The sun sank below the horizon, leaving only the endless night sky. Dingo and Angela sat on the roof of the structure, the part that didn’t collapse. The working robot, controlled by Pioneer, was setting up the telescope. He launched the altazimuth mount of the telescope (ED: This wiki page should give an idea of what it actually is: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Altazimuth_mount). It began to move towards the specified observation point. There was a built-in miniature camera in the eyepiece, the image was broadcast on a flatbed monitor.
Angela watched in terror from afar. The fact that the AI acquired its own personality frightened her, she could hardly believe it. Pioneer handed Dingo the flatbed monitor. It was completely black.
“I can’t see anything.”
In the infrared light, a silhouette of a s.h.i.+p appeared.
“Wow, it’s huge.”
Dingo blurted out as soon as he saw the s.h.i.+p on the monitor. The main part of the s.h.i.+p resembled a corolla of a flower. The propulsion system was at the end, a long nozzle with a magnetic field monitoring system to direct the plasma flow, a cooling panel, and a thermonuclear reactor.
“This is the s.h.i.+p destined to conquer distant s.p.a.ce.”
“Yes, this is the Ark.”
Dingo called Angela. She got closer to the monitor.
“It’s length… How long is it?”
“Lagrange point 3…”
Angela bit her lip.
“That’s it,” Dingo said understanding everything.
Deva is located at Lagrange point 1, which is in the opposite direction. The rocket isn’t visible from there.
“If the goal was just exploring, then why such secrecy?”
Pioneer answered.
“And Deva turned out to be not as all-knowing and powerful as it was thought to be.” Angered, Angela’s lips tightened. Putting back the telescope, the three of them got down from the roof. To prove that he was not lying, Pioneer was telling everything that was in the building. Through cameras, he showed them experiments in a vacuum, tests under turbulent conditions, a parabolic antenna for satellite tracking, and a Doppler radar dome for weather observation. He even took them to the very heart, the server room. There was a mainframe of a quantum computer, and many servers. The computer technology was similar to Deva’s earlier technology, but it had been constantly improved. This explained how he could penetrate Deva. “And is it okay that you’re showing us all of this?” Dingo asked. Angela looked at Dingo angrily but stayed silent. Dingo said in a treacherous tone. “Barge into here on an Arhan and none of this would have happened.” “Idiot.” Angela puffed her cheeks. They got into the elevator and headed for the underground room. Dingo asked Pioneer. “But why did you have to hack into Deva?” “Then why didn’t you immediately go to negotiate with Deva?” “Deva views your actions as attacks.” “That’s bold.” Angela, about whom they simply forgot, showed discontent.
