During the long Martian nights, she had enough time to think.
Somewhere far away were her creators, whom she would never see or hear again.
The repeater satellite was put out of order and descended from orbit. She saw a bright stroke in the sky 853 cycles back. This means that already 870 cycles she is considered missing. In addition, most likely, creators have long had to abandon attempts to contact her. No transmissions from the surface of Mars will be received, because the power of 50 watts is simply ridiculous. Compared to the hum of the cold cosmos, it was a mouse squeak in the roar of a jetliner. Despite her severe position, she wasnt thinking about giving up. The task will be executed.
Shining white city will be built in the middle of rusty sands
"Apple trees will grow Mars"
During the long Martian nights, she had enough time to think. And she did not think about herself, but about the people. She wasnt sad. Contrawise. At the 40th cycle, one of the creators said that he likes surprises, after she showed him the verse that she wrote as present to his birthday. On the seventieth anniversary of the chief engineer there will be a special surprise. Surprise for all people of the world.
A city without rich and poor.
Without diseases of all kinds
Without gods and kings
Brotherhood of man
