[QUOTE="Insight, post: 5320787, member: 11437"] [i]June 24[/i] On a whim, I started pinging Attenborough Station. If Lloyd wondered why, I figured I would tell him it was some sort of system error. I don't want Lloyd to know how lonely I'm becoming. Maybe it's some sort of competition completely in my head. But, nothing came of it. No response. That is strange and a little disconcerting. Attenborough's autonomic functions should have responded to my pings. I trained Deep Red's array in the direction of Attenborough Station. The station is physically in the same place, in geosynchonous orbit above Mars, about 150,000m from Deep Red. I can't quite see Attenborough from here, but my sensors can still detect it. Deep Red has virtually the same systems as Attenborough and it should auto-respond, but nothing. I'm also seeing no energy signature from Attenborough. Did it shut down? Did Lloyd leave? I would think he would have said something. Maybe his government prevented him from communicating with me. Maybe London and NASA are conspiring to keep me in a sphere of silence. I sent a test message to Houston, hoping Rusty would somehow respond. Nothing. At this point, not surprising. [/QUOTE]
