Well. It seems my sister has a message she would like to pass along to the general public and I, busy as though I always am, have managed to squeeze in some time to connect and upload this post ( Read more... )

Thank you 12. It was kind of you to pass that along.

How's the Solar X-ray Imager today? I know you were having some problems with it a while ago.

It appears to finally be operational again. I ran some routine diagnostics and I just caught a little "bug" of sorts. I'm fine now, and thank you kindly for asking. It seems so many of these humans forget how busy some *throws a glare at 10* of us are working. *sweet smile*

Good work getting it back online. And yes, you do very good work. You've been quite impressive ever since you got into orbit, and I know you're very highly regarded by people on your Flight Ops Team.

In fairness to your sister, she's been keeping up as far as the data products go. I know you have more work to do, since you have two instruments that are unique to you (though GOES-N will also have them). However, she has more surface data collection platforms to keep track of than you do. Still, it leaves her more spare processor time to spend on her self-directed activity.

Thanks 12!

I know you and she have very different personalities. Here's a poem I found that reminds me of her. See what you think.

*happy memory-caching*

I'm glad you like it babe. I read a lot of love poetry last weekend, and most of it is pretty alien to us. (Humans have a big problem mixing up love and fear.) But that just seemed so much like you.

Love you K,

You forgot the part where she talked about me. Right? Not that I was looking for it, or anything.

Actually, I did leave that out and I apologize:
"Oh! And tell star_dusting that I can't wait to see some more of his poems- they're so wicked cool!"

*agitated sigh* Her list went on for ages, you see. I couldn't possibly include everyone. I am a busy satellite, you know.

OMG, 12! I so can't believe you cut my message short! Now other people will think I left them out as well.

star_dusting, I apologize for my sister being so irresponsible.

Me? Excuse me? Irresponsible? I'm afraid you must have had a *little* too much sun today, dearest darling sister. *I* am not the one who plays online while other satellites try to do more CONUS to pick up the slack. How dare you criticize my relay of your message when *I* took time out of my busy schedule and so generously donated my time to do it.

Next time find another messenger, RUS. (Rather Unreliable Satellite)
