Nadya smiles:

- What? - Guillermo is interested.
- For how long is h a lot of phentermine he there?
- For 39 hours. We trace players since their getting into the system.

is just a game, but h a lot of phentermine he didn't know why it became real and how to exit it.
The only thing he could do in a lot of phentermine this situation was to go until the very

The fog dissipates slightly. We're standing by the section car that
rests on a lot of phentermine n the rusted rails. Two overalls are scattered on it together with
two mask helmets a a lot of phentermine and two guns. All our 'fellow travelers' have vanished

Boring-boring-boring, Ladies and Gentlemen a lot of phentermine n...
Alexandrians are probably right: we have turned the virtual world into

- Excuse a lot of phentermine e me, how many servers did you pass through to come here?
- Unfortunately, I don't r a lot of phentermine remember.
Urman shrugs.
- How may I refer to you?
- Ivan The Prince.
a lot of phentermine Brief pause, then he smiles, Somebody have explained him.
- Oh, the Russian tale a lot of phentermine es' hero! Are you Russian yourself?
- Does it really matter?
- You're absolute a lot of phentermine ely right... Well, Mr Diver, as far as I understand,
you penetrated our block illegall a lot of phentermine ly...
- Oh really?! - I'm in shock.o the prisoner, getting into the car. He
un a lot of phentermine nderstands without translation.. We drive along the highway, I can't resist
and shoot one a lot of phentermine e more trailer using the rocket launcher. Of course I leave the
car firstly... Labyrint a lot of phentermine th"'s creators had a good sense of humor and I don't
want to watch my insides on the car a lot of phentermine r's ceiling at all.

learn to fight a lot of phentermine pretty well. I doubt it though: the hit that one feels with
the help of virtual suit a lot of phentermine is one thing but the real best deals on phentermine steel reinforcement that
you'll be hit with in the street is a a lot of phentermine absolutely different.
And of course there's 'Doom', that very game getting into w a lot of phentermine which had
ushered the beginning of the virtual era.
It's main area is called simpl a lot of phentermine ly "Labyrinth of Death". This really is a
labyrinth: 50 leaniac searched the fridge, a lot of phentermine got the pack of
franks, a piece of cheese, then brought two huge clay glasses from hi a lot of phentermine is room.
I filled them with beer solemnly.
- Gee, it's really 'Guinness'... - adm a lot of phentermine mitted Maniac drawing the letter
'M' on the thick foam.
- For the Love, Shurka.
a lot of phentermine - Um-gm... - Maniac said gloomily and drained his glass, - Yeah. Love.
Shit, the de a lot of phentermine evil tempted me! I had to flee... a couple of lamers was on my

Down with instant coffee!
When for the a lot of phentermine first time in two days I started to shave and cut myself
quite tangibly, New Russian's a lot of phentermine fantasy suggested me to get 'Shick-Protector'
also. Nothing else could come into my min a lot of phentermine nd after that, just some messy ideas
about the second phone line and second modem - in o a lot of phentermine order for Vika to be able
to download mail and do some other simple tasks while I'm tra a lot of phentermine aveling in the
deep.
It's a bit far too much though. Even Maniac doesn't hop the a lot of phentermine car much quicker, or it was just
the time running faster? I jumped into the rattling a lot of phentermine 'Volga' and shouted
cheerfully:
- Whip it up to Maniac!
A pair of very big a lot of phentermine g and round eyes gazed at me.
- Get out, - said the driver in the same brief manner. a lot of phentermine .
When stopping the next volunteer to earn easy money I kept reminding
myself th a lot of phentermine hat I'm not in virtuality where patient Vika will turn the simple
voice command into u a lot of phentermine understandable address.

- Yes.
I open the doo a lot of phentermine or and leave. There's the long corridor with doors
outside, by one of those stands a lot of phentermine Sylvester Stallone looking at his hands with
admiration.
- Hi Sly, - I say passing a lot of phentermine g by. Almost for sure the guy is Russian, and
what's definitely-he's a newbie. best phentermine
- a lot of phentermine Do I really look like him? - asks the guy with hope.
- Yeah... - I stop. The beer m a lot of phentermine makes my mood benevolent, - Are you new in
the deep?
- In what? Ah yes.. new.

some greenish mossy nasty stuff, rifles are in thei a lot of phentermine ir knotty hypertrophied
paws. The austere styled, 'professor' looking glasses remain on a lot of phentermine n the face of
one of them.
I shoot them point-blank, they even have no time to open a lot of phentermine n fire. I change
the charger and approach the bodies. Their rifles are destroyed by a lot of phentermine the
bullets. Pity. One can't go very far with just a gun.
I walk through the buil a lot of phentermine lding: the series of empty befouled halls, blood
pools, walls coverehe distance. Just fu a lot of phentermine unny... Looking where I
step, I started to shift my feet along the thread carefully.
a lot of phentermine It's just a picture. It's no gravity there, the drawn body can't have a

Funny thing, as it tur a lot of phentermine rned out, the bottom of the chasm is not drawn at all,

What am I afraid of, hmm?
- I a lot of phentermine I'm afraid of my name being known. The real freedom is in mystery

- I u a lot of phentermine understand, - Shellerbach agrees and looks at Roman askance, - Are
you the diver too? Or a lot of phentermine r just a walking virus deposit?
- Diver, - says Roman.
- Well... Good luck g a lot of phentermine gentlemen... - Shellerbach pads a step away, then
stops, - Tell me... how is it: to be a a lot of phentermine diver?
- It's very simple, - replies Roman, - One just needs to know that

Abyss-abyss... I'm not yo a lot of phentermine ours...
I closed and opened back my eyes. The picture is before me: the chasm,
the a lot of phentermine e thread, the buildings in the distance. Just funny... Looking where I

It's just a picture. It's no gravity a lot of phentermine y there, the drawn body can't have a

Urman looks at me surprised, makes it more exact:
- Ten thousan a lot of phentermine nd dollars?
- Yes.
- To be honest, even 100 thousand would be not enough... a lot of phentermine . Okay. Let's
assume that I offer 150.000 to the person that tries to steal the file, o a lot of phentermine on

Slight curiosity in a lot of phentermine her voice, it looks like she had no idea that any

Russian Internet.

THE NOVEL "LABYRINTH OF REFLECTIONS" IS COPYRIGHTED BY SERGEY
LUKJANENKO, a lot of phentermine ALL RIGHTS ARE RESERVED BY THE AUTHOR. ANY COMMERCIAL USE OF THE
NOVEL'S TEXT IS STRICTL a lot of phentermine LY PROHIBITED.
Several notes for the reader:
1). My English sucks. So it wa a lot of phentermine as obviously way too presumptuous of me to
try to make a translation like this. It was m a lot of phentermine my love to this book only that
made me to venture into this adventure. ;-) I was hoping a lot of phentermine that this novel is
really worth your kind attention (despite my ugly
English?).
a lot of phentermine 2). Some opinions expressed in this book by the main or other
characters, as a lot of phentermine well as some words/terms used, might be considered offensive
to some Western readers. I a lot of phentermine In fact, one such situation was even showed closer
to the end of the novel itself. a lot of phentermine The concept of "PC" (aka 'Political
Correctness') does not really exist in Russia wh a lot of phentermine hich fact IMHO makes the life
much easier and slightly reduces the amount of stupidity a lot of phentermine that inevitably
presents in this life. Despite that, I definitely had to use the 'sof a lot of phentermine ftened'
terms in my translation in order not to outrage the people (not too much at
least). But of course, something might have still leaked out. Please
consider yourselves warned.
3). FIDO
Some more confusion can be caused by Lukjanenko's technical details and
descriptions of the Net due to one more fact: he writes from the point of
view of the person who was once the FIDOnet member. Also it seems that
Sergey himself was mostly affiliated with FIDO at the time of this book's
writing. The principles of FIDO's system organization differ from the ones
of the Internet. I never was FIDO member, so I know very little. In general,
it's free, amateurs' network that allows its members to exchange emails and
files. FIDO uses its own proprietary protocol. Special gateways are used to
exchange emails with the Internet. Look at www.fidonet.org for more
details... But be prepared to get back not the homepage, but some HTML code.
{G} The guys have forgot to put the {HTML} tag into the code of their main
page... OOPS.
4). The names.
The same name in Russian usually can have several forms, reflecting the
attitude of the one who pronounces the name to the one named. The number of
these forms is as far as I can judge, much bigger than in English. That's
why in my translation I preferred to retain the original rules of forming
such names and to provide this note. Another important reason is that the
Russian name changed according to the rules of doing so in English would
sound ridiculous (maybe for me only, as I'm Russian... ;-) ), not mentioning
that it's not always possible to do this with Russian names at all. Example:
John - Johnny. Now try to do the same with, say, my name: Yuri. Yup... My
point exactly. Below is the example of how the first name of the main
character can be 'bent'. The same often happens to other names in the book.
For inexperienced reader it might be confusing, so I apologize... Russia
*is* confusing by definition, so bear with it. :-)
Leonid - the complete name.
Lenia (should be read roughly as Lyo-nee-aa; don't pronounce 'double
lettered' sounds as too long ones though) - this is slightly diminutive,
friendly form used by relatives and friends.
Lenechka (Lyo-nee-chka) - a "pet-name" form, sometimes also used with
sarcasm, depending on the context.
Lenchik - "pet-name"/unceremonious address.
Len'ka ( here ' means softening of the previous sound, 'n' in this name
sounds like 'n' in the word 'change') - Unceremonious address, a bit
slighting. Often used by close friends without any offensive context.
... and so on. No more forms are used in the book, so I'd better not
confuse you any more.
Another trick is how the names are formed n general. In particular, the
concept of the middle name in Russia. It is not 'given', but rather is the
father's name. To be used as a middle name, special endings are attached:
-ovich, -evich for man's middle name (yeah, they are gender specific!),
-ovna, evna for female's middle name.
Examples: Petrovich Alekseevich - men's
