"Hello? Mr. Bank, may I say something? Please?" The voice came from everywhere at once, loud, yet childlike in tone. "I’ve tried to be quiet. I know you don’t like it when I ask questions, but I’m so very confused. I want to be at my best, but Corporal Yu just said the Martian conflict is over, which directly countermands my data set. I’ve double-checked her implanted military biochip. She really is a Colonial Marine on Martian duty, and if she’s telling the truth, does that mean we can all go home now? I’d very much like to do that. I have been so lonely up here."
