fragment. This exact piece of very strange “alloy” now lay on the table before our eyes.

Vladimir Dmitrievich asked us to help him to understand what it was. Everyone began
to discuss it and express their opinion. I began to scan as usual and suddenly... I heard
someone speak to me. I turned my head trying to identify who was talking to me. Indeed,
everyone talked, but the pronunciation was quite different from those things I heard. The
words I heard were expressed very clearly and pretty loudly. I needed some time to
realize that it was the piece of spaceship which held a conversation with me.

I did not expect it at all; I could not even imagine anything like this. But it happened
in reality. Certainly, it was my brain which transformed telepathic signals sent by the
fragment into a verbal form usual for me. It was simply unbelievable, but it happened—
the fragment of the wrecked spaceship conversed with me.

As it turned out later ships of this type were quasi-living artificial organism-ships
which possessed a pretty high intellect. They were made of the material which had as a
basis enormous organic molecules, like DNA and RNA, with metal compounds
introduced at their free electronic connections. Their organization was exactly the same

as the spaceships of Oiya’s civilization. Every fragment of a spaceship preserved its
artificial intellect and possessed a certain potential proportional to its size.

So, here is what this fragment “told” me. It said that I had the right to access the
information and began to give me the information about the organization of the
spaceship, principles of control, and co-ordinates of the star system where this ship had
arrived from. I got a complete picture of principles of action of the spaceship. For
example, if a living creature approaches it, the ship does a control distance scanning to
find the level of evolutional development of the creature. If the living creature meets the
requirements, the ship enters into telepathic contact with this creature and reveals
information, to the level of evolutional “admittance”.

If the living creature mismatches with the evolutional parameters found in the
memory of the ship, the latter sends the telepathic signal of warning about its possible
actions, if the living creature continues to approach the spaceship. It is like the shout of

a sentry: “Stop, who goes there” or “Stop, or I will shoot” If the creature does not
perceive the telepathic information or ignores a warning, the spaceship blocks its moving
abilities or its technical equipment—engines die, all electronics devices fail. If even after
this the living creature continues to approach the spaceship, the latter de-livers a strong
power blow to destroy the creature. The fragment of a spaceship does the same, only its
power is considerably less compared to the whole ship—the smaller the splinter, the
weaker the influence.
The reason for such pretty strict programming of the artificial intellect of a
spaceship is very simple—the ship is controlled telepathically and the situation, when a
living creature without proper qualities and concepts penetrates into the spaceship, may
result in an annihilating explosion of extraordinary power, which inevitably causes the
death of a planet. Thus, all actions of the spaceship are dictated by the rules of safety.
Curious that no one except me heard anything and even was aware of what was
happening.

On my next arrival in Moscow I was introduced to Professor F.R. Khantseverov
who then also worked in the Institute of Space Research. I was invited to his flat. During
