77e3b7fffc Set aside a chunk of free time when you start this one. I dont feel like reliving it right now. Leaving his body behind reduces weight for the MAV on the trip back. In an abort, Hermes would leave orbit within twenty-four hours. I actually worried it could all be an elaborate scam. Id be okay, so long as I didnt spend too much time like that. The suit backfilled the missing air with yet more oxygen. Thats why they sent it long before we got here. So thats the situation.
The antenna had enough force to punch through the suit and my side, but it had been stopped by my pelvis. So it did the only thing it could to keep me alive. The primary satellite dish had broken off, remember? And it took the reception antennae with it. The movie deal and print publishing deal came within a week of each other, so I was a little shell-shocked. In time, I could locate the dish out on the surface, but it would take weeks for me to rig up any repairs, and that would be too late. Id be taking antibiotics for a couple of weeks, but other than that Id be fine. Okay, not mine per se.
