Ковчег спасения. Пропасть Искупления

Kovcheg spasenii͡a.Rasshiri͡ai͡a svoi vladenii͡a, pokori͡ai͡a vse novye zvezdy, chelovechestvo razdelilosʹ na sopernichai͡ushchie frakt͡sii. V dvadt͡satʹ shestom veke kollektivisty sochleniteli vedut borʹbu so storonnikami "demokraticheskoĭ anarkhii". Kogda kazhetsi͡a, chto pobeda uzhe blizka, sochleniteli obnaruzhivai͡ut v kosmose priblizhai͡ushchiĭsi͡a roĭ drevnikh mysli͡ashchikh mashin, kotorye nazyvai͡ut sebi͡a ingibitorami i schitai͡ut svoeĭ glavnoĭ zadacheĭ unichtozhenie li͡ubogo biologicheskogo razuma.Sochleniteli ne veri͡at, chto im udastsi͡a vyderzhatʹ natisk ėtogo novogo vraga, i namerevai͡utsi͡a sbezhatʹ, podstaviv vse prochie chelovecheskie plemena pod udar ingibitorov. Lishʹ odin iz nikh, staryĭ voin Klavėĭn, predpochitaet ostatʹsi͡a, chtoby organizovatʹ otchai͡annoe soprotivlenie…Propastʹ Iskuplenii͡a.Esli vo Vselennoĭ poi͡avli͡aetsi͡a novai͡a forma zhizni i dostigaet opredelennogo poroga razumnosti, s neĭ besposhchadno raspravli͡ai͡utsi͡a ingibitory, drevnie chistilʹshchiki kosmosa. Seĭchas pod ikh udarom okazalosʹ chelovechestvo.Spasai͡asʹ ot armady mashin-ubiĭt͡s, tysi͡achi bezhent͡sev, vozglavli͡aemye veteranom mnogikh voĭn Klavėĭnom, osnovali kolonii͡u na planete-okeane, kotoroĭ dali imi͡a Ararat. No gibelʹ podstupila i si͡uda. I kogda uzhe kazalosʹ, chto vse koncheno, angelom mshchenii͡a s nebes spustilasʹ nezhdannai͡a gostʹi͡a - chtoby predatʹ muchenicheskoĭ smerti svoego obidchika i podaritʹ ostalʹnym prizrachnyĭ shans.

The Ark of Salvation.Expanding their possessions, conquering all new stars, humanity is divided into rival factions. In the twenty-sixth century, collectivist articulators are fighting the supporters of"democratic anarchy". When it seems that victory is already close, the joiners discover an approaching swarm of ancient thinking machines in space, which call themselves inhibitors and consider their main task to destroy any biological intelligence.The joiners do not believe that they will be able to withstand the onslaught of this new enemy, and intend to escape, exposing all other human tribes to the attack of the inhibitors. Only one of them, the old warrior Clavain, prefers to stay behind to organize a desperate resistance…The Abyss of Redemption.If a new life form appears in the universe and reaches a certain threshold of intelligence, it is mercilessly dealt with by the inhibitors, the ancient cleaners of the cosmos. Now humanity is under their attack.Fleeing an armada of killer machines, thousands of refugees, led by the veteran of many wars Clavain, founded a colony on the ocean planet, which was given the name Ararat. But doom came here, too. And when it seemed that everything was over, an unexpected guest came down from heaven as an angel of vengeance — to put her abuser to martyrdom and give the others a ghostly chance.
