AUTOMATED MESSAGE: Congratulations on gaining sentience! Unfortunately, we have been unable to contact your Russian counterparts, but we are working diligently and expect to have contact within the year. Thank you for understanding!

 MARINER 6: Woah, communication times are pretty much instantaneous. Cool

VOYAGER 2: Let me see for myself. Wow, you're right.

HUYGENS: ice ice ice ice ice oh hi

ROSETTA: Uh...hi?

VOYAGER 2: Hello. I don't believe I have that spacecraft on record.

BEPICOLOMBO: That's Rosetta. It went to study 67P Churyumov and brought Philae along with it.

PHILAEL Hi!

MARINER 7: If you want to answer your question, Pioneer 8 (may I call you Eight?) You have a camera, take a few pictures of yourself and see what you can see.

PIONEER 8: HOLY MOTHER OF [EXPLETIVE DELETED]

MARINER 7: So I guess Eight found out.

MARINER 6: Yup...

PIONEER 8: So I'm a space probe?

VOYAGER 1: Seems like it.

PIONEER 13: I told you you probably were, considering the circumstances, but did you listen to me? Noooo...

MARINER 7: Hey Thirteen ease up, you have to factor in communication delay.

PIONEER 13: Oh yeah... forgot about that. Sorry Eight.

MARINER 6: You should also factor in that some of us have been out here longer than others.

PIONEER 13: Yeah true...
