Аннотация
История рассказывает о двух подругах, Даше и Диане, которые встретились еще being teenagers and became close friends. They have been through many adventures together, always supporting and protecting each other. As the story progresses, we see that Earth has developed new technologies and started trading with alien civilizations. Dasha suggests to Diana to go on an adventurous journey together to a planet where unusual experiences await them.
Despite news of carnivorous attacks by aliens on other civilizations causing fear and concern in Diana, she decides to embark on this new adventure with Dasha. The story highlights the bond of friendship between the two women, their readiness to face challenges and dangers together. They show courage and determination in the face of unknown and dangerous situations, relying on their trust in each other to overcome difficulties and enjoy the adventures ahead.
The narrative shifts to their workplace, where Dasha gets involved with an online man who turns out to be her friend's boss, the author of the excerpt. The friend tries to warn Dasha about the potential consequences of interacting with the boss, but Dasha ends up sending a compromising image to his wife, unaware that it would fall into his hands. When the boss discovers the truth, both friends find themselves in a difficult situation. A conflict arises which could have serious consequences for both women.
Another part of the story focuses on Diana meeting a man at a party who flatters her appearance, offering her a job in his company that deals with aliens. Diana agrees reluctantly, and hides his business card in her cleavage. They flirt and dance together, but their idyllic moment is interrupted by Diana's friend who insists on leaving, concerned for Diana's safety. Although she leaves feeling a bit disappointed, Diana is excited about her new job.
In a different scene, the heroes undergo a mysterious vaccination process from an alien healer. They experience strange symptoms but decide to help the healer as a token of gratitude for the treatment received. The healer claims they are now blood brothers and offers help in case they face problems due to the vaccine. However, his cryptic statement about either helping them to the end or "freeing the mind from the infected body" leaves the heroes confused about their future.
The story takes a dramatic turn when one of the heroines finds herself trapped in a small space capsule, separated from the alien spaceship. As she faces the prospect of suffocation, she is rescued in the nick of time by Eltar, expressing relief and gratitude upon waking up. This event sets the stage for further developments on the spaceship.
Lastly, three aliens, Irrian, Seyatrick, and Eltar, discuss their next steps regarding the Earth women who unexpectedly appeared on their spaceship. After observing the women's behavior and appearance, they decide to take responsibility for them by making them candidates to be named, thus placing them under their care. Eltar takes charge of Diana, while Seyatrick assumes responsibility for the other woman, Dasha. They agree to inform the Council about the women's presence on the spaceship and the need to monitor any physiological changes. The excerpt ends with Irrian promising to inform the Council about the reasons for the women's presence on the ship.
