thousands of thousands they are just a few
people thousands of people joined the navy here in the
united states they were recruited into the
space fleet and signed a contract
for 20 years such people men and
women were asked to go through
many exams they were given
information about what was required of them
legs to fly to the moon to our base there
they were checked there, they were arranged,
determining the best place where they
should go, their abilities were demonstrated,
this is in which area it is
best to develop, as when entering a
university,
then for a short time they were
sent to Mars, some ended up on a
satellite in St. Petersburg where we have there is a
large base on one of the satellites and
then they were assigned to a specific base
there they served for only a short time before they
were sent to space cruisers,
space fighters and even
spaceships of different
classes of carriers of 1 2 or 4 kilometers in length and
we have 8 battle groups of these ships in
which there is enough space for beginners,
most beginners end up on a
spaceship and carriers or
support ships, some are assigned
to cargo ships,
of course it’s not that interesting, but they also
need people there,
that was the last test that day, I
tried to do it well, I did
about 75 percent tests and I
had a lot of time to finish it and
while I was working on the test
out of the corner of my eye I noticed a corporal
who was walking towards me and
you know at this stage of the preparatory
camp you try not to attract
attention to yourself, keep your head down, fulfill
all their demands
so they don’t they're going to pester you I
noticed that he was walking straight towards me and he
tapped me on the shoulder and asked your name is
Michael Heroes I answered yes and he
said come with me I got worried I
didn't put on the test and I had time to
finish it
I told him about it sir I haven't finished the
tests I still have time he said
just shut up and come with me I did
as he said I followed him down the
hall it was quite a large room
with
4060 recruits sitting and they were all doing a test
he led me through the doors into which
he entered along a short corridor and on the left there
was a small room, he opened the door and
told me to go inside, I went in, I
looked at the room, there was a small
metal table, two metal
chairs opposite each other and nothing else, on the
opposite corner there was another door,
this corporal told me to sit down and what
someone will come to me now another minute
passed through the opposite door
the new captain came in extended his hand to me
greeted me he told me to
relax that he wanted to
talk to me calmly as you understand on the
second day prepare la la guerra everything is
very tense a lot of screaming
when I came into the room, they made it
clear that they wanted me to relax
because they needed to discuss something
seriously, I noticed that the captain was holding a
file in his hand about one and a half centimeters
thick and it was material about me, he
shook my hand, sat down, opened the file,
began to leaf through the papers and he said
that they were impressed by the results of my
tests that I show the qualities that are
needed he said I want to ask you a very
serious question today we want to give
you the opportunity to do something very
special I didn’t understand a little what was being
said asked sir what is required of me
and about what you want to ask me and he
mentioned that they had been monitoring my
development for a while and I realized that
the information in that fal was not only from
those tests that I was only 2 and he had a very
serious expression on his face I felt
that this was getting a serious moment he
said Michael would you like to go into
space and
just like now I grinned I was only
18 years old and
my creation at that time nasa was the
only organization that
was in space nasa was
the only group of people in the usa that
achieved this I grinned I apologize
for my facial expression not changed it was
clear that they were joking so I stopped
smiling and he said I’m speaking quite
seriously I’m asking you a serious question this is
very important for the country this is important for the
world and for humanity we want to give
you the opportunity to become part of this
story and my first question was how
in the ussr are
n't they the only one who
deals with space and he answered very
quickly michael there are things that
the public knows nothing about and we
want to give you the opportunity to be part
of it again I will repeat that this was
extremely important for humanity and the
planet I felt that if I agree to
this will affect my contract and change the
conditions for which I signed up this was
my next question since I signed a
contract for 6 years of reserve what agreement
will affect it
and can I refuse what will happen if I
refuse now and he made it clear that
I have every right to refuse that there
would be no negative consequences for me
but I was worried about how
it would affect the contract that
was signed with the Marine Corps and
it fell without fanfare said Michael this
will be a service rumor for 20 years I was like this
it changes all my plans
I asked sir for the duration of the term service how
often will I be able to see my family
again I was worried about whether I will be able to see my
family during this period and how
often I will be able to see them with a very serious
face without a pause he answered Michael your
family won’t even know that you
were away somewhere very important note that I grew up in the
60s I was born in 1960 I grew up
watching sci-fi shows
like lost in space time
tunnel star trek the
twilight zone this phrase your family
won't even know you were away
[music] the
meaning of this really excited my
imagination it was fascinating to
me I thought for just a few seconds I
raised my hand and said I agree I give my
free consent
his reaction was very positive he
smiled widely and it
was clear that he was very pleased to
hear what I said and he leaned over
and shook my hand again and Michael said,
with participation, it will be so important for this
country, very important for the world and for
humanity, there are many mysteries and we
are trying to solve them, thank you for
agreeing to participate in this, while we were
talking with this young captain,
I did not notice that two other infantrymen
entered the room through the same door that he
was behind me on the right and he pointed
to the infantrymen behind me saying great
great when we're done you'll go with
them and thank you again for
agreeing Michael the
captain said he'd send a telegram to
himself he shook my hand and
thanked me again I left with those two
infantrymen, left the room,
walked a little along the corridor, passed through the
door that led to the stairs and I remember
that there were two flights of stairs, we
found ourselves in a large corridor underground and
in this corridor by a large underground
tunnel at the very beginning of the tunnel there was an
electric car. sit in an
electric car, they will take you to another place
where you will be registered in this program,
I sat down and was dropped off in another place where
in front of the Sigel door there were cadets just like me,
waiting for their turn, I sat down
next to us, they told us that inside we would
fill out the paperwork that is necessary to
register for I didn’t start this service for a long time,
I was invited inside when I went
there, I saw that work in that room
was in full swing,
there were several tables, several
people who, like me, were filling out a huge
pile of papers, it was a specialist
administrator who helped you
fill it all out not before after and I didn’t
see so many papers to fill out, just an
insane amount of papers there were from
us and I finished with the
papers and went out to another area where people were waiting
who had also finished and moved out. In
moments my memories are cut short, this
can best be described as if I
was pulled back through a pipe
back in time or something else similar to
how when we were at school we had these
films with films remember and after
many years of use the film
was torn and glued together
forming a gap in the film that
could be seen on the screen it was
similar to such a gap in the film on
reboot and it was as if I was pulled
back and in my memories
when I woke up and went to sleep and woke up again
in the same room, also the room with that
captain, the
two infantrymen who had previously
accompanied me at the exit from the room
were there and stood on both sides of me
a little ahead of us we were in the same room
with the same gray table, I woke up and
realized that I would fall asleep, I thought I fell asleep sitting
here talking to this captain, I
was horrified, this is disrespect, it shows
me in a bad light, I really
didn’t like it, I started to apologize with all my
might
because I was ashamed of myself I
remember that this captain was sitting calmly and
said no no no don’t worry everything is
fine then he fell silent I then suddenly
remembered that I had just been asked
if I wanted to participate in the space
program
and that I had just filled out all these
papers and that I suddenly returned to the
same room again and talked with the same
captain and I had an obvious physical
reaction, I was very worried in the first
moments and it was clear that they were watching
me and they noticed that I was terrified
but they didn’t do anything They said
about a minute passed, they let me
go through the shock of realizing this, they let
me go to come to my senses and calm down,
and I managed to do it, and although I remember
that a few hours ago
he recruited me into the program, I went around
to fill out all these papers, I did
n’t say anything because I already began
to doubt and thought what was happening,
why do I remember all these strange events,
here I am again sitting here, after a
minute had passed, when I adapted, I calmed down,
this captain started talking to me again,
he returned to praising
me for the results of my tests, saying
what kind of results I would have wonderful career
in the Marine Corps and then Michael said you
can join your platoon and
again I was shocked and confused
but didn’t dare to be persistent and
say hey
you just invited me somewhere I did
n’t say anything like that I stood up he
pointed to me on the door
so that I could return to my platoon, I
stood up, leaned over to shake my hand,
stood with me when I was ready to
go, my hand had not yet left his, he
said Michael, I will definitely send yours to
myself this telegram, and it turns out that
we talked about this telegram twice
completely different times we
talked about it twice and this is how I
remember it at the end of a 20 year service
people are offered to sign up for another 20
years they can serve for another 20 years or
return to the land where they were born and
where they joined the navy if they
decided to return they went through
age regression but now they are
20 years older than when they joined the
space fleet aren't they so after
a few weeks or months of age
regression they were returned to the age of 21
when they enlisted in the fleet so
they served for 20 years then
decided to return to the United States,
but remember that for 20 years
they have had no contact with their families
or anyone else on earth, this is a
prerequisite within a
few weeks,
99 and 99
percent of the memories associated with the
last 20 years of service in space are painlessly removed from their minds and now
they find themselves at home again, if
such a cadet was married and had children, he
returns and his wife is at the same age. It’s an
amazing system, isn’t it, and this
system has been working since 1980
