“Dad, look — this panel is glowing in different colors! And if you press here?..”

“Oh, what’s this thing? It’s so small, but it has a bunch of buttons — it must be some kind of sensor!”

“Wow! There are so many wires here — do they all lead somewhere? Can I trace where they go?”

“And if you turn this lever, what will happen? Please, Dad, let me try!”

“Wow! It’s a holographic interface!” “Dad, can I try to activate it?”

“So, the blue wire goes here, the red one goes there… So, they probably supply power to this module?”

“Strange… the indicator is flashing every three seconds. Is that normal, or is something wrong?”

“If this door is locked, then there’s something important behind it! Or dangerous. Or both!”

“Hmm… these symbols on the panel look like the ones I saw in a textbook on astrophysics.” “Maybe it’s some kind of scientific mode?”

“Oh… I think I accidentally pressed something. But it just lit up, right? Nothing bad happened?”

“Sorry, Dad! I really didn’t mean to turn off the cooling system. I just wanted to see what would happen…”

“I didn’t think this lever was so important! But now we know it triggers the emergency lighting!”

“I promise, next time I’ll ask first!”

“Dad, I’ve come up with an idea — let’s check how the gravitational chamber works? Well, at least we’ll just see what it looks like!”

“I’ve mapped out the route: first we go to the observatory dome, then to the laboratory, and then… then we’ll see where our intuition takes us!”

“Imagine if I find some hidden compartment! I’ll be the first person to open it!”

“Let’s make a deal: I won’t touch anything important, but if I see something interesting, you’ll let me study it — but under your supervision!”

“Father, I’ve analysed the data from the panel and concluded that the power supply system is running at 97 % capacity. Perhaps we should check the backup circuits.”

“Sergei Ivanovich, I’ve noticed that the indicator on unit B‑7 is flashing more frequently than on the others. Is that normal?”

“I understand that this is a restricted area, but perhaps I could help with the records or data sorting?”

“Dad! Dad! I found a hatch! It was disguised as a wall, but I noticed that there’s a different texture there!”

“Look, these symbols on the screen are changing! Is this some kind of code? Or a message?”

“Oh, there’s a recording here!” “The old flight engineer’s log… Dad, we’re about to uncover some kind of secret, I can feel it!”

“I was right! That button wasn’t blinking for no reason — it activates the observatory’s backup mode!”

“Come on, Dad, just one time! I’ll be careful, I promise!”

“But if I don’t try, we’ll never find out what this thing does!”

“I won’t break it, I’ll just take a look! Please, please, please!”

“You yourself said that curiosity is a good thing. So I’m being curious!”

“Uh… I think I pressed the wrong thing. Why is everything flashing?”

“Dad, something’s humming here… And the indicator turned red. Is that bad, right?”

“Oh‑oh, the door has closed! But don’t worry, I’m already looking for a way to open it!”

“Nothing to worry about, just a small glitch.” “Now I’ll restart the system — or maybe it’s better not to?”
