| guys like myself who don't even notice this
barrier.
There wouldn't ever be envy to e breast enhancement Gel each other and eternal hunt.
But is it my fault? I don't know breast enhancement Gel w why it happens myself, what flaw of
consciousness makes one a d breast enhancement Gel diver, and it is of course a flaw since we are
such a minority. It breast enhancement Gel t'd be stupid not to use this ability but too dreadful to
offer it breast enhancement Gel for everyone's study.
That's how it goes: somebody can do breast enhancement Gel long jumps of eight meters,
somebody writes poems, somebody ist breast enhancement Gel t is
still alive.
- All the same diver, the essence doesn't ch breast enhancement Gel hange.
- Well, but today the new legend was born.
- Which breast enhancement Gel h one?
- About Man Without Face.
My interlocutor shakes h breast enhancement Gel his head.
- Hardly will it be so intriguing as the youth breast enhancement Gel dressed in smoking
clothes...
We both laugh quietly.
- breast enhancement Gel So Mr Diver... have you ever played in the 'Labyrinth of Death'?
breast enhancement Gel - Possibly.
- Do you know that two divers cooperate with th breast enhancement Gel hem?
- I can assumndred thousand. Some
psychological assumptio breast enhancement Gel ons follow: like the one that the diver will get rid
of the hot fi breast enhancement Gel ile immediately. Like he'll demand exactly a hundred grands from
the breast enhancement Gel e buyer. Like he'll transfer the money to the very secure account.
breast enhancement Gel No, that can't be... real professionals are working in banks. breast enhancement Gel Nobody
could trace me.
- Let's assume also that two hackers breast enhancement Gel divide the amount equally. And now
it becomes really interesting, breast enhancement Gel , my friend. Money transfers happen every
sowered computer was breast enhancement Gel reproachfully silent on
the table.
- Oh it feels good... - I breast enhancement Gel whispered into the ceiling.
I need to change the apartment, breast enhancement Gel to buy the normal one-bedroom in the
downtown, in a good brick hou breast enhancement Gel use, with the view to the Neva river... not in
this proletarian di breast enhancement Gel istrict, rotten and blown through by all winds.
Then we'll mov breast enhancement Gel ve Vika into new 'apartments': I'll buy the new 'Septium'
brand name breast enhancement Gel e, with preloaded licensed software, with a couple of hundreds Megs
breast enhancement Gel
of her players. It's difficult to say who is more dangerous:
monste breast enhancement Gel ers are armed better but the players are smarter than machin breast enhancement Gel nes
obviously. One can find weapons, defense gear, first-aid sets breast enhancement Gel s and food in
the station building. When one leaves the first level, breast enhancement Gel , he gets to the second
one: the highway full of abandoned cars... breast enhancement Gel and of course, of other players
and monsters. In order to win on breast enhancement Gel ne must reach the 50th level, the ancient
cathedral in the downto breast enhancement Gel own and to destroy the alienmall room, the table
in the middle of i breast enhancement Gel it, computer wires from the UPS go to the computer, the
thinner w breast enhancement Gel wire plugged into the phone jack. The sofa stands by the wall, under
breast enhancement Gel
the luxury carpet, the small fridge is by the opened door to the breast enhancement Gel e balcony.
The necessary minimum. Five minutes ago I checked what's breast enhancement Gel s in the fridge, so
I'm not threatened by hunger for today.
I breast enhancement Gel I turn my head, to the left, to the right - the light darkens in breast enhancement Gel my
eyes for the moment, but it's only a moment. Nen the paupers and breast enhancement Gel d miserable ones into information
storage, let's become impulses in breast enhancement Gel the electronic network...
- Leonid, you know the teaching of A breast enhancement Gel Alexandrians through hearsay only. -
says Nadya with conviction, - C breast enhancement Gel Come visit our Church some time.
I shrug. Possibly I will som breast enhancement Gel me time, but there's plenty of interesting
places in the deep. The w breast enhancement Gel whole lifetime isn't enough to visit all of them.
- I have to breast enhancement Gel go, - Nadya stands and throws a coin at the bar, - I have
half an breast enhancement Gel hour monotes Guillermo for some reason, - Yes? Any
codes that gi breast enhancement Gel ive nonsusceptibility or full weaponry and gear to the player
wou breast enhancement Gel uld be figured when one talks about half a million. Any service ch breast enhancement Gel hannel
would be found and used. We would be forced to pay pri breast enhancement Gel ize amounts too
often... or to be exact, never.
- But how do breast enhancement Gel your divers work?
- They had passed "Labyrinth" previously. breast enhancement Gel . They have records on all
levels, in all dangerous places. They breast enhancement Gel need just a couple of minutes tails and
files. FIDO uses its own pr breast enhancement Gel roprietary protocol. Special gateways are used to
exchange emails breast enhancement Gel with the Internet. Look at www.fidonet.org for more
details breast enhancement Gel s... But be prepared to get back not the homepage, but some HTML code breast enhancement Gel e.
{G} The guys have forgot to put the {HTML} tag into the code of breast enhancement Gel f their main
page... OOPS.
4). The names.
The same name breast enhancement Gel in Russian usually can have several forms, reflecting the
attitude breast enhancement Gel of the one who pronounces the name to the one named. Too in my ti breast enhancement Gel ime, it was extremely seldom when
those bugs managed to bring any i breast enhancement Gel interesting info.
- Lenia, the complaint from tenant #1 was breast enhancement Gel received by the "Polyana"
company.
I mumble, - Ignore it, - breast enhancement Gel watching the man that walks along the street.
Gee, this is somet breast enhancement Gel thing! The mixture of younger Arnold Shwarzenegger and
older Clin breast enhancement Gel nt Eastwood. Very funny. The man notices my sarcastic look and
breast enhancement Gel
walks faster.
I raise my hand and the yellow limo stops breast enhancement Gel by the sidea. But the former wolf
already grabs me by my shoulde breast enhancement Gel ers and throws over the stump shouting, - No
time for this bull!
breast enhancement Gel
It's a small pleasure to be affected by the foreign morphing pr breast enhancement Gel rogram. I
just have time to say: "Vika, freeze" to prevent the caref breast enhancement Gel ful Windows-Home to
resist the change.
For a long time wasn't breast enhancement Gel I in the wolf's hide, since when virtuality just
appeared and every breast enhancement Gel ybody had fun with morphing. Luckily, I don't have to stand
on all f breast enhancement Gel fours, I change only visually. I ta'll not be
a shame to invite fri breast enhancement Gel iends then.
I rose, padded to the fridge and took out a can of breast enhancement Gel beer. I don't drink
before noon usually, but it's almost 1PM alrea breast enhancement Gel ady. What a good time I woke up
at!
The light 'Schultheiss' se breast enhancement Gel eemed almost strong in the morning. It's over,
good bye 'Amsterdam-N breast enhancement Gel Navigator' and 'Bavaria-86', the good friends of poor
hackers. Fr breast enhancement Gel rom now on - only 'Guinness', 'Heineken', 'Kilkenny'... and
i breast enhancement Gel instead of Belgian boiled sausage the decent Moscow 'servel again.
breast enhancement Gel
- The one not on your mercy, - the twin keeps distracting the g breast enhancement Gel guard.
- Whose mercy you're on then?
- Only mine.
I breast enhancement Gel Interesting, how many more different deaths did the monster save f breast enhancement Gel for
the thieves? Just look at his teeth... horns.. well, even the p breast enhancement Gel phallus might
do too..
- Why did you come here?
- To fin breast enhancement Gel nd the power over myself.
- Go ahead and find it.
The pal breast enhancement Gel lm opens, the monster turns into stone. The twin stands on the
ed breast enhancement Gel dge of the palm problem is this Gunslinger? Yes?
1011
No breast enhancement Gel o ordinary Deeptown inhabitant can exit the deep by himself: he'l breast enhancement Gel ll
just never see the computer, won't be able to enter the exit com breast enhancement Gel mmand or to
contact the operating system with voice. It's only i breast bust enhancer enhancement Gel in virtual houses with
drawn analogs of real computers installed w breast enhancement Gel where subconsciousness breast enhancement Gel gives a
kind break. One can exit the de breast enhancement Gel eep only where it was entered: in his
imaginary home which migh breast enhancement Gel ht be a palace or a hut but with a 'real version... fucked up my bra breast enhancement Gel ains for three days until managed to tune it
up..." While I have Wi breast enhancement Gel indows-Home for two years already.
- Everybody gets what suits breast enhancement Gel them best... - admitted Maniac, and asked
suddenly, - Hey Leni breast enhancement Gel ia, how did you manage to burglarize Al-Kabar using
Windoze by th breast enhancement Gel he way?
I looked aside.
- There female enchancement href="cavalier6.html">breast Intense were rumors on the Net t breast enhancement Gel that two divers have swindled Al-Kabar,
- said Maniac insinuatingly. breast enhancement Gel .
I made the last attempt to deviate:
- Why two? Oneglass breast enhancement Gel ses.
- Or this, - Maniac went on, - Do you know "Labyrinth of D breast enhancement Gel Death"?
- Yes, - I sobered up in an instant.
- I decided breast enhancement Gel to have some fun not long ago, and entered the 17th level
directl breast enhancement Gel ly. They added so many stuff there recently! It's a nightmare of breast enhancement Gel a female sexual tonic
game... well, in brief, I was stuck.
- What do you mean?
breast enhancement Gel - I couldn't pass to the next level, but without passing it th breast enhancement Gel he exit
menu doesn't pop up.
- And?...
- And I was s breast enhancement Gel sitting there for , - Gunslinger and Alex!
The fog dissipate breast enhancement Gel es slightly. We're standing by the section car that
rests on the breast enhancement Gel e rusted rails. Two overalls are scattered on it together with
two breast enhancement Gel o mask helmets and two guns. All our 'fellow travelers' have van breast enhancement Gel nished
somewhere. We check the chargers and change.
- There'l breast enhancement Gel ll be a trap by the station building, this is obvious... -
mutte breast enhancement Gel ers Alex, - We can't relax... Where are you from, Gunslinger?
- breast enhancement Gel - From Mommy and Daddy.
No more questit in time: the dragon ap breast enhancement Gel ppears above the
trees. It swoops on us and releases three flame st breast enhancement Gel treams. The fire flares up
right on our way.
- Run! - screams breast enhancement Gel my partner and adds in a whisper, - See you tonight,
at the usual breast enhancement Gel l place...
I jerk sharply, throw him down from my back and flee breast enhancement Gel e, hurled by curses.
The dragon circles above for little lon breast enhancement Gel nger, then lands by the fairy
tale hero. The cowardly partner doesn breast enhancement Gel n't interest him. Just as expected.
I run away, whispering:
e breast enhancement Gel er isn't cheap
itself.
It's no difference in the Deep thou breast enhancement Gel ugh: either 'Bavaria' in cans or
'Guinness' from the
barrel, the breast enhancement Gel cost is the same. Now I managed to stop the car much quicker, or it breast enhancement Gel was just
the time running faster? I jumped into the rattling 'V breast enhancement Gel Volga' and shouted
cheerfully:
- Whip it up to Maniac!
breast enhancement Gel A pair of very big and round eyes gazed at me.
- Get out, - sa breast enhancement Gel aid the driver in the same brief manner.
When stopping the nex breast enhancement Gel xt volunteer to earn ealy wind, the full goblet in my
hand, blui breast enhancement Gel ish grey clouds swirling above. It'll be snowing tomorrow, if
' breast enhancement Gel 'tomorrow' existed in virtuality.
I take a sip, - I wish I knew breast enhancement Gel w where this river was taken from.
- More beautiful place never breast enhancement Gel r have I seen in my life... - pronounces the
Werewolf in a strange v breast enhancement Gel voice.
Oh right, it's like this always. Everybody have their o breast enhancement Gel own associations
and analogies. Maybe this landscape means somethi breast enhancement Gel ing to Roman. For me it's
not more than just aSergey Lukjanenko. La breast enhancement Gel abyrinth of reflections

About the Author:
breast enhancement Gel
Sergey Lukjanenko, 30, is one of the today's most popul breast enhancement Gel lar Russian
Sci-Fi writers. His first works were published in breast enhancement Gel 1988. Currently his
bibliography includes more than 40 titles of breast enhancement Gel novels and short stories. The
Author defines his genre as the "ha breast enhancement Gel ard action science fiction", but all his
works also have a very we breast enhancement Gel ell defined philosophical aspect. The novel offered
to your attenti breast enhancement Gel ion was written in 1997 and became the real 'cult book' of the
Russi breast enhancement Gel ian Internet.
Sergey is married, he lives in Moscow.
breast enhancement Gel
THE NOVEL "LABYRINTH OF REFLECTIONS" IS COPYRIGHTED B breast enhancement Gel BY SERGEY
LUKJANENKO, ALL RIGHTS ARE RESERVED BY THE AUTHOR. ANY CO breast enhancement Gel OMMERCIAL USE OF THE
NOVEL'S TEXT IS STRICTLY PROHIBITED.
Sever breast enhancement Gel ral notes for the reader:
1). My English sucks. So it was obviously way too presumptuous of me to
try to make a translation like this. It was my love to this book only that
made me to venture into this adventure. ;-) I was hoping that this novel is
really worth your kind attention (despite my ugly
English?).
2). Some opinions expressed in this book by the main or other
characters, as well as some words/terms used, might be considered offensive
to some Western readers. In fact, one such situation was even showed closer
to the end of the novel itself. The concept of "PC" (aka 'Political
Correctness') does not really exist in Russia which fact IMHO makes the life
much easier and slightly reduces the amount of stupidity that inevitably
presents in this life. Despite that, I definitely had to use the 'softened'
terms in my translation in order not to outrage the people (not too much at
least). But of course, something might have still leaked out. Please
consider yourselves warned.
3). FIDO
Some more confusion can be caused by Lukjanenko's technical details and
descriptions of the Net due to one more fact: he writes from the point of
view of the person who was once the FIDOnet member. Also it seems that
Sergey himself was mostly affiliated with FIDO at the time of this book's
writing. The principles of FIDO's system organization differ from the ones
of the Internet. I never was FIDO member, so I know very little. In general,
it's free, amateurs' network that allows its members to exchange emails and
files. FIDO uses its own proprietary protocol. Special gateways are used to
exchange emails with the Internet. Look at www.fidonet.org for more
details... But be prepared to get back not the homepage, but some HTML code.
{G} The guys have forgot to put the {HTML} tag into the code of their main
page... OOPS.
4). The names.
The same name in Russian usually can have several forms, reflecting the
attitude of the one who pronounces the name to the one named. The number of
these forms is as far as I can judge, much bigger than in English. That's
why in my translation I preferred to retain the original rules of forming
such names and to provide this note. Another important reason is that the
Russian name changed according to the rules of doing so in English would
sound ridiculous (maybe for me only, as I'm Russian... ;-) ), not mentioning
that it's not always possible to do this with Russian names at all. Example:
John - Johnny. Now try to do the same with, say, my name: Yuri. Yup... My
point exactly. Below is the example of how the first name of the main
character can be 'bent'. The same often happens to other names in the book.
For inexperienced reader it might be confusing, so I apologize... Russia
*is* confusing by definition, so bear with it. :-)
Leonid - the complete name.
Lenia (should be read roughly as Lyo-nee-aa; don't pronounce 'double
lettered' sounds as too long ones though) - this is slightly diminutive,
friendly form used by relatives and friends.
Lenechka (Lyo-nee-chka) - a "pet-name" form, sometimes also used with
sarcasm, depending on the context.
Lenchik - "pet-name"/unceremonious address.
Len'ka ( here ' means softening of the previous sound, 'n' in this name
sounds like 'n' in the word 'change') - Unceremonious address, a bit
slighting. Often used by close friends without any offensive context.
... and so on. No more forms are used in the book, so I'd better not
confuse you any more.
Another trick is how the names are formed n general. In particular, the
concept of the middle name in Russia. It is not 'given', but rather is the
father's name. To be used as a middle name, special endings are attached:
-ovich, -evich for man's middle name (yeah, they are gender specific!),
-ovna, evna for female's middle name.
Examples: Petrovich Alekseevich - men's
