light of the morning sun. Dark, almost black wavy hair resting on her shoulders, and the aristocratic white skin glowed as if from within. El’Athar stood near the window, thin and limp, as if suddenly aged a few years, but still beautiful.
The agent did not like the bright light that seemed to lay bare all the shortcomings about which he wanted to forget: at the corner of his mouth on the right side there was a scar that could be seen clearly, as if he was picking up his lips in a smile; long bangs hid mutilated left temple and ear, and in the morning light blue eyes became unnaturally bright. If you look closely, this little nose was a surgical miracle as well.
...what has happened to you? ..
— El’Athar ... — sounded behind his back, and the agent turned sharply, having forgotten that there was someone else in the apartment.
— What is your full name? — Tekhina asked, standing beside him, looking out the window in fascination — over the roofs of neighbouring houses she could see the sea to the horizon. The water was so close that even the half-blind Tekhina saw this beauty.
— El’Athar is not my name — said her agent. — This is my nickname in the files of intelligence of Elam. In the future, I hope I can share with you my secret if I'll have time — El’Athar chuckled, obviously pleased with his joke.
Tekhina frowned.
— I have my birthday in a few days — she said quietly.
— Thirty six?
— Yes. Not a lot of fun, of course, but I'd like to spend the day well. And your age, is it also a mystery? In "Enki" no one can answer this question — the blonde smiled, picking up her hair in a ponytail.
— No. Twenty eight.
— I see! And I was that you are older. Well, I think it's time to get ready.
— Yes, that's a good idea. Coffee?
— Yes, please.

Hello Lydie! We are fine. I did not expect that the research would be so interesting. I regret that you are not with us as for any young scientist this expedition is a great start! We found several caves, where we had drill rods installed. But even without drilling we revealed a stunning fact: just imagine — the age of some stones is more than a million years! We found the remains of field mice, and as far as you know, my dear, they have been extinct for five to ten thousand years! And in all of Greenland there is nothing left but ice. Once upon a time people lived here...
Forever yours, Trier.
Hello Lydie! I was glad to get your letter last night, I'm sorry I did not answer immediately. Congratulations on your promotion! A junior researcher is a great position! I'm sure you will have a distinguished academic career! Now a little about the expedition. Everything goes according to the plan. We've made a surprising discovery — perfectly preserved skeletons of polar owls. Beautiful birds they were ... It's a pity that in the last two thousand years the flora and fauna were reduced by 90%, so we can only look at the beautiful pictures of Earth from the distant past and admire them. I wish I were there with you ...
Good night, sweetheart! Yours, Trier.
Lydie, are you alright? Lately there has been... some anxiety. Maybe it is because of the fact that it's Greenland and almost day and night we stay in the caves and it influences me so, but I sleep badly. This damn concern does not leave me for a moment. In addition, I began to hear talk in my sleep, unfamiliar people, and completely incomprehensible foreign language. I guess I'm just tired. Besides that I'm fine, do not worry.
Hi dear! How do you do? You wrote that you are working on a new project. It's great! It seems that all of us are caught in chronic fatigue, many began to feel sick. I hope that everything will be fine.
Today we descended to the distant caves. There's a huge amount of unique minerals, various types of soil. It's strange to be in there, as if you are somewhere but not on Earth. Cave passages are very intricate, every time I'm afraid to get
