  • " OFF THE SIDE OF HIM! KICK HIM OUT! " shouted the angry crowd.

As we approached we saw a man lying beside him, a woman clutching his leg, tears streaming in her eyes.

  • HE IS LIKE YOU! JUST LIKE YOU! YOU HEARTLESS, STUPID PEOPLE! YOU ARE THE BERES! - The woman cried out frantically.

A stately blond man with a short haircut and shaved temples came on board, everyone froze looking at him with enthusiasm, he walked imposingly to the woman and helped her up.

  • "Really, that's enough. We don't really know anything about her," the man said in a calm tone and moved toward the captain's bridge.

  • " This is.... This is Conor.... IT'S THE REAL, LIVE, CONOR! " Myoka said with great happiness.

Conor was the commander of the diversionary reconnaissance team, in fact, the real captain of the ship. After his appearance, everyone forgot about the man and accompanied him with a glance, and the man and his wife walked slowly toward their quarters at the sound of the captain whispering.
