Surface coated with organic silicon compounds
with inclusions of metals and oxides.
Atmosphere poisonous.
Don't worry, those are bio-robots.
You can get out,
the air here is breathable.
You have grown, Julia.
Although when I was just a dog,
you seemed big and omnipotent to me.
But now I understand and evaluate everything differently.
Rex, what's wrong? It's me - Julia.
We came to help you.
- Oh, ay! - Julia!
- Oh, I'm afraid! - Caution!
Oh! Oh!
Rex!
Let go, ah!
It's not me. Sorry, Julia, I can't help it.
Calm down. I still do not know you people very well.
- Who are you? - I am the one who used to be Rex.
But that was so long ago, that it's as if thousands of years have passed.
Yes, it's me - Harper.
Rather, what is left of me.
Well, well.
What did you say?
Nothing much. It seems to have ended.
Yeah, it's not easy here.
But now you are safe.
What has he done to you?
Rex? On the contrary, he tried to save me.
He created this for me
as I did for him.
Moreover, he too did it out of good intentions.
- Is it revenge? - If only...
It is all much more complicated.
He really did save my life.
If this existence can be called life.
As you can see, on the surface I have not changed at all,
but you cannot imagine the powers I now possess.
Have a seat, the story will be a long one.
Where is Harper?
Harper does not... have his usual appearance now.
But more on that later, let's spare Julia's psyche.
Just now, you didn't care for it that much.
Do you really think that these were my tricks?
But, first things first.
In the beginning everything went fine.
But, when the program was almost completed,
mutations began to occur.
Silicon viruses were responsible.
Yes, this planet hosts non-carbon-based life.
It is what generates the gravitational field
that stabilizes Mira's orbit.
I learned to control them as well.
In the end, the entire mass of silicon life was absorbed by me.
Gradually I learned
to filter out positive mutations.
But the growth of cities brought changes
to the character of local life.
This unbalanced the planet's gravitational field
and led to a disruption in the activities of the luminaries.
As a result, Mira was exposed to radiation.
Harper suffered especially -
he received a lethal dose of radiation.
I had to save him the same way
as he had once saved me.
Using the material of his body, I used cloning to create
several doubles of him.
And I plugged his head
into an autonomous life support system.
In the future, I was going
to attach Harper's head to the body one of his doubles.
But the surgeons of Earth will be able to do this better.
I will miss you all.
Especially you - Julia.
Me too, Rex.
No matter, when you grow up
I will grow cities and birch groves here.
You will fly to me
and we will yet run upon the green lawns of Mira.
All right, it's time.
You have no idea how I miss Earth.
And people.
It was due to my joy
that I nearly killed you back then in the cave
I was impatient
to quickly take you to the hall.
But I hadn't really learned yet
to manage the biomass.
Also, the mutations were interfering.
Even Rex doesn't always succeed...
- Look, she's following us.
- Who? - The planet.
Mira!
Awesome!
Now Mira will be next to the Earth,
and I'll be able to visit Rex.
Ha-ha-ha! Our solar system
will gain another planet
that can support life!
Let me see, too!
Hmmm...
Even I could not have imagined this.
You know, after all, AMBA
does not only mean "AutoMorphic Bioarchitectural Assemblage".
In the name of my brainchild
also lies another meaning. * * (Amba = "All up", "Kaput")
Amba is the end of the technocratic phase
of development of the Earth's civilization.
I'm afraid no one can predict what your pet is capable of.
After all, he has now become our brother in reason
while significantly besting us in development... our big brother.
Well... the planet cannot, I think,
follow us into subspace.
And flying to earth on its own power
will take it thousands of years.
Hopefully, we will have time enough to prepare for the meeting...
