Tonight was meant to be about kink. Our lives are a nightmare of last-minute deployments and near misses, and we needed the break. Instead, we broke. The whole world broke.

The mission comes with a warning: A graveyard world awaits him. But so do those left behind - hopeless and unbeautiful wastes of humanity who should have died out ages ago.

Over a century and a half ago, planetary scientists predicted an environmental crisis threatening to annihilate Koda's humanoid population so the SEEDER program was developed, launching deep-space missions to discover habitable worlds. When no livable planet was found, the SEEDER program was scrapped and the DOME project was initiated.

Они познакомились и стали друзьями, разыскивая наперсный крест святителя и великомученика Сысоя. Расследование, кроме прочего, завело Бага на борт парома «Святой Евлампий», который потерпел крушение из-за схватки, затеянной несколькими сомнительными личностями, причем далеко не все они попали в руки правосудия.
