So, yeah. It's me again. And it's been about... I want to say 26 days, if we're going by Earth time.

(He has since changed out of his uniform and is wearing a light jacket, navy blue hoodie, white t-shirt underneath, at least this is what would be seen on the video feed. He had quickly begun to dress for the changing weather. Of course, he has a feeling that he will find himself missing the massive amounts of snow he was used to once winter really did settle in.

His expression hasn't changed much since - Mark is a master at taking things in stride. Besides, he's thrilled to know that there is one person he knows here and he seems to be making another new friend, at least.

That thought reminds him to tell Rick about his sort of twin running around.)


So far, so good. I mean a roof over my head and a job. More importantly a purpose - figure out what hell caused my friend and I end up here and how we can get back.

But until we figure that out - guess I'll be your average run of the mill teach. (He shrugs. He is actually not minding the idea. He figures he'll be able to get a few jokes like "You kids, when I was your age I had to walk on Mars uphill, both ways" and "Let me tell you about those Martian street gangs. They completely trashed my rover!")

I wonder if teaching the kids how to make water out of rocket fuel is a bad idea...I mean, I'll obviously test it out on my own first and make sure nothing can go wrong then. It'll come in handy to get it figured out once I get out of here...

If not, once the weather gets better, I'll just teach them out to grow things. I mean - that's sciencey enough and practical to boot...

Oh, and that reminds me...if anyone else is trying to figure this out. Mind sounding out. I think we all need to work together on this one.

Figure out Genessia? Or figure out how to grow crops?

If the former, you'll want to talk to Weiss Schnee, who's running a research organization for that purpose. If the latter, I'm pretty sure that's already figured out.

What kind of teacher are you exactly?

That sounds amazing.

[Not that Levy ever went to school.]

I've been looking into things here as well though I haven't gotten really far. I have a book in my store where people can write and gather ideas though I know the Schnee Company is also looking into it.

I had a friend there before, I was helping look into something that involved Biology. I can't get into the lab anymore because I don't actually work there but it might be something you can look into. Though I don't know what you are teaching or what your skills are in but it sounds like science.

I can at least tell you what I currently do know.

[It's really not that much.]

Mm, well we did get a few questions answered. Which, naturally led to more questions, and so on. Perhaps this place has some reluctance in unleashing inquisitive hydras.

But some are better than none, right? Anyway, here's a post that might help.

That's a horrible idea, Watney. [He shakes his head.

He's smiling. Horrible idea or no...

The father in me keeps stressing that I continue to tell you how terrible that idea is.

How old are the children you're teaching?

[And it comes out like an academic question.]

And of course I'm trying to figure this out.

Do you know which grades you're teaching?

[Conan might even be a little interested. It would be a change from spending his days bored by standard first grade classes.]

Do you mean trying to figure out what this place is and why we have been brought here? Or do you mean trying to figure out a way home?

Why would kids need to learn how to do that though? I mean unless you are plannig on sending rockets somewhere.

I know I want to try and figure this whole thing out myself, but so far I've not found anything useful.

Why should that be something you keep a secret?

[Yeah, Jason really doesn't understand the idea behind hiding feelings like that.]

And if course I'll help with that. I... Don't know yet whether or not I would want to leave, but I want to know what's going on here.

...teaching children to make water out of rocket fuel. There's no way that could go well, man. Sorry. Teach them...basic chemistry or something, but not that.

I'm sure most everyone to some degree is interested in the function of this place, though. Just asking people that have been around for awhile is helpful, even if they aren't actively seeking a way out.

No kidding. I might have actually paid attention if class wasn't boring enough to sleep through.

Lame? Why? Do you...think it makes you look weak or something like that? [He smirks.] That's lame.

[He doesn't say anything for a while.]

It's a long story.

You don't teach a kid to ride a bike without training wheels, Watney.

No, but I don't let things like lameness hold me back.

[Bro, I have real problems, okay.]

And complicated. It's a complicated story.
