--The defensive mechanism won't spare us; it will spare the Gish! -- Vlad exclaimed.
Reyushka was slightly singed, but it was minor compared to the fact that almost half of her (along with the engine) collapsed and plunged into the water. A burning piece of the oar ended up entirely in the digestive vacuole; the horizon shook as if the Gish had laughed inappropriately loudly, and then they suddenly found themselves floating in the air with the remaining wreckage and splashed into the water about fifty meters from the disaster. The Gish disappeared underwater.
--Whew, I thought we were goners, -- Vlad sighed. -- But we survived; the kraken didn't eat us. And it's all thanks to my discovery that Gishes, it turns out, are afraid of fire. I'm glad I found that out in time! Or rather, you found that out, -- he corrected himself. -- But since your name is unknown in scientific circles, I'll say that I discovered it myself, and you were my assistant, okay?
