Space Visitors
Science claims that flying saucers don't exist in nature.
But the creators of this movie, fantasists and dreamers,
like to believe that a meeting with the space brothers will certainly happen.
And very soon!
For example, on September 2nd, in the year 2011...
The Centre of Space Research reports
that on the night of September 2nd, 2011,
the communications of all space stations with Earth were periodically interrupted
and restored only after a few minutes.
An explanation for this event is currently unknown.
Many people have seen this sphere.
Witnesses report...
that its flight is accompanied by strange phenomena.
Objects of all kinds
suddenly disappear.
Then, just seconds later, appear back in their old places.
Some scientists suggest
that this visitor from outer space
is searching in an
unfamiliar world
for intelligent beings.
The Centre of Space Research reports:
the Council for Contact with Extraterrestrial Civilisation
has sent to the suspected base of the flying spheres
search groups.
whose mission is to transport this space envoy to the Centre's laboratory and...
Attention.
Central Dispatch Agency.
Commander of the search group speaking.
I see the target.
Central Dispatch Agency speaking.
Try to get near.
Yes.
The object doesn't reveal any threatening signs.
No radioactive emissions, requesting permission to seize it.
Granted.
Attention.
Central Dispatch Agency speaking.
All services of the Council for Contact with Extraterrestrial Civilisation
must get ready to work.
The contact group will conduct an experiment
in the high security laboratory, I repeat:
all services of the Council for Contact with Extraterrestrial Civilisation
must get ready to work.
The contact group will conduct an experiment
in the high security laboratory.
Here it is...
the scout robot.
Attention, high security laboratory speaking.
Beginning... the experiment.
It seems we won't be the only ones doing experiments.
Central Dispatch Agency speaking.
Contact group.
Contact group,
do you hear me?
Why are you silent? Reply.
Contact group?
Dispatch centre, laboratory speaking. - Why are you silent?
What happened? Answer, answer.
They can't hear us.
Don't!
Now is the just the time to start our work.
For a start, let's try to get an infrared image of the sphere.
Professor!
I think they like you most of all.
Look.
Professor.
Light... hurry!
I fear the same thing will happen to us.
Contact group.
If you can hear me,
your module is covered by a strong power field of unknown structure.
We're doing all we can to reach you.
Dispatch Centre, dispatch Centre!
Dispatch Centre!
Look.
What's that?
So, whose turn is it now?
You believe it can...
understand you?
Yes.
Try to prove it.
Look.
I'll destroy it with my laser.
Yeah.
The beam was stopped.
Wonderful!
And now I will...
annihilate it.
Hmm? - Had enough?
Look.
Seems like it's my turn now.
Let's make the trip in maximum comfort.
See you later.
Contact group.
If you can hear us,
don't lose hope!
We're making another attempt
to reach you.

Farewell.
It's not a bad idea,
brother-in-mind.
You're interested in scientists, aren't you?
Walking information repositories?
But how does one locate them amongst the planet's population?
Turns out it was easy as a pie - you simply had to reveal yourselves.
We're simple-minded, we ourselves hurried to you with all our might.
Friends.
Wait a moment.
It seems we're close to our goal.

I112 - Turn on the decoder!

RS8, AB18... - Turn on the decoder!
The scout robot is designed for human abduction.
There must be a spaceship somewhere that it transfers us to.
Search for it, search for the spaceship.
I've...
put on a neutrino beacon.
Take my bearings.
Farewell.
We don't have the ability to immediately locate the alien starcraft's position
because the neutrino beacon was torn away by the sphere and left in the laboratory.
An intensive search for the starcraft is currently in progress.
The visitors' ship...
will... be found.
