Darrell didn't have to fill out any forms. Seven minutes after the interview began, he was confirmed as a member of the company's staff, which did not want to make public any legal aspects of its activities. For curbing interest in this issue, they offered a salary that exceeds three and a half times the average salary in the region. And ten percent was given out immediately as an advance.

They didn't say exactly what the job was, but they offered to do what Darrell really wanted to do. He always wanted to create! The man didn't ask for any documents, phone number, or home address. He just gave out a wad of new bills, and told the guy to be at the same time tomorrow at the southern exit of the city. The next day, near the stele, Darrell picked up a tinted sedan and delivered it to the base, where it was handed over to Alvin.

Alvin was a worthy colleague, mentor, and boss all rolled into one. He never once allowed himself to use his position in dealing with Darrell. Pressure from his side probably never experienced even his cat. Darrell was no layman in the field of molecular physics, and had more than a General idea of how closely chemical knowledge borders on the physical properties of objects. But Alvin had a lot to learn. He had been working at the lab for four years, and had earned a reputation and a couple of million dollars. Darrell liked the prospect. He quickly got involved in the work and within two months gave the first serious results.

"Mr. Oliver?" "I'm grateful to you for giving me such a big-headed assistant." He suggested a radical solution, and I finally finished the orange stamp. The experiment was conducted on forty-eight rats, and we got a hundred percent result. As soon as the volunteers are ready, we are ready to conduct a human trial.

"Alvin, you surprise me," said Oliver, looking sternly at the tight – knit work of the labourers, " when people have voluntarily made any sacrifices?" No matter how much we buy the lowest, promising strata of society – they are not ready to go to experiments. Moreover, they must not know what these experiments are. Why would they need money? They won't have time to spend it anyway.

"What should we do?"

Oliver pulled out his cell phone and dialed a number.

– How many people do you need to conduct the experiment?"what is it?" he asked as the phone rang.

Alvin chewed on his lower lip:

– If there are natives of China, European samples, preferably a couple of blacks and representatives of the Indian lands… it would be good to have ten or fifteen people.

Oliver spoke into the phone:

"Did you hear everything?" Perform.

After that Oliver hung up and just said:

"You'll get your test samples in two days. In the meantime, you can rest. Take Darrell to the coast and I'll book you a cabin. You will meet there in an informal atmosphere. Unwind. At the same time, discuss this project.

Oliver handed over the folder he had been holding.

"I'm interested in your General opinion on this," he finished, and left the base.

***

On the coast it was quite comfortable. Well-kept houses, fenced territory, clean sand and no people.

"This is our Corporation's private beach," Alvin explained, " and we come here a few times a year to relax. The place is Paradise. Meals are provided by the company. All inclusive also includes massage, steam room, tennis court at our service, gym, all those scooters, surfing when there is a wave and skill…

Alvin didn't finish. Darrell looked in the direction of the scooters, and Alvin stared at a mulatto woman in a red bathing suit carrying two cocktails in the direction of the guys.

"Yes… my friend, and this is all for us too…," he added, breaking into a smile.

The second girl with very prominent forms followed the first, taking off her swimsuit on the move…

…

Oliver's project was not particularly new. He was trying to create a virus that could infect a specific group of people. The main condition of the virus was – variability. In other words, the same virus must have an interchangeable stamp. For example, today our target is Japanese blood carriers. Tomorrow, African-Americans and residents of the African continent have become Disfavored. The day after tomorrow, for example, the Italians or the French may fall out of favor. But the same Frenchman does not only live in France. And the requirement may be that such people do not remain on Earth at all! Accordingly, it is necessary to cover the entire world with a wave of the virus, so that only those who are not the target remain unharmed. The idea called for a single universal virus that could be used to target different targets without being detected under medical conditions. People die and die, and why, from what… no one should have understood that. And even more so to try to resist it.

"What do you think," Alvin asked Darrell when both boys had read the assignment.

"It's an interesting topic. Frankly speaking, I have little faith in the fact that by some chemical means… or rather not even by chemical means, but in General by an artificial tool, whatever its nature, it is possible to make changes in the Creator's plan. Such toys are expensive not only for humanity, but also for those who created them, or are trying to create them.

"I don't worry too much about it, Darrell. My philosophy is much simpler. Show me one person who has sinned? Are all sinners. From an early age, a person begins to cheat, to cheat. She can't even talk, but she's already manipulating her parents by shouting. So what did these people do to earn their right to exist? Everyone has something to answer for, so let them answer for it.

"And you?"

"I'm the first one." I grew up in poverty, of lack of love and constant betrayal. What did God expect when he made me like this? It is naive to think that I will love people after this. If I had my way – I would remove such a link as humanity from the entire system of biogeocenosis. And at the same time, no other chain will suffer, this is a scientific fact. The earth will continue to live and thrive… only now without garbage… in every sense of the word. So one way or another… I am doing everything in my power to remove sorrow, suffering, and ignorance from the Earth.
