- Good afternoon, - I say.
The secretar online tramadol ry's face changes a little.
- Good afternoon, - she replies. online tramadol The voice is soft and nice, looks like
I was switched to Russian online tramadol employee.
- I need to meet with the management, - I begin wi online tramadol ithout ceremonies.
says the program, - When should I expect you b online tramadol back?
I look at the screen: the woman's face is floating online tramadol there, framed by
orange sparks, the young and cute face but nothi online tramadol ing special. I'm tired of the
model beauty.
- I don't know.
online tramadol
- I'd like to have 10 minutes for self adjustment..
- online tramadol Okay, but not more. I'll need all resources in 10 minutes.
T online tramadol The face on the screen frowns: the program extracts the keywords.

- Only 10 minutes, - says Windows-Home obediently,r restau online tramadol urant can be compared with the virtual one. They
always cook gr online tramadol reat here. You never have to wait to be served. The huge dose
of online tramadol alcohol won't cause hangover.
But having a real life experi online tramadol ience, one really can feel drunk... and
subconsciousness dives online tramadol into the alcohol drug cheerfully. They say that the
body's natu online tramadol ural narcotics - endorphines start being produced then. True or
online tramadol
not, intoxication doesn't disappear instantly when one exits virt online tramadol tuality.
- Sorry, may I nt, - Are you new in
the deep?
online tramadol - In what? Ah yes.. new.
- It's a bad form to put on app online tramadol pearances of famous people, and also the
sign of newbie. Tr online tramadol ry to construct your own personality... use
'Bioconstruc online tramadol ctor' for instance and work a little.
- 'Bioconstructor'? - a online tramadol asks the guy confused.
- Yes. A very simple program with Rus online tramadol ssian interface, it is scattered
around on all servers in the no online tramadol ovice directories.

The wide steep stairway leads down from online tramadol m the city wall. We descend. The
good-natured guard before me, th online tramadol he wheezing ill-wisher behind me. I ignore
him carefully, lookin online tramadol ng at the bald patch of the friendly one. He has a big
wart exa online tramadol actly on his cinciput. Interesting, online tramadol is it really drawn or m online tramadol my
subconsciousness tricks me? It's not reasonable to leave the online tramadol deep just to
check such a trifle though.
The Al-Kabar bl online tramadol lock is not big, not more than a square- Dire straits again?
online tramadol - No, not really.
- I have a couple of bottles of 'Baltic' online tramadol '...
- I's 'Guinness' here, - I declared proudly. Maniac online tramadol c looked at the
canister thoughtfully and hurled:
- You per online tramadol rvert...
I followed him to the small neat kitchen and asked c online tramadol cautiously:
- Where's... yours...?
- With her folks.
online tramadol - Quarreled again?
- Why quarreled? - said Maniac indign online tramadol nantly, - Does the wife's not being
at home immediately mean that online tramadol t we quarrelock illegally...

- Oh, sure! We have no online tramadol o complaints whatsoever, Mr Diver. Except maybe...

small mirror.

online tramadol
terms in my translation in order not to outrage the people (not t online tramadol too much at

3). FIDO online tramadol O
Some more confusion can be caused by Lukjanenko's tec I tur online tramadol rn around - the huge wolf, up to my chest in height, emerges
from online tramadol m the bush.
- Maybe for you, - I answer admiring the wolf. He online tramadol ell, he's awesome! He's
really gray, and not simply gray but of ex online tramadol xact blackish/grayish wolfs' color.
The fur is felted here and the online tramadol ere, a burdock is stuck to the right forepaw.
- Shouldn't I online tramadol eat you, Mr Nice Guy? - asks the wolf and bares his
teeth, h online tramadol his fangs are yellow like smoker's, one is missing totally.
I online tramadol I improvise mockingly, - Why woulter and lighter - the data flows online with no prescription online tramadol s
into my computer. I dodge between the trees, then stop so online tramadol that it'd be
easier for Windows-Home to download the file. The dr online tramadol ragon's roar reaches me,
it haven't found the apple and understoo online tramadol od what happened. Who is faster?
The dragon flies up again online tramadol n. It will find me easily - movements in
virtuality leave trac online tramadol ces. I just stand still and wait.
- File transfer completed.
online tramadol
Yes! I won!
- Exit, - I order.
- Really? - asks online tramadol Windunder the
wall.
- Do you want me to calm you down?
online tramadol His voice is ice cold and doesn't promise anything good.
I online tramadol I sit down on the floor, squeeze my head with hands and whisper:
online tramadol - Assholes... Fucking assholes..
- We don't care about y online tramadol your pranks in the Deep, diver. The theft is bad,
but it was high online tramadol time for Urman to get knocked on the nose.
I'm whining quiet online tramadol tly, rocking from side to side.
Man Without Face ignores my p online tramadol performance.
- The crime always existk it, to showcross the b online tramadol bridge. This means I'll be warmly welcomed there.
The single online tramadol that tries to fight the crowd is doomed, in any space, even
virt online tramadol tual one.
Well, nothing else to do. It's time to go... along online tramadol the hair bridge.
Honestly, this procedure is almost im online tramadol mpossible, even for the
professional rope-walker. This brid online tramadol dge is just that: the thread above the
chasm. The towers of Al- online tramadol -Kabar are alluring and unreachable in the distance.
Abyss-ab online tramadol byss... I'm notking guy demonstrating some complicated
moves. In online tramadol the open air type cinema called 'Movies' the imposing man gestures online tramadol s
energetically standing before the screen. I peek inside and hear online tramadol r:
- Cheap stuff! This movie is a disgusting cheap stuff!
online tramadol Boring-boring-boring, Ladies and Gentlemen...
Alexandrian online tramadol ns are probably right: we have turned the virtual world into
the online tramadol parody of the real one, but parodies are never better than the ori online tramadol iginal,
their goal is different: to mock it, to showcross the brid online tramadol dge. This means I'll be warmly welcomed there.
The single tha online tramadol at tries to fight the crowd is doomed, in any space, even
virtual online tramadol l one.
Well, nothing else to do. It's time to go... along the online tramadol e hair bridge.
Honestly, this procedure is almost impos online tramadol ssible, even for the
professional rope-walker. This bridge online tramadol is just that: the thread above the
chasm. The towers of Al-Kab online tramadol bar are alluring and unreachable in the distance.
Abyss-abyss online tramadol s... I'm not yours...
gets closer. I look at it trying to u online tramadol understand
what have changed since my last time here. It seems to online tramadol o me that tower at the
right wing was missing before.
The se online tramadol ection car passes the frozen train, new and clean one, with people
online tramadol
sitting by its windows. Their bodies are covered by some grayish online tramadol h film. This
is the refugees' train that the aliens had burned whe online tramadol en it attempted to leave
the Twilight City. I look at the 'refu online tramadol ugees' that sit decorously along the
windows. Oh yeah. Lamerse ad online tramadol dded. And of course, new players
have arrived: game addicts who ca online tramadol an't imagine their lives without shooting on
the streets of Twilig online tramadol ght City.
It's an interesting game, mainly because it online tramadol requires constant
communication with other people, not jus online tramadol st 'fighting to death' like in
'Mortal Combat', not diplomatic online tramadol notes and threats exchange like in 'C&C' but
direct communication online tramadol n: making unions, convincing others, some small worldly
wisdoms. online tramadol ...
But just what so unusual .
Several seconds - and a online tramadol hundred of grands flow into my account. This is
much, very much! online tramadol Many years of serene life in virtuality.
- Will you agree fo online tramadol or the further cooperation?
I open my checkbook and look at t online tramadol the figure with pleasure, then I write
a check for 50000 and give online tramadol e it to the Werewolf.
- It's quite possible.
- What abo online tramadol out a permanent contract?
- No.
- What are you afraid o online tramadol of, diver? - there's a curiosity in Shellerbach's
gaze.
What online tramadol t am I ges.
'C&C' is a strategic game, it's virtual space i online tramadol is the whole planet. On
this humble target range those never-to-b online tramadol be Napoleons and overnight tramadol Zhukovs eternally
fight for the world's dominan online tramadol nce commanding nonexistent armies in imaginary
headquarters. Tan online tramadol nk tracks are rattling there and missiles fly up to the
skies, online tramadol , new terrible weapons are being developed, world's capitals are b online tramadol being
burned to ashes by nuclear explosions. One doesn't need to online tramadol be quick or keen
in this game, strategic ead, - agrees the wolf online tramadol f gazing around.
I half close my eyes.
Abyss-abyss, I'm online tramadol m not yours... let me go, abyss...
I shivered slightly and online tramadol stood up; tiny screens before my eyes, the
desert, the chasm, online tramadol the statue and the city in the distance is on them, very
nice dr online tramadol rawing. Al-Kabar has good designers.
The virtual helmet is h online tramadol heavy, one of the most sophisticated models by

About the Author:
Sergey Lukjanenk online tramadol ko, 30, is one of the today's most popular Russian
Sci-Fi wri online tramadol iters. His first works were published in 1988. Currently his online tramadol s
bibliography includes more than 40 titles of novels and short s online tramadol stories. The
Author defines his genre as the "hard action scien online tramadol nce fiction", but all his
works also have a very well defined phil online tramadol losophical aspect. The novel offered
to your attention was writte online tramadol en in 1997 and became the real 'cult book' of the
Russian Internet online tramadol t.
Sergey is married, he lives in Moscow.
TH online tramadol HE NOVEL "LABYRINTH OF REFLECTIONS" IS COPYRIGHTED BY SERG online tramadol GEY
LUKJANENKO, ALL RIGHTS ARE RESERVED BY THE AUTHOR. ANY COMMERC online tramadol CIAL USE OF THE
NOVEL'S TEXT IS STRICTLY PROHIBITED.
Several online tramadol notes for the reader:
1). My English sucks. So it was ob online tramadol bviously way too presumptuous of me to
try to make a translation l online tramadol like this. It was my love to this book only that
made me to vent online tramadol ture into this adventure. ;-) I was hoping that this novel is
rea online tramadol ally worth your kind attention (despite my ugly
English?).
online tramadol 2). Some opinions expressed in this book by the main or online tramadol other
characters, as well as some words/terms used, might be cons online tramadol sidered offensive
to some Western readers. In fact, one such sit online tramadol tuation was even showed closer
to the end of the order tramadol novel itself online tramadol f. The concept of "PC" (aka 'Political
Correctness') does not online tramadol really exist in Russia which fact IMHO makes the life
much easier online tramadol r 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
