of my commrad Hi Hat.
It was getting harder to breath with every second, a bit by bit a tic on the right side of the face was starting to drive him mad. On a depth like this the chill first takes over your brain, then makes your body shiver, by the end it strangles your mind with a sticky fear of complete loneliness in endless underwater gloom.
The spare cylinder of air-nitrogen mixture indicator lit red clearly and calmly. The countdown of the last minutes until insufferable agony began. You should try breath smoothly, even with your ribs broken... with your teeth clenched and holding with your twisted left arm the only sample taken - the essence of the operation.
- Damn! - The anger to emptiness slipped from his tongue, but reflected from emptiness, came back to his body with evil echo. He did not feel like dying. At all. Not just here and now. In principle ...
The built in beacon, in his protosuit activated automatically on a cloud of silicon atoms that were quantum entangled, as soon as he was fastened to his sit and thrown away from disintegrating rover into liquid atmosphere of this ugly planet.
There was an explosion. The blast wave and thousands of sharp fragments covered him and then smashed him into one of the unclear structures, over which they stopped to make field researches.
They were not prepared to what happened. It happened so sudden and ended so soon.
He stayed alone in this long, filled with strange life canyon... among unclear what and unknown who, faraway from those who could have helped him.
The information channels with the base was lost right after electromagnetic pulse or something very similar to it. All the electronics except the beacon was destroyed, and batteries were running low... All those who were overboard - Rone, Ellise and Pit died of suffocation right in front of his eyes. Communicator no longer transmitted this horrible wheezing sound of trio, but in his head their silent scream still sounded, he imagined how it all happened...
Shock kept him from totally loosing his mind, like it happened to someone else not him, not now...
Probably he stayed alive because he stayed in rover during attack, if it was an attack. The Rover's energy field was connected to external circuit, this kept the suit's atomic batteries from irreversible processes. The can named Casper took the main strike on its protection...
- Christ, wish I could hold enough... - it was impossible to wipe out the sweat flowing the eyes, and a slight shake of the head just made eyes burn more.
The charge may last couple hours more, but a simple calculation told that the current will probably bring a single lonely body to a base.
- Where are you... - the voice was filled with despair.
Through the dim plastic mask covered with perspiration because of equipment failure, the shaking cone of light from a diode lamp, covered the parts of unreal angular shapes and parts of bottom spangled with fragments of the recent tragedy.
On a terahertz lidar he saw some blinking forms all over the perimeter, it seemed they were getting closer. Panic and fear were tightly settled inside, but the will to live grew every second.
The head filled up with thoughts that he should hold on, should keep on moving, soon the troopers will break in the landing sight, and then it will be clear who and how...
The circles appeared in the eyes, the lungs began to explode from the efforts to get just a bit of air, the mist enveloped the consciousness, convulsions took over the body ...
The images of his past, present and probable future appeared in his head with mad acceleration, they swinged his mind like on a seesaw. The silent picture, silent scream, everything filled with chaos transforming into absolute darkness, which he could not break away, searching for an elusive hope...
