As they were leaving the gravity field of Kahlindon Jos has took a blink to the small segment of the sreen showing his own planet. The green-blue sphere seemed a slightly different than in the records. It's just because this is his first long range journey - he thought. As he was looking around he saw the faces of his Second and Third. They were observing the calculations and feedback informations showing up on the screen. They doesn't seem as excited as he felt himself, but he thought that they are just too busy in their duties. After the first 30 minutes of their flight Jos felt that he can relax a bit. He noticed only 2 warnings complaining about operational temperature of two components. It was the first time when he had a look at the stars on the screen behind the informations on it. 2 minutes ago he just passed the point of being the further from home.
- We are at leaping range now, - Takh said - we should start the Leaping sequence, First.
- Proceed then. - said Jos.
Takh just touched a few points at the screen. - We are now swimming. - Takh annnounced.
Jos was glad to has Takh as his Third. They knew each other for long years, and he felt that he is the nearest person to him.
Jos has just got up from his post and headed toward the door - I'm leaving the bridge to you, Second. - and he stepped out to the corridor. He just felt a little trembling as he left the bridge. He approached his cabin's door in quick steps, opened the the door, entered. He touched a sensor next to the door and in a moment the door has been closed shut. He leaned on the opposite wall then just sat on the gound. His mind has been flooded with thoughts and a picture of a strange looking man just began to appear in his mind. He saw this man approaching him, and heard a very strange and frightening voice from the direction of the man. The man almost reached him and Jos has raised his arm above his head unconciously..
