[QUOTE="Insight, post: 5302017, member: 11437"] [i]June 10[/i] I received a strange distress call this morning from Attenborough, the other orbital station circling Mars. A product of British design, Attenborough was taken over by the European Space Agency a few months ago. I didn't think anyone was station there, until the message this morning. It came from none other than Lloyd MacLaren, a fellow astronaut and a Scotsman whom I'd met during a joint NASA-ESA exercise at Cape Canaveral, Florida, about five years ago. Lloyd and I had roomed together for the weekend and got along pretty well. Small solar system! Apparently, the life support sub-system at Attenborough had gone offline, which automatically prompted a call to Deep Red. When Lloyd got on the line, he let me know that everything was fine. I wonder if maybe it was an ice-breaker or an opportunity to talk. Lloyd and I talked for probably half an hour. He'd been on Earth more recently and had some news I'd missed. Probably the most staggering was that California had seceded from the U.S. I guess they took Texas' example from a few years ago. Looks like the entire western half of the country is about to attempt to break away. War is on the horizon. Again. I hope my brother Clark can stay out of it this time. Lloyd and I also talked about the transmissions from Mars. The Attenborough had picked up on the second transmission, but not the first. I told Lloyd in very broad terms about the first transmission, but, owing to NASA's orders, I was prohibited from revealing specific details. Lloyd, who's much more talented in theoretical mathematics than I am, promised to try to decipher the second transmission and let me know what he discovers, if anything. [/QUOTE]
