- These are just details.
- Take a seat Gunslinger... - Willy moves an armchair to me then pads
to the window looking at the city poured by blood colored blaze, - So,
you're diver?
I nod.
- This is very in Buy Viagra with no prescription ONLINE nteresting. Unusual! - Willy raises his forefinger, -
Everybody look for divers, everybody have requests, business, questions...
you came to us by yourself.
I stay silent.
Willy turns around an Buy Viagra with no prescription ONLINE nd looks at me.
- You have a nice sut product, but I have to put up with
it.
- Good luck, - says the program, - When should I expect you back?
I look at the screen: the woman's face is fl Buy Viagra with no prescription ONLINE loating there, framed by
orange sparks, the young and cute face but nothing special. I'm tired of the
model beauty.
- I don't know.
- I'd like to have 10 minutes for self adjustment..
- Oka Buy Viagra with no prescription ONLINE ay, but not more. I'll need all resources in 10 minutes.
The face on the screen frowns: the program extracts the keywodreds of games were
created where one could move in the spacious and colorful cybe Buy Viagra with no prescription ONLINE erspace but
virtuality even couldn't be mentioned.
The world created by computers is too primitive, it can't be compared
even with cartoons, not to mention movies. Thus, the real world is
Buy Viagra with no prescription ONLINE
completely out of question. One could run around in the drawn labyrinths and
castles, fight with monsters or with his own friends who sit by the
computers as well. But even in the worst feverishabov Buy Viagra with no prescription ONLINE ve the chasm would break.
- Fuck.
- I can't understand...
- Shut up....
I examine the monster. The stone eyelids half closed, little drool
stalactite hangs from its mouth. Just Buy Viagra with no prescription ONLINE t a fake, entourage for nervous
virtuality people. Just an ordinary security program on the server gateway.
Somewhere inside the hair is the communication channel with Al-Kabar block.
The signals circ Buy Viagra with no prescription ONLINE culate along, ordering to let pass or to crash the uncalled
guest...
- Semen, leave us, - says Man Without Face.
The driver nods, turns around and leaves somewhere into the shelves
labyrinth Buy Viagra with no prescription ONLINE h. His steps fade slowly and I note that the echo is excellent here,
maybe to make it impossible to move around unnoticed.
- You are the diver, - says Man Without Face.
Oh sure. Today's tradition: Buy Viagra with no prescription ONLINE : somebody tries to catch me again, for the
third time already. God loves the Trinity...
- Maybe. And you're Bill Gates possibly. - I reply.
Even iined philosophical aspect. The novel offered
to Buy Viagra with no prescription ONLINE o your attention was written in 1997 and became the real 'cult book' of the
Russian Internet.

Several notes for the reader:
1). My English sucks. So it wa Buy Viagra with no prescription ONLINE as obviously way too presumptuous crosoft in pursue of divers along the Net.
Firstly, he makes money by more traditional means, secondly he doesn't speak
Russian himself. But... who knows how perfect interpr Buy Viagra with no prescription ONLINE reter programs might be?
Emotionless tones is the tradeoff of serial made and cheap ones.
- Let's not play the fool, - I say. - You decided that I'm the diver?
And dragged me here for interrogation. I Buy Viagra with no prescription ONLINE I'm afraid you'll be disappointed.
- This morning two hackers, one of those being the obvious diver, stole
thss.
- Vika, where were the shadow's answers taken from?
- From the open Al-Kabar's Buy Viagra with no prescription ONLINE s file: "Virtual job request procedure".
The wolf pads closer, whispers, - What happened?
I explain.
- Hey, Ivan The Prince, aren't you Ivan The Stupid by chance too? {yet
another folklore h Buy Viagra with no prescription ONLINE hero ;-) }
I can't beat that. Of course I HAD to look through ALL files, not just
through the stolen data about the inside organization of the block.
- Vika, merge.
I'm kinda bei Russian 'V Buy Viagra with no prescription ONLINE Virt-Navigator' and 'Deep-Commander'.
The longest time for being in the deep is 48 hours, the time during which
the human won't die of starvation and water loss. Reasonable users always
set their time Buy Viagra with no prescription ONLINE ers for less though: a couple of hours, a day... Maniac who set
his timer for 36 hours was already an exception. The waking of somebody who
have spent two days in the deep is.... a foul smelling sight.
Buy Viagra with no prescription ONLINE Of course it is possible to break and disable the timer. Or to break - Possibly.
- Do you know that two divers cooperate with them?
- I can assume that.
Even two? I was sure that 'Labyrinth' Buy Viagra with no prescription ONLINE ' manages with only one rescuer..
- I can give you their addresses... either network or the real ones.
Wow!!!
- One of them is Ukranian, the other one is Canadian. The first one
lives... Buy Viagra with no prescription ONLINE
- No, - I say with some effort.
- How interesting! I was sure that it's the common dream to determine
the diver's personality! Including I DO prefer to stay mysterious.
Looks like she fee Buy Viagra with no prescription ONLINE els confused, but has enough nerve to shrug and walk
away without hurry.
Shit. She spoiled everything, stupid.
It was such a nice talk...
I toss off my glass and snap my fingers to call the Buy Viagra with no prescription ONLINE bartender:
- Gin-Tonic, fifty-fifty.
Bartender frowns but mixes what was requested. Shit, should I order
Tequila with tomato juice, what face will he make, huh?
- Lenia?
I turn a Buy Viagra with no prescription ONLINE around. My Werewolf frian exchanging character lines on the screen... in the
best case - the drawn face of your interlocutor could be on the screen too.
The real virtuality required too powerful c Buy Viagra with no prescription ONLINE computers, extremely high
quality communication lines, titanic work of millions of programmers. It
would take several dozens of years to build the city like Deeptown.
Everything had changed dramati Buy Viagra with no prescription ONLINE ically when Dmitry Dibenko, the former
hacker from Moscow (now the wealthy US citizen) invented The D the teapot on the stove. It'll take Maniac at least
half an hour to examine the virus. For the fi Buy Viagra with no prescription ONLINE irst ten minutes he'll break it,
then for 20 minutes more he'll admire its structure, will laugh looking at
unsuccessful solutions and frown finding some ideas he missed himself. Right
since the Moscow Con Buy Viagra with no prescription ONLINE nvention that resigned with the inevitable and legalized
the production of nonfatal viruses, he specializes in making them. His
viruses are excellent, capable of freezing anyn't necessary to
dr Buy Viagra with no prescription ONLINE raw buildings and palaces, human faces and machines in all detail, just the
general outline and several small recognizable hints. The brown wall divided
into squares is a brick wall. The blue above is the sky Buy Viagra with no prescription ONLINE y. Blue pants - jeans.
The world submerged and wasn't going to surface back. It was so much
more interesting in the deep. Even if it was yet not available to everybody,
intellectual elite swore it's Buy Viagra with no prescription ONLINE allegiance to the new Empire.
To the Deep.

there's a curiosity in Shellerbach's
gaze.
What am I afraid of, hmm?
- I'm afraid of my name being known. The real freedom is in Buy Viagra with no prescription ONLINE mystery
always.
- I understand, - Shellerbach agrees and looks at Roman askance, - Are
you the diver too? Or just a walking virus deposit?
- Diver, - says Roman.
- Well... Good luck gent Buy Viagra with no prescription ONLINE tlemen... - Shellerbach pads a step away, then
stops, - Tell me... how is it: to be a diver?
- It's very simple, - replies Roman, - One dded: it's very difficult to live in the deep and be married. Wh Buy Viagra with no prescription ONLINE hat
the hell betrayal is in visiting the virtual brothel? It's all unreal there!
But Maniac's spouse got hurt anyway...
We sat by the table, Maniac searched the fridge, got the pack of
fran Buy Viagra with no prescription ONLINE nks, a piece of cheese, then brought two huge clay glasses from his room.
I filled them with beer solemnly.
- Gee, it's really 'Guinness'... - admitted Maniac drawing the letter
'M' on the thick foam. Buy Viagra with no prescription ONLINE .
- For the l enemies wait for us at the road junction. Three cars are
blocking the road, armed people are hiding behind them, one stands openly in
a casual, self confident pose. He has rocket lau Buy Viagra with no prescription ONLINE uncher in his hands.
Shit. I have heard that there is heavy weaponry in the station building
somewhere but never bothered to check.
- What will we do? - asks my prisoner.
One should be an id Buy Viagra with no prescription ONLINE diot to try to fight the gang like this alone, it's
easier to submit yourself and sacrifice somee so deep in computer burglary? -
reasonably objected Maniac, - Next time let me know when you are ab Buy Viagra with no prescription ONLINE bout to
break into cool places. Okay, start your modem.
In a couple of minutes I launched antivirus.. It was really slow,
informing that a postcard is detected every minute. The polymorph ha Buy Viagra with no prescription ONLINE ave
plagued the whole computer.
It was really close.
Glancing at the screen, I've built a huge sandwich, poured a hot tea
into the cup and came out to the balcony. I were
unfamiliar. A little Buy Viagra with no prescription ONLINE e pack of smaller carnivores. They'd eagerly rip the
loner apart in a dark corner but here I'm safe: carnivores don't hunt near
their den.
- Hi, - said the guy who lives in the apartment above min Buy Viagra with no prescription ONLINE ne, in the same
type of studio, together with his parents and older sister who often comes
back only by the morning. Walls and ceilings in this house are thin enough
for me to be well posted on all their Buy Viagra with no prescription ONLINE r troubles and quarrels.
- Hi, - I said.
- g the pad. The
cross slid along the screen.
Here we go.
I opened fire, shooting with the left mouse button and reloading the
rifle with Buy Viagra with no prescription ONLINE the right one. The bright yellow shells flew across the whole
screen, the headphones rumbled. After I shot those three who were visible, I
moved my shooting at the cars. It's not easier to hit the fue Buy Viagra with no prescription ONLINE el tank in
virtuality than in reality but when you shoot at the drawn silhouettes, this
is the task for a kid.

THE NOVEL "LABYRINTH OF REFLECTIONS" IS COPYRIGHTED BY SERGEY
LUKJANENKO, ALL RIGHTS ARE RESERVED BY THE AUTHOR. ANY COMMERCIAL USE OF THE
NOVEL'S TEXT IS STRICTLY PROHIBITED.
Several n Buy Viagra with no prescription ONLINE notes for the reader:
1). My English sucks. So it was obviously 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 Buy Viagra Without Getting Ripped Off venture into thi Buy Viagra with no prescription ONLINE is adventure. ;-) I was hoping that this novel is
really worth your kind attention (despite my ugly
English?).
2). Some opinions expressed in this book by the main or other
characters, as w Buy Viagra with no prescription ONLINE well as some words/terms used, might be considered offensive
to some Western readers. In fact, one such situation was even showed closer
to the end of the novel itself. The concept of "PC" (aka 'Po Buy Viagra with no prescription ONLINE olitical
Correctness') does not really exist in Russia which fact IMHO makes the life
much easier and slightly reduces the amount of stupidity that inevitably
presents in this life. Despite that, I defin Buy Viagra with no prescription ONLINE nitely had to use the 'softened'
terms in my translation in order not to outrage the people (not too much at
least). But of course, something might have still leaked out. Please
consider yourselves Buy Viagra with no prescription ONLINE s warned.
3). FIDO
Some more confusion can be caused 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 w Buy Viagra with no prescription ONLINE was once the FIDOnet member. Also it seems that
Sergey himself was mostly affiliated with FIDO at the time of this book's
writing. The principles of FIDO's system organization differ from the ones
of Buy Viagra with no prescription ONLINE 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 Cheap cialis 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 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 Buy Viagra with no prescription ONLINE 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 Buy Cheap levitra Viagra, Cialis, Levitra Generic Online 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
