Pursuit of the Sun 1.2

- Well, ask something too, - whispers Voldemar Arno.

- Since Hmel's Day, you say... That is, since yesterday... Here, in the tavern, I suppose? Were there also some good people here, like us, treating you? Or did you drown your sorrows with free beer all alone?

-- No, I'll get drunk, wander around, sleep, get drunk, wander around...
-- And tell me, what kind of people did you meet while wandering around? Well, I mean those who didn't care, you know.
-- Oh... Yes. I almost froze to death at night, someone took me to a doctor. And also, this morning I was sitting, drinking right on the street, it was very early! And a kind man came up and asked what was wrong. And I told him... He invited me to stay overnight. Come in the evening, somewhere between the slums and the artisans... I'll get drunk and go.

- In that case, I have no objections - my Intelligence is at your service! Whether it's an expedition or just a task, if it's within my power, I will achieve the results you need.

-- Excellent. Since other members of the expedition will not be able to assist you in the near future, we will postpone this problem until at least the middle of the month, so you can now devote all your efforts to your scientific work. If you have any questions about the expedition, please ask; if not, I will leave you.
