AMICITAS Mission Three – Mission Day 327

ARES 3 solar day 322

Transcript – Hydraulic Telegraph Switch – ESA Maltimore Center ＜-＞ ESA spacecraft AMICITAS

AMICITAS: Amicitas calls Maltimore, uses the starlight space suit to reply, completed.

ESA: Maltimore calls Amicitas, over.

AMICITAS: Mark wishes to speak with Twilight Sparkle and/or Cocoon, over.

ESA: Cocoon - Lucky for you, I just landed four days ago. The Nerd Princess is busy designing a new system for Angel Twelve. Let him begin.

AMICITAS: O most glorious Queen Chrysalis, I send you greetings and respects from Earth. Mark Watney, astronaut and explorer, I greet you on behalf of my people, over.

ESA: Cocoon—so what did he actually say? complete.

AMICITAS: No, that's all Mark said, over.

ESA: You're kidding me, over.

AMICITAS: Dragonfly—my queen, that's what he said. He also said, "I have never spoken to the Queen before and I don't want to cause any trouble." Finished.

ESA: Hello Mark. How are my people doing? How is my pilot? Tell me something the ponies won't tell me. No need for diplomatic language; I usually only read these in the stupid letters from Central City that annoy me all the time with bills, summonses, and hotel rooms that are overdue. Over .

AMICITAS: "Dingting's physical condition is slowly improving. But she still scares us sometimes. As for Cherry Berry, she can't always use enough market skill points, so self-protection is a problem." Finished.

ESA: Mark, don’t try to pass on your nerdy ways to me. As for Dragonfly, I'm glad to hear that she can still keep you guys guessing. complete.

AMICITAS: "How did you become an astronaut if you're not a nerd?" Finished.

ESA: Keeping my sanity is a heavy burden, but I can bear it. complete.

AMICITAS: "No, seriously; even Martinez (the human crew member) has a degree in systems engineering. You have to learn a lot to get to space. You have to be a nerd to be an astronaut." Finished.

ESA: Or you could be the guy who pays the nerds, over.

AMICITAS: "That's okay. But if that's the case, why did you go to heaven? It can't be to explore science or adventure exploration." Finished.

ESA: It’s not just nerds who enjoy being in space. When I go to space, I can look down on so many little guys on the ground. Then why did you go to space? complete.

AMICITAS: "Astronauts have always been my heroes. And when the Mars exploration mission started, I thought that if people were going to go to Mars in the future, they would need to learn to grow food crops there. Unexpectedly, this skill is better than I imagined. Even more important." Finished.

ESA: What does this have to do with you?

AMICITAS: "I'm a (farming scientist). Farming is my job. Of course, it was before. Now my job is to escape Mars alive." Finished.

ESA: There aren't many opportunities for advancement in this position, over.

AMICITAS: "At least there are more prospects than losing this job. I will be forty-two years old in a few days, which is quite emotional." Finished.

ESA: Is it your birthday? ? ? (Note: The rest of this message was spoken so fast that no one could decode it, but this continued for a long time)

AMICITAS: Amicitas calls Maltimore, communications check, and please keep Pinkie Pie away from the life support controller, over.

ESA: Twilight – taken care of. Pinkie asked me to tell you that all missed birthday parties will be made up for once you get home safely, and Mark will be no exception, over.

AMICITAS: Amicitas received it, everyone has a part in the birthday party, it’s over.

ESA: Twilight - Sorry, but we have to go now. Cocoon Cocoon said Mark's words gave her some ideas. This worries me a lot, over.

AMICITAS: Dragonfly—hey! At least respect my queen! What's the progress of the rescue? complete.

ESA: Twilight - No progress will be made until your side finds another way to come up with a powerful spell. The experimental prospects for the previously proposed propulsion concept are optimistic and completed.

AMICITAS: Starlight - We will let you know if we have plans to do another big spell next time. In addition, we will still try to regulate the amount of magic used and try to save battery energy storage. Over.

ESA: Got it. Let us know if there is any progress. Communication ends.
