                Brave Ada
                literary cinema scenario
Bright and sunny day in Australia. You see dolphins cutting and splashing in clear waters near Sydney Aquarium. Beautiful young woman is kneeling on the pier and patting the dolphin called Toby. Her name is Ada. She is a well known dolphin trainer and yacht enthusiast. 
-" It is decided then, Toby. We are off to our ocean adventure. I wish you all the best, be brave, stay clear of sharks. I will see you soon in the open waters. We will be victorious."
Toby is jumping out of the water, twisting in the air with dolphin grace and he is off to the ocean.

Ready to sail yacht Ariadna is at the stone pier of Sydney Bay. Ada is on the deck dressed in cherry coloured cotton drill dress. Her tanned face is adorned with happy dimples. She is simply stunning.
Bright and colourful mob is on the pier. Mostly reporters with photo cameras. They are flashing away. Greedy hands stretching towards Ada looking to snatch an autograph over her picture. Sounds of friendly banter and laugh.
Someone shouts: "Ada, Ada, Ada! "
Middle aged TV reporter Bill is coming through crushing through the mob huffing and puffing from heat. He gives short order to his camera operator: "Zoom in on Ada! Remember we need a good picture for all channel coverage!"
The reporter lands on the deck next to Ada after an exhausting somersault in the air. "SBS, two words, I beg of you!"
Ada is spying the microphone. "I know you journalists have spare tapes in your pockets. I believe you only want Two Words, do you?"
- Ada, you are a vision!
- Ok, you have my attention
- You are on your way around the world across the ocean. We know that you have planned to round the Horn on the 40 longitude. Why?
Ada gave a quick flick of her eye. Giving the reporter a sweetest smile, looking towards the horizon she is twisting a white flower with her fingers.
- You shall think me crazy as would the majority of your viewers. I love the sea, I dream of challenging fierce Cape Horn, meeting such an adversary is a wish of every sailor.
- Yes, but why?
- You know, ocean is the only place left to collect one's thoughts these days. Look around you, the world is difficult. Everything is crazy. Some people are toying with the idea of nuclear war. This world is on the brink of extinction. I want to be alone. This is my way of protesting if you wish...
- It is strange to hear it from you. You are young and beautiful. Correct me if I am wrong, do you go because you want to be alone?
- Oh no, there is no other place for peace.
- Is it true that Toby is going to be your companion?
- That is correct. As you see I will not be all alone after all.
- However dolphin is not human.
- Toby is my trusted friend. I have reared him up and gave him manners. He knows human language. I will only speak to him. He is not corrupted by civilisation.
- But where is your dolphin? You are here and he is not.
- Tobi is in the ocean already. He is young and needs to play. He is going to be near me all the time. He will help me the moment I need help.
- Is Ariadna ready for round the world trip?
- It is a much safer sanctuary compared to land. Land is a nuclear jungle, corroded with terror and drugs. Look into the internet! It's full of disease and depravity. There is plenty to corrupt young souls. I can't help but wonder if life will continue. We've lost God and it's the worst of sins.

Two well-wishers are stooping near the yacht Rene and Fred. Rene is Ada's friend.
Fred: "No chance in Ada, Ada is going to make it through devilish Cape Horn. She is about to break her brilliant teeth over forty longitudes..."
Rene: "You know, Ada is experienced and brave regardless of her young age. She knows her craft and will swish through the boiling Ada full speed... Like a bet?"
Fred: "Sure, I bet 1000"
X
Ada is on the deck saying goodbye to Sydney, her arms opened wide.
Port workers are untying ropes, Ariadna is leaving the port. People shout:
- Good luck Ada!
- Godspeed!
- See you soon!
- Ada! Ada! Ada!
Ocean liners have multicoloured nautical flags reading "Happy journey". We hear brass sounds and hooting of steam.
Ada is blowing a warm kiss towards land, hers arms are wide open...
She set sails without skipping a beat, turns the boat and heads off into the open ocean past the lighthouse.
Solitary seagull is seeing gliding above the yacht.
X
Open sea on sunny day. The skies are cloudless clean like an impressionists art. We see the whitening of Ariadna full  sail. It looks like a lost ghost on the ocean surface. Ada is in perpetual fluid motion. She is taking sun measures with sextant wearing her constant cherry cotton dress.
- What is the bearing? - asking Ada , her face is all seriousness
- The bearing is 265! - answering herself in the playful voice
- Keep the bearing!
- Aye Aye, keep the bearing, Captain!
- Straight line to Cape Horn!
Huge turtle appears on the side and looks over to Ada. Ada is smiling with joy happy to meet anyone so far out in the open waters.
- I greet you, the wisest of the wise. I am in awe of you. You are born with dinosaurs and ichthyosaurus. What mysterious place have you left and where are you wandering to, my tireless sea nomad? I am so grateful to have met you.
Sea turtle is keeping to herself bearing her green Ada towards her destination like an exotic island.
Ariadna and turtle have different destinations and so go on their separate ways.
X
In the middle of the windless quiet night Ariadna is hugged by the sleeping ocean. Ada is resting on the white wicker chair, wishing on the stars. Flying fish disturbs calm waters with fluorescent flick of the tail. Bright stars in the dead of the night. Ada's smiling face is swimming in pale starlight. The sailor stretched her arms towards the stars. We hear her calm voice over the waters:
- Vega, my star. You are as close as you are far, can you hear me? You and I are grains of sand. You are my mystery and power, you are my secret...
Meteorite swished through the night skies and disappeared.
X
You can't describe the dawns over the ocean. Bright red sun disc awakens from under the sea. Crystal waters are silvery colour.
The yacht is powering ahead sporting full blown sails not unlike some white butterfly. It is gliding over the mirror surface of the sea through soft sound of waves and  mist.
We hear Ada from the cabin:
- All hands are up!
- Aye Aye all hands are up, Captain!
Door opens and Ada is standing there shielding eyes from bright sun.
- I greet you Sun! I love you for all that you give: gentle light, warmth, signs and separation from darkness. Because of you there is life. Let the Life be there forever!
Water is noisily playing alongside the stern of Ariadna. The beautiful yacht is sailing ahead tugged by the open sails. After splashing some seawater over the deck Ada is relaxing with checkmate set. Her opponent is a well known Grand Master. At the moment she is planning her next move. Her cheeky dimpled face is alight with joy. She is a player.
- I see... you are planning to take on my Queen? I don't think so Grand Master, I have something up my own sleeve. I will start with moving my Castle over there to threaten your Bishop. Do you not approve?
Ada quickly change seats and pretends to be a Grand Master himself. She speaks in deep manly voice:
- Madam Ada, you are correct. My aim was your Queen but your ambition is to take on my King, isn't it?
Ada quickly changed seats again.
- My dear Grand Master, you are wrong, I was not going after your King, he is not my type. I will tell you a story if you like. I was in love with one brilliant naval officer when I was still in college. I was full of awe and fear when he was returning from voyages on his fantastic yacht. That is why I am bent to get your Bishop at any cost and will get what is mine.
Then change of places again.
- You want a Bishop? How about we make a deal? I will give that Bishop in exchange for the Queen. Would you take it?
Ada is sitting in her original place and laughing with joy.
- Of course I will take your offer my darling Grand Master, I am all for the peaceful solutions.
X
Middle of the day and Ada is speaking into the portable recorder. She is excited and her voice is trembling.
- I imagine the infinity and endless silence. Can you imagine the same? You are powerless over sheer nature of elements and there is not a sound of civilisation. Can you feel that happiness being a part of the ocean? Ocean is a foundation of life. I have something to celebrate. Any moment now I will be crossing the equator. That means I am well on my way towards Cape Horn.
Ada suddenly darted into cabin and emerged with watercolours, paper and brushes. She is drawing Neptune, mermaid, jellyfish, octopus and exotic island with cocoa palms. She is unusually dressed. Multicoloured ribbons entwined her hips. Her hair is tussled by gentle wind. She is tapping a barefoot dance and singing the song:


I am alone in the middle of the ocean
The ocean is alone with me
It's a happy but scary occurrence
And gods are looking over me

I have no fear, I may be mad
My passions are mindless joy
That I am out of the shelter
Roaming the free world

My brave sailboat Ariadna
Keep tabs on my impulse and joy
I am one with the body of ocean
My soul is immortal, ahoy!

She is holding a seaweed wreath and offers a deep bow to the ocean.
- This is my offering to you, oh great Neptune, Master of oceans and seas. This is to mark my love and respect!
She released the wreath onto the quiet wave.
In one movement she scoops overboard waters and dumps it on herself with a quick splash. Her body, face and hair is soaked through. Still wearing her strange outfit she cannot help herself. She tied a thick rope to her waist and taking a full lungs of sea air jumped into the calling waters.
X
Ghostly image of large multi-must sail ship is appearing over the horizon. Ada has clapped her hands and dropped the binoculars. She is off to the cabin, checked herself in the mirror, smiled and applied lipstick with one rushed move. She was just about to clean up the cabin but there is no need, everything is in perfect sparkling order. She is off to the deck, standing still and squinting her eyes.
- Crew of Ariadna, set sail!
- Aye Aye Captain, set sail!
- Cath the Flying Dutchman!
- Aye Aye Captain, Cath the Flying Dutchman!
Ada is setting sails and other naval paraphernalia to gain the speed. Ariadna is catching up to the large ship without any difficulty. All hands on deck of the ship and surprised by this rare meet. Ship's Captain is shouting trough makeshift hands scoop speaker:
- I cannot believe it, is this really you Ada? This is a miracle! Please come up for a cup of coffee!
- I am touched Captain, but I am in the hurry. I have a date!
- Afraid I couldn't hear you. Did you just say "a date"? I would love to see that lucky man, is he here in the middle of the ocean?
- That's right Captain! I have a set date with Cape Horn. You are welcome to join me on the journey. I enjoy friendship of sailing boats.
I would love nothing more that to join you on that voyage. I have my own reckoning with Cape Horn. However I am off to Marcel!  - Captain is lowering a bottle of champagne under an admiring sigh of sailors.
- I applaud you Captain. This is a nice surprise. Is this a famous champagne from Bordeaux?
Ada takes a sip of sparkling wine and pass the bottle back to Captain.
Captain is taking a sip and gives the bottle to his merry sailors to pass around under the grateful eye of Ada.
- We drink your health, sea Princess!
- We see you at Happy Islands one day!

TV studio in Sydney. Business environment. The screens flash pictures. Behind a glass partition - Cabinet chief.
-Look here, Bill. Ada on the way to Cape Horn. No one yachtswoman - a woman could not overcome this God forgotten place. Ada first. This moment will be broadcasted on the prime network space. The helicopter is at your disposal. Take the best TV technician. Interview with Ada from Cape Horn  is a world sensation. Take the best operator you can, I think it's John. It will remove the devil himself. Remember, the viewers are waiting for the appearance of their favourite Ada ...
- This will be my best reporting.
- Good luck, Bill ...

Mile after mile moves, Ariadne. The ocean breathes heavily. Blow treacherous winds, forties latitudes. The sky is dark, rainy. Markedly decreases the barometer in the whole of the approach to Cape Horn.
Ada is smiling with the corner of the lips. She is dressed in a smart evening dress, dressed for this gala event, the entire focus of Ada.
And here it is, the exciting moment on the straight path to a gloomy Cape Horn.
Ada is trying to shout over the wind noise, her hands raised.
- Hurray! Cape Horn! I ... I, Ada, a woman, I see you. Here you are, a thunderstorm sailors, and I'm not afraid!
Ada quickly rushes into the cabin, grabbed a rocket launcher, and was again on the upper deck. Roaring and howling, red rocket trail, cutting through the running of low cloud that soared into the sky.
-Ah, well, what are you up to beautiful Cape Horn! - Loudly proclaims Ada.
And here there was a helicopter. Powerful swinging blades, were pressing insistently on the yacht. From the open door throws out a rope ladder, and on it, resisting the furious wind, reporter Bill.
The thunder of the engine. The howling wind. Shock waves. Voice reporter, amplified megaphone.
- Madame Ada! Fabulous! Cape Horn delicious! Congratulations! I ask only two words! Two words! You are waiting for millions of viewers. Ada, Ada!
Ada is trying in vain to protect herself from gushing wind: - Why are you here? go! I want to be alone! Oh, my God!
But the reporter is going nowhere. Glass camera eye is staring at Ada from the open door of the helicopter...
The helicopter nearly tips the boat over. Powerful engine roaring, made another circle, as if saying good-bye and went to the side of the earth ...
X
Cape Horn ... left behind. But there are still howling, humming ominous winds. Muffled knock on the yacht of the wave. Noticeably darker. Ada slipped into the cabin after checking the connection gear. Staring at the barometer. The arrow on the bottom drops noticeably. Ada clicked her tongue.
-Oh, my God, so it means a typhoon ... And where are you now Toby?
Ada is alarmed.
X
And ... at the same time, giant hovercraft is moving over the ocean with great speed. It looks like a fantastic flying saucer. But he is not from outer space. This ship belongs to the terrorists.
In the armoured vessel, in isolated compartments there are giant combat helicopters, nuclear torpedo boats and modern military equipment lurk from the outside world... We hear apprehensive buzzing of moving elevators. Ballistic missiles asleep in their sockets. On the upper deck colossus - sleek tower of impressive size - laser and anti-gravity setting. There are some people in overalls around the mechanism. They have detached celluloid eyes. People or not people.
In the central tower at the main console is the navigator. He is seriously alarmed and reports to the captain.
-Sir, I see a strong movement of the cloud ... Collision Course ... The speed is three hundred miles ...
The captain looked at the screen.
-Nonsense, the navigator. This is only a typhoon, "Kamis".
-But, sir, this one, Kamis, has already transformed many islands and cities in the desert. Ships in the wreckage. On it blew all the radio stations around the world. He ...
- This storm is nothing for our vessel, it's like a sparrow feather flap! We will cut through it as if it's a soap bubble. Keep the speed and course ...
X
Ada at the radio. The weather forecaster's voice is heard.  “Attention everybody ... In the Pacific, Hurricane ..."
Ada took the lifejacket out the locker and hastily put on herself. Tightly lock down the windows. Restored order in the cabin. She made sure that all items are secured, and writing in the logbook, climbed to the deck.
The hurricane came close at once. A giant wave obscured the sky. The yacht is heeled over sharply, and at the same moment burst the mast. Flows of icy rain and sea water lashed on Ada's face. Legs wide apart, yachtswoman raging fiercely resistant to the elements. Clinging to the shrouds, to the rail slide on the deck, to the wheel. Sudden gusts of wind mixed up her wet hair. Wet clothes sticking to the body. And the waves grow. Wet clouds fall onto the yacht from the dark sky. Flash of lightning. Thunder. Stumbling in the rigging, Ada struggles to restore order.
X
.. At the same time, there is a sudden call in the central control room of the giant ship. Armoured door opens automatically and the ship's radio operator with the telegram in his hand appeared from the dark opening.
- Gunnery, received the SOS signal is ...
-Read ...
" A boat, Ariadne. I am in the centre of the hurricane. MAYDAY. Can hold for half an hour. Inform the coordinates: 5 - SR degrees south latitude, 168 degrees east longitude. Ada."
Commander held out his hand, and radio operator quickly gave him a piece of radiogram.
- Ada? - he breathed out, barely audible. He is thinking trying to comprehend the essence of the radiogram
- Well, sir, Ada ...
- Ada. I know her ... The famous yachtswoman and dolphin trainer ... She is charming and courageous ... We were with her in a yacht club. So Ada ...
-So, sir, Ada, the same that on the yacht "Ariadne" alone makes around the earth navigation. This is her handwriting. Only she can hold out promise for another half hour in a hurricane as, Kamis. It is very close. We must help her ...
- Richard, you are free. Report if there is new development ...
Radio operator bowed his head and like a shadow had disappeared from the bridge. And the captain clenched his fists, and leaned onto the thick glass of the bridge.
- Ada, Ada. What the Ada was you doing here?

In the middle of the ocean on the tropical island is the terrorist base. The island is under careful guard. Each square meter is covered by the sharp eye of electronics. Concreted bunker hidden deep underground. Officers on duty are glued to the monitors. Total aura of secrecy and vigour. Helicopter is flying into the island and lands. Boss is stepping out of helicopter. He is met by a senior officer on duty:
- Boss, we are ready to start the experiment. We are waiting for your approval!
Accompanied by the officer the Boss goes to the bunker. Elevator. Descend deep into the bottom. A long corridor. The massive door. The duty officer presses a button. The door slowly opened. Boss enters the spacious hall.
A group of military high ranks officers is sitting in soft chairs. They are designers and engineers. At low tables glasses, brandy, whiskey. Everything looks so normal, we do not have a feeling that we are deep underground. Huge globes of the earth and moon adorn the middle of the hall.
X
Boss surveyed the audience with the long look. His body seated in an easy chair.
- Welcome, and congratulations with the beginning of the experiment. Harry, you may begin.
The officer presses the button on TV. On a large TV screen we see a raging sea and the ship, the one that resembles a giant flying saucer. Waves breaking on his helpless steel case driven by the hurricane.
Numbers show the coordinates of the ship. The display gives information about the origin of the experiment. Tense silence in the hall. All those present are glued to the TV screen. The officer is focused. He speaks loudly without hesitation:
- For this experiment, we chose the Bikini Island of the Marshall Islands group. The ship will launch a laser beam, homing on Bikini Island, and lift her above the ocean surface. After keeping an island in the air for sixty seconds we'll put it back in its place. Then the beam will be sent to the moon and make a mark on it. We've given three hundred seconds for the whole operation...
All of a sudden there are exciting exclamations through the group. In the chaos of the hurricane, there is a torn sail boat on the screen.. They distinctly hear her call sign and signal SOS.
Boss is surprised:
- What is it?! Why is there a boat on the test sector?!
Officer:
- We've probed every square meter with the satellite probes... This operation was kept in absolute secrecy. There should not be a soul within a thousand miles. I cannot understand where did that boat came from ...
Boss is angry. He is jabbing at the screen with trembling fingers:
- Get me the captain.
Pensive face the captain has appeared on the screen.
The Boss almost shouted:
- Who is it hangs about near you?
- A boat, Ariadne, Boss. It is Ada, the one that makes a voyage around the world. It is in distress. Asks for help. I can assist her without changing the course ...
- What?! Have you forgotten all reason?
- Got it, Boss understood.
   Boss appeared pleased with the answer:
 - Proceed with the plan!
X
Ariadne does not fight with the hurricane on equal terms. Terrible but at the same time is a fascinating spectacle. Moving mountains of water with a tremendous howl of the wind. Dazzling lightning cut through the black sky. Foaming and raging avalanche of dark water came down on a yacht. Clinging to the shrouds Ada slips on the wet deck to the life raft. But the boat took a sharp turn onto its side and the raft picked by the wind disappeared into the grinning jaws of a hurricane dragging Ada..
X
The hurricane has passed as suddenly as it arose. It's sunny. The ocean sparkles with bright silver. In the sky, soaring albatross. Ada is lying on the raft lolling on the calm waters. Her eyes are shut. Her arms are spread out. Albatross lands on the raft. The raft swung. Ada opened her eyes. She smiled to an unexpected guest.
- Well, Adao. Are you tired? Oh, I'm tired ... some water would be nice.
The great effort of will, Ada got up, scooped a handful of ocean water. Raised the hand to her lips but quickly spit the water out scrunching her face in disgust.
Albatross took off leaving Ada alone again under the tropical sun that continues to burn. Exhausted by the struggle with the elements, Ada bent her head in defeat. But she immediately brightened up after looking into the emergency compartment. To her delight there was a rubber container with fresh water.
Eagerly clung lips. She drank slowly. Her eyes narrowed.
- Water. Well, there is nothing better than water.
Quenching her thirst, Ada straightened to her full height, and was considered a close horizon. A strip of land flashed In the haze of fog.
-Oh, this is an island Bekini - joyfully cried Ada. -We have drifted that far.
But then something pushed the raft abruptly. Ada screamed and barely stayed on her feet. Next to the raft there was a huge shark spinning in a whirlpool of water.
- Go away! Go away, you devil! I have enough trouble without you! ..
Little pig-like eyes stared at Ada. And instead of giving up the shark suddenly bent, stirred up the water and moved en masse to the raft.
Ada nearly tumbled overboard because of that powerful blow. She grabbed an oar and kneeling down threatened the shark. Sticking her blunt snout out of the water the shark is poised for a new attack. And who knows what could have resulted in unwanted encounter, but the shark suddenly went onto depth waving its tale scared of something.
Ada looked around, apparently trying to figure out what has scared the shark. And then there was something else. Clinging to the surface of the water frightened albatross flashed by. And immediately flashed a gull. Then the second one, and then the third followed by a panicked flock of birds. They flew with wild cries in frantic fear overtaking each other towards the hazy distance of the ocean.
Glassy surface of the ocean surface foamed from shoals of frightened fish. Flashed frenzied shark. Hurriedly swam turtle. Ada is confused. She did not understand what disturbed the inhabitants of the ocean. The blue sky has suddenly turned black and immediately burst into bright flame. The ocean, the raft, Ada's face, shoulders and arms were stained with the colour of the heavenly fires.
Ada stood there stunned. The spectacle was terrifying. She is looking at the distant horizon where the island was outlined before. But it was no longer on the horizon but was hanging slack in the air engulfed in blinding light beam
Ada froze in horror.
- Oh, my God! What is this? How is it possible to lift the island into the sky? ...?! It's like a dream ... Or am I going crazy? Oh, God ...
But the island was indeed hanging in the sky. He was sitting above the surface of the ocean. An uprooted trees and homes were washed away over crumbling edges of the hanging island by streams of water. The island was under a spell of blinding beam that held it firmly above water.
Island was in the air for a few seconds. Then it swayed and flopped back into the ocean. And the beam rushed up towards the pale disc of the moon.
In the haze of fog Ada managed to make out the ship that looked like a flying saucer.
Ada closed her eyes and pressed her temples with fingers trying to relieve the headache. - "Oh, my God, this beam, the beam, it burned my eyes."

The same secret island. We are in the Control Centre of top-secret weapon tests. The Boss and military engineers are sitting on soft chairs. Their eyes are fixed on the TV screen.
Officer:
- Lets have a look at the recording of our experiment one more time. Do not forget to protect your eyes with the filter in front of you when looking at the beam. Otherwise you may lose the sight and memory. And now could I please have your attention? Remember this day. We start the countdown now ...
The fire beam is clearly seen on monitor. It glides over the ocean and homing on Bikini Island. Fiery tornado mixed with  the ocean waves. Island swayed and was plucked from the ocean cartoon-like style.
The Boss smiled.
Military engineers and designers are smiling.
Applause.
The Boss got heavily off the chair and surveyed everyone with long glance. He casually nodded his head and hastily left the room.


We are in the spacious hallway with a lot of doors. Boss enters the velvety tussled one. Half-naked beauty waits for him in a richly furnished boudoir. Seeing the Boss she jumped from a wide bed:
- Well, finally. I missed you.
The Boss smiled enigmatically.
- Dear Edith, wait till you see this - and he pressed the microphone button.
- Central, show me the final frames of our experiment ...
Hovering in the sky Bikini Island appeared on the screen.
Edith loved it. She claps her hands:
- Oh, John, unbelievable! Inconceivable!
- Honey, it's not all of it. The laser beam was directed at the old moon and left her an autograph. And if you wish I can  cut a piece off the moon for you. This will be your birthday gift. What would you say?
Edith smiled enthusiastically. Her eyes shiny.
- The Moon Shard? You are so generous. But what shall I do with it?
- Darling, you turn it into dollars. Moonstone worth millions of dollars per gram. And you my love will have it by container load. What will you say now?
Edith hangs off John's neck and covers him with passionate kisses.
- My dear, how much does the moon weight?
- Ha ha ha ... you are a merchant after all! Billions, my dear, billions!

Back onto the tower of the ship. Up in conning tower we see flashing lights of control panel. Flatfaced bruiser carefully moves the jaw. He is chewing gum with yellow teeth and stare at the TV screen grinning. He pressed the speaker button with sluggish movement:
- Captain, that it was a real circus. I picked up the island up as if it was a kitten by the scruff of its neck...
- OK, Phil, you know your craft. I wish old Newton could see the piece of land lifted in defiance of gravity. That would have scrunched his pretty face. This is not some apple that dropped onto his genius head.
- Captain, I can even move an entire continent to another place. Shall we stir Australia? This kangaroo country is way too comfortable basking under the warm sun ... Shall we throw it onto frozen Antarctica?
- Take it easy, Phil, there would be enough time for fun. In the meantime tell me if poor Bikini Island is still in one piece? I hope it's back in its place without any damage? Nobody should know about the last test ...
- Kittens always land on their feet .
- OK, Phil, how is our laser beam?
- We have received the latest accurate satellite data: our beam went out of the atmosphere and waltzed on the moon...
- Thanks, Phil. How is the moon after the laser tip stung its surface?
- Oh, captain ... I hope she keeps in one piece. I wonder where would all the bits and pieces go if she falls apart? Ha-ha-ha!
- On your luxury villa!
- No, let's leave it where it is

In the meantime miles away in the City of Sydney we see a face of an elegant young journalist Clode. By all appearances he is somewhat pleased. He jumped into his luxurious Cadillac whistling triumphant melody and winking at the beauties. He checked himself in the mirror. Switched on a portable TV. A face of terrorist's Boss appeared on the screen.
-Hello, Clode. How are you going there, buddy?
- The papers are silent about our operation. All media: radio and television keeping silent like sea crabs!
- Great job, Clode. Do not spare dollars. Remember Clode your life is at stake. Don't let the press get a whiff of our business.
- Got it, boss.
- One more thing Clode. Do you know whose boat was it in touch with our captain? It seems that it was an Australian yacht Ariadne with Ada on deck? Is that so?
- That's right Boss. It really was Ariadne. But she had no luck. She got touched by the beam.
- I feel sorry for Ada. I knew her. She was charming and brave. Hey Clode, could you try to get all the media magnificently lit her heroic death. Many perished in Hurricane Khamis including our hero Ada
- Yes, boss.
- Clode, check your account. We've sent you a nice round sum
- This is exactly what I need now.

In the middle of the ocean Ada is steering the life raft toward the sunrise. The ocean is the quiet desert of water. Everything is silent. Small push and faint squeak brought Ada from a deep reverie. She saw a dolphin looking at her from the water. Ada is overjoyed seeing her friend.
-Oh, Toby! Toby! - she screamed and rushed to him without hesitation cradling him in emerald waters.
 Wet and happy Ada climbed back onto the raft still caressing the dolphin overboard.
 - Oh, Toby, I'm so glad. We are together again. But Ariadne perished in the hurricane. And even worse I saw a ray of fire. They fired it off the terrible ship scorched the sky and raised an island over the ocean. Everything around was burning. I miraculously survived. But what now? Where to go? And for what? This raft is only suitable to swim in the pool. However praise the lord this raft has saved me.
 Toby stirred up the water, dived, and, forming a powerful surf, was back at the side of the raft.
 - Follow me Ada. We are not far from the land. It is not available for your people, and even invisible from the sky. But there you can relax and think up what to do next.
Ada reached for the oars. Toby swimming next to the raft peeking joyfully at Ada. But the brave girl is noticeably weaker. She has dropped the oars. Suddenly, the raft swung and picked up by a powerful wave pulled along dangerously sharp rocks. The raft is manoeuvring between them carried like the sled on the alpine road. And suddenly came into the quiet lagoon.
 Through the clear water you can see a graveyard of sunken ships. Motionless and mysterious one near the other they rest on a coral sea bottom. Vintage frigates, corvettes, modern ships, battleships all from different era keeping their secrets.
 The raft slowed down, and suddenly buried in the sand of the beach bathed in the bright light.
 Ada got a gun from the emergency trunk. Clutching a gun she went onto deserted beach. She turned toward the ocean and shouted:
-Toby! Be there! I'll be back again! - And wandered deep into the strange island. Red stones scattered around looking like parted eagle beaks. Big snake slumbers on one of them. Ada backed away but the snake lazily slid into the crevice.
  To her joy Ada saw a trickle of water. Laying on her stomach greedily began to drink. She quenched her thirst. Squatted. Smoothed her wet hair. She sighed and even slightly smiled. Slowly took the surrounding area in. There were whimsical trees and stone hills.
But then came the roar of a beast and a desperate cry of a child from somewhere nearby. Ada saw a floundered child not far from the shore in the lagoon. The child was drowning by all appearances. Two huge beast woven into a ball squabbled with a terrible roar on the shore.
Dumbfounded with terror Ada watch the battle of wild beasts unblinking. But the call for help brought her out of the stupor. Aiming the gun toward the animals she released the full magazine of bullets and without hesitation jumped into the water swam to the child and pulled her ashore. Her dark face of was full of horror. But Ada looked at her with a tenderness and a girl smiled.
- Who are you? Where are your parents? You're probably not alone on this island. Are you scared of wild animals? But they're gone. I am Ada do you understand me, my name is Ada. I will not harm you. What's your name?
The girl came to life. Nodded her head apparently intending to say something. All of a sudden we hear a long cry from the canyon:
- Abby! Abby! Abby! Where are you?
Jumping over the stones a young graceful Islander ran towards them. The girl ran to meet him hugged his neck and pointing to the lagoon and dead animals whispered something in his ear.
 Islander let the girl down. Carefully looked at Ada and asked:
- Abby, who is this woman, why did she held you in her arms? You're all wet and shivering.
 Ada moved her lips intending to answer but the girl answered ahead of her savoir:
 - This is Ada. She is the one that saved me - and she laughed.
Nao touched his hand to his chest.
 -Ada you saved my sister's life. Whoever you are you are my sister forever. I had not seen you here before.  I suspect you are in some kind of trouble. I will do my best to help you. Come with me.
 Ada is confused. She looks around trying to understand the situation.
 Seeing the confusion of Ada, Nao gently touched her shoulder.
 - Come, come, do not be afraid - and pointing his hand out towards the high cliffs, he added, - there will be your home ...
 They entered into a spacious hall. The high ceiling looked similar to the millennial baobabs propped up as golden columns. The floor covered by golden plates. Emerald walls are decorated with marble statues of naked men and women with long hair. Burning torches and a large fire pit lit their ancient faces. Ada is delighted and confused at the same time. But here came the old man from the dark doorway within the rock wall. He was tall dressed in white and had a long white hair and beard like a gypsy. Slightly narrowed eyes expressed goodness and hidden fatigue.
- Who is this woman Nao? - the old man asked.
 - This woman saved your granddaughter, father. She is my sister now. Her name is Ada.
 - Ada? You came from another world. I know this word "Ada". Ada is a universal language to communicate with a computer. It provides an opportunity to solve complex problems that arise in the course of human life. But how did you find us?
Ada is startled.
-Did you just say that Ada is a coded language? Maybe, maybe. My mother called me Ada. I am from Australia. I was on the round the world trip on my yacht Ariadne. But I lost her in the storm. I am saved however. My dolphin Toby helped me and he brought me to you. But what is this land? Where I am.  Is it an Island? I haven't seen it on our maps. When I was in the ocean I ... I ... saw something terrible. It was more terrifying than a typhoon. The memory drives me mad...
At last word Ada hesitated. She touched her temple and even trying to say something suddenly swayed and fell on the floor.
x
Ada is in a bed of soft fur. She opened her eyes and stirred. She saw Abby asked in a faint voice:
   - Where am I?
  Abby rushed through the open door.
   -Nao, Nao! Come here. She is awake!
   Nao laughs gleefully.
  -Oh! Great news.
  Ada threw the furs and stood up but felt weak and had to lay down again.
  Nao gave her a golden cup.
   -Drink it. This will help you gain your strength ...
  Ada smiled took one sip then the other and began to drink greedily.
-What was wrong with me? I do not remember anything. Where am I?
  Nao smiled.
  - Drink some more and sleep. You will be healthy again soon...
x
Ada is already on her feet. She is rested, merry and cheerful. Fate decreed that she was a witness of life of this mysterious land. Inquisitive and curious by nature Ada absorbed this strange world. She is amazed by everything: the island itself with its bizarre plants and animals, the works of art, superior craftsmanship you can't see in any museum in the world. But the biggest surprise were the people with their straight features and long blond hair looking like the paintings of Raphael. The islanders were surprised, nodded, smiled or stepped aside instead of answering every time Ada approached them with questions.
x
Ada and Nao became friends. They walk along the sandbar, fish and admire nature.
Nao shows a homemade bow to Ada. She pulls the string and sends an arrow into the target after the approving nod of Nao. She clapped her hands began to dance with joy.
-Let's go play! - Nao took Ada's hand.

x
Green lawn. The rays of evening sun glide over the soft grass. Nao hold a small ball of leather with feather of a bird.
-Look!
Nao swung and threw the ball into the sky. The ball flew in the arc but just before hitting ground Nao snapped it into his hands.
- I caught it! Look again. It's flying!
Ada did not take her eyes from the flight of the ball.
- Ada, catch! - Nao shouted and threw the ball in her direction.
The young man was running with incredible speed and agility. His eyes sparkled with joy. His face was radiant.
- So it's badminton! - Exclaimed Ada.
-Badminton - repeated Nao. - What does this mean?
- We have a game that looks like this. It's called Badminton.
Ada excited and keenly watches the flight of a small leather ball.
Nao suddenly threw the ball away, and led Ada to high rock.
- Come, I'll show you something.
Nao dragged her into a grotto in a deep crevice along steep descent. Water dripping into the well. Nao nodded.
 -It's there ...
 Took a deep breath, Ada dived into the well after Nao. Two shadows glide on the bottom of the stone. Glimpses of the jellyfish, octopus and other strange fish. They swim ten meters under water and surface into a spacious grotto. Darkness and silence. Ada squeezes water from the edges of the dress and looks around the mysterious cave. Her wet face catches a beam of light through a narrow crevice.
Nao touched her shoulder.
- Look!
Ada and gasped. On the polished slab of red stone stood a white grand piano.
Ada shook her hair.
- Dear Nao please tell me it's not a dream! Yes this is a real concert grand piano. But how could it be here?
- It was always here - said Nao
Ada clapped her hands in surprise.
-  Is that so? Can I try it?
 -Can you try what?
- Try to play it.
- Play? How do you play it?
- Get ready to listen then!
Ada went to the piano. She opened the lid. Narrowed her eyes. Hit the keys. Tried one accord then the second and broke into a wild cave sketch of Chopin.
Nao is shocked. His eyes are wide open.
x
Low tide on the beach. A lone seagull soars in the cloudless sky. Her flight is easy and simple.
Nao and Ada are on the bank.
-Oh, what is it? -Ada pointed to a gleaming cylindrical capsule on the beach. She unscrewed the plug.
- It's ocean-mail! I wonder what is in it? It's a magazine. That's a surprise.
- A Magazine? - asked Nao - What is a Magazine?
Ada knitted her brows. She looked at his bare hand, a broad chest and shoulders decorated with tattoos. Pointing the finger at fancy figures and mysterious signs she asked:
 - Whad do these pictures mean and why do you have them?
Nao squatted down, found a twig and began to draw the marks of his tattoos in the sand.
 - They tell other people what I am thinking.
Ada clapped her hands.
- So, when I look at your tattoo I can read them. The Magazine  also carries information just like your tattoo. The magazine tells about the various events in the world. Only in letters. Have a look there is a picture of Japanese boy. This picture is very well known. I saw it many times. He has a terrible disease ...
 Nao pointed.
 - What's on his face? Dirt?
- No, it's non-healing ulcers. It's the radiation sickness ...
 -Radiation sickness?
 - Yes, it's a terrible disease. There is a country of Japan. An atomic bomb was dropped onto it during the last war. This boy is one of the thousands who suffered the terrible atomic bombing.
 -Atomic bomb?
Ada looked into the eyes of Nao and picked up the magazine.
-Well, listen. I'll read  for you: "The city was burning. Human bodies were all over the streets - some dead, others shows signs of life. Those who were still alive looked even worse than dead. People lost their eyes from the explosion. They crawled through the streets trying to find the way to the river to quench their terrible thirst. They no longer looked like human beings but rather resembled the larvae that fell onto the burning pavement and now hopelessly swarmed."
Nao put his hand on Ada's. His glance was distant. He suddenly said:
-The atomic bomb? Is there a huge mushroom at the time of explosion and does it get hot like second sun?
Ada is startled.
- Well, yes ... But how do you know?
- We used to be what is written in this magazine ... We were a great cultural nation but we have created the scorching sun. Whatever we've created had destroyed us... People were suffering from pain biting their tongues out. The land was burning, the sea was burning, the air was hot and the stars were falling from the sky. People were dying even from drinking water because it was bitter. The locusts came out of the large mushroom and they have tormented people with terrible suffering. People were looking for death and did not find it. That world died. Only a handful of people survived. We are their descendants. I am one of them. Since then, much time has passed. Now I understood. You came out of the world, which was similar to ours. And it turns out that you have created its own atomic bomb? Yeah?
Ada impulsively grabbed his hand Nao.
 -But not only the atomic bomb ... I ... I ... saw a terrible ray of the ocean. It is even worse. He lifted up into the sky atoll.
- And we flew the earth, and as the beam was. He burned all the death and completed ...
Ada picked up the magazine. Looked at a photo of  Japanese boys.
-Nao, dear, I think a lot about life. There is nothing more beautiful than to see, feel, think, love. I want to cry with joy that I am alive. And the man who has no control over his life created a threat to all life! So, where is the triumph of beauty and love? I ... I ... feel the shortness of life. Look here - and, scooping up a handful of sand could she looked as grains of sand trickled through her fingers in thin jets.
Ada closed her eyes showing charming rigor at the mouth and chin.
- Nao, you're beautiful ... I ... I ... think I love you. But there everything is coming to an end ... The atomic bomb, and the scorching ray. I have to do something but I do not know what.
Nao jumped to his feet. His face flushed with passion. His voice is agitated.
- Isle of ... my island. It's our refuge it will hide you too...
Turning the magazine, Ada looked through it as if it was a telescope. She looked to the sky and the ocean.
- Yes, yes, I'll hide here, end up in security. But what will happen to them, what will happen to all the men. They do not realize that the terrible ray has already been added to the bomb we knew. I saw it ...
Nao reached for the magazine again. Stares at the boy's face.
- You know Ada I know a great secret. The secret is from our own lost centuries ... It is there on the cliff near the ocean. Come on I have to show you...
They walk along the sandy shore. The surf. The alarm cry of gulls.
They've reached a stone wall. There is a narrow cleft in it. The boy and girl enter the cave. Twilight. Nao raised his hand. Drawings of ships, submarines, jet aircraft, missiles and flying atomic bomb (!) is scrawling on a smooth polished rock visible in gold evening light.
Ada is shocked. She has narrowed her eyes and put her hand on a rock.
- So, all this has happened?
Nao took a step to the side, put both hands on the shoulders of Ada.
- Now, look in the bottom corner. You're the first human being allowed to see the secret.
x
Above the picture of the water surface Ada made out a clear picture of the pyramid of human figures. A little to one side scratched mysterious signs and figures.
- Pyramid of the people? What does it mean?
Nao is concentrating, he is almost strict. His every word sounds quiet but solemn.
- This is the formula of the sun. It has a full explanation of the truth and operation of a great multitude of heavenly stars. Those stars are Guardian of the Universe. This formula has hidden energy that has no limit ... He who penetrates the essence of this formula will know the truth and will never feel hatred and violence. He would only have the desire for goodness and beauty ...
Ada's eyes sparkled with joyful gleam.
- The Truth! The formula of the sun ... So this is the formula of the Peace! It is against war, murder ... But why didn't you people sought it to preserve their civilization?
- All the men were under the influence of those who created those terrible murder weapon.
- Listen Nao my father is a scientist - a physicist, and he told me: Find a formula of the sun and the world will be saved. Do you think it's the same formula? Look at the pyramid of men. How simple and clear. I must remember all this. Better yet I'll do it this way.
Ada sat on the sand and found a sharp stone. She started scratching the rock symbols and formula of the sun on her left wrist using the stone.
 -Well, now I will not forget. Something is not right with my memory. I didn’t have that problem before... I am afraid that the beam affects the memory.
Ada went into the ocean, washed her hands in salt water and laughing merrily started spraying surprised Nao.
- Now the formula is always with me. Dear Nao I feel good on your island. But I must go. Everything I've learned here I must tell my people. Let's go together? You will see our world, it is beautiful and we will be happy.
- But I cannot leave my people. I am needed here.
Ada walked in the shadow of the rock. She sat on the sand hugging her knees. She closed her eyes. Nao walked over to her and picked her up and began to whirl her around. He gently lowered her to the soft grass.
- Nao, dear ... You are so strong...
- Are you sure you need to go?
- Now, yes. I am obliged to help people. Otherwise, they will die.
 -And if I had not shown you all this?
 -I would have stayed. Cute Nao, kiss me ... kiss me for a long, long time...
 -You have soft lips.
 -Kiss harder. That's it. Your kisses are sweet. I want to remember them. We are as one now.
- We are as one.
 - Am I beautiful?
  -As the dawn. I want to always look at you.
 - I like it when you look at me.
  - I feel like we are alone in the whole world.
    -I love you. You are gentle and brave...
    -I love you. You are the kind of power I'll miss...
    -I'll be your strength - and he took the plate of gold covered in mysterious signs off his chest. -This is for you, it will bring you good luck...
Clutching it to her lips,  like a precious gift, Ada wandered to her raft on the shoal.
. Her bare shoulders are shaking and tears running down her cheeks.
Nao stood in indecision for a few moments then caught up to Ada in two giant leaps lifting her and gently placing her on the raft...
A familiar whistle of the dolphin Toby is heard from the ocean...
-Ada, Ada, I'm waiting for you!
x
Once again in the great calm ocean. Clear cloudless sky. Hot and bright sun. Ada rows her life raft next to the dolphin Toby. Ada dropped the oars for a moment. Wiped sweat off her face with the tip of her dress. Took in the empty horizon with her long tired eyes. And then there was a snow-white liner appeared just like a mirage. The soft breeze delivered sounds of engine and cheerful music.
-Tobi dear look! It's our salvation!
Ada began to fuss with happy face. She grabbed the emergency flare gun from the locker and a red rocket soared into the empty sky.
The ship was coming towards her.
x
On the bridge of a passenger liner signalman on duty staring through binoculars and report:
- Captain, straight ahead is a life raft with the woman on it!
The captain just looked through the binoculars:
- A woman? In the ocean? Unbelievable ... Where did she come from? And if I'm not blind it is really a woman. A hundred devils!
- Yes, sir, a woman ... She send a signal for help ...
- On this "Cork"? She may be a Martian that came down from the heavens?
The captain continues to look at Ada with binoculars. As they move closer he clearly see her bare shoulders, arms and face.
- Oh, yes she is sweet. Shall we take this beauty on board? Look at her, she has an exotic outfit! Just in time for our Carnival ... Her appearance will be a sea surprise. Stop the car! The officer on duty, drop the boat into the water! !
                x
Ada is saying her farewell to the dolphin. Toby leaned out of the water and put his head in her knees. He made a squeak that in the dolphin language means:
-I will be near, Ada. You be careful. I dont like this ship all that much. The music is too loud. I'll be nearby...
x
Cleaving the waters there is a motor boat coming to her rescue. Dolphin made a farewell circle and disappeared from view. The boat come closer and soon touched the raft.
Ada stretched her hand out and leaving the raft was on the boat. Saved.
x
The ship's deck sparkles with sea cleanliness. Once on the deck Ada sighed with relief. Leaned against the railing. Moved her hands through tangled mess of hair. Looked anxiously around. The Captain ran up to her with feline gait and open arms.
-Madam, I am pleased to introduce myself, Willie Cooper, captain of the ship "Medusa." We welcome marine beauty onboard. I hope that you will be more comfortable here than on your ark. Is not it?
Captain pleased with himself. Slightly bending his head he stopped waiting for an unexpected passenger to extend her hand for a kiss.
Ada smiled wearily.
-Sir Captain ... I ... I - but then she noticed that the captain was staring at her scratched wrist. She pricked her ears and quickly hid it behind her back - sorry Captain Cooper, can you tell me where is your boat bound?
The captain smiled slyly. Winked standing next to the boatswain.
- Hmm ... He goes to heaven. And we are voluntary wanderers of the seas and oceans ...
Ada looked puzzled at the captain.
 - Ok, then I have to ask you ...
Expressing impatience, the captain made a helpful gesture, as if waiting for any orders from charming passenger.
- Captain, my name is Ada Morris. I committed on the round the world yacht voyage. During a hurricane my yacht crashed and what you are about to hear would certainly seem like improbable fiction but it's true. I was among the people of a vanished civilization. I just got from them. They entrusted me with an important secret. With it people can know the truth of life. And that means no more wars. They will not hate each other. And I saw a fire in the ocean of the beam and flying of the atoll. Captain I must go to Sydney to warn of the danger that threatens all humanity. It is so important ...
The captain's eyes gleamed.
-Your story is fit for a science fiction novel. Even if everything you say is true I cannot help you.
-But, sir, I ask ...
- I understand you - Captain politely interrupted Ada - but you and I should understand, company owns the ship and I'm just the captain. And it's not an easy small boat. This one holds one thousand passengers. They paid for their trip. Do you hear the music? They are having fun. Can you imagine what would happen if we interrupt their pleasure?
The captain looked for the boatswain.
- Yes, sir.
-Show Miss Ada into the guests of honour cabin. And take care of her comfort ...
Ada smiled slightly.
-Thank you, Captain ... You are so kind...
x
Luxury cabin. Ada jumped on the bed and rolled on her back. Carefully examined the arm. The skin cuts were inflamed in places. She picked up the hem of her dress, tore off the tape without hesitation and bandaged her hand.
A quiet knock at the door.
Ada waited.
- Who's there?
The door opened a crack. Boatswain's head.
- Ada Morrison ...
  -You know my name?
- I have recognised you straight away. You are the very same the famous yachts woman and trainer of dolphins. Everybody seen the "Ariadne" send off on TV.
- So what? Boat no longer exists. Leave me alone. I'm tired and I need to rest.
- But, Miss Ada, I have to tell something important ...
  -Okay, okay, but not now ...
-  Then it may be too late. Way too late. Do not trust the captain. I overheard his conversation with the boss on the internet. They do not like that you have witnessed the test, the top-secret weapon test. And the captain intends to lock you in the cabin. He just pretends he does not know you ...
  -Excuse me, I do not know your name ...
- Mr. Hill. I am boatswain
- Listen, Mr. Hill, but why are you helping me? After all you are a member of the crew and you are at risk if you are telling the truth.
 - I have my own accounts with them. One more thing: there is a World Women's Congress In Sydney. The boss has warned the captain to prevent you from establishing contact with them, no matter what.
Ada clasped her hands.
- Congress of Women? Oh God, this is exactly what I need... But how do I get to Sydney?
 - I do not know, I do not know - with these words the boatswain slipped out of the cabin ..
Ada is worried. Nervously biting her lower lip. Waited a moment after the boatswain and came out into the corridor. Dance music is blaring from above. Maze of corridors and a wide stairway. The glass door of the guest cabin. Scored a hollow deep breath. Crossed. Strode forward.
Bright light blinded brave yachtswoman. Ada's eyes narrowed from the flash. His eyes took in men in black tuxedos, gorgeous ladies in evening dresses, princess costumes, courtesans, the Royal Musketeers. All this mass of moving bodies filled the dance lounge. They were laughing and screaming, hooted at the mercy of violent music and champagne.
Ada squandered looks around. Her eyes are wide open. Someone abruptly pushed her in the back despite herself she was in the arms of the carnival.
 In her dress the colour of ripe cherries ripped in places and with scattered hairs Ada looked like a beautiful Cinderella.
Ada is concentrating. Assessing the situation she rushed up to the stage. She said something to the conductor. The orchestra went silent. Setting the pianist aside she sat at the piano. Fresh music of Wagner burst into the salon. Hundreds of eyes are on her. She suddenly stopped playing.
Ada at the microphone. A sharp look at the crowd's surprise. Her voice trembled slightly.
 -Attention! All I ask is the attention! ..
 Lounging in the soft sofas two drunken men looking at Ada with drunken eyes. Glass in hand one of them nodded in Ada's direction.
- Listen, Charles, from which the cabin is this baby? Yes, she's lovely ...
Ada took a breath. Clapped her hands.
 -I just got up on board. My name is Ada Morison. I am a yachtswoman. My boat crashed. In the ocean, I saw a blinding ray of fire. It raised an island from the ocean into the sky. I almost died, but by the will of fate was saved and met with people of a vanished civilization. They have no relation to us the people of twenty-first century. They are ancient. And they revealed to me the secret formula of the sun. It will save us all from death. Let us go together to the captain and demand to turn the boat to Sydney, where the World Congress of Women is now convened. We will give them the formula of the Peace.
 - It's funny! Interesting idea. Oh right, it must be a sci-fi. Or maybe it's from Ray Bradbury? - Cried a stout lady in a lace dress. - If you want, I can write something incredible too - the lady screamed - here it is, listen. There is a rarest bird with golden feathers found on the islands of Krizy. Do you not believe me? So here is a feather. It's priceless ... Ha-ha-ha! Well, how do you like it baby? - And the lady raised her white hat with a feather ...
   Ada swung her hair.
- Madam, save this tale of golden feathers for my grandchildren ... I came to you ...
- Has the law of universal gravitation have already been cancelled - ironically interrupted her tall blond man - perhaps our ship turns into the Flying Dutchman after the story with your flying island?
From these remarks the crowd laughed merrily and for a moment Ada was thrown but then she regained herself and continued with flashing eyes:
- Our life, life on earth is in danger. Your ship is on the course to "paradise", or so I am told by the captain. But very near in this ocean the tragedy has taken place. The ocean is the source of life. Oh, I would never for a moment wanted you to see how it all happened ...
And then Ada to her horror saw the captain moving toward her accompanied by the tall sailor parting the crowd.
- Do not listen, do not listen to this insane person! - thundered his voice - I picked her up in the ocean. Whatever she says - it's nonsense. Look at her! She has lost her mind and she is dangerous ...
Clutching a microphone with your fingers Ada shouted struggling:
- You should be afraid! Do you want to lock me up? But I will find a way to get to the shore! - And recoiling from the microphone pushed the glass door out. Once in the hallway she ran through salons and corridors climbing numerous ladders. She bumped into the passengers bringing them down to the ground, grew confused trying to get away from her pursuers. In one of the corners a young couple was kissing. Ada wanted to say something to them but seeing opened hatch dived into it instead.
The roar of engines engine room charmed Ada for a moment. She admired the mystery of the mechanisms just for a few seconds. But seeing the captain and sailors approaching her, rushed up the spiral ramp and found herself in a long corridor. Leaned against the wall. But then someone grabbed her tightly by the arm. Shouting Ada made an attempt to free himself, but seeing that this is the ship's boatswain calmed down.
- Shh, do not be afraid. Follow me. They will rip you apart. I will hide you.
- To hide me? No, no! Anything but that! Please, show me the cabin where I was.
Wild voices and running feet in the depth of the corridor:
- Here, here she is!
The boatswain turned around blocking Ada from view:
-The third door on the right, but run faster!
Casting grateful glance on the boatswain, Ada was in the cabin. The lock clicked behind her. The door shook under the blows of her fists and feet.
- Open the door! Open! You have nothing to fear!
Ada jumped on the bed. She closed her eyes with his hands.
- Oh, my God! What kind of people ...
She jumped up in the tiny cabin. Looked at the plate Nao given her. Pressed to her lips. Stuck her head out the window and saw a dolphin Toby in the water below.
-Toby! Toby, I am coming, wait for me - moving a chair to the wall, climbed on it and slipped out the window legs forward. Fingers clutching the porthole. Wind ruffled her hair. Nothing but the ocean below her feet. No turning back now. She released her grip and pushed herself off the board ...
x
Ship as moving away like a floating white castle. Loud lively music spreading wide across the ocean. Ship was moving forward on its entertainer course.
                x
The silent world of water. Ada is on the water. Her arms and legs widely spread on the sides. She looks into the deep blue of the sky. Good friend the dolphin Tobi is next to her.
x
Fishing boat came unexpectedly.
Ada released from their embrace with Tobi. Swam to the boat and grabbed the side. Peeping overboard she saw an old man sleeping.
- Hey, hey - she called out in a weak voice.
A woman's voice woke the old man. Surprised he looked over the side.
-Ada?
- Well, yes, it is me, your student. You are my dear Peter. Please let me enter through the front door
Peter was lost for a moment from the surprise and joy of this unexpected meeting. However he pulled Ada into the boat showering himself with dripping water.
- Well, well. What a wonder. Let my eyes burst, but I see the incomparable Ada! Here is the catch. You can only dream about this fish...
Ada laughs and throws the old man affectionate glances overjoyed with unexpected meeting, wrings the water out of hair and her dress.
-Oh, dear Peter, let me kiss you - and Ada clung her lips to his bristly cheek happily laughing.
Peter just laughs, smoothed her hair with his hand, and suddenly shook his head:
 - But how? You're in the middle of the ocean and without "Ariadne" - Peter looked around the empty horizon - or have you decided to swim across the ocean instead? So where is the Ariadne,? Since you've left the radio and television report news about your trip Around the World. Even in such a holy boaters place as Cape Horn the TV people were stepping on your heels. Tell me where is the beauty? Hidden in the ocean?
 - Well, well, hidden. And again, forever. I was in the centre of the typhoon. No, it was not a typhoon, but something inexplicable. I do not know how she survived. The Lord God took pity. But I saw something much worse than all the terrible typhoons ... I... Me.
 And in this moment there was a splash and a squeal behind the boat.
Peter looked up sharply over the side.
-Dolphin? See, Ada, yes, he laughs. Here are the wonders ...
- Yes, do you not remember? It's Tobi. Well, remember, you liked him to play ball. See the white mark on his forehead?
 - And it's true Tobi, forgive an old man that did not recognize an old friend. Something with my eyes.
- Oh, Peter, if it were not for Tobi, he saved me.
Ada clutched her head with her hands. Rested her chin on her knees. She is looking somewhere off into the distance without blinking. A voice comes almost to a whisper.
- After Ariadne death Tobi took me on a mysterious island. It is as if the land is not marked on nautical charts. And there live special people, descendants of the lost civilization. They have no memory and are deprived of happiness. They sheltered me and dedicated to the great mystery. She, she ... oh Lord, what is happening to me ... something with the memory, all was forgotten - and she clasped her temples.
Peter feels that trouble befallen Ada. Trying to reassure her:
- Well, Well ... you're tired, tell me later.
Ada suddenly quickened.
 - Oh, Peter, I have seen this. Oh, let me get myself together. Well, listen, Bikini Island hovered over the ocean. Yes, yes, an island. And please, do not think that I am out of my mind. Island was really up in the air. And then fell to the same place. And this wave was ... Oh, God ...
Peter held his hand over his short, grizzled beard. He smiled. Said tenderly.
-Ada, you're lovely ...
- Dear Peter, believe me, I really saw an island rose into the sky and then fell back into the ocean. And there was a tsunami wave. A beam is a bright, bright light pierced the sky blinding, and even burned my eyes. The beam flared from the giant ship looking like a flying saucer ...
Ada was silent, trying to recall. Frowned. Peter pricked up his ears
- I had heard something about the antigravitone, but did not think that this is possible ...
Ada took Peter's hand and pressed it to her eyes.
- I was left blind by that light. I guess I was lucky. I turned away when I saw it. Otherwise I could have ultimately lost my memory ...
Peter gently pressed her palms of her hands.
- Scum. I wish to have them in my hands. Well, okay. Let's celebrate our meeting. I have something for a special occasion.
Peter began to fuss. Fashioned a tablecloth out of the sails. Set the porcelain tea set.
On our Spartan table we have dried golden mackerel, kilo of nuts, colour and vivacity, lemon, freshly harvested rocky oysters and this is your favourite crackers from the wheat grain...
Peter dived into the cabin again and soon appeared with a wooden keg in his hands.
- My dear girl, this is your favourite beverage, Bread Cider.
- Here is a surprise! Bread Cider. It is better than wine, wonderfully quenches thirst.
-Do you remember Ada, the transatlantic race we had with you? Our yacht flew like an albatross despite the headwind.
 Ada threw a mischievous look at Peter.
- We had no one trod on our heels back then...
Peter shrugged his shoulders, smiled sadly.
-Past is past and now I am having fun being alone. Love been in the drift. Love the silence and have plenty of room.
Ada laughed softly
-And you also have a talent of catching drifting women from the water my dear Peter
Peter smiled slyly.
- Beautiful drifting women.
- And where are we now? In what part of the world? I am lost in a maze like the mythical Theseus.
Peter opened the map and pointed a finger at the point in the Pacific Ocean.
- Here.
- How many days from Sydney?
Peter rubbed his forehead.
- With a good wind we'll be there in five days ...
Ada leaned against the mast:
-Wonderful! Sydney hosts the International Congress of Women and we must bring them to the formula of the Peace.
-Formula of the Peace? What's the formula?
- Oh, Peter. Did I have you not told about it? A young Islander Nao showed it to me and gave it to me at the end. This is the formula of peace. It will save the world from ruin. I will tell you all about it. But we must not lose time and be in Sydney as soon as possible.
- Well, so what's the deal? Set sails!
Peters's boat headed for Sydney caught in the fresh wind. Their good friend dolphin Toby followed the boat playing in the waves.

Sydney Bay. A strong wind. Rene and Fred are on the shore. They watch a boat entering the Bay with interest. Driven by the wind with swollen sails it looks like a white moth.
-Look, look, Fred, that's an old Peter's boat. He is the only one who can manage this boat with such style ...
- And who is this praised Peter?
- Peter? Every vagabond knows Peter. He used to take first-class regatta prizes. And now you see him in the old boat alone
-Has he sold his yacht?
- No, Peter would have never sold his racing vessel. Misfortune has befallen him. Ten years ago during the sailing races in the Pacific Ocean he was caught in the area of atomic bomb testing. Radioactive rain covered him. Since then he lives on this "shell". She is as dear to him as a house. He doesn't come to the shore. Radiation has damaged his feet ...
- Well, where is his racing yacht?
- She remains ocean since that fateful day. Friends have him this boat...
- Yes, he is a sailor ...
- Look, Fred! He's got a woman. Wait a minute, wait a minute it is Ada if I'm not blind! It is Ada!
- Ada? Where did she come from? She's sailing around the world on the "Ariadna". It must not be her? No, it's her, I would recognise her beauty in the middle of the night.
                x

Peter at the steering wheel. Keenly watching the sails. Waiting for berthing time. And when it seemed that the boat would hit the stone jetty, sail suddenly trembled and collapsed on the deck.
Ada sighed with relief.
- Well, that's Sydney. The best city in the world. But what is waiting for us here? Perhaps we will keep our arrival secret for a time being. Dear Peter do you see that vessel under the French flag? Hide behind his body and be ready. Who knows we may need to be on the run again. Well, I'll try to find the Congress ...
Gently kissing each other Ada jumped onto the dock and waved good-bye with her hand, hastily rushed into the city centre.
                x
Departing from the port of Ada collided with Renee.
-Ada!
-  Rene? Here's a surprise. I'm so glad ...
-You are alive and cheerful as always. So it was you on the boat along with Peter. We have heard a farewell requiem for thee...
- Requiem? Nonsense. You see, I'm alive before you ...
- I see. But the press. You know the press, she relished your encounter with a hurricane like heroism, and, well, okay, let me hug you with joy ...
- I would have to disappoint them. I have something to say to them ...
- That will be fun when they see you. But where is "Ariadna"? I do not see her ...
- I'll tell you everything later. First what do you know about the Women's Congress?
- It occurs in the central concert hall.
-O, Rene, I have to be at the Congress. I have an important message ...
-Message?
- Oh Renee, I'll tell you everything later, but now every minute is precious ... Can you help me to get to the Congress?
-In this attire? - Rene swept her with astonished gaze.
- I have no time for dress ups
- Let's go ahead. My jeep is nearby.
Elegant Rene and Ada covered in tropical tan, in a torn red dress raced up a crowded street holding hands. Surprised passers-by look at the unusual couple. Someone cried:
-Look, it's Ada!
And here is the Renee's Jeep. Slammed the door. Rene is at the wheel. The engine roared and they rush to Congress.
x
Entrance to the Palace of Congresses. On-call service and security at the door.
Renee nodded to Ada.
-Follow me. I will distracted them and you pass them by. Okay?
Rene moved to the open door stepping firmly with an air of indifference to everything human.
Broad-shouldered bruiser rose before him.
-Invitation!
Pretending to be a simpleton, Rene grimaced.
-What kind of invitation? I'm alone going on a date with women. Is it banned?
-Look, buddy, there is no place for meetings. Want me to call the police?
- Well, why the police straight away. Let's see if can find another solution...
Gesticulating, as if unwillingly Renee steps back and slowly sweeps along with the attendant. Ada slipped into the open door in the free space occupied by the guard previously.
x
Huge hall. Women from around the world sitting in the chairs. There is a plenary session. Japanese delegate was delivering a speech. After finishing it she leaves the podium. And then Ada ran onto the stage from behind the scenes. Bright electric light. Thousands of expectant faces. In the first instant Ada was confused. Bare feet wide apart, in a torn cherry-colour dress Ada looked like a mystery of nature and the female beauty. Lowered her eyes for a moment. Stood there gripped by indecision for a few seconds. And then, as if in defiance of an unequal battle, clapped her hands.
- Dear women! Dear friends. My name is Ada ... I just got back from the ocean. It was said that I was killed by the hurricane. But as you can see am here. And I brought you something very important ...
And then something happened.
Ada got herself together and took a pause.
Deep silence in the hall.
Whispers began spreading.
Chairwoman is at loss.
The board is confused. We hear the rustle and voices in the room, but then as bursting volcano burst of applause from the hall, and the voices cried:
- Ada!
- Hi-Ada!
- Ada, Ada!
- We want hear you out!
-Tell us what happened to you? ..
 Ada spoke again:
- Long, long time ago the land was inhabited by monsters troglodytes. They were so bloodthirsty that they ate their own babies ... Do you think those bastards became extinct? No! People with troglodyte character are living among us. They are the monsters of our enlightened age. They have created and continue to create a terrible weapons, arms, tools of murder. They deprive people of memory, turn them into animals. Us women we give people lives, we must stop them. Look how many of us here - Ada's hand described an arc in the air - ... life ... life is the most wonderful and we must save and protect it
Ada fell silent once again. She look around at the presiding board, the hall, and as if remembered something threw her left hand up.
- I saw a flying island over the ocean... troglodytes ... they are going to sweep our land... I was visiting with descendants of vanished civilization after a nuclear war ... the remainder of their people ... they have given me the formula ... they have given me the formula of life and the peace and the truth. Here it is!
Ada pulled the bandage off her hand.
 - Look!
But then she was terrified, the wrist was clean, without traces of scratches done in the presence of Nao.
Ada shocked. Fingers gripped the temples. It's obvious that she is trying to remember. She whispers to herself: " Oh, Lord, what's wrong with me? Memory. Memory ... again ... forgot ... forgot ..."
The tense silence of the room. The sound of sympathetic words from the first rows.
- What is it?
- It seems bad.
- She is  trembling.
- Tell us Ada, we're all listening ...
-She could barely stand on his feet. We should call the doctors ...
Ada screws up her eyes. The surrounds are mixed, lurched, spun and floated.
Ada swung smiling apologetically, and waving her hand to somebody rushed from the scene ..

Rene is sitting in a picturesque park next to the Congress building. Seeing running Ada he hailed her with joy:
- Ada! How was it?
-Oh, Renee. Something terrible has happened, I do not know how to explain. Look there's nothing on my hand
-What should there be? A hand like a hand. Beautiful. Allow me to kiss it ...
-Oh, Renee, Renee, I had the formula of peace on this arm. It was all scratched and bleeding. And now it all gone. I did not take into account that the salt water of the ocean heals the wound. You see, there is nothing ... and ... there is more ... It seems like I'm losing the memory ... I do not remember ... I had learned the formula cannot remember ... oh, Lord ... blinding ray... Fire ...
Rene serious.
- Ray?
- Yes, a ray. I'll tell you all about it but we have to hurry back into port. Now all hope is on Toby and Peter. I I have told them the formula. Let's hurry up.
                x
But neither Rene no Ada have noticed Clode following them. He heard everything they said from first to the last word. And when Ada and Renee jumped into the jeep and rushed toward the port they were followed by Clode in his Mercedes.
The speed is tremendous. Glimpses of streets, alleys, houses in Sydney. Without losing sight of the Renee's car Clode is shouting into the microphone.
- Reed and Phil immediately to port. That tramp Peter is there in his tin boat. Him and his smartypants. Take care of him. Dispatch John and Smith to the lighthouse with machine guns. Shoot at the dolphin when you see him. The sea swine knows too much!
                x
Anxious screaming gulls. Troubled Sydney Bay. Peter's boat is nervously touching the black side of transport vessel. On the deck, arms stretched out, face up, lying lifeless old sailor Peter. His eyes forever fixed in the endless sky ...
                x
Ada is on the sandbar of Sydney Harbour. She is anxious. Wind tear at her hair and clothes. Spray is flying at her bare feet. Adding the mouthpiece of the palm trying to shout over the noise of the surf:
-Toby Toby Toby!
When he heard a desperate cry of Ada dolphin swims to shore. He is near. Very close.
Terrorists are on top of the lighthouse. Floating dolphin is in the rifle viewer.
Shot. One shot, two shots. Spray of bullets.
But there are more dolphins. Shooting continues. Bob shooting at dolphins from the sea level. Killing innocent children of the ocean.
Standing in the water Ada trying to shout the firing weapons down stretching out her hands.
- No, no! Stop it! Stop! What are you doing! Murderers!
      
                -X-

Rene, police, port workers and the delegates of the congress running toward the lighthouse where the terrorists taken hold. We hear their voices.
- Ada! Ada! Ada! We are with you!
                x
Terrified terrorists, seeing the mass of people approaching them cowardly abandoned their rifles and run away from the lighthouse.
                x
Ada is standing on the sandy beach. Her face is wet. Her hair is dishevelled. Prayer and hope in her eyes.
Breaking the waves dolphin Toby swims to Ada.
In the cascade of splashes, blue sky and bright sun joyful Ada rushes to him.
-Oh, Toby, dear Toby! You found me! Oh, Lord, how glad I am. Oh, Toby, we won!
The dolphin and the girl glide over the clear water in the freefall.
