"Ordo Draconis - (K) Kopyleft 2016." "All Rites Reversed..." "VISITORS" "Suspicion seems to be tightening around the Visitors, so they decide to participate in the evening party, despite the obvious risks." "Heli, the maid, who is disturbed by the absence of the young engineer, calls the ambulance for the 'temperating' Doctor Noll." "The condition of the patient, still emitting blue smoke from his body, seems serious, therefore the duty doctor calls for immediate action." "And thus, Dr. Noll, who specializes in the sicknesses of the past, is given the excellent opportunity to get to know not just the charming young doctor, but the healing methods of the 20th century as well." "In the meantime an uninvited guest enters the Visitors' room." "The dances of the 25th century are somewhat different from the disco style of the Lion Hotel, but Katya doesn't seem to be troubled by this fact." "As a result of his selfish action, Eda, the carousel-guy suddenly becomes a millionaire." "Mr. Dürchlich's drumroll, on the other hand, turns out much less successfully." "But the old proverb tells the truth:" "you only know who your true friends are when you are in trouble." "A true friend offers you help in no time." "And thus, their friendship for life is officially declared." "Katya is also enriched by unforgettable experiences." "It's only Eda, unknowingly packing the money into the disintegrator, who loses." "STATE OF EMERGENCY" "I've been dreaming about a drum like this ever since I was born!" "I'll never forget what you did for me!" "Well, just say it." "What would you like in return?" "I'll give it to you right away." "Would you like my house?" "Or my new pocket watch, perhaps?" "Hmm?" "None of those?" "Ah, I've got it!" "Would you like Suhanek's TV?" "No way!" "This one has twenty-seven channels!" " Ah!" " Well..." "You must definitely go and visit him!" "He ate something." "They don't know what to do with him now." "Poor Engineer!" "Will he ever recover again, I wonder?" "He's got a 42 degree fever!" "Theoretically, he's not even alive any more." "But practically he is." "Why are you smiling?" "Would you like to say something, perhaps?" "This is just a simple temperating." " Has anyone ever told you that you've got beautiful eyes, Olga?" " Olga?" " Do you know each other?" " No." "He's delirious." "But at least the amount of smoke seems to be reducing." "Incomprehensible." "I just don't see the reason why." " I'm going to make a call." " To whom?" " To the head doctor." "This is Academician here." "Academician calling Hope." "Doctor!" "Report!" "I want to know how you're doing." "I'm interested in everything about you." "Like, for example, the country road you're working on." "I'd even write an article about it." "Academic calling Hope." "Karas, Katya, come home." "This is a state of emergency!" "What is it?" "Ah, nothing." "I must go now." "You must?" "Are you totally insane?" "You want to leave now?" "Can't you see that the storm is right upon us?" "I don't care, we're leaving." "Eda, stop joking!" "Where are we gonna find another rich town like this?" "Tell me, have you ever seen one million in one pile?" " No." " Good." "At least you can't be used as an eyewitness, if they ask about such things." " Me?" "About what?" " That there is none." "We're leaving." "Wake up the kids!" "Eda!" "I'll take care of you, don't worry." "Let's go." "Do you know what the most interesting thing about all this is?" "Nothing ever happened in this town, until you came here." "But now..." "Kamenice Today." "And look at the name at the end." "Petr Malak." "Exactly." "Or in other words, me." "Personally." "But there's something else as well." "Hope!" "Report!" "Karas!" "State of Emergency!" "Hope!" "State of Emergency!" "Funerals are the best." "Then you can really bang this thing!" "Come on, how sad this rain is!" "Didn't I tell you how catchy it is?" "Where's the salt?" "In the box with the little Saracen boy." "The redcurrant wine must also be there somewhere." "No." "That's kerosene." "Wow!" "What a strange instrument!" " What's it used for?" " That?" "Don't you know?" "It's a spring scale." "You use it, for example, when you want to weigh a pig." "It's yours." "I found it on the top of a pile of junk by the forest." "Right next to this." "American Heating." "Except for that it doesn't work with coal." "And I don't have any coke." "But maybe I'll convert it one day." "You can take it with you if you want." "When I was walking from Dandy, I fell into a ditch." "It was my sweet awakening." "Hope!" "Report!" "Karas!" "Hope!" "Report!" "At last!" "I've been looking for you for at least 30 minutes by now!" "I left because of the drum." "I was the one carrying it for a while." "Mr. Karas even gave me a fiver in return." " Do you know where my parents are?" " Aren't they in the room?" "Fido ate half of the cake." "Would you like a piece?" "Don't worry, I'll cut off the parts he messed up." "No, I don't want any." "Thank you very much." "It's made with walnut cream." "It really is delicious!" "I'd rather just sleep." "Damn it!" "Your shoes are totally wet." "Mister!" "Couldn't you just stay here for a while?" "If my parents come back, you could tell them..." " that I've been looking for them." " All right." "And now, off to bed with you!" "You don't want to catch cold, do you?" "Just imagine..." "What if Time went backwards?" "That would mean Mr. Dürchlich, for example, wouldn't have a drum by now." "That would be a big loss, indeed." "He always wanted to play at funerals." "I only said that for the sake of the example, of course." "So, let's suppose that Time didn't advance forward, as it does." "Or, in other words, that it didn't pass." "Let's break it down to factors." "As if it has just stopped." " And again." " Just like the movies?" " What's that?" " Like in a film theater." " We just call it a movie." " Aha." "You know, the formula you wrote on the menu was incorrect." "Because if we add two speeds that are slower than light, we can still never get a speed that is faster than the speed of light." "Therefore," "K alpha equals one unit of speed, and U equals C squared, divided by 1, in brackets, minus 1 per K." "That's exactly how it was." "In The Fools of the Hepterids." "I hope I haven't mixed it up." "I worked it out when we were talking about things outside space, in the dungeon." " Look, in the course of complexly defined time, of course..." " It's them!" "Just look at him now!" "I'm gonna seriously give him a beating one of these days." "And we were just running up and down in this storm looking for him." "He fell asleep." "He was looking for you for a long time." "Temperature is normal." "36.2." "Did you actually make a bet whether you could make me get out of bed, or what?" "I haven't seen too many men in my life who were as healthy as this one." "But doctor, I checked his temperature in the hotel myself an hour ago." "It was 42.9!" "Really?" "And with what?" "Could you please check the thermometer, colleague?" "Even if you'd never used such a device before, you could still see clearly that the highest mark on its scale is 42." "And not 43 or 44 degrees." "And that's not the device's fault, after all even Asclepius was aware that..." "So, what are the effects of a fever above 40 degrees on the human body?" "The state of the proteins goes through an irreversible change..." " in their structure." " As a result of which..." "The thermoregulation center is also affected." " Go on, please." " The balance of mineral materials breaks down, or in other words, the state of clinical death occurs." "But in our case, this simply didn't happen." "And since blue smoke was emanating from the patient's hands and legs," "I diagnosed it as heatstroke." "So, you think it's heatstroke." "On account of the blue smoke." "Weren't there any other symptoms?" "No." "But I've already dismissed the heatstroke." "In the absence of other symptoms." "And I prescribed him some penicillin, plus a combination of penicillin and streptomycin, plus a cardiotonic and half an ampoule of lanatoside." "Half an ampoule." "You can check the records." "His temperature was still 42 deg. when we brought him in." "And all this during the storm." "Which obviously must have interfered with our instruments." "Just like it did the other night, at 00:58." "Where is my coffee?" "I think he was the one who did it." "But actually this doesn't really change anything." " Is that all he left?" " I also have another 500." "It's called bribery." "Karlik." "Parcel by the forest or by the corner." "The disintegrator briefcase is gone, just like the money, Karas, and the doctor!" "And you even promised an interview to the local newspaper." " Me?" " It certainly wasn't me." "It seems that Adam will only be followed by his dog." " What's his name?" " Mihal Noll." "A land surveyor." "Bring him to No. 7." "And so that you don't get bored, do some blood and urine tests, skull X-rays, check the eyeballs and do an EEG!" "And preferably while he's still fuming." "One moment." "I'll ask the head doctor about it." "It's the surgery." "They want to send an urgent patient here." "He fell off the carousel." "He broke his leg and jaw." "I can send them some medical plaster if they don't have any." "This is the department of internal medicine, please!" "What?" "His heart?" "Struck by lightning?" "Suspected direction: the school." "As soon as he comes out." "But without attracting suspicion." " I don't want him to notice anything!" " Good morning to you all!" " Good morning!" " And Mr. Karas?" "Are we gonna pick him up on the way?" "What do you mean, on the way?" " Where do you think you're going?" " Helping you to do land surveying." "'Cos I want a football." "If I work with you for 8 hours, making 5 Crowns per hour..." " And what about school?" " It's already too late for that." "We overslept." "Would you like some buns?" "I brought a whole lot with me." "Is it automatic, so you don't have to shift between the gears?" "No." "It couldn't go without me turning it on." "OK, but you're only pushing the gas." "Ours must be put into 1st gear first." "'Vulture' has two 'u'-s." "Correct it." "And this sentence here:" ""Fido, my dog, is very loyal."" "Is it a 'y'?" "Take a right here, and then keep on straight." "'Forget-me-not' is a single word." "Am I right?" "You should have used the horn." "Maybe they're still asleep." "I'll be done in a minute!" "Only a couple more nails!" "The old man went to the town." "It has a terrible leak here." "I'm fixing it for him." "I'm going to take care of the walls, too." "I asked him how much the materials cost." "Not much." "Only a couple of thousand." "A couple of thousand?" "Adam!" "Stop goggling about!" "Hurry up to school!" "They already started the first class." " But Mr. Dürchlich!" " Go on, or I'll never take you fishing with me." " All right, I'm going." " Good." " But then tomorrow!" " The Great Teacher!" "Do you remember?" "He wrote that about him in the Memoirs..." "Of course!" "The Teacher, the teacher!" "They joke about me, 'cos I fixed the toilets at Karoly University for 7 years." "Although, truth be told, one can pick up quite a lot during such a long time." "Here!" "Look what I just found in the bin!" "A dynamo!" "Tongs." "A raincoat." "Not a new one, but we can still fix it." "Then it can be used again." "People throw everything away these days." "They don't have respect for anything anymore." "And then, there's this brand new briefcase." "This is dad, he's just a bit wrapped up." "Stop talking nonsense!" "Eda, you know, white really looks good on you." "Kids, tell your dad that if he gets back on his feet quickly, we'll push the carousel instead of him." "We brought you some cake!" " We baked it!" " The patient can only eat liquid food now." " Really?" "Like what?" " I mean, if he can eat anything at all." "Thank you very much!" "Oh, thank you, too!" "But it would be a lot better if you didn't come to visit him." " Daddy!" " He really needs some rest now." "Eda!" "My dear heart!" "You're not allowed to go in there." "Nurse, these are his sneakers and his pajamas." "Good!" "Don't worry!" "It'll surely hurt even more than this now and again." "It hurts!" "It hurts!" "It hurts!" "Bye!" "Kisses!" "We'll come again soon." " All right, come on!" " Daddy!" " Mari!" " Good bye!" " Mari!" " Come on!" " Mari!" "Hold on!" "It won't hurt any more after this." "Land surveyor!" "Try to get some sleep." "Medical plaster?" "That's right!" "An amazing technique." "Without any extra complications." "Simple and logical." "I've had so much trouble with you." "Why did you have to temperate?" "Get inside!" "They could see us from down below." " What did you bring?" "Medicines?" " And some nasper." " We've been 30 minutes looking for you." " Who's this?" "You think he'll talk?" " He can't." " Our money is gone." "This man took it." "And the disintegrator briefcase was lost as well, but at least we've already found out where it is now." "The cake is mine!" " Aha!" "It's delicious!" " The Teacher has it." "Then tonight at midnight..." "At 00:58." " And without you." " What's gonna happen to me?" "You stay here." "It'd be too suspicious if all 4 of us disappeared at the same time." "But we'll keep you entertained." "The new package is due to arrive tomorrow." "Tell me." "Do you happen to have any money with you?" "Where could I possibly put it, do you think?" "Poor thing!" "Broken bones in two places." "Embolism." "Is he in pain?" "Quite a lot." "If they'd let me intervene, at least he wouldn't have to suffer." " Rather just..." " Stop yelling here, please!" " Get lost!" "Quickly!" " Home..." " Don't be afraid!" "This really won't hurt." " It really seems urgent for you!" " Home!" "You're safe here." "I want to get out of here!" "Home!" "This really sucks!" "They only gave me a grade 4 in spelling class." " What do you mean only a grade 4?" " I didn't put a comma before 'but'." "It's ridiculous." "I didn't pay enough attention." "Which one is that?" "You know, our strength is Geometry." "Karas, you can start." "And mathematics..." "Oh, but here I can see a grade 5." "Listen to me." "I'll give you a puzzle." "A simple one for a warm-up." "Oh, no!" "We were talking about doing some land-surveying, weren't we?" " Gee, he really is here!" " He didn't lie after all." "You did promise that we would do surveying." " Well, yeah." " Then?" "Which direction should I take?" "Towards the Karliks or the Macaks?" "Just look!" "Is it gonna be good here?" "They're bringing it here!" " To the left!" "A bit more!" " Here?" "To the Karliks." "I told you I'd take care of this!" "Just wait!" "Don't jinx it!" "They're already on their way back." "Give it to me!" "Katya!" "Hi!" "I won't disturb you much." "Just a few pictures for the paper, and I'm gone." "But one of us is missing." "No worries!" "Come on, Katya." "Stand in front of the car." "Adam, hold the rod in your hands." "That's it." "And the Engineer should stand here." "The picture mustn't be published." "Take care of it." "There must be no evidence left back here about us." "Please!" "Just a moment of your patience!" " Just a moment, please!" " Of course!" "And the text underneath will say:" ""Working for the future."" "And right beside it, of course, we'll put part of the country road's layout plan." "We're almost done." "Huddle together!" "Adam, you too." "Very good!" "And they keep saying that he'll never come to anything." "But now he'll be in the newspaper!" "More!" "More!" "Stop!" "They have the effrontery to bring it right under our noses!" "Go down and talk to them." "After all, they took the 500 Crowns from you." "Stop kidding!" "Publicly?" "Are you here?" "Well, thank God!" "I was searching all over town for you." " Why?" " What did I just bring you, pal?" "You never tasted something like this!" "I cut the grass in some woman's garden." "And she can make the kind of sausage that could speak at least 7 languages!" "You must taste it!" "What?" "It was still inside when I left home!" "Don't you let the briefcase disappear now." "Attention, attention!" "Line three!" " The device will do it in no time and that's it!" " One-two!" "To E4!" "E7 to C6!" "I don't get it." "Are they playing chess or what?" "Let's take care of business, Adam." "3 hours by 5 Crowns, right?" " That's 17." " Come on, stop joking around." "I told you I want to buy a football, didn't I?" "It costs 130." "I've got 93 now, ...tomorrow 4 hours more, that's 20." "So I need 17 more." "Thanks." "Ah, I see you'd like to pay the bill." "Very good, because I'm just closing the register now." "Yesterday cost 425 Crowns, everything included." "There, you can have a look." "Three dinners with soup, one bottle of cognac, which you ordered with Mr. Bernau for the band, plus the cake and the coffee." "How is the Engineer?" "Have you visited him?" "He is at Internal Surgery." "Room 7." "But it's better if you don't even visit him." "He looks terrible." "We could hardly recognize him." "Mr. Engineer!" "What would you like for dinner?" "Barbecue or sirloin?" "I'm dead tired of it!" "20 Crowns for Adam." "We must survive until tomorrow with our money." "With some luck we might even have enough for some pickles, too." "You missed it." "It's small in size, greenish in colour, and very tasty." "Even better than nasper." "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." "End of part 10."
