Er-Mangali - a mining planet that you will not leave, tightly closed by the autonomous system "Quarantine," which, it seems, no one is free to remove, even the Galactic Alliance, which launched it. It is clear that the closeness of the planet is beneficial to someone. Slave labor for the benefit of the Alliance enriches not only the external transgalactic system, but also the local kings. The goals of the once announced quarantine are more than vague. At the same time, the reason has not yet been studied: a pandemic of a zombie disease, the waves of which either fade away or flare up again. Who just did not try to find its immediate cause, or at least find someone to blame! Under these conditions, the one who unravels the ball will easily become the main suspect.
