Prolog
In the process of gathering information for this book, I used classified material, as usual. Secret in fact. That is, you understand, secret materials are, to a certain extent, classified. In the world of the Internet, it's hard enough to call something as such.
In addition, I would like to clarify (since I write in the science fiction genre) some attitudes : people want to read something plausible, that is, fiction backed by a solid scientific basis; in other words, they don't want those two words in that combination to be disco
ected. Accordingly, they do not want the book to be mere fantasy, nor do they want it to be a boring scientific read. I hope you get my point, though I will still clarify: if the narrative is boring science, then no one will read it as fiction . So, once again: if the narration is purely scientific, then fans of fiction will not be interested in it, and if the text is just fiction, then it will not be appreciated by fans of science fiction. And depts of this science fiction want to see a fictional world, which, by the way, all literary writers draw, but with scientific validity, but only squeeze of facts will not read t. This is the difficulty: where to find that line that separates fiction, just fiction (from fairy tales to fantasy, all the way to love lyrics), and science-based narrative about what we imagine?So, in the process of collecting information for the book I used materials provided to me by the committee of foreign intelligence and security service of a secret enterprise, which is hidden for the outside world behind a rather working, but however causing certain associations name JSC "ZASLON". However, you understand, I have to use Aesopian language, write not all components of technology under the "top secret", that is to reveal the topic a little veiled. It didn't start with an ordinary case at the mentioned enterprise, but the secret data I came across surprised me even more…
Yes, I am here, according to the rules of good ma
ers, I must introduce myself: Rutra Paschow, head of the secret research bureau "Artificial Intelligence Technology Control Center". The essence of my narration, perhaps, will become clear to you at the end of , now I will bring to your attention its reason: I as a specialist was entrusted to conduct a covert investigation of one very significant and suspicious in sense of naturalness case, namely … T ut I will keep silent for now, because even after apo feosis of the whole scenario of this "show". I'm not sure of the categories of the incident. Let's take the following as a basis for now: a case and an incident (I will designate an incident by these two synonyms) with scientific employee of the secret laboratory of ZASLON JSC. The specificity of this case was quite intricate: three lines of investigation were simultaneously conducted: internal – by the security service of the enterprise, external – by the security service of the state, and also assigned to me. And the enterprise did not know about the investigation that was conducted by the service that hired me. The one I conducted was initiated by the State Security Service, and I acted under the mandate of the Investigative Committee. Everything was organized in an extremely decent entourage : I was provided not only with the documents of an investigator, but also could hold a reception in the office of the corresponding service as a real representative of the committee, though under an assumed name. At the enterprise, including e e security service, my mission was presented as expert, to certify the official version, voiced by the same enterprise security service and, accordingly, by the local medical institution. In the process of familiarizing yourself with the investigation materials that I decided to disclose, you will understand the complexity and danger of the described event. Of course, the question is legitimate: why me and why such a scheme? The answer is banally simple … However.I will begin, however, with an introduction to the explanatory component, being the outer limits of the spiral of the central core of the incident.
