The spacecraft Ares was making a solitary journey through the interstellar space. The five astronauts were trapped in the tin missile, entirely dependent on the board system of life sustenance as well as the almighty computer directing Ares towards its destination. Having nothing interesting to do, no contact with Earth, no orders and no teleconferences, they enjoyed the sweet surfing across virtual reality.rn"Checkmate, Colonel" - the computer's metallic voice roused the expedition's commander, Ivan Siemionov, from his meditations. He was floating freely in his cabin with his Personal Computer RED-2015 on his head. The computer had the shape of a helmet with dark goggles for the eyes, so it did not take up much room. Connected to human neurons, it excellently stimulated its owner's mood and facilitated communication with the outer world, without the necessity of looking at it. The computer's owner had the possibility of choosing the picture as well as the worlds he wanted to watch.
