Scientists of the Agraf Empire have almost finished experimenting with neural networks and living organisms. The only missing link to complete the experiment was intelligent beings.
Of course, the Convention of the United Worlds and the Council of the Commonwealth categorically prohibit anything like that. But there’s still a way—using humanoids from the far-off planets at the edge of the universe! And it’s a lucky thing that the military has discovered a wormhole leading to their solar system.
A ship with scientists, disguised as a pirate vessel, goes to fetch intelligent “material” for their research.
That’s how an ordinary student from Earth ended up on a space ship—in a box with the label “Technician—2МК.” He faced an unenviable fate—about a hundred test subjects died before him in terrible мучениях. But this time the scientists failed to finish the experiment: they die as a result of an attack on the ship.
The Earthling who survived the chaos received the call sign “Technician.” He is sent to Sector Sol to the research station as a junior technician. Now he has to prove that he is not just a savage from a trashy little planet. He is a real person—capable of turning the universe upside down.
