's first antimatter-powered spaceship,

be given the new name of Jan Gutter,

and as one of the most important artefacts of space missions

be placed in the Cosmic World Museum.

Furthermore, as of today, Jan Gutter

is appointed as the leader of Cosmic Chamber's construction office.

And tell me, Mr. Chairman, what will become of Terminus?

Look, the whole scene we saw on the spaceship was very shocking.

I don't want others to evoke the events of the catastrophe in the future

the same way as we did.

And for that reason, I ordered Terminus to be dismembered.

- Hello! - Hello!

What kind of clothes are you wearing? You haven't even changed?

Pirx, how can you be so irresponsible?

Don't be anxious, honey. I'm already nearly back.

- Where are you? - Nearly home.

I'm taking the Jan Gutter spaceship into the museum.

I can't believe how easy it is to manoeuvre with this one.

Pirx, you are out of your mind!

The entire family is here!

Grandma, granddad, and all the wedding guests.

Don't be anxious, honey! By the time I have to say 'yes', I'll be there.
