Like in the novella, [[Literature/AliceGirlFromTheFuture Alice]] gets a birthday gift from old family friend Gromozeka: she is to join his archaeological expedition to Koleida, a planet whose inhabitants mysteriously died out a hundred years ago. The expedition confirms Gromozeka’s theory – Koleida was killed by cosmic plague, a super-contagious and, prior to the invention of a vaccine, 100%-deadly disease. Deciding to save Koleida, Gromozeka offers Alice to travel to the past and spray the cosmic plague vaccine over the astronauts that brought the virus from space. The Koleidians were of the same height as Alice, so she’s the only one who can blend in if she goes to the past. However, at the last moment, Professor Rrrr, the expedition’s linguist who looks like a one-eyed kitten, says he will accompany her, disguised as a normal cat, and the two of them rush to the past, where the locals, unaware they are in immediate danger of extinction, aren’t eager to help them in the slightest.
