The time will come and a pair of stellar scouts will jump out of the hyper near the star system with the planet Kepler-62f. After scanning the surrounding space and creating a navigation map of the system, the captains will divide the system into two sectors and begin to map it in more detail. Both ships are also looking for the missing Ray of Dawn, which, according to the latest reports, was to emerge from the hyper on the other side of the star system and begin to investigate it in order to obtain preliminary data on suitability for life. But the scout contacted only once and then disappeared. People waited for a short time and the second expedition was urgently formed, whose tasks also included, if possible, finding and clarifying the situation with Luch. Nevertheless, in hyperspace, people began to move not so long ago and sometimes unknown features were revealed, therefore any information was useful. Yes, and rarely scouts here and so take and disappear - it's still an emergency.
The captain of the ship "Dawn of Hope" was lucky - it was he who got half of the system in which the planet Kepler-62f was located. He guessed this half in good faith with the draw - lucky! Approaching the planet, the entire crew crowded in the observation deck, looking at the new planet. The captain looked at the planet and was secretly proud that it was he who was the first to look at it without the use of any technical devices — a direct look. This is the second such planet in his career, although the first is still rejected. New, clean planet, which will become an outpost of humanity in this sector of space. Thoroughly having spoiled the Earth's ecosystem, people now treated much more carefully to other exoplanets, all the more so far not all of them were suitable for comfortable living. The process of terraforming for the adjustment of the atmosphere was rarely carried out on suitable planets, since if the atmosphere was not more or less close to the earth, it took a lot of time. Every newly discovered, prosperous planet was an event. Yes, they “looked for” them according to previously known coordinates, but in reality at the beginning of the 21st century, astronomers “painted” pictures of these planets. But a lot of predictions just did not come true. And it was a yes event! Moreover, the planet was like Earth. Water, land, areas with snow ...
“Maybe it will become a new home,” thought the captain: “Although the first generation is unlikely.” It was a fact - on any planet, the first two waves of settlers wildly yearned for the Earth. Some all threw and left. Despite the subsidies of the central government. Despite the fact that the Earth opened all new technologies first of all for the settlers, it created favorable conditions for the development of the main spheres of life on the new planet - production, agriculture, industry. whatever the starting capital. Still, people experienced discomfort - the color of the green is not the same, the tone of the sky is not the same, the earth feels different to the touch - a bunch of everything is “not everything is there.” Of course, not all were with this worldview, but the vast majority. But then a new generation was born, which considered the planet to be its homeland and didn’t tear too much. On the contrary, to play a football match and win over the arriving earthlings turned into national pride. Here we are! Who knew that there was a secret directive of the central government, according to which the Earth’s sports clubs were obliged to succumb and lose the first 5 years since the planet accepted the settlement status. Directly, of course, it was not implemented, but there was simply a long chain of bribes and bases, which led to the fact that it was more profitable for athletes from Earth to lose. Earth did everything to increase the survival of the human race.

People are just incredibly lucky that in the middle of the 22nd century, in all that wild slaughter of people with each other, wise people came to power. Tough and cruel, uniting the planet, they began the process of space exploration. Incredibly, but the fact is that human civilization with a trend back to the stone age suddenly suddenly, for 80 years this trend has turned sharply upwards. And the real development began. No satellites cast on the orbits of the planets and were sent in batches by the AMC, but the process of osovenie space was carried out with the active use of the people themselves. The Earth created all the conditions for new settlements, except for one thing - only the Space Fleet of the Earth had combat technologies. The captain caught the reflection of the VKS emblem on his chest and grinned. The time flew by so quickly when he, at the age of 19, filed an application for entry into the VKS at the next recruitment and spent the whole day at the main building of the Academy, waiting for the result of its consideration. Legs did not go anywhere, just sat and, hiding, hardly hoping, waited. His girlfriend did not understand him that day and, under some pretext, left after 2 hours of waiting, he could not even speak plainly. Just sat and waited. In VKS recruited people rarely. VKS is not just a dream of youth, it is a prospect. After serving in the videoconferencing system, you can already rely on the acquisition of a decommissioned warship, its re-equipment and self-study of the universe. They paid well for mapping - it was possible not only to live, but to earn money. And the higher your services to the VKS, the greater the class of the ship could claim. "Own ship, i.e. own, really ”- the captain dreamed:“ You can still open a couple of planets, so you can wipe the cruiser, damn it! Although not - too cool, probably, the destroyer will be the very thing. Generations of the sixth. Not new, but ... "
The captain’s thoughts were interrupted by an assistant:
- Captain, call on non-standard channel.
- Custom? Is the North Wind contacting us?
“Captain ... the signal signature is unknown.”
- What???
- It seems that the signal comes from the surface of this planet.
The captain turned sharply toward the viewing panel. From her majestically looking at him a new planet. Is this the "Ray of Dawn"? Or…
