It is a great honor to be the ephor of the emperor himself. Great responsibility. Niklas Kwali did not cope with the task. No, he saved the planet Lio from attack by an enemy fleet. He was wounded himself, lost his wife. But all his actions were regarded as an unjustified risk. So the ephor goes into exile on a planet forgotten by God, not even part of the Federation. He can only conduct observations or collect data. No interference in the affairs of states. He was not going to find out anything. Arriving in Moscow, he exchanged a couple of diamonds for money, hired a taxi driver and went for a ride around the city. I learned from the driver that it was noisy and vain in the Russian capital. In Ukraine, where the taxi driver is from, war. But in Belarus, peace and quiet. What is needed. Niklas took a train ticket to Minsk. He asked the Brain, a faithful companion, assistant and sweet tooth, for all the necessary information about the country and went to meet a new life - in silence, peace and exile. The main thing is not to interfere in the affairs of earthlings. They themselves will figure it out, and he is forbidden. Only, according to the data of the Network, people have created a complete mess on their planet! This means only one thing - the link ceases to be languid.
