| I use the stairs... peeking inside
other apartments along the way. Nobody lives there anyway... but now I'm in
hurry. The elevator goes down - very fast. I pad out into the online with no prescription e street, look
around, maybe the insect lover is still near? But there's nobody suspicious
nearby, everybody mind their own business. The bu online with no prescription ug was a passer by
obviously, a serial work. These are being crushed on the streets,
exterminated in the apartments but they keep co online with no prescription oming.
I was having k it'll happen.
The man without face throws his cloak open with an experienced stripper
gesture. There's a rainbow online with no prescription w disk on the inside: a swirling glowing spiral
surrounded by blue.
Oh my. He's from the police himself. At least commissar if he has a online with no prescription a
rainbow badge.
- Oh great, go ahead... - I say in a cheerless voice, - I knew that all
cops are ass holes, but not to this extent..
- online with no prescription - Just listen to me for the start.
- What else is left for me to do? - I shou, - Are you ready?
- Quite.
- Let's go.
I scramb online with no prescription ble onto the wolf's back and he runs through the forest in
relaxed pace. I instinctively duck the tree branches, the wolf snickers. Let
him h online with no prescription have some fun.
In a couple of minutes we leave the forest. The yellow sand is under
the feet now. It's very hot, and wind blows make me to online with no prescription o narrow my eyes. The
chasm nearly 100 meters wide is ahead, and the Eastern styled city can be
seen on the opposite side. r...
online with no prescription - She said, it WAS the last time, - informed Maniac gloomily. - I
haven't visited these brothels for a year! My suit is even without s online with no prescription sex
stimulator!
- Well, mine's with it, - I said, - I just never visit these.
- Too bad for you. Have your fun while young.
In fac online with no prescription ct, Maniac is two years younger than me but he's a cool hacker
while I'm just an ordinary 'newbie', and also he's married, and for the
sec online with no prescription cond time.
- Okay, relax. You'll make peaed some
surprise inside the text file itself too - a tiny program, supposedly
starting in re online with no prescription esponse to an attempt to read the file. Just as should have
been expected. I copied the file to the magnetic diskette, then to the
optical online with no prescription l one and started to disembowel the fruit of Al-Kabar's orchards.
It turned out to be impossible to kill the security programs without
dest online online with no prescription with no prescription troying the file. I had to just knock them out, disable them. Then I got
busy with the inner surpris Stop! - I shout to the driver.
He stops online with no prescription s right before the burning cars and turns around. Even through
the dark glasses of the mask terror and admiration can be seen.
- How did you online with no prescription u do that?
- Get out.
He obviously waits for one more shot, but I plainly point at the
bodies, both shot by me and killed in the online with no prescription e cars' explosions. Go gather the
weapons. He won't dare to try to shoot me now. The speed and accuracy
demonstrated by me is practicall online with no prescription ly impossiy gave me out $1000. In rouble
equivalent of course.
And in quarter of an hour more I entered the Irish pub 'Molly' on 36
R online with no prescription Rubinstein Street. It's not too crowded in the daytime and this helped me.
The Big Mugs {security guards ;-) } by the entrance were relaxed and online with no prescription d just
froze dumb when they saw my canister. I passed the cloak room solemnly and
entered the neat twilight of semi-basement, approached the bar online with no prescription and smiled to
the bartender.
Luckily, bartender in 'Mollye. You never have to wait to be served. The huge dose
of alcohol won't cause han online with no prescription ngover.
But having a real life experience, one really can feel drunk... and
subconsciousness dives into the alcohol drug cheerfully. They online with no prescription say that the
body's natural narcotics - endorphines start being produced then. True or
not, intoxication doesn't disappear instantly when one online with no prescription e exits virtuality.
- Sorry, may I please?... - the young girl sits down by my side. Blond
hair, clean, slightly ' its HD, loading everyth online with no prescription hing known
about Al-Kabar into the shadow's memory. Then the copy steps on the bridge.
Of course, it'll yield nothing, except some time.
- W online with no prescription Who are you?! - roars the monster, grabbing the shadow. I hardly
manage to avoid its moving fingers, crawl along the clenched fist, jump on
online with no prescription
the thread...
- And who are YOU? - I hear from behind. Then the right hand's blow
knocks me down to the monster's feet. I break into ti online with no prescription iny pieces, lie supine
looking rumors
are creeping across "Labyrinth" crossing levels with the ease impossible
even for divers. The deep is n online with no prescription not an obstacle for rumors, nothing could ever
stop them.
Rumors are diver's enemy but now they spread fear across and this works
to my adva online with no prescription antage.
By the end of the 14th level I realize that I can't stand it anymore, I
get out of the deep for a moment and see that it's almost 7 online with no prescription am. It's only
bad for computers to be shut down, the opposite is true for humans.
know, yes.
Pause. Guillermo weighs something in his mind online with no prescription d.
- Mr Gunslinger, what do you know?
It's no use to lie, the man before me is not the one it's worthy to
bluff with.
- Very online with no prescription little. I was informed that there's a problem in "Labyrinth",
that your divers failed to solve it. I was asked to render an assistance to
you. online with no prescription
A pause again. I'm anonymous and it's risky to let me into unpleasant
sides of the Company's life but Guillermo has a 'good nose' fordreadf online with no prescription ful to
offer it for everyone's study.
That's how it goes: somebody can do long jumps of eight meters,
somebody writes poems, somebody online with no prescription y is not dependent on virtuality. But why, why
it's so few of us, so few that one should count not even in percent but by
person?
- Here? - online with no prescription - asked the driver.
- Yes, thanks.
I paid him, got out of the car and went order Viagra online towards my house feeling
inflated like a balloon. Now online with no prescription w I have to either fall asleep submitting myself
t what security systems those brothels have? -
Maniac was surprised, - This is where senators, online with no prescription , Duma deputies, businessmen
... other money sacks always are. Security will cut you off from your
pursuers at once!
I shook my head, online with no prescription didn't know that. It's a shame to confess but I never
visited those 'establishments' before.
- So well... I decided to wait for half an hou online with no prescription ur, - went Maniac on with
his story, - Order viagra But you wouldn't just hang there alone like stupid, right? So I
caand the one where the warehouse is modeled online with no prescription d.
- No dialtone, - says Vika, - Check the wiring.
- Shut down.
- Really?
- Yes.
The blue background with the white fal online with no prescription lling figure fills the screen.
- Now it's safe to turn off your computer, - whispers Vika sleepily.
Good night to you, the most loyal o online with no prescription of my friends... I turned the power
switch and turned off the modem. I need a quiet night, let all mail wait
until the morning. It's already 3: online with no prescription :30 am though..s me.
Hacker's voice softened a little.
- Hi Lenia, what's up?
- The new virus for your collection.
- Toss it online with no prescription here! - said Maniac, hanging up instantly.
I started the modem and sent Al-Kabar's surprise to greedy hands of the
virus creator, then opened online with no prescription d the fridge, took out bread and sausage and moved
to the kitchen to set the teapot on the stove. It'll take Maniac at least
half an hour to ex online with no prescription xamine the virus. For the first ten minutes he'll break it,
then for 2e wall of palaces and skyscrapers was
cut off by the huge knife. The city lo online with no prescription oop road and the forest across it, the
thick and wild forest... that separates from the fuss those who doesn't want
to make a show of themselves. online with no prescription
- Slow down, - I order when we pass the mango growth and approach quite
a type of the mid-Russian thicket, - Stop by that next path.
- online with no prescription It's still a long drive to Al-Kabar...
- I said - stop!
The car stops. I open the door and make a couple of sthe car. The prisoner online with no prescription who submissively waited until the end
of the talk, starts the car. He drives slowly, turning around often as if
expecting a shot at the back o online with no prescription of his head.
The highway is quite busy. Huge trailers try to catch up and ram us a
couple of times. I lower the window and shoot them online with no prescription with rifle aiming at
tires and windshield. These are just trifles yet, the monsters,
"Labyrinth"'s creations. It's not them whom we online with no prescription should be afraid of.
The mn to me, two petty human-like demons. They are covered by
some greenish mossy nasty stuff, rifles are in their online with no prescription knotty hypertrophied
paws. The austere styled, 'professor' looking glasses remain on the face of
one of them.
I shoot them point-blank, th online with no prescription hey even have no time to open fire. I change
the charger and approach the bodies. Their rifles are destroyed by the
bullets. Pity. One can't online with no prescription go very far with just a gun.
I walk through the building: the series of empty befousian... ;-) ), not mentioning
that it's not always possib online with no prescription ble to do this with Russian names at all. Example:
John - Johnny. Now try to do the same with, say, my name: Yuri. Yup... My
point exactly. Be online with no prescription elow is the example of how the first name of the main
character can be 'bent'. The same often happens to other names in the book.
For inexpe online with no prescription erienced reader it might be confusing, so I apologize... Russia
*is* confusing by definition, so bear with it. :-)
Leonid - the complete w online with no prescription much could our competitors pay for this
file?
- Around ten grands, - I raise the price somehow.
Urman looks at me surprised, makes it online with no prescription more exact:
- Ten thousand dollars?
- Yes.
- To be honest, even 100 thousand would be not enough... Okay. Let's
assume that I online with no prescription offer 150.000 to the person that tries to steal the file, on
the condition that he agrees to work for us... for the regular, very good
salary online with no prescription y.
- What is that, cure for cancer? - I ask.
Sergey Lukjanenko. Labyrinth of reflections

* Yuri Kalmykov. Translators notes *
About the Author:
Sergey Lukjanenko, 30, is one of the today's most popular Russian
Sci- online with no prescription -Fi writers. His first works were published in 1988. Currently his
bibliography includes more than 40 titles of novels and short stories. T online with no prescription The
Author defines his genre as the "hard action science fiction", but all his
works also have a very well defined philosophical aspect. The nove online with no prescription el offered
to your attention was written in 1997 and became the real 'cult book' of the
Russian Internet.
Sergey is married, he lives in Mos online with no prescription scow.
THE NOVEL "LABYRINTH OF REFLECTIONS" IS penis big COPYRIGHTED BY SERGEY
LUKJANENKO, ALL RIGHTS ARE RESERVED BY THE AUTHOR. ANY online with no prescription Y COMMERCIAL USE OF THE
NOVEL'S TEXT IS STRICTLY PROHIBITED.
Several notes for the reader:
1). My English sucks. So it was obviously online with no prescription way too presumptuous of me to
try to make a translation like this. It was my love to this book only that
made me to venture into this adventure. online with no prescription . ;-) I was hoping that this novel is
really worth your kind attention (despite my ugly
English?).
2). Some opinions expressed in this online with no prescription book by the main or other
characters, as well as some words/terms used, might be considered offensive
to some Western readers. In fact, one online with no prescription e such situation was even showed closer
to the end of the novel itself. The concept of "PC" (aka 'Political
Correctness') does not really online with no prescription y exist in Russia which fact IMHO makes the life
much easier and slightly reduces the amount of stupidity that inevitably
presents in this life online with no prescription e. Despite that, I definitely had to use the 'softened'
terms in my translation in order not to outrage the people (not too much at
least). But online with no prescription of course, something might have still leaked out. Please
consider yourselves warned.
3). FIDO
Some more confusion can be caused online with no prescription by Lukjanenko's technical details and
descriptions of the Net due to one more fact: he writes from the point of
view of the person who was online with no prescription once the FIDOnet member. Also it seems that
Sergey himself was mostly affiliated with FIDO at the time of this book's
writing. The principle online with no prescription es of FIDO's system organization differ from the ones
of the Internet. I never was FIDO member, so I know very little. In general,
it's free, amateurs' network that allows its members to exchange emails and
files. FIDO uses its own proprietary protocol. Special gateways are used to
exchange emails with the Internet. Look at www.fidonet.org for more
details... But be prepared to get back not the homepage, but some HTML code.
{G} The guys have forgot to put the {HTML} tag into the code of their main
page... OOPS.
4). The names.
The same name in Russian usually can have several forms, reflecting the
attitude of the one who pronounces the name to the one named. The number of
these forms is as far as I can judge, much bigger than in English. That's
why in my translation I preferred to retain the original rules of forming
such names and to provide this note. Another important reason is that the
Russian name Propecia changed according to the rules of doing so in English would
sound ridiculous (maybe for me only, as I'm Russian... ;-) ), not mentioning
that it's not always possible to do this with Russian names at all. Example:
John - Johnny. Now try to do the same with, say, my name: Yuri. Yup... My
point exactly. Below is the example of how the first name of the main
character can be 'bent'. The same often happens to other names in the book.
For inexperienced reader it might be confusing, so I apologize... Russia
*is* confusing by definition, so bear with it. :-)
Leonid - the complete name.
Lenia (should be read roughly as Lyo-nee-aa; don't pronounce 'double
lettered' sounds as too long ones though) - this is slightly diminutive,
friendly form used by relatives and friends.
Lenechka (Lyo-nee-chka) - a "pet-name" form, sometimes also used with
sarcasm, depending on the context.
Lenchik - "pet-name"/unceremonious address.
Len'ka ( here ' means softening of the previous sound, 'n' in this name
sounds like 'n' in the word 'change') - Unceremonious address, a bit
slighting. Often used by close friends without any offensive context.
... and so on. No more forms are used in the book, so I'd better not
confuse you any more.
Another trick is how the names are formed n general. In particular, the
concept of the middle name in Russia. It is not 'given', but rather is the
father's name. To be used as a middle name, special endings are attached:
-ovich, -evich for man's middle name (yeah, they are gender specific!),
-ovna, evna for female's middle name.
Examples: Petrovich Alekseevich - men's
