"Ordo Draconis - (K) Kopyleft 2016." "All Rites Reversed..." "VISITORS" "Karas, technician of Expedition Adam 84, is entrusted with an important task." "He is to move the visual information transmitter, Eye No. 3, inside the Bernau family's room, from the hotel's manager's shoe." "Joining the schooltrip to the Castle of Krutzenberg, the Academician manages to befriend the genius to such a degree that in the end, they are forced to spend a couple of hours together in the old prison cell." "The second operation of Expedition Adam 84 proceeds according to plan." "In an unguarded moment, Karas recovers Eye No. 3, and then hurriedly tries to leave the scene." "Filip on the other hand is not so lucky." "Instead of a mathematical formula about the shifting of the continents he can only lay his hands on the layout of the castle tower." "Thanks to the cunning Karas, Eye No. 3 is placed on the TV antenna by the very hands of the unsuspecting Mr. Bernau." "Dr. Noll is not fond of all the spying, and he even refuses to participate in the evening party, where they would be served foods and drinks totally unknown to him." "9." "VISITORS IN THE LIMELIGHT" "As the Expedition's doctor, who is responsible for the health of the Expedition's participants, including his own as well..." "Now I understand your reasons!" "You are afraid!" "No." "I simply just don't want to bear the consequences of your decision, according to which we are to consume unknown meals and drinks." "The reason is simple." "Listen, I'll read it out." ""Above all, consumption of unexamined meats is to be avoided at all costs, because the human body could be infected by animal sicknesses through them, such as tuberculosis, rabies," "and lots of other parasitic worms residing in cows, pigs or fish..."" "I suggest you use antibotulin as prevention." " And the anticarcinogenid." " One of each?" "Rather two." "And the dark one only before drinks." "Don't forget that alcohol is the greatest danger." "Although pure water can be harmful as well, if it is stale." "It could spread typhoid and dysentery for example." "As we know, typhoid was still around in the 20th century." "So, perhaps it would be best if only one of us went down." "Representing all four of us, of course." "That's right." "I'll be the one." "While we, for variety's sake, are going to have some nasper." "I'm tired of nasper." "I get sick just thinking of it!" "I'll be strong!" "For the sake of the future." "You sound so brave!" "I understand the doctor." "These worms are very disgusting." "And the things they could do are even more disgusting!" "We could still have some fun up here." "We could eat, drink a bit, and watch TV." " Ten glasses of red wine." " I got it." "Don't attract any attention." "Just observe what they do, and act accordingly to fit in." "And what do you say to this, gentlemen?" "What?" "Well, look at this one!" "It's mine!" "Just like this one!" "Damn!" "Well then!" "To your health!" "Are you drinking?" "The Great Teacher is drinking too." "Out of the question." "Behave yourself!" "This is our battle." "Wishing you a good evening!" "So, one, two and three... three times twenty equals sixty." "Because tonight we have two bands, you know." "Here you are." " Money!" " Pay!" "Gentlemen, wouldn't you have anything smaller?" "I just had to split a 500 note." " I absolutely ran out." " Just a moment, wait!" " They're guests of the hotel." "Refund him" " All right!" "This way, Mr. Engineer." "I reserved the best table for you." "They're our victims of the recent fire." "You already know each other." "There." "The Bernaus." "Oops!" "This is Engineer Filip, a geologist." "Comrade Karas." "Miss Katya." "I'm sure this doesn't seem such a big thing in your eyes, but I must mention it." "We've invited two bands for tonight." "Excuse me!" "This way, please!" "Yes!" "Excuse me!" "This way!" "Thank you!" "Hey, gentlemen!" "Amazing, isn't it?" "What do you think?" "Just like on TV!" "You know, on Teeny Club!" "They're the Kamenice Brontosauri!" "Won't that handsome Engineer join us tonight?" "A pity!" "The girls were expecting to dance with him." "Will you jump in for a round?" "OK, if you don't want that, I'll sing you something instead." "That's not bad either." "A bit later, when the miss has already had something to eat." "I ordered the Chef's Special for her." "Actually, she goes for an interview and the soul." "And not a goulash!" "Highway to Nice, communication, exhalation, interpellation," "Crisis, gravitation, exploding population." "A thousand themes, parallel lines Meeting at infinity." "The kid is a bit crazy." " Do you know him?" " He is a nice boy." "He was the first guy ever who gave me flowers." "Forgive me, my dear!" "But we just made a bet about your dress." "Surely it's a French model, isn't it?" "No." "It's ours." "Of course it is!" "Raffle tickets, dear guests!" " Dad!" "Let's buy some!" " Please, draw a number!" "Every even number wins." "How many?" " Dad!" "Please!" " All right, I don't mind." "Buy some." " Five Crowns each, Sir!" "Every even number wins." "How many would you like?" " One." "At least two!" "You can draw from the other plate too." "Jana, bring it to the gentleman." "How many would you like?" "For all of this?" "Take some please." "Or me, perhaps?" "One." "Two, three, four." "Good luck!" "Gentlemen!" "How is it possible?" "Are you still not having dinner?" "Excuse me, at once!" " What are these?" " You can see." "Pieces of paper." "Sit down." "And stop walking around." "You attract public attention." "That's nothing!" "They just brought some meat-jelly right behind me." "And they poured something on it from a bottle." "And then put some pepper on it as well!" "Where were you?" "Where the other band is playing." " Miss!" " What do you want?" "Can't you see I'm busy?" "Wait!" "Vorel's doing it as well!" "I just couldn't tell him whether it'd be only one hour, or an entire afternoon." "Adam!" "What are you blabbing about?" "What afternoon?" "And business do you have with Vorel?" "Nothing." "We would just write down some formulas for 5 Crowns." "For 5 Crowns?" "He decided on the amount." "And I accepted it." "We were talking with Adam, and I could see he's interested in maths and technology." "Adam?" "This kid is only interested in being nasty!" "What kind of stupid things did you write about yet again?" "Just hand it to the Engineer, will you!" "You haven't even learned about sines and cosines yet!" "Not in school we didn't." "But I know them from the Fools of the Hepterids." " From the scene beyond space." " Those useless books are corrupting you!" "I can imagine how hungry you must be!" "I know how it is when you can only eat once a day." "My husband's younger brother works on the fields as well." "Bacon, salami, bacon, wursts." "The poor thing eats nothing else." "And when he finally makes it to a restaurant, he eats himself to death!" "One time when the waiter asked him what he would like, he said bring... bring five barbecues and three portions of fries!" "Am I right, dear?" "We also would like to order three portions." "But I think, not this aforementioned meat jelly." "Instead of that, perhaps..." "Ham rolls with horseradish sauce." "I'm glad that you finally have some appetite!" "But I wouldn't recommend the ham rolls." "They didn't seem particularly fresh." "Homemade smoked ham with mustard." "Perhaps it's easier if I give it to you." "Record it, please." "Perhaps we won't be able to take it with us." "I don't understand why you had to turn it over." "Tripe soup in a cauldron, Potato soup with sour cream..." "No Tripe soup!" "I'll just stick to the ham." "If nothing else, at least record the formulas." " What's a wooden plate?" " A wooden plate?" "Something like that." "If you like dumplings, order a steak." "They do them well here." " Shouldn't we have some eggs instead, perhaps?" " That's too suspicious." "Greetings and kisses!" "From the owner of the parcel on the corner." "Karas!" "Don't drink it!" "It's full of alcohol!" "Take a pill, quickly!" "Did you see that?" "What was it that you dropped into it?" "Give me one, please!" " I've got no more." " But of course you do!" "Can't you see?" " Stop bothering the man!" " Devil-pills!" "They used to sell stuff like that when I was a child too!" "My brother used to do magic tricks, too." "I adored him as if he were a god!" "At one point at breakfast he pulled out four handkerchiefs, and then pulled a live rabbit from underneath!" "Our father gave him such a big slap that he fell off the chair after that!" " Once he even made a Bengal fire!" " Right." "He was a terribly cool kid!" "Dad!" "The guy has a pencil that lights up, too." " Just look!" " Really?" "Shouldn't you put him to bed perhaps?" "Waiter!" "What did the Macas send to the land surveyors?" "Three Armenian cognacs, Mr. Karlik." "Then you must send them Martells." "Another beer!" "It's getting better." "Well, let it be, then." " Five Crowns per hour." "Agreed?" " Agreed." "Three Martells." "Parcel by the forest." "Is the dinner still not here?" "Heli!" "Three Tripe soups." "I wrote the menu." "You'll lick all ten of your fingers after this!" "We also made something special just for you." "It's not even on the menu." " No. 6 by the window wants to order." " What?" " Fine." " Don't worry." "We'll get it back." "What's going on?" "Aren't we playing?" "Only three dinners?" " Yes, only three." " And what about the other Engineer?" "He went to bed." "His stomach was upset." "They took out half of my brother-in-law's stomach, too." "That actually worked." "But he's dead by now." "Is he feeling very bad?" "He just lent me a book about illnesses." "I'll make him some gall-tea." "Don't eat it!" "May I, please?" " Unfortunately I can't..." " Don't be shy, just go!" "And keep an eye on the menu." "Do you like traditional dances?" "Interesting!" "You really don't know how to dance." " No..." " Hey, pal!" "Let the girl alone!" "She's with me." "Can I come in?" "I brought some herbal tea for my little honey-bear!" "What happened?" "Honey-bear?" "Oh!" "Honey-bear!" "Ah!" "Just lay there still!" "I'll call for some help!" "Ah!" "Just stay!" " Stay there!" " Don't do that!" "Heli!" "His head is steaming!" "I brought it back." "I couldn't even turn it on back home!" "He must be temperating." "Don't worry about him." "In thirty minutes he'll be here." "It broke down?" "May I have a look at it?" "Let me do it!" "Take it easy, Mr. Suhanek!" " How could you start fixing a TV now?" " I'll just turn it on to see if it works." "He's in a terrible condition, doctor." "I wouldn't have even thought about calling the ambulance otherwise." " He's probably delirious by now." " Is this the one?" " Can you see?" " I can." "May I ask you to leave us alone?" "I'll call you if I need anything." "What are you?" " A doctor?" " Mm-hm." "Is that a stethoscope?" "Show me, please!" "But please!" "Do you often try to treat yourself?" "Following our grandmothers' advice, you used a wet towel, sweating and then..." "All right." "Lie down, please." "Yes." "Have you checked your temperature?" "I have." "It was 44." "Now it's 43, ten minutes from now it will be 42, and another ten minutes later it will be 41 degrees." "That's impossible!" "Then you wouldn't be alive still!" "You said that it's 42 degrees now?" "No." "It's 43." "Now it's 42.9." "Normal decreasing tendency." "Blood pressure is 120/80," "Number of erythrocytes is 5 million, number of leukocytes is 8800, 70% of that are neutrofils." "PH is slightly alkaline, 7.42." "Has anyone ever told you that you've got beautiful eyes?" "What's your name?" "Olga." "By the way you shouldn't be interested in that by now." "After all, theoretically you're not even alive any more." "Shall we take a walk?" "Or would you rather dance, perhaps?" "Dancing with a 42.9 degree temperature?" "It's only 42.8 by now." "I'm fine!" " Ah!" " Olga, are you feeling unwell?" "Let me see!" "Do you have a fever?" " Any headache?" " The flu is lurking around me." "I just took a bunch of pills." "But for the moment you're the patient still!" "But I can't say what it is without an X-ray and blood samples." "It could even be your appendix!" "But let's hope it isn't." "May I ask you to roll over?" "Why not?" "Would you like to see 100 push-ups?" "5 will be enough." "1, 2, 3, 4..." "Great!" "Congratulations!" "Our hospital is the best in the county." "You'll see." "Olgahhh..." "And he even asked me to have a dance with him!" "He asked you as well?" "It works just fine, Mr. Suhanek." "Unbelieveable!" " It gave absolutely no sound back home." " Here it does." "People just don't know how to have fun nowadays." "All they care about is the TV and more TV." "No surprise they act so hopeless on occasions such as this." "That's just it!" "The same is true at our place as well, right?" "Have some pickles!" "They're excellent!" "Take, for example, that silly serial." "The one called Monsters of the Galaxy." "Complete nonsense!" "You should stop wasting your time watching TV, and do your job instead." "So that the new road will reach us even faster." "Do you know how much money it will save us in terms of petrol and oil?" "About 12 tons per month." "But our profit on car tyres and lubes will also significantly increase." "Would you be interested in the national yearly or quarterly forecasts?" " I'd be happy to assist you!" " Well, I'm not that interested, dear comrade!" "He knows!" "He knows everything!" "An excellent chap!" "Fido!" "How did you get here?" " You shouldn't do things like that!" "Quickly, under the table!" " Hide him, quickly!" "Stay put, will you!" " Mr. Engineer!" " Yes?" " Can I bring you anything else?" " Yes." "The menu." "They took it from us to that table there, in the corner." "Well, that's not the only one we have." "Or did you really think so?" "Here, help yourself." "Have we seen Monsters of the Galaxy?" " What?" "What did you say?" " Don't you remember that title?" "You know the one where they came from space, and they looked just like us, except that they had six fingers." "Fido, sit!" "Do you hear me?" "The bear will bring you luck!" "What bear?" "This one here." "It's got nice protruding ears." "But a queen would be worth even more, right?" "In this deck of cards, there are no kings or queens, unless you meant the aces." "By the way the one you just called a bear is the Ace of Acorns." "There, you have it!" "Finish it instead of me!" "But I won't give you any money to play with." "Not a single penny!" "Shall we keep on playing now?" "We agreed not to attract any attention!" "Take it, Sir!" "Traditions must be respected." "The first prize in the raffle, the valuable porcelain sculpture" " ... goes to No. 128!" " It's me!" "It's me!" "Well, let's see!" "Let's see who's the lucky one?" "Not this time, unfortunately." "So ugly!" "I wouldn't even want it." " It's so kitsch!" " Second prize!" "A chocolate cake plus three bottles of sparkling wine!" "The winner is..." "No. 19!" "We got the 19!" "Come on, I'll help you." "Thank you!" " What are you doing?" " A half cognac!" " Where's Dürchlich?" " Playing the drums instead of me." " Can we have more too?" "And now, the third prize!" "A walnut cake and a big box of bonbons, ... won by No. 42!" "Here it is!" "And it's not over yet!" "Next comes the 4th prize!" "Can I have the drumroll, please!" "Now I can throw it away!" "You completely wrecked it!" "How could you treat an instrument like that?" "This here is 8.60." "I won it in your name." "And a little extra." "To buy a new drum." "Did you hear that?" "Must have been a cat." "Or the stars, perhaps?" "End of part 9."
