«I understand you, dear Chairman. Thank you for not only you do not climb over the heads, but you also become flush with us!»

Of course, the easy landscaping of Jesus’ face does not elude my gaze: the guy has once again been turned over by praises.

«Let’s consider this a preamble to our first decision! Let’s back into the mainstream. So, colleague Caesar: what do you understand?»

Caesar respectfully bows his head.

«Dear Chairman, I understand your idea! Your thought… Sorry: but my understanding of your thought…»

Here it is – a gentleman!

«… such: if we are people, then we must live in a human way! Even cattle do not live in an open field!»

«What, there, cattle, colleague Caesar!» Lenin connects. Even primitive people did not want to live in caves!»

«Exactly!»

Caesar shines in Ilyich in gratitude for the company.

«Romulus did not stay in the cave: he founded the city!»

The argument is not quite «from that opera», but «it will good with beer».

«You’re right, colleague Chairman!»

Now I am honored by Caesar: in the Roman manner, he puts his hand on my shoulder.

«We will build!»

«But first we will vote!» I chill the ardor of the Roman correctly. Needless to say, the vote is openly formal. Even Genghis Khan does not want to «soak in the rain» – what to say for representatives of sedentary peoples! Even Jesus spoke in favor of the construction! More precisely: he kept silent in favor of construction: he did not give a vote against. But this decision was probably harder for him than the others! At least, because I had to discard not a nomadic notion, but a personal prejudice! He stubbornly does not want to support me and those, who support me, but he can’t but not support: common sense is ours. And this quality of Jesus is being filled more and more, despite the fact, that the process goes along with the growth of personal ambitions.

«It was smooth on paper,» Stalin reminds about himself in a favorite manner. «What will we build: castles in the air?»

«Not in the eyebrow, but in the eye!» The people together «back their colleague with their shoulders». There are no fools, and «delay» is a temporary category… even in the absence of time.

«But this is true, colleague Chairman!» Napoleon is the first to get upset, despite on the exclamation mark. «What are we going to build from?!»

«Calm down, colleague!»

I do not linger with the answer – more expensive – at the same time anticipating a classic soothing gesture: the palm – «forward face». The gesture is accompanied by a mine of superiority on the face – for greater persuasiveness.

«Everything is taken into account by a mighty hurricane!», as one comrade said! Yes, as long as we have available one absence only! But everything is in our hands! Remember, who we are here and for what? Exactly: we are brains and experience! And here we are – for the same thing! For brains and for experience, that is!»

«…» Stalin’s eyes begin to clear up, but I have no time to wait for the «final development», although it would not hurt to encourage a colleague’s hunch.

«Exactly, colleague Stalin!» so I do: I encourage, that is. «A working tool, as well as materials, can be created, knowing the theory, the specifics of production and the characteristics of materials!»

Following Stalin, Mohammed also flourishes.

«Ay, how are you right, dear Chairman! For it says: „When Allah will decide some business, he will only say to him: „Be it!“ – and it happens“! Aw, what a fine fellow you are, dear!»

For the «dear» and other praises, of course, thanks, but I, frankly, mean something different. There is no question about Allah, «may the Almighty forgive me!» But the prophet, as a participant in the creative process, deserves not only condescension, but also encouragement. And I do not delay with the right thing.

«Yes, dear colleague Mohammed, the principle of action is about the same. „Allah“…»

«Sapienti sat!»: I am quoting for the initiates only. And then: why hurt a good man? For the light, almost weightless grin of Stalin and Caesar, I see: men are of the same opinion. And Mohammed is not so far from the truth… Unless, of course, take into account the «factor of Allah».

«… Yes, so, here, «Allah» says his «Be!» with knowledge of the matter obviously! Not as an amateur, but as a specialist… in any industry, on which he says this is his «Be!»

Mohammed’s face blooms with additional paint. At the same time, I am honored with a couple of grateful views of the prophet. Here it is: interfaith harmony is in action! An atheist, a Muslim and a pagan will always get along with each other, if they do not «push themselves out», as one comrade would say! Although, about interfaith harmony, this is me: «after all, we are no longer on Earth», as once stated with bitterness another comrade, already in the context of a different environment. We should not have any confessions: this is not the «letter» that should be followed! Well, as for the occasion with Mohammed, then I respond to good only with good, even if a friend makes mistakes with the «source» of good.

«So, we have a similar situation, dear colleague Mohammed! If the master imagines all this, he can easily imagine! Well, that is the whole process: how it works, and what it is made of! After all, here, in the Noosphere, not only the best minds of theoretical and applied sciences, but also masters of all kinds of crafts are gathered. Not artisans, but Masters with great the letters „m“! Should they rely on knowledge and experience – and the Noosphere will show the result in kind! Everything will come true, as rightly noted by the dear colleague…»

That’s another curtsy in the direction of Mohammed – and the return surge of sympathy.

«… based on science and production. Knowledge and experience will give the right tool for the job, and the right material. They cannot be invented, but they can be created! In thoughts, but precisely to create! More precisely, recreate: with accurate calculations and „without any“ fantasies! Only such a result can manifest itself with Noosphere! That is, only with accurate knowledge of the subject can appear „accessories“!»

I make one more round bypass. Comrades already suspect me of intent, but «nobody dives into the trenches». I make sure again that «not everyone got into our tight circle!» And I honestly confess:

«That’s right, colleagues: I intend to. I think on the theme of „who to charge“?»

Two hands rise at once: Caesar and Stalin. This is both well and bad. And the question is not in dialectics: the choice is always fraught with not only responsibility, but also the consequences of giving priority. It is easy to lose not only illusions, but also sympathy. But, unlike many other cases, the choice is always made. I am not an exception.

«Yes, colleague Caesar will not be offended at me, but I think that this business is better… to blame: you need to entrust your colleague to Stalin. „This business“ means: general idea, design and estimate documentation, personnel selection, execution control. Why precisely to Stalin?»

I grin, as if to precede the illustration with the answer. And I am not mistaken: my colleagues are smiling knowingly. Nevertheless, I make an excursion: «repetition is the mother of learning».

«Colleague Stalin is not only in terms of «the whole world of the violence, we destroy to the ground…». He is more in part: «… and then…» Well, that is: «we will build a new world…»

I mean nobody, but Lenin suddenly begins to change color from red to white and back. Sorry, colleague, if I hurt you… inadvertently. Although… Well, agree, Ilyich: of course, you did not want… maybe… it happened… but only this is because of you – «the whole world is down to the ground»! No, I understand: someone needs to destroy! This is not only a dialectics, but a vital necessity also. More than that: the truth of life. To create a new one in place of the old, you need to clear the ground! But here, as you can see, there is nothing to clear. Well, there is no force application object. And in terms of construction… well, just be honest: is this in terms of others?!

«Let us recall what „sins“ are counted for colleague Stalin: collectivization, industrialization, rearmament of the army, restoration of the destroyed country in a miserable five years, the transformation of shrill Russia in the second empire of the world! A colleague, Stalin is able not only to search, but also to find „frames“. And he not only finds them, but also brings them to readiness. Well, since the diamond is adjusted to a royal cut diamond. And, most importantly: not only Stalin’s colleague, but also his appointees are able to control the process, and to ensure the desired result by the right time! This is a great gift, and not to everyone it is given!»

Caesar courageously transfers «the bitterness of the pill», but I understand that now it is advisable to splash a little balsam.

«All of you are not only great generals, but also great statesmen. Each of you has not only military feats.»

For the benefit of the case I will scribble a little: for Genghis Khan, for example, there are no labor achievements. «On the line of truncation of heads» Tamerlane prevailed also: he was an asset only Samarkand. A colleague is better known as the «master of dismantling other people’s buildings». But as one comrade said: «in art, it is possible to exaggerate – it is possible to downplay!» The art of telling the truth is no different from all others in this respect, including from the art of lies also.

«All of you – each in his time – so to speak, „worked hard“ in the field. Everyone in their own time!»

I’m not in vain duplicate with the exclamation mark and, moreover, I pause: «sapienti sat!» We have everything here «sapienti» Therefore, the faces of colleagues simply do not have the right to ignore a insight. And so they do: they insight. Caesar is the first in the line of moment of insight by guesswork.

«You, as always, are right, colleague Chairman! The scale of the creative activity of each of us is incomparable with what we did… no, better: Stalin, a colleague, accomplished! Even I, who built cities from Egypt to Britain, will not dare to stand in one row with my colleague Stalin!»

I add my voice to the collective admiration, and when it seems a little, I add the appropriate look. But Caesar – praise the «gods», «patronizing» him! – do not delay «with the moment of personal leadership».

«The difference in technical capabilities must also be taken into account! I, of course, read something here, consulted with my comrades – but this is not enough for this guide! In short, this is what is commonly said on Earth now: I propose to close the debate… without opening it!»

That’s original! Although: Caesar – «he is in Africa…"… in the Noosphere, that is, Caesar!

«My candidacy, I withdraw of course.»

Caesar with a grin turns to Stalin.

«The yoke is yours, colleague Stalin: put your neck up!»

I’m not in a hurry «with the announcement of the results», because of their absence.

«Colleague Caesar, do you mind if we vote this question? Maybe comrades will have other opinions? Maybe, a colleague Jesus wants to become „self-nominee“ once again?»

Izzy blushes like a tomato and puts his hands under him. It is clear: away from sin. I have no doubt: this moment I will also be reckoned. At a minimum, Jesus already «tied up a bundle» and «made a notch». The guy is more and more resigned from himself, canonical. And not «by the day, but by the hour», as I once «counted»: right before our eyes! «People are growing!» Or rather: «Times change and we change with them!» Turns out it’s possible in the conditions of time «absent as a class» also. Where «love your enemy as yourself!»? Where «turn the other cheek to him»? Where is «forgive them, Lord, for they do not know what they are doing!»? This Jesus is clearly not going neither love, nor convert, nor forgive!»

«He does not want!» Finally, I linger on Jesus… with my feet: «Seven troubles – one answer!» «Then let’s vote. Who is for putting the heavy burden of building on the fragile shoulders of Stalin’s colleague, please raise your hands.»

Further it is possible and not to correspond to the instruction: «abstained», not to mention those who are «against», no. But I am an incorrigible formalist. As one earthly comrade, to whom the other originally referred: «Every fold on your blanket is a loophole for world capitalism!»

«Congratulations, colleague Stalin.»

I shake hands with the «chosen one of luck». This is an amazing feeling: I know that there is no damn thing, but I feel it like living! Thank you, dear Noosphere: this is quality work! Not some, there, bullshit!

«Well, the first task for you, a colleague.»

The people immediately selected: interesting because! And then: the very beginning! It is possible and so: with a capital letter! Not the Big Bang, of course, but also…

«Colleague Stalin try to equip this wasteland by the next meeting…»

I look around the gaping space.

«with everything you need for work, at least, at a minimum: a meeting room, furniture, an interior… You know better than me what and how! There is no need to threaten the Kremlin or any presidential palace: this is later, in the process! But, at least, please provide: what are we, to hell, the leaders? «All сobblers go barefoot?»

This time I «grab» a friendly applause not for the successful construction of the proposal only, but also for the successful task on the design.

«The project of the General Construction Plan should be ready for the next meeting! Okay?»

Stalin affirmatively nods his head.

«In parallel, your people should start work „already yesterday“ on the compilation of the State Five-Year Plan… or the Prospective Forecast: we’ll specify the name later, when we decide with the system.»

«I got it, colleague Chairman.»

«Then – a break: we are already «going with over-fulfillment»… Or, for the same reason, will we postpone it altogether?

No, all the same, I well done: what «eagles» grabbed! Not a single slacker: everyone is eager to fight! It is understandable: everyone want to know everything at once. And rightly so: certainty is the guarantee of a sober look on things, or the opportunity to get rid of the fear of uncertainty.

«Then I declare a smoke break!»

«???»

«Ugh, you: break!»
