1.General: I am glad that you have waited us, bachelor Dankovskiy!
2.Bachelor: How have you got to Abattoir?
3.General: I was looking for you.
4.Bachelor: Is that so?
4.Bachelor: And I - you.
5.General: Ex-commandant Saburov has told me where looking for you this night makes sense. I wanted to ask your advice. What did you manage to find out about epidemic, whether it is possible to stop it and what the army can make for this purpose?
6.Bachelor: Inquisitor...
7.General: The Inquisitor is my enemy. I am more and more convinced of it every hour. I have no want to listen to the word of enemies. Like a dog does not trust a cat, like fire does not believe water, so am I, the army general will not trust the words of Inquisitor.
8.Bachelor: But why?
8.Bachelor: General, Aglaja Lilich is my ally. She has helped me not less than you. I do not want to become a participant of your opposition.
9.General: Do you know how many traps are in the web spun by inquisitors? The reality will repeatedly surpass your most courageous assumptions many times. I do not want to be a puppet. I suspect, however, that it has already happened. I suspect, what I even say these words because the inquisitor has already planned that!
10.Bachelor: I trust Aglaja Lilich.
11.General: Well, and I shall trust you only. And only until I see that you too are bewitched by charms of this sorceress.
12.Bachelor: I am touched with your trust.
13.General: I see you as a person who is able to battle. The one who thinks before an attack. The one who is responsible for his strikes. The one who has chosen a worthy enemy and is capable to break him. We are two warriors, and we happened to finish with the evil which may spread from here all over the country.
14.Bachelor: Consider me as your friend.
14.Bachelor: I execute my duty. It is not necessary to exaggerate...
10.Bachelor: It seems to me, you are exaggerating.
11.General: I see you as a person who is able to battle. The one who thinks before an attack. The one who is responsible for his strikes. The one who has chosen a worthy enemy and is capable to break him. We are two warriors, and we happened to finish with the evil which may spread from here all over the country.
12.Bachelor: Consider me as your friend.
12.Bachelor: I execute my duty. It is not necessary to exaggerate...
6.Bachelor: I never expected such frankness from you.
7.General: I do not want to be the haughty idiot who wants to listen to nobody only because he has a gun like that standing now near the station on the reserve ways. You are a specialist. I want to hear, as you characterize a current state of affairs.
8.Bachelor: Here there are specialists better than myself.
9.General: I doubt it.
10.Bachelor: Do not overestimate my value.
11.General: I see you as a person who is able to battle. The one who thinks before an attack. The one who is responsible for his strikes. The one who has chosen a worthy enemy and is capable to break him. We are two warriors, and we happened to finish with the evil which may spread from here all over the country.
12.Bachelor: Consider me as your friend.
12.Bachelor: I execute my duty. It is not necessary to exaggerate...
8.Bachelor: Now the management of the situation is not in my hands.
9.General: The Inquisitor is my enemy. I am more and more convinced of it every hour. I have no want to listen to the word of enemies. Like a dog does not trust a cat, like fire does not believe water, so am I, the army general will not trust the words of Inquisitor.
10.Bachelor: But why?
10.Bachelor: General, Aglaja Lilich is my ally. She has helped me not less than you. I do not want to become a participant of your opposition.
11.General: Do you know how many traps are in the web spun by inquisitors? The reality will repeatedly surpass your most courageous assumptions many times. I do not want to be a puppet. I suspect, however, that it has already happened. I suspect, what I even say these words because the inquisitor has already planned that!
12.Bachelor: I trust Aglaja Lilich.
13.General: Well, and I shall trust you only. And only until I see that you too are bewitched by charms of this sorceress.
14.Bachelor: I am touched with your trust.
15.General: I see you as a person who is able to battle. The one who thinks before an attack. The one who is responsible for his strikes. The one who has chosen a worthy enemy and is capable to break him. We are two warriors, and we happened to finish with the evil which may spread from here all over the country.
16.Bachelor: Consider me as your friend.
16.Bachelor: I execute my duty. It is not necessary to exaggerate...
12.Bachelor: It seems to me, you are exaggerating.
13.General: I see you as a person who is able to battle. The one who thinks before an attack. The one who is responsible for his strikes. The one who has chosen a worthy enemy and is capable to break him. We are two warriors, and we happened to finish with the evil which may spread from here all over the country.
14.Bachelor: Consider me as your friend.
14.Bachelor: I execute my duty. It is not necessary to exaggerate...
2.Bachelor: I need some carbines.
3.General: What for?
4.Bachelor: For personal needs.
5.General: No, I do not understand. For what?
6.Bachelor: You do not trust me?
7.General: Probably, by way of exception I could give the weapon to the civilian - but I need to know the exact purpose for which it is intended.
8.Bachelor: For self-defence.
9.General: For self-defence I am ready with deep respect for you to give for you only one carbine and three magazines.
10.Bachelor: May I have two?
11.General: Are you hiding something from me?
12.Bachelor: No.
13.General: In any case - two are impossible.
14.Bachelor: It is a pity.
10.Bachelor: Thanks. This is much.
8.Bachelor: The boys ask.
9.General: Do not joke like this again, bachelor Dankovskiy.
10.Bachelor: But I am not joking!
11.General: Enough. We shall not come back to this subject.
12.Bachelor: It is a pity. The affair did not come off.
2.Bachelor: Tell me, Alexander - what are your intentions concerning Polyhedron?
3.General: That terrible structure on he other side of the river?
4.Bachelor: Yes.
4.Bachelor: Why terrible? Do you not like it?
5.General: And how it keeps?
6.Bachelor: I'm just trying to find it out.
6.Bachelor: I believe, it is implemented by means of the ingenious architectural solution. I yet do not know for certain.
7.General: And what's there inside?
8.Bachelor: About one thousand children. They are hiding there from infection.
8.Bachelor: An independent and extremely aggressive state. All its citizens are children.
9.General: And who is looking after these children?
10.Bachelor: That's just the point, that nobody. They are capable to pull off any trick.
11.General: If this trick will be mass and dangerous to the public order, the force should be applied to these children. Do not worry, nobody will shoot at them. But we would hardly be able to put hooligans in a corner, you see.
12.Bachelor: I shall try to keep them from unreasonable actions.
13.General: Why you have started talking about it?
14.Bachelor: I wanted to ask you about two things. First, do not disturb them with your attention. Leave it to me. And secondly, if they make some stupid thing...
15.General: For example?
16.Bachelor: I do not know. If you hear suspicious noise from there or they will send truce envoys... whatever! - come to me first. I shall stay here up to the end.
17.General: Fine. I give my word for that.
18.Bachelor: Thanks.
10.Bachelor: They perfectly cope themselves.
11.General: Well - if they perfectly cope, we shall make fewer efforts. They don't go out from there?
12.Bachelor: No. And let nobody inside.
13.General: Why you have started talking about it?
14.Bachelor: I wanted to ask you about two things. First, do not disturb them with your attention. Leave it to me. And secondly, if they make some stupid thing...
15.General: For example?
16.Bachelor: I do not know. If you hear suspicious noise from there or they will send truce envoys... whatever! - come to me first. I shall stay here up to the end.
17.General: Fine. I give my word for that.
18.Bachelor: Thanks.
2.Bachelor: It was necessary.
2.Bachelor: An encroachment is prepared upon you. You already know?
3.General: Some anecdotic story or someone's foolish joke! I received a mad letter obviously written by a woman being out of her mind. Yes, she in intolerably pathetic expressions warned about some revengeful lady. That's her, right?
4.Bachelor: No. She is a more serious lady.
5.General: In this town I am afraid of one lady only. If she will want to arrange an encroachment on me - I am a goner. Only I do not think, that she will use such extravagant means for this purpose.
6.Bachelor: Her name is Julia Luricheva. She suffers from a nervous breakdown.
6.Bachelor: She is the woman with wit and will of a man. She owns a private residence under the name 'Seine', that one on the cape, in the Edge district.
7.General: Fine. I shall immediately send riflemen there. Let her be under home arrest until I have time to get acquainted with her closer.
8.Bachelor: And something else. The message about this attempt has already flown... the ladies' society. If some excited person comes here...
9.General: I have understood all. We will take this person politely. I shall talk to her and reprimand. But if she will behave violently, she will be locked.
10.Bachelor: Thank you, commander.
4.Bachelor: Yes. She is the eccentric woman-singer; she does not understand at all where she is. She lives in the world of her imaginations.
1.General: So?
2.Bachelor: You have given the order on execution of the architect, Andrei Stamatin?
3.General: I hear this name for the first time. And I never gave such order. Tell me more in detail.
4.Bachelor: I was informed that your soldiers took the architect Andrei Stamatin to shoot him. You cannot shoot him.
5.General: All orders here are given by me only. I did not give such order. If a militarian refers to this order - he is a rebel and is subject to the tribunal. I shall immediately investigate this incident.
6.Bachelor: Where could he be taken?
7.General: I have no idea. I now shall collect the commanders and I find out who could give such order. It is not excluded that this is an actions of he rebels.
8.Bachelor: While you interrogate commanders, Andrei will die!
9.General: What do you want from me? I can rush to search for your comrade in all corners! In my opinion, such actions will give insignificant result. It will be much more effective to find out from whom such order could proceed. If, certainly, some bastards did not act under own discretion...
10.Bachelor: All right, I have understood you.
10.Bachelor: Some more of such bastards - and this long-suffering town will turn into an arena of civil war!
6.Bachelor: He was taken to the railway. I ask to allocate a reinforcement to me and to release him.
7.General: I just was near the gun. It is guarded by company 8. These are the true parts. However... Something was really suspiciously. So you speak, the soldiers have taken your friend away, referring on my order?
8.Bachelor: Yes.
9.General: And where from do you have these data?
10.Bachelor: From the witnesses of arrest.
11.General: Well. I shall call the company commander and he will report the situation to me. If your friend was caught red handed or arrested by a suspicion according to the instruction, he will be taken to me. If it is an arbitrariness - we shall arrest the villains.
12.Bachelor: Can be too late.
13.General: I regret. But I have no right to remove the soldier from he posts. The situation is quite strained. Wait. And if do not want to wait - go there. If you see preparations for execution - tell captain Longin that I order to stop the amateur performance and to wait for me.
14.Bachelor: Good.
8.Bachelor: What was suspicious?
9.General: Answer my question, bachelor.
10.Bachelor: Yes.
11.General: And where from do you have these data?
12.Bachelor: From the witnesses of arrest.
13.General: Well. I shall call the company commander and he will report the situation to me. If your friend was caught red handed or arrested by a suspicion according to the instruction, he will be taken to me. If it is an arbitrariness - we shall arrest the villains.
14.Bachelor: Can be too late.
15.General: I regret. But I have no right to remove the soldier from he posts. The situation is quite strained. Wait. And if do not want to wait - go there. If you see preparations for execution - tell captain Longin that I order to stop the amateur performance and to wait for me.
16.Bachelor: Good.
10.Bachelor: First you answer mine.
11.General: Let's not be engaged in nonsense. You are not my subordinate, but this situation is unsuitable for wasting time for such rubbish. Observe the subordination.
12.Bachelor: Yes, all was so.
13.General: And where from do you have these data?
14.Bachelor: From the witnesses of arrest.
15.General: Well. I shall call the company commander and he will report the situation to me. If your friend was caught red handed or arrested by a suspicion according to the instruction, he will be taken to me. If it is an arbitrariness - we shall arrest the villains.
16.Bachelor: Can be too late.
17.General: I regret. But I have no right to remove the soldier from he posts. The situation is quite strained. Wait. And if do not want to wait - go there. If you see preparations for execution - tell captain Longin that I order to stop the amateur performance and to wait for me.
18.Bachelor: Good.
12.Bachelor: Go to hell.
4.Bachelor: Yesterday he attacked the patrol, interceding for his brother...
5.General: Ah! Yes, he came here mad. He shouted that his brother was not guilty, that they're twins, and that was him who had attacked the fire throwers. I excused him because five minutes before he rushed in, I listened to the report of arbitrariness of these fire throwers. He acted legally.
6.Bachelor: Your soldiers have ceased to obey you? However they are very quick to give orders...
7.General: All orders here are given by me only. I did not give such order. If a militarian refers to this order - he is a rebel and is subject to the tribunal. I shall immediately investigate this incident.
8.Bachelor: Where could he be taken?
9.General: I have no idea. I now shall collect the commanders and I find out who could give such order. It is not excluded that this is an actions of he rebels.
10.Bachelor: While you interrogate commanders, Andrei will die!

16.Bachelor: Good.
10.Bachelor: What was suspicious?
11.General: Answer my question, bachelor.
12.Bachelor: Yes.
13.General: And where from do you have these data?
14.Bachelor: From the witnesses of arrest.
15.General: Well. I shall call the company commander and he will report the situation to me. If your friend was caught red handed or arrested by a suspicion according to the instruction, he will be taken to me. If it is an arbitrariness - we shall arrest the villains.

20.Bachelor: Good.
14.Bachelor: Go to hell.
2.Bachelor: Listen! Your soldiers shoot at me!
3.General: I already know all. You did right. I give thanks.
4.Bachelor: Excuse me?
5.General: Enough, it is impossible to bear any more! My units refuse to obey. Yesterday they were at one quarter diminished by the illness, today I lost one half more of the troops entrusted to me! Good that the rebels are affected by the plague stronger than the soldiers true to their duty. This is an award for mutiny.
6.Bachelor: What are these units?
7.General: They are the unit fifteenth. Fire throwers. Partially the rifle battalion forty two... New inexperienced troops. They were given under my command on the span. Specially for this cursed mission!
8.Bachelor: They have any distinctions?
9.General: What distinctions! If a soldier not on the post, that means he is a criminal. And the criminal is subject to immediate trial and immediate punishment. This is absolutely clear. This is not a situation to sentimentalize.
10.Bachelor: How shall I behave with such soldiers?
11.General: Kill them on the spot. Show resistance. Report me. However, I am already doing this... if I had enough forces, all rebels and betrayers would be already demonstratively exterminated - as it was at Karstic Fords!
12.Bachelor: Well. I shall have it in a kind.
12.Bachelor: It's pleasant to see such eagerness, commander.
8.Bachelor: We had bad luck commander... But it is necessary to admit that you are in much worst position, than I was one week ago.
2.Bachelor: These children have come to you with a request?
3.General: Yes. The bastards-rebels wearing the military uniform took their relatives to shoot them. They asked me to cancel the order to the execution.
4.Bachelor: I hope, you have cancelled it?
5.General: I never gave such order! All orders which are given to the soldiers without my approval are the action of rebels! Damn it... They in fact set an example to others... That would be the last straw if the gun crews will be out of obedience... new units too. We shall severely punish the rebels.
6.Bachelor: How?
7.General: All soldiers who are anywhere, except for those posts on which I have put them, are rebels. They are subject to the tribunal. Resist them - your reputation will only rise from it.
8.Bachelor: Would you allow me to deal with this annoying case?
9.General: Certainly. I have already sent two platoons on searches. Good that the town it quite small...
10.Bachelor: I guess, at what wall to search for these voluntary executioners.
10.Bachelor: Nevertheless I shall talk to the kids, maybe they found out something...
8.Bachelor: ... H'm. So till now I have done everything correctly.
4.Bachelor: Where could they be taken to?
5.General: I have no idea. We tried to ask these children, but they only cry and cannot utter a distinct word!
6.Bachelor: But why to ask them? Whom have you appointed to command the execution?
7.General: I never gave such order! All orders which are given to the soldiers without my approval are the action of rebels! Damn it... They in fact set an example to others... That would be the last straw if the gun crews will be out of obedience... new units too. We shall severely punish the rebels.
8.Bachelor: How?
9.General: All soldiers who are anywhere, except for those posts on which I have put them, are rebels. They are subject to the tribunal. Resist them - your reputation will only rise from it.
10.Bachelor: Would you allow me to deal with this annoying case?
11.General: Certainly. I have already sent two platoons on searches. Good that the town it quite small...
12.Bachelor: I guess, at what wall to search for these voluntary executioners.
12.Bachelor: Nevertheless I shall talk to the kids, maybe they found out something...
10.Bachelor: ... H'm. So till now I have done everything correctly.
2.Bachelor: We wait for tomorrow.
1.General: I hoped that in person of this Inquisitor I would have seen not an eternal enemy but a friend... oh no! She has already given us some role in her intentions. And a dark role, so my heart prompts me...
2.Bachelor: Tell me, commander, if I can address to you in case of extreme situation?
3.General: I sincerely hope that it is so. I admit to you - I am in rage! The instruction which I have received from the headquarters provides me with the large powers and acceptance of strategic decisions. Not a word was said about Inquisitor! And now...
4.Bachelor: What now?
5.General: These issues are not settled till now. For many years one private rule by which the military command submits to the inquisitor decisions has been accepted. It has been justified by that there always would be a way to force a militarian to execute the inquisitor's will, whether the militarian knows about that or not...
6.Bachelor: Yes, I admit, till the latest time the military commanders did not allow to keep false illusions on their account...
7.General: But now all has changed! I am ready to cooperate with her - but she refuses even to meet me. She has collected the information - not without your help, I believe - and now the wheels are rolling. And she carelessly orders me to wait, while it will be a turn of my wheel!
8.Bachelor: For are you responsible for, commander?
9.General: I am responsible for that the epidemic would not spread from here further under some circumstances. Also I am responsible for lives of my soldiers. That's what I know precisely.
10.Bachelor: You flame throwers burn out all infected, both moving and not moving - is this within the scope of their competence?
11.General: Certainly.
12.Bachelor: On the Bone Pole waste ground they will see a lot of interesting things. if I were you, I would pay their special attention to this waste ground.
13.General: H'm ... I shall make so. I shall inform Longin. He is a valorous officer, hot hearted. He also commands the fire throwers. He was directed to my unit just before this affair... Let him execute his duties. And I want to know nothing more.
14.Bachelor: Fine. Now I am calm.
14.Bachelor: I have perfectly understood you, commander. This is what I needed. Everyone executing the duty.
10.Bachelor: In the centre of poor districts of the town a gigantic dead animal decays. Do you imagine the consequences?
11.General: I imagine.
12.Bachelor: This is on the Bone Pole waste ground - it is marked on your map.
13.General: H'm ... I shall make so. I shall inform Longin. He is a valorous officer, hot hearted. He also commands the fire throwers. He was directed to my unit just before this affair... Let him execute his duties. And I want to know nothing more.
14.Bachelor: Fine. Now I am calm.
14.Bachelor: I have perfectly understood you, commander. This is what I needed. Everyone executing the duty.
6.Bachelor: What is the spectrum of your duties?
7.General: I am responsible for that the epidemic would not spread from here further under some circumstances. Also I am responsible for lives of my soldiers. That's what I know precisely.
8.Bachelor: You flame throwers burn out all infected, both moving and not moving - is this within the scope of their competence?
9.General: Certainly.
10.Bachelor: On the Bone Pole waste ground they will see a lot of interesting things. if I were you, I would pay their special attention to this waste ground.

12.Bachelor: Fine. Now I am calm.
12.Bachelor: I have perfectly understood you, commander. This is what I needed. Everyone executing the duty.
4.Bachelor: I hurry to report on you on the affair of extreme importance. In the poor districts of the town a riot is brewing.
5.General: Let Inquisitor to deal with that. The riots are her most direct business. And I shall not participate in this. She does not share the information with me - and I shall not interfere with the issues of her competence. Not from vindictiveness. Only not to prevent her intentions.
6.Bachelor: There are some special circumstances. They directly concern your responsibility.
7.General: I am responsible for that the epidemic would not spread from here further under some circumstances. Also I am responsible for lives of my soldiers. That's what I know precisely.
8.Bachelor: You flame throwers burn out all infected, both moving and not moving - is this within the scope of their competence?
9.General: Certainly.
10.Bachelor: On the Bone Pole waste ground they will see a lot of interesting things. if I were you, I would pay their special attention to this waste ground.

12.Bachelor: Fine. Now I am calm.
12.Bachelor: I have perfectly understood you, commander. This is what I needed. Everyone executing the duty.
6.Bachelor: No... Something suggests me that Inquisitor cannot cope with this.
2.Bachelor: And I hope that you are mistaken. I like Aglaja Lilich.
2.Bachelor: Probably, you are right.
1.General: So, today is the end. At 22 o'clock we move the army train to the southeast, to the main railroad. At 23:50 we open fire. It's up to your decision where the shells will go. The council will take place in the Cathedral, at 19 o'clock.
2.Bachelor: Are you not afraid to miss?
3.General: Not on such distance. This is excluded.
4.Bachelor: Then wait for me in the Cathedral.
5.General: Accept my advice. Beware of Inquisitor. However, you, as they say, are a refined analyst too. But I in your place would not risk playing with her. It is better to hold a deaf defence and not to believe a word.
6.Bachelor: You underestimate me.
7.General: Whatever happens, whatever you do - Inquisitor will always deceive you, and there is no protection against it. Inquisitor can always use you in her purposes so that you would not notice that. And today it happens to all of us.
8.Bachelor: What is so dangerous about Inquisitor to you, commander?
9.General: Formally I have no right to give the order to fire without an exhaustive information on the character of danger received either from her or from you. You understand, what restrictions it imposes on my freedom...
10.Bachelor: So what?
11.General: I suspect that this young fox keeps her most important arguments hidden, and she will open them in the last minute. She will open so that I cannot simply give the order to fire. I am not s barbarian. I am not going to kill the civilians without emergency.
12.Bachelor: I shall come to the Cathedral.
12.Bachelor: I'm glad.
10.Bachelor: Duo bus certantibus tertius gaudet.
8.Bachelor: I have already heard similar speech. And I have answered to it. I shall act how the conscience orders to me. If it coincides with someone's intentions - let it be.
6.Bachelor: I shall take this into account.
4.Bachelor: What will happen if I shall not come to the Cathedral?
5.General: Then I will have a collision with Inquisitor. I do not think that something good will come out of it. I refrain from her so that I think I'll have to break the received instructions, risking of disgrace upon my head - to the tribunal.
6.Bachelor: I understand you very well.
7.General: Accept my advice. Beware of Inquisitor. However, you, as they say, are a refined analyst too. But I in your place would not risk playing with her. It is better to hold a deaf defence and not to believe a word.
8.Bachelor: You underestimate me.
9.General: Whatever happens, whatever you do - Inquisitor will always deceive you, and there is no protection against it. Inquisitor can always use you in her purposes so that you would not notice that. And today it happens to all of us.
10.Bachelor: What is so dangerous about Inquisitor to you, commander?
11.General: Formally I have no right to give the order to fire without an exhaustive information on the character of danger received either from her or from you. You understand, what restrictions it imposes on my freedom...
12.Bachelor: So what?
13.General: I suspect that this young fox keeps her most important arguments hidden, and she will open them in the last minute. She will open so that I cannot simply give the order to fire. I am not s barbarian. I am not going to kill the civilians without emergency.
14.Bachelor: I shall come to the Cathedral.
14.Bachelor: I'm glad.
12.Bachelor: Duo bus certantibus tertius gaudet.
10.Bachelor: I have already heard similar speech. And I have answered to it. I shall act how the conscience orders to me. If it coincides with someone's intentions - let it be.
8.Bachelor: I shall take this into account.
6.Bachelor: In my opinion, there is an intrigue against Inquisitor. I do not want to become a weapon directed against her by more intricate hands...
7.General: You speak about Klara?
8.Bachelor: Yes. About the Devotress.
8.Bachelor: About Klara, this saint? No. This never occurred to me.
9.General: Accept my advice. Beware of Inquisitor. However, you, as they say, are a refined analyst too. But I in your place would not risk playing with her. It is better to hold a deaf defence and not to believe a word.
10.Bachelor: You underestimate me.
11.General: Whatever happens, whatever you do - Inquisitor will always deceive you, and there is no protection against it. Inquisitor can always use you in her purposes so that you would not notice that. And today it happens to all of us.
12.Bachelor: What is so dangerous about Inquisitor to you, commander?
13.General: Formally I have no right to give the order to fire without an exhaustive information on the character of danger received either from her or from you. You understand, what restrictions it imposes on my freedom...
14.Bachelor: So what?
15.General: I suspect that this young fox keeps her most important arguments hidden, and she will open them in the last minute. She will open so that I cannot simply give the order to fire. I am not s barbarian. I am not going to kill the civilians without emergency.
16.Bachelor: I shall come to the Cathedral.
16.Bachelor: I'm glad.
14.Bachelor: Duo bus certantibus tertius gaudet.
12.Bachelor: I have already heard similar speech. And I have answered to it. I shall act how the conscience orders to me. If it coincides with someone's intentions - let it be.
10.Bachelor: I shall take this into account.
1.General: It is time. Go.
2.Bachelor: Yes, I'm ready.
2.Bachelor: I, perhaps, will stay here a little while. I need to think...
1.General: At last to the western front! With this artillery I shall teach the enemy to respect he national army! May it be soon...
2.Bachelor: May this war end soon...
1.General: I cannot talk now. Even about important things.
2.Bachelor: Nothing important. I'm just on beat.
2.Bachelor: Well, I will come later.
1.General: So, Bachelor - your decision was not made by not calculation or self-interest, it was not urged by the circumstances, but only by your conscience. I have received the order to raze everything to the ground. But if there is no such necessity - I am ready to believe you, having risked my life and honour, wherefore I am merciful. Where do I target our guns?
2.Bachelor: I am not ready to make a decision.
3.General: This is wise. There will be no second attempt. No opportunity to change. I advise you to be careful.
4.Bachelor: I shall have this in mind.
2.Bachelor: It is enough to destroy Polyhedron to stop spreading of the infection. There is no sense to destroy the whole town.
3.General: I never expected that from you... you can prove that it's really possible way out?
4.Bachelor: The Haruspicus will prove. I trust him. He will speak the language of terrible fairy tales from the far childhood, and I have already disaccustomed to understand such language. Let him tell about his relations with this ancient tribal order. This is a pledge of rescue of the town, as I have understood.
5.General: Now we shall speak with you, Artemiy Burakh! Bachelor Dankovskiy! Are you sure that you really have nothing more to tell me?
6.Bachelor: I am sure, commander. The decision is made.
2.Bachelor: It is not necessary to destroy anything. We can do without shooting and keep this world as it is.
3.General: You believed Klara? You transfer the right to decide to her? I want Inquisitor to hear it!
4.Bachelor: Yes.
5.General: Speak, Klara. Bachelor Dankovskiy! Are you sure that you really have nothing more to tell me?
6.Bachelor: I am sure, commander. The decision is made.
2.Bachelor: Let the Settlement be destroyed. But Polyhedron may not be touched. The survived will rescue there until we vaccinate them, and the epidemic finally will not come to the end.
3.General: So you think that the town is doomed?
4.Bachelor: Yes. The soil under it is impregnated by layers of the infected poison. We are lucky that the ground in this place is arranged so intricate. Plough with shells every inch of this ground, take the stones out of it, split it with cracks so that nobody would ever settle on this ground. On this river bank none can live.
5.General: I understand. And you believe that the Tower on the thinnest support will stay after bombardment?
6.Bachelor: Yes. The tower must stay. I have studied its structure and I'm inclined to assume that it's rather seismic resistant. It is like a weight on a steel spring. If no shell explodes on that bank of the river, Polyhedron will stay.
7.General: No shell will fall where I do not order to drop it.
8.Bachelor: So let it be.
9.General: Can you prove that it's a good way out?
10.Bachelor: I can. Here my arguments. A sample of bacterium, vaccine and a map with drawings pointing at the source of infection.
11.General: Are you sure that you really have nothing else to tell me?
12.Bachelor: I am sure, commander. The decision is made.
2.Bachelor: So, I declare my decision to you. I refuse the choice. I shall not decide about the destiny of this town and to show my arguments to you.
3.General: No decision will be accepted without you. We are in the dead end. Inquisitor holds me down. I shall not allow her to work because it seems to me that she has conceived a diabolical dying grimace and wants to set the infection free. The Haruspicus works in the interests of Inquisitor, Klara is compromised. The town is doomed...
4.Bachelor: I have told all. Farewell, commander.
1.General: Wait for the consequences of your decision. By twelve o'clock all will be over.
2.Bachelor: Farewell, commander.
