AMICITAS Mission Three – Mission Day 270

ARES 3 solar day 267

Sixteen normal-sized batteries (the three batteries taken from the habitation module were almost empty and did not need to be included in the calculation) plus four partially-charged large batteries did not make the single projection device create a The magic field is brighter than ever. The neon sparks rising from the Yamibu Ladder can only release magic energy so quickly. The only difference is that compared to the past, when they could barely make it through lunch before running out of energy, this time they supported the magic field generator to accompany everyone to sleep, and continued to operate until late at night.

When they woke up, they could see a faint arc dancing at the base of the electrode, indicating that all the energy in the battery had been released...

...But the dragonfly's cocoon remains in place, still airtight and motionless.

As everyone went to breakfast, Starlight Glimmer turned off the projection device and disconnected the cable from the battery. Ironically, the three batteries that were brought to the habitation module the day before yesterday were almost used up; as a result, they are now the only ones with energy here - each of them is at most useless. More than twenty percent, but at least more than those completely used batteries on the farm.

Starlight snorted contemptuously. Previously, a battery with 20% energy storage was enough to lift Amicitas out of the rubble at the crash site and put it back on the landing gear. Just one piece. As a result, now she has reached the point where she feels that these three batteries are simply not enough...!

However... the sixteen fully charged batteries plus the more or less energy stored in the four large batteries... are even enough to lift Amicitas and transport it all the way back to the living area... but it is still not enough to support the dragonfly breaking out of its cocoon. And out.

Starlight gradually began to understand what Cocoon said about the so-called "lazy insects". She turned around and stared at the few cherry saplings. Several branches sprouted from each tree. Although they couldn't be wielded as heavy sticks, they could at least be used as the kind of pony parents of the older generation to use to discipline wayward bears. A soft whip that keeps children obedient.

"As long as you dare to touch a leaf," Cherry Berry's cold warning came from behind her, making her hair stand on end, "extreme revenge will come immediately."

Starlight froze and turned to look at Berry. "You've been around those changelings long enough," she said angrily. "You're too realistic."

"You will die if you try." Berry said coldly.

Starlight sighed, gave up on her plan, and turned to leave. She was reluctant to go directly to knock the dragonfly's cocoon for the time being, the time had not yet come. But before they make the second attempt like yesterday, they have to wait another two and a half weeks for all the batteries to be recharged - to be honest, it should take longer, because they still have to turn on the magic for at least a few minutes every day. field projection to maintain the survival of the dragonfly. She needs to sit down and figure it out. Then she can start preparing—because she already knows what she will do will be noticeably different next time.

If it still doesn't work, the next step is to serve with sticks, no matter what Cherry Berry says...

"I can see you're still thinking about it."

...Of course, the premise is that Cherry Berry completely agrees.

[13:18] Watney: Test. I see the chat is back online.

[13:55] JPL: Hello, Mark. Yes, the data transfer is finally completed. We received your telegram yesterday. Sorry to hear that Starlight is having issues with her suit, we hope it's fixed soon.

But there's a good reason why we spent an entire week doing data transfers. In the rover's data cache you'll find text-only versions of the Dungeons & Dragons Player's Handbook, the Dungeon Master's Guide, eight adventure modules, and a computer application for simulating dice rolls. All of this is provided free of charge by Hasbro and is in no way intended to provide a secret benefit to NASA, giving them an unfair advantage in bidding for toys that look like your friends.

We hope this game will provide you with something you can do as a group outside of work to boost team morale. That's the main reason we occupied the Pathfinder for a full week. If you are free, could you please report your current situation?

[14:41] 沃特尼：呃……还请转告孩之宝感谢他们的好意……不过这是给了我们4.0版？认真的？！如果他们要找点复古的作品，为什么不能发来3.0或者3.5这种？这样跟探路者（Pathfinder）之类放在一起还显得比较搭调。

[15:12] JPL: It’s nothing to complain about, at least it’s not GURPS. This was all I had when I was in college.

[15:41] Watney: I originally wanted to joke about math geeks and RPGs, but to be honest, I am actually looking forward to experiencing how to weigh skill points in real life. For example, how many Constitution points do I have to give up in exchange for enough agility/speed to escape this breaking ball?

[16:10] JPL: Bruce and his staff are still studying this issue, and will tell you if there is any progress. However, we will try our best to ensure that your attributes do not drop to the level of a mage.

[16:39] Watney: This is Starlight. What did that sentence mean just now? Are you scolding me?

[17:44] Watney: Huh? I ask you if it is? ! say something! ! !
