:44:05
At first...
:44:09
they circled the place with barbed
wire to scare off the inquisitive.
:44:17
All this gave rise to rumours
that there's a place in the Zone...
:44:25
where wishes come true.
:44:27
Naturally, they began to guard
the Zone like the apple of their eye.
:44:35
Who knows what kind offish
someone might cherish.
:44:40
What was it if not a meteorite?
:44:46
I told you, no one knows.
:44:49
And what do you think?
:44:53
Nothing.
Or anything.
:44:59
A message to mankind,
as one of my colleagues says.
:45:03
Or a gift.
:45:10
Some gift.
:45:13
Why on earth would they do it?
:45:15
To make us happy.
:45:21
The flowers are blooming again,
but they don't smell for some reason.
:45:26
Sorry for leaving you two here,
but it was too early to go anyway.
:45:35
Did you hear it?
:45:38
Maybe someone lives here?
:45:41
Who?
:45:44
You told me yourself
:45:47
about some tourists camped here
when the Zone originated.
:45:52
There's no one in the Zone and
there can't be.
:45:59
Well, it's time.
