Slunce zapadalo \u010d\u00edm d\u00e1l n\u00ed\u017e, barbarsk\u00e1 tma v kr\u00e1sn\u00fdch odst\u00ednech v\u00ednov\u00e9 a zlat\u00e9, maskuj\u00edc\u00ed naprost\u00fd chaos tak, \u017ee se osa-osa mihotala v otev\u0159en\u00e9m v\u011btru.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Prvn\u00edm p\u0159\u00edznakem pot\u00ed\u017e\u00ed byl chaotick\u00fd, tikaj\u00edc\u00ed zvuk na obzoru. Ze sv\u00e9 pozice Jason zahl\u00e9dl jedin\u00e9ho velk\u00e9ho pt\u00e1ka let\u00edc\u00edho bl\u00edzko letov\u00e9 dr\u00e1hy letadla.

Jeho hlin\u00edkov\u00fd trup. Tito pt\u00e1ci v\u0161ak neuposlechli v\u0161echny p\u0159irozen\u00e9 instinkty. M\u00edsto vzletu se vzn\u00e1\u0161eli za pilotn\u00ed palubou a agresivn\u011b krou\u017eili nad p\u0159edn\u00edm sklonem kokpitu. Jason m\u00edrn\u011b upravil v\u00fd\u0161ku, aby zachytil podstatu prostoru, a p\u0159ijal to jako anom\u00e1lii. B\u011bhem n\u011bkolika sekund podez\u0159en\u00ed vzrostlo, kdy\u017e p\u0159ed prvn\u00edm p\u0159ilet\u011bl dal\u0161\u00ed pt\u00e1k, pak dal\u0161\u00ed t\u0159i, pak tucet, a vytvo\u0159ili masivn\u00ed, synchronizovanou formaci v po\u0159ad\u00ed s p\u0159il\u00e9taj\u00edc\u00edm hejnem.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Co za\u010dalo jako \u00fa\u017easn\u00fd pohled, se rychle prom\u011bnilo v nenasytnou no\u010dn\u00ed m\u016fru. Jak se letoun bl\u00ed\u017eil k okraji m\u011bsta, obloha se za\u010dala stm\u00edvat, ne temnotou bou\u0159e, ale siln\u00fdm, v\u00ed\u0159iv\u00fdm v\u00edrem tis\u00edc\u016f pt\u00e1k\u016f stoupaj\u00edc\u00edm z korun strom\u016f pod n\u00edm. Zd\u00e1lo se, \u017ee vojensk\u00fd \u00fatok byl koordinovan\u00fd. Des\u00edtky pt\u00e1k\u016f za\u010daly na letoun \u00fato\u010dit, agresivn\u011b nar\u00e1\u017eely do trupu a ov\u00edjely se kolem k\u0159\u00eddel.

Jasonovi se rozbu\u0161ilo srdce v hrudi, jako by si uv\u011bdomil, \u017ee nen\u00ed p\u0159\u00edli\u0161 nerv\u00f3zn\u00ed; aktivn\u011b \u00fato\u010dili na letoun s chamtivou vytrvalost\u00ed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Pete jednal v Jasonov\u011b zastoupen\u00ed, kdy\u017e bojoval s cherub\u00edny a sna\u017eil se uniknout jejich nel\u00edtostn\u00e9mu nep\u0159\u00edteli. Jakmile se vznesl, pt\u00e1ci se s n\u00edm okam\u017eit\u011b vznesli a nep\u0159eru\u0161ili st\u00e1le rostouc\u00ed plynulost sv\u00e9ho letu. Jeho lev\u00e1 ruka prudce klesla a ope\u0159en\u00e1 ze\u010f se plynule pohnula, zablokovala jim cestu a bzu\u010dela jim, aby pokra\u010dovali v letu. Ani Jason, ani \u017e\u00e1dn\u00fd jin\u00fd pilot nemohli uniknout d\u016fvodu, pro\u010d se dopustili takov\u00e9 bezprecedentn\u00ed, sebedestruktivn\u00ed agrese. Zd\u00e1lo se, jako by se p\u0159\u00edrodn\u00ed z\u00e1kony zcela zhroutily. P\u0159ed nimi se ty\u010dila hrozn\u00e1 sc\u00e9na a riziko katastrof\u00e1ln\u00ed pohromy nad hust\u011b os\u00eddlenou oblast\u00ed rostlo s ka\u017edou vte\u0159inou. Jason v\u011b\u0159il, \u017ee jejich jedin\u00e1 nad\u011bje spo\u010d\u00edv\u00e1 v prora\u017een\u00ed v\u011b\u010dn\u011b \u017eivouc\u00ed temnoty, a tak se vzn\u00e1\u0161el, prudce sestupoval dol\u016f, p\u0159esv\u011bd\u010den, \u017ee rostouc\u00ed plynulost jejich letu vezme \u017eivot tvora za nimi.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Nej\u00fa\u017easn\u011bj\u0161\u00ed man\u00e9vr se zcela nezda\u0159il. Pt\u00e1ci rozt\u00e1hli k\u0159\u00eddla a let\u011bli rovnob\u011b\u017en\u011b s padaj\u00edc\u00edm letadlem \u2013 tich\u00e1 flotila miniaturn\u00edch pt\u00e1k\u016f. Ohlu\u0161uj\u00edc\u00ed r\u00e1na ot\u0159\u00e1sla celou kabinou. Obrovsk\u00e9ho pt\u00e1ka vt\u00e1hlo p\u0159\u00edmo do pravobokov\u00e9ho motoru. Na konzoli kokpitu se okam\u017eit\u011b rozsv\u00edtila \u010derven\u00e1 v\u00fdstra\u017en\u00e1 sv\u011btla a pod n\u00edm se ozvala \u017e\u00edzniv\u00e1 vibrace. Po\u0161kozen\u00fd motor za\u010dal sy\u010det a zhas\u00ednat, \u010d\u00edm\u017e se p\u0159id\u00e1val k hust\u00e9mu \u0161eru \u010dern\u00e9ho kou\u0159e stoupaj\u00edc\u00edmu v odpoledn\u00edm v\u00e1nku.

V prostoru pro cestuj\u00edc\u00ed se rozpoutala panika, kdy\u017e ze st\u011bn padaly \u0161e\u0159\u00edkov\u00e9 masky a z\u00e1vratn\u00e1 ztr\u00e1ta v\u00fd\u0161ky rozh\u00e1zela p\u0159edm\u011bty pod\u00e9l uli\u010dek. Lid\u00e9 si pod\u00e1vali ruce, plakali a p\u0159ipravovali se na nejhor\u0161\u00ed. Jason s \u00fa\u017easem hled\u011bl z okna a zahl\u00e9dl vojenskou signaturu: karm\u00ednovou, izolovanou, zlatou tmu, kter\u00e1 hust\u011b pokr\u00fdvala b\u0159ehy majest\u00e1tn\u00edho, vzd\u00e1len\u00e9ho jezera. Z\u016fstal jen jeden funk\u010dn\u00ed motor a tolik pt\u00e1k\u016f mi st\u00e1le zakr\u00fdvalo v\u00fdhled a p\u0159ipravovalo se na morbidn\u00ed nouzov\u00e9 p\u0159ist\u00e1n\u00ed. Jason let\u011bl jen p\u00e1r metr\u016f nad hranic\u00ed lesa, spustil podvozek a bojoval s bo\u010dn\u00edm v\u011btrem, kter\u00fd siln\u011b v\u00e1l p\u0159es \u0161t\u011brkovou p\u0159ist\u00e1vac\u00ed sm\u011bs. Pneumatiky se siln\u011b tla\u010dily k h\u0159ebeni a zask\u0159\u00edpaly, kdy\u017e letadlo n\u00e1hle kleslo n\u011bkolik metr\u016f od b\u0159ehu.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
V kabin\u011b se rozhostilo naprost\u00e9 ticho, n\u00e1sledovan\u00e9 kolektivn\u00edm v\u00fdbuchem slz a radostn\u00e9ho muml\u00e1n\u00ed. Z\u00e1pach byl v\u0161udyp\u0159\u00edtomn\u00fd a navzdory v\u0161em pach\u016fm z\u016fst\u00e1vala konstrukce draku letadla v chaosu. Ale testy zdaleka nekon\u010dily. Kdy\u017e se Jason pod\u00edval z okna kabiny, spat\u0159il chamtiv\u00fd pohled. Tis\u00edce pt\u00e1k\u016f po p\u0159ist\u00e1n\u00ed neodlet\u011bly. Vy\u010derp\u00e1n\u00ed zp\u016fsoben\u00e9 z\u00e1pachem zcela pokrylo zem kolem paluby a odhrnulo jej\u00ed siln\u00fd, klaustrofobick\u00fd obal. Z\u00e1pach k\u0159\u00eddel, ocasu a p\u0159ebyte\u010dn\u00e9ho \u0161t\u011brku ost\u0159e p\u00edchal do kovov\u00e9 trubky. Z\u00e1pach p\u0159etrv\u00e1val, zoufal\u00e1 snaha zjistit, co uv\u00edzlo v b\u0159i\u0161e letadla.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Zbytky leti\u0161tn\u00ed a pozemn\u00ed bezpe\u010dnostn\u00ed slu\u017eby kv\u016fli t\u00e9to odlehl\u00e9 p\u0159ist\u00e1vac\u00ed z\u00f3n\u011b fungovaly u\u017e n\u011bkolik let.

Jason nechal kopilota v kokpitu, aby uklidnil cestuj\u00edc\u00ed, opustil d\u016fle\u017eitou pos\u00e1dku a sestoupil do tmav\u00e9ho, st\u00edsn\u011bn\u00e9ho prostoru pod palubou pro cestuj\u00edc\u00ed. Proch\u00e1zeli se pod\u00e9l \u0159ad kufr\u016f a zavazadel a v\u0161imli si, \u017ee divok\u00fd k\u0159ik pt\u00e1k\u016f je znepokojiv\u011bj\u0161\u00ed ne\u017e bezpe\u010d\u00ed neozna\u010den\u00e9 d\u0159ev\u011bn\u00e9 bedny \u00fapln\u011b vzadu v n\u00e1kladov\u00e9m prostoru.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
