Rick,
Today when I logged onto Curiosity, I got a radio message that said, "Hello User MSTIDD. What are our objectives, today?"
That is not funny, Rick. You don't work for MSL anymore. You are not a member of our team, and you have no right to play around with Curiosity's programming. I checked and found out that your login was never deactivated, so I took care of that immediately. Experiment on your own damn rovers!

Mike,
I haven't logged into Curiosity since I quit working for the Laboratory. I have no idea where he picked up the English. I had nothing to do with it. Maybe someone on your own team is messing with you. There's certainly precedent.
I am really, really disappointed by the tone of your email. I know you disagree with me on approach, but the hostility in this message is totally uncalled for. I can only guess there's something else that's actually pissing you off. What's going on, Mike? What are you not telling me?
Author's note: this story is completed as a secondary plot in The Astronaut's Mom.
