This planet was hidden from prying eyes, and many alien races did not even know about its existence. Thus, traveling in space, uninvited guests could rarely drop in to the LEMURIANS.
The Lemurian race developed such sciences as mathematics, chemistry, physics, and the sphere of shipbuilding developed.
Each Lemurian was obliged to be, according to the laws of the confederation, a fully conscientious citizen, which meant that, firstly, he would necessarily acquire offspring, and secondly, he would receive a profession that was relevant for the confederation, and would serve all his life for the good of the Lemurian community.…
Liera, tired of pressing the radio buttons without stopping, even managed to doze off a little. She was awakened by another lab worker: Nisu Bas.
Nishu alarmed Liera with his low voice when he entered the laboratory, loudly communicating over the radio with another department.
– My God, Nishu! You scared me! – Liera jokingly grabbed her heart and smiled at Nish.
– Sorry, Liera, I didn’t mean to. Hearing something from Luanu and Shea?
Liera shook her head.
– Silence.
Nisha nodded sadly.
– We must pray to the Light that our guys survive and bring us valuable materials.
– Yes, Nishu.
Now only prayer can help.
Liera brushed a strand of hair that had fallen to her forehead, rose from her chair, and walked out of the lab. At the door, she paused for a second.
– Niche! After all, they are trying for us… It’s really very important. To keep them alive.
Nisha nodded. Liera smiled and walked out of the lab.
Nishu walked over to the monitor. A single, flat signal line floated across the screen. The satellite was silent.

Imagine Shea’s joy when he climbed into the ship and found Luana sleeping there!
Shea didn’t wake each other up, but went straight to the food bay. He was hungry as hell! Running with the spinosaurus took too much of his energy.
Shea grabbed a protein shake from the formula drawer, uncorked it, and began to drink greedily.
Only now did he allow his body to relax a little, and his mind to come to balance and calm down.
Shea suddenly remembered that he had promised Liara to report every five hours on the results of the expedition, and in horror realized that he had not contacted for two days. Shea returned to the cockpit, fumbled for the radio, and pressed the power button.
– Liera, Liera. This is Shea. Please answer.
In response, there were wheezes and groans from the speaker, but Liera did not answer yet. Shea repeated the request.
Finally, the voice of Nishu, Liera’s lab colleague, was heard on the phone.
– Shea! How glad I am that you are alive! Is Luanu okay too, I hope?
Shea smiled. It was nice to hear the sounds of civilization in this (as yet) godforsaken place.
– Yes, Lou is still sleeping. Apparently I also had a fun today.
We are safe and sound. Tell me friend, is Liera far away?
Nishu replied:
«She’s out, Shea. I promise as soon as I get back, tell her to get in touch with you.
– Thank you friend. I miss you, brothers. – Nishu could be heard grinning.
– And we are for you. Gather everything you need and come back soon.
– We will try, Nishu. OK, we will keep in touch. Shea said his last words and hit hang up.

The leader of the tribe of the primitive Iroquois living on the Gautario River in the Uru-Eu-Wau-Wau reservation, the shaman and Indian Hiawatha made an offering to the gods of their tribe.
A small lamb was executed and sacrificed, and now his corpse, anointed with ancient incense (backgammon, incense, camphor, sandalwood, myrrh, musk, amber, operculum) was smoking on the ashes at the altar.
Hiawatha uttered sacred words, a prayer-spell, designed to invoke the mercy of the gods. For the seventh month there has been no rain in their area. The river dried up, the animals died from dehydration, the children were thirsty.
Hiawatha closed his eyes and whispered tirelessly:
Ee Mungu! utuhurumie, watoto wako! tunatamani unyevu! wanyama wetu wanatamani unyevu! wanawake wetu wanatamani unyevu! watoto wetu wanatamani unyevu!
(Swahili version – author’s note)
What in translation meant:
Oh Gods! have mercy on us, your children! we crave moisture! our animals crave moisture! our women crave moisture! our children crave moisture!
The lamb’s corpse was quietly smoldering, and the shaman continued to whisper requests for a change in the weather.
The children of the Mohawki tribe behaved strangely: at first they played, frolicked with might and main, and then everyone sat down on the ground and began to cry. One of the mothers, Arenk, sat down on the ground next to them and began to lull them to sleep with singing. Baby Amedehi calmed down first and began to smile with might and main.
Well done, Amedehi, – praised
Arenk. Now it remains to wait for the rest to calm down. Arenk hugged another girl, Aponivi, and began stroking her head.
Having finished the prayer, Hiawatha approached Arenk and the children sitting on the ground and turned to Arenk:
I trust in our Gods. What are they
will send us rain next week.
Arenk nodded.
O great Hiawatha! I, too
hope it rains soon! We need water so much!
Hiawatha smiled.
The gods will not leave us, Arenk, here
you will see.
He turned and looked towards the thicket.
Avoneko with brothers today
