    Looks like the Mars Rover took a wrong leap for mankind and now they have lost all communications with it.

    Maybe the Martians did not like our Cameras in their play ground or the Cookie monster got it. :D ;)

    Yeah. From the last picture that I saw from the rover camera, that looks like him. He even looks guilty. He's even got a milk mustache. :D

    I was able with the help of the jet propulsion laboratory to get the last picture to come from the mars rover. this is hot of the press. NASA is trying to figgure out what they are looking at. But I think we know here at wilders. He is a martian car jacker or in this case a rover jacker.

    On our trip to mars as science officer I feel it is my position to keep all flight personal informed of the technical end of the flight. Since we will be traveling at warp 7.3 I have calculated the conversion to light speed so as to keep our crew informed how fast we will actually be traveling. Our actually travel time at that speed should be around nine seconds. I hope captain Ugeul has had one heck of a good set of space brakes installed.

    I got out my trusty calculater and reestimated our travel time at warp 7.3 it is alittle quicker than first estimated. About four one hundreth of a second. Don't blink or you will miss the trip.

    Good Heavens man. Ya can't go that bloody fast to Mars. By the time we slow her down, we'll be past it by 33,000,000 miles. No faster than Warp 2 or you be pushin her too hard.

    What are space brakes? o_O

    I have recalculated the speed at warp 1 which will get us there in twenty one minutes. Plenty of time to celebrate with (Pauls) special brandy. I wont tell if you won't. Attached is a copy of the flight plan for the pilot make sure the pilot sets course before the brandy :D

    In reply to the question of what are space brakes. I purchased a couple of boxes of fireworks (with pauls money) I positioned them on the nose of the ship and we light as many as needed to slow down or stop. itis quite spectacular. and just a little bit dangerous. But this is space travel

    Chief Engineers :eek:g Stardate 0423.1
    I've searched all over the bloody Earth internet and the closest thing I can find is something called "brakes" from something called a 1969 Chevy Nova. The computer says it was a form of transportation used in the mid 20th century.
    Captain Uguel. I've been informed that crewman sub has the POX. I think we should immediatly recruit a Dr. as part of the crew.
    Calling Dr. Peaches! Calling Dr. Peaches! ;) :D

    thxx :) :) :) :) :) :-* :-* (if u accept the kiss ..lol :D )

    thx a looot.. for being with me... and not leaving me behind :)
    I 've got one idea... there in Mars maybe POX is somewhat they havent yet experienced... I will just give them hugs and they will soon spread it among themselves....
    and we know the treatment right ;) :D
    Dr Peaches will do that healing in smoothness... and we will prove ourselves as more advanced than them .. and.. who says... what a hospitability we will be getting there :D :D

    :-*

    I would'nt count on a good reception on Mars you travellers, I wouldn't be at all surprised if the little red devils had been keylogging you lot.....then you'll be sorry.

    Cochise, :cool:

    I wouldn't worry about being keylogged by the Martians. I've infected 1 of their Macintosh PC's (that's all they use) with Windows software, and it is now systematically destroying all of the others.

    Science officer bigc73542. It looks like you caused an electrical overload on their main frame in other words you spoiled their barrel of apples.

    Memo: science officer bigc73542, Attn. Chief engineer. We seem to have developed a slight computer glitch, it has picked up a personality of it's own.

    Don't worry about the bloody thing. I've traced it to a feedback loop from NASA trying to comunicate with the malfunctioning rover. Apparently it's name is Dave. I guess they didn't see that movie. :rolleyes:

    If we attack them, do not expect to be welcome anymore. We can write off any mission we had planned.

    It's just as well they are having some real bad storms on mars right now. Lightning and very strong dust storms.

    Don't worry Captain. I used the transporter to bounce a signal off Alpha Centauri. They picked it up on the oposite side of their planet facing away from earth. They don't know where it came from. It's just a safety net for our landing. No actual harm is being done. Just general confusion.

    Well... in the general confusion they might shoot us by mistake!! Are you sure that was such a good strategy?

    A signal like that leaves a doppler affect that they can not trace.

    Aye Captain. Since there's no way they can trace the signal, they'll just think it's some kind of software glitch. It could even be to our advantage as an offer of friendship to fix their computers.
