"Ordo Draconis - (K) Kopyleft 2016." "All Rites Reversed..." "VISITORS" "Following the dance party, Academician Filip realizes that the leadership of the Expedition might just have slipped from his hand." "The Visitors are quite indifferent to the loss of their money." "Katya takes a carefree walk with a guy, paying absolutely no attention to what's going on around her in the meantime." "None of them seem to care about the Academician's distress call." "Karas, the technician, instead of busying himself making contact with the future, just keeps entertaining himself at Mr. Dürchlich's house." "While Dr. Noll, who was brought to the town hospital by mistake, truly enjoys the Internal Medicine staff's fright at seeing his perfect health." "The only person who understands that Kamenice cannot offer him anything more is Eda, the carousel guy." "But everything seems in vain." "He just can't escape the strange land surveyors." "He's terrified of being identified as the perpetrator of the break-in, and at the same time, it also becomes clear to him that these folks, who tend to use the windows as doors, are no land surveyors, but rather reckless and unstoppable adventurers." "Thanks to the dumpster-diving Mr. Dürchlich, the so-called land surveyors find their presumed-lost disintegrator briefcase." "Right after that, they manage to prevent their photo appearing in the local paper." "But for once, luck seems to desert them in the end." "Their unexpected meeting with the hotel manager turns almost tragic." "They are forced to settle their bill from the previous night, and this leaves them absolutely without cash." "11." "WILL DO IT TOMORROW" "Karas." "It would be great if we didn't have any power malfunctions this time." "Like having every lamp in town turned on at 00:58." "Nothing like that will happen." "I've checked everything." "You can rest assured." "From a technical point of view, it's all fine." " Ah, good day to you, nurses!" " Good day!" "Good day!" "This will be good." "Thank you." "What kind of goodies did you bring?" " Lots of things." " But not for you." "Since you're on a diet." "What's the problem this time?" "You're just like a child." "I'm sorry." "I think this is what they call yoghurt." "Home!" "You mustn't!" "Stop talking, honey-bear!" "I can imagine how much it hurts." "They totally messed you up, I say!" "She's a stupid chick, not a doctor!" "But don't worry, I'm here with you now." "You're happy I came, right?" "Me?" "Why?" "The gatekeeper didn't even notice me." "So, I'll come in every day from now on." "Actually I even know the one who works in the mornings." "Look!" "I brought you some homemade stuff to keep you well fed!" "But don't you eat it all at once!" "And of course some vitamins." " I'll be back tomorrow." "Rest assured!" " Don't!" " Kisses and be good!" " Don't!" "Don't!" "X-ray of the lungs." "Skull." "Abdomen." "Blood samples, urine test." "EEG, everything is negative." "Think about it." "Maybe when you were a child." "Measles, meningitis." " Or maybe your parents had something." " My father had occasional euphoria." "Oh, euphoria isn't an illness!" "It isn't?" "Wait!" "Roughly a week ago, I was infected with influenza." "It took me almost ten minutes to heal myself." "From the influenza?" "In ten minutes?" "Tell me, are you sure you haven't received the Nobel prize yet?" "I was only interested in its symptoms." "The fever, the nasal discharge..." "Go, please." "Before the head doctor gets back." "I'll be on my way as well, soon." "Surely you understand that I really don't appreciate your jokes after yesterday." "I've become the laughing stock of the entire department." "43 degree fever." "Bluish smoke." "Olga!" "We aren't friends, you know." " You can't just call me Olga." " But, Olga!" "But I..." "Olga!" "It's mine!" "Come on, this way." "Couldn't you find a better fishing lake?" "Head doctor!" "Head doctor!" "Head doctor!" "I repeat." "The parameters: 1, 30, 6, 2." "Checkpoint: the tower of the city hall." "According to the Kamenice map, on 3 D." "State of Emergency!" "We'll expect the money tomorrow." "At this very same spot." "Terrain: water surface." "Everything's going according to plan." "We made contact with the genius and the Great Teacher." "Expedition Adam 84 carries on with its mission." "First I was afraid that something was burning." "Give me another thermometer." " I don't know if..." " Surely there must be another thermometer in the department!" "Make a note." "Temperature: 43.2." "It was you who reminded me that even Asclepius himself had discovered that..." "The old man was wrong." "The patient is alive." "What's more, it seems as if he's gradually getting better." " What's wrong?" " Your hand is emitting smoke!" "Karas!" "I'll never forget that you did this." "And tomorrow at 00:58, we have to come back here again!" "Just because of this ridiculous money!" "Technically safe!" "This is direct interference with history!" "Boiling away the fishing lake!" "And you didn't just boil it away, you literally made it disappear!" "My trousers are ruined, and I have no money to buy new ones!" "The problem was that it generated heat at its bottom." "Even though I designed it to give out the heat on the top." "Ouch!" "Just wait until we return to our present!" "Do you really believe we will actually return?" "You boiled away the lake!" "And you didn't just boil it away, you literally made it disappear!" "My trousers are ruined, and I have no money to buy new ones!" "Don't worry." "We're going to have nice weather today." "14 degrees at dawn, 28-30 degrees during the day, with lots of sunshine." "The agricultural workers are on strike in France." "A big earthquake in Japan." "Just ignore it." "We aren't in Japan." "Give me the local events." "Upcoming events in Kamenice." "Two childbirths are expected today." "One girl and one boy." "27 citizens participate in the collection of hay, all of them as civil volunteers." "Josef Glouchek celebrates his 90th birthday." "Congratulations." " One wedding..." " You can skip that one too." " Anything else?" " One traffic accident." "At 14:20." "There, a bit beyond the corner." "A personal car collides with a truck from the beer factory." "No personal injuries though." "The financial damage is 20,000 Crowns." "This is insane!" "Always about the money, and nothing else!" "Financial damage!" "Price and value!" "My eyes are so heavy." "I'm sure that tonight I won't even feel how uncomfortable their bed is." "I still can't understand why you were picked by the Central Computer." "The hope of the endangered human race." "The best of the best." "Look into the mirror, and humble yourself." "Talking about teamwork, one of them throws the others into a mud pool, while the other takes it easy somewhere in hospital." "And you walk around barefoot." " My sandal was ripped apart." " You'll just buy another one." "Tomorrow, of course." "The money is due to arrive at 00:58." "Therefore we must just battle through today somehow." "We have no other option." " With Nasper jelly?" " We'll change the flavour." "But we'll keep the nutritional value at the same level, of course." "And now, off to bed with us." "According to the school timetable, Adam will be in school from 8am till 1pm." "In the meantime, we can have time off." " What's wrong, pal?" " This!" " Get off me!" " Now you're gonna get it!" "You'll regret this!" " Adam!" " I'll teach you a lesson!" "There!" "Come on." "I got a great surprise for you." " What?" " Leave me alone!" " I'll report all this!" "Just you try!" "You're not going to believe your eyes when you see this." "Come on!" "Mr. Dürchlich!" "How did you do this?" "Me?" "They're all carp!" "And so many of them!" "It's so cool!" "Come here!" "Look!" "It has a decent weight!" "It could be something like 5 kg, maybe." "Well!" "This carpet could use a bit of cleaning." "They left all this mud on the stairs." " Land surveyors!" "God knows, maybe they went up the canals!" " Unbelievable!" "I'll talk to them about this!" "Well, how dare they?" "It's as if they'd done it on purpose!" "And they haven't even paid for their accommodation yet!" "They've money coming out of their ears!" "They'll pay for the cleaning this time!" "Come quickly!" "Little Emil just had a car crash!" "I saw everything." "It was the truckdriver's fault!" "By a hairsbreadth!" "08:20, a truck and a personal car." "Just go back to sleep." "What do you think?" "Would they accept the bicycle or the fur coat as payment?" "Here it is." "The price of the room is 96 per day, heating and cleaning included." "Multiplied by 7, since it's been 7 days already, and this multiplied by 3 because there are three of us, me, you and the doctor." "Katya!" "Are you asleep?" "What does it say there?" "What do you mean what does it say?" " Is it after 2000 yet?" " No, that hasn't happened yet." "Too bad." "I dreamed I was going home." "Just go back to sleep." "But before that, wake up and check the door." "I was having such a wonderful dream!" "I met Adam on my way back home, and he gave me the notebook, with the formula about the shifting of the continents in it." " 56." " 56?" "What?" "The price of the room." "And then we saved the human race." "Extra beds are 20 per day." "What extra beds?" "That part is crossed out here." "I don't have that here." "Extra beds are 20 Crowns per day." "Come and have a look, if you don't believe me." "I'm so sorry but I just made a ridiculous mistake." "The pictures didn't work out." "I must have messed it up." "So, ours is 96, and yours is 56." "Plus another 20 if they charge us for the extra bed as well." "So, I must visit you on site again to do it again." "But I would like to ask you to talk to the old one, I mean with your colleague, not to get upset about it." "All right?" " Good day." " Good day." "You are so wonderfully beautiful now, right after waking up." " Who are you talking to, Katerzina?" " Is it the radio?" " Is Hope there?" "Is Hope there?" " It's the radio." "I'll be down at 1." "But I don't have time to talk now." "So, there we are." "Did you hear?" "She has no time to talk now." "All right, all right." "Just sleep." "Doctor!" "Are you asleep?" "We're completely finished!" "Can you hear me?" "Do you think it's possible to sleep around here?" "They either keep mopping the floor, or cleaning the windows..." "We have no money to pay our bill." "That's your problem." "I don't have a single penny." "But you can visit me today." "And you don't even have to climb up the scaffold, because there's a visiting time." "From two till four." "Room number 7." "Oh!" "It'll die in the washbasin!" " It was full of laundry water a minute ago." " Where should I put it then?" "There's a barrel under the eaves for rainwater." "There's nothing better than carp your didn't have to pay for." "Especially at Christmastime!" "I heard everything, Mr. Dürchlich." "There's no point denying it." "Adam, you were a co-perpetrator!" "We'll go down to the station now, and put all this on the record." "Mr. Engineer!" "You won't escape from us this time!" "We'll pay you in the evening." "But now we're in a hurry." "That's not why I stopped you, but because of our cute little bride!" "Congratulate her!" "You didn't come down for breakfast." "So, I thought, it's even better, 'cos now at least you can have a lot more for lunch!" "You can take it!" "Our chef made such a divine roasted duck, that it could speak at least seven languages!" "And then Petr is waiting for you too." "A picture for Kamenice Today!" " Hi." "I forgot to greet you." " Karas!" "Where did you disappear again?" "Karas!" "Stop eating!" "We must leave for the site!" "It looks like we're going to have another wedding soon!" "Katya!" "We're leaving!" "It's better than I expected." "The land surveyors on departure." "Absolutely natural." "Stay like that for a moment." "I've got some big news, by the way." "Mr. Dürchlich and Adam Bernau were taken to the police station, because they drained the fishing lake." "Room number 7, to the right." "You must destroy the picture." "That's easy to say." "You were standing by the door." "Why didn't you push the button?" "And why did you boil the lake?" "Can you tell me?" "You're altering history." "The genius of the 20th century is in jail." "We are in the newspaper!" "Let me pass!" "Don't ask anything." "Just get dressed quickly." " You're coming with us." " You have the bag with you?" " What did you bring here with you?" " The solarizator." " What?" "I put it up there, and I used it too." "Don't!" "Don't!" "You could even dance by now." "And I'll just quietly disappear." "That's exactly I'm hoping for." "Karas!" "It's a lot better..." "I'm moving it, and it doesn't hurt anymore." "They're coming!" "Quickly!" "Through the window!" "We'll be waiting for you in the car." "Are you leaving already?" "Yes, we are." "And how is the Engineer?" "The engineer?" "Exceptional." "Kisses!" "I'm here!" "Did they come empty-handed?" "Oh, my poor thing!" "We just had a wedding, I saved all this for you." "It's very tasty." "And still warm." "And after that a bit of sponge cake with soda, and compote." "Lots of easy food, so that no harm would come to the belly of my honey-bear." "But he's not your honey-bear!" "He's our daddy!" "He can't be your daddy!" "He said he has no wife." " Ah, Mr. Engineer!" " No!" "No!" "She doesn't know what she's talking about!" "I didn't say..." " Daddy!" " He promised to fly with me to the stars!" "But there's always some stupid chick who falls for him, at every fair." "Get away from here!" "Sponge cake with soda?" "To hell with it!" "This scoundrel is your father, can you see him?" "You asked for some compote?" "When you weren't satisfied with mine?" " With all the fruit getting shrivelled?" " Ahh, my elbow!" "Ow!" "Rudi!" "Stop biting the lady!" " But you aren't him!" " There, do you see now?" "She must have confused me with somebody." "You can stand on your feet now?" "Eda!" "You dirty bastard!" "It must've been around 7 am." "I made some coffee, and some toast, the fried eggs were on, as always." "I'm not interested in what you had for breakfast!" "Tell me the facts concerning the fish!" " I'll talk about that too, as soon as I'm done." " Sit down, will you!" "Walking up and down around here!" "When I saw that those poor things were suffocating in the swamp," "I said, word for word, I swear, such precious creatures..." " must be saved for the community." " That's exactly how it was!" "By putting them in buckets?" "As many as possible." "But before that, you and Adam opened up the flood gate, just to make sure you'd have something to save." "No." "I was on my way to school." "Of course, but you never made it." "We'll talk about that too, by the way." "Isn't your house burning down enough?" "Or are you adding more to your list?" "Listen!" "We know everything, you understand?" "For example, two weeks ago the fishermen caught you by the lake as well!" "Or do you deny that as well?" "No." "We admit to having done that." "But they let us go, because we didn't catch anything." "And why not?" "Because they took your rods away." "And to get revenge, the two of you drilled holes in their boats," " and now you opened the flood gate too!" " But this, we do not acknowledge." "We do not acknowledge this." "Just as I told you already," " I had breakfast, then during my usual morning walk..." " Stop there a second!" "Just think about it!" "Where is your house and where is the fishing lake?" "So, where is the fishing lake?" " At Beisovice." "That's why it's called the Beisovice Lake." " Quite right." "So can we forget about this so-called usual morning walk?" "It's possible I might have been wrong." "And what else were you wrong about?" "I insist on the breakfast though." "The news was on the radio." "And then, as usual, I went for a bicycle ride." "Let's hope that this will take root." "At least in our heads." "Once, in my childhood, I planted a sunflower seed." "It got the rainwater, just as it was supposed to." "But I must've made a mistake somewhere." "Because it never came out." "And so, even the seed was wasted." "But we mustn't fail now." "Are you sure about your calculations?" "We must save some energy for the time-travel as well." "Back to 2484." "Don't worry." "The fuse keeps back the necessary amount." "We can't access it." "The only risk we're taking now is that we could deplete our reserves." "Up to the critical level." "What does that mean?" "That we'll have to save the rest." "We can't make contact with the future without a good reason." "Let's hope that today's contact will be the last such occasion." "And our reason is quite pressing this time." "There's no need to agree with me." "You're absolutely blameless in this." "All the responsibility lies on us." "Although, under such peculiar circumstances, it wouldn't hurt if we all agreed." " I agree." " Thanks." "I knew it would happen like this." "By the way, it was all my fault." "At least mostly." "There, we have to take a left turn." "The money is due to arrive here tonight." " At what time?" " At 00:58." "We'll equip ourselves with everything we need." "I mean, with everything we really need." "And what if it doesn't arrive?" "He still denies that he opened the flood gate, and drained the water from the fishing lake." "As does the abovementioned minor." "Come in!" " Dad!" " What do you want?" " My school work." " Can't you ask your mother to sign it?" " It's you they brought here?" " Mm-hm." "Ali sent you this bubble gum." "She says you should confess, if it really was you." "I have nothing to confess." "I didn't do anything." "I just didn't want to let the fish die." "You should only speak when you're asked to!" "Your school work!" "Go!" " Where were we?" " "As does the abovementioned minor"." "And then, full stop." "So, the lake got drained all by itself?" " I seriously doubt that." " Me too." "Oh, I've really had enough of you." "The record." "Sign it." "But only after you've read it carefully." "Dürchlich..." "A, Dr, WHOH... ?" "Are you a doctor or what do you mean by this?" "Dr..." "WHOH... ?" "My second name is Drahoslav." "WHOH..." "With His Own Hands." "Everything all right?" "Doctor, report!" "Everything's fine." "Same here." "Attention!" "Unknown vehicle approaching." "Heading towards the dam." "Stop the operation!" "This is bloody serious." "Do you understand?" "When 3 years ago you drained the fishing lake at Potha, just because you had an argument with the landlord of the local pub," "I said, OK, it's not my district." "But this lake belongs to me, and whatever happens to it..." "Nobody's touched this for years." "It seems like it's totally rusted." "But I saw it myself!" "And of course they just happen to do their surveys right here now." "Isn't that suspicious?" "So what are we to do now?" "As an animal lover myself, I'm willing to return the previously saved fishes." "So?" "Have you brought them all back?" "Nothing's left in the house then?" "Not a single one." "And they didn't even thank us." "Come on, Adam!" "Good deeds are only rewarded in fairy tales." "Because there, if you let the golden fish back into the water you get three wishes granted." "What more do you want, really?" "We just threw away the records." " Doesn't that count for anything?" " The records..." "Instead of filling the hole in the fishing lake." "Good day!" "Good day!" "We just caught a 5 kg carp." "Will you join us for lunch?" "End of Part 11."
