In the yellowish light of the street lamp, her face looked almost human - only her long ears, sticking out mischievously to the sides, betrayed someone else's blood. She took a drag on her cigarette, exhaled thick smoke to the side, as if it were a camouflage ritual, and covered her gaze with her eyelashes for a second. A draft from a damp gateway brought the smell of wet asphalt and diesel. She raised the collar of her raincoat, checked the fastening of her briefcase. Inside were two things that were incompatible with each other: a neatly bound volume of Lenin, written by hand, and a ritual book of shadows, no less handmade.

Long-Eared Spy

- Cybernetics as such was brought to us by the long-eared ones - Long-eared ones? - Elves - Elves? - Huh? You didn't know? In general, elves exist. Well, as they exist, they practically died out, or as they say, "gone away." They hid for centuries, and in the 50s, for some reason, they decided to open up to the Soviet government. A strange choice, but they were right. Of course, they kept everything secret up to their ears. Cybernetics was eventually discovered only 100 years later, but already as a human invention. The long-eared ones remained in the shadows. But! On full support for the rest of their lives. A kind of state-supported pension for an entire species.

Cybernetics in the service of the proletariat

– You are responsible for the result with your head, Natalya Petrovna! They will never tell you about your parents, or about your failures, but… He hesitated, choosing his words artificially – Your victories will be remembered! They will be remembered not only in the country! The whole world will remember!

Head of Professor Bekhtereva

- Kornei Belfegorich, sorry to bother you, Colonel Zyumin wants to know when you'll come to report to him. What should I tell Gleb Ivanovich? - I'll eat and come, Vasya. I'm in a hurry. Lieutenant Colonel Rogov Kornei Belfegorich is tall and stately, always in good standing with the 9th Directorate of the KGB of the USSR, also known as the cipher department, also known as the department of applied sciences (its visible part for other departments). He loves Russian cuisine like no one else. Honest, moderately cruel, Nordic character, if you know what I mean.

Bokiy’s favorite

In 1957, the first contact was made in Chromsk, but not with aliens, but with elves. They had been living secretly among people for a long time. If it weren't for the personal drama of one of their representatives, we would never have known about them.
