[[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 died out from a mysterious disease (suspected to be the deadly cosmic plague) a hundred years ago. When the researchers from the Institute of Time confirm that it was the cosmic plague, Gromozeka offers Alice to travel to the past and spray the cosmic plague vaccine over the astronauts that brought the virus from space. Professor Rrrr, a specialist in historical linguistics 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.
