Further conversations with the Aurora - 2/24/22

 

February 24, 2022

Terran note: I have had a touch of the stomach flu.  Today's conversations are solely with Martha. With all the talk of supply chain disruptions on the Earth, perhaps its not coincidence this conversation is occurring with a food producing ship?  You never know where these conversations lead.  I got this out of band statement from Thor tonight...

Thor: TERRAN. WATCH THE SKIES. THOR.

Martha: Greetings to our friends on the Aurora from your friends on the Earthsphere!  We are so pleased you contacted us to renew our friendship.  We look forward to many fruitful discussions and when the moment for face to face contact comes, meeting you in person.  Meanwhile, there is much to talk about in getting to know each other.  

Martha: So, Marciella, hello!  In the interim since we last talked, what is new there?  Are there things you’re wondering about what’s happening here?

Marciella: MARTHA. FRIENDS. THERE IS A GREAT DEAL OF EXCITEMENT HERE. WE CONSIDER OURSELVES A DEDICATED STATION. WE ARE SCIENTISTS AND FAMILIES. THE NEWS IS HERE THAT A GREAT RECEPTION IS "UNDERWAY". THIS IS A FORMAL VISIT FROM EARTH LEADERS WITH OTHER CIVILIZATIONS THROUGHOUT THE GALAXY. THERE ARE MANY "FEDERATIONS" AND "COUNCILS". THAT IS NOT OUR BUSINESS NOR OUR INTEREST. OURS IS FOOD PRODUCTION.  WE FEEL THAT OUR EFFORTS AND EXPERIENCE MAY BE OF INTEREST TO YOU AND YOURS. MARCIELLA.

Martha:Yes, this is very much of interest!  You may know that we here are not so much aware of these galactic visits of our leaders, as only a few report them and our news focuses our attention in other directions.  What can you tell us about these visits?  Yes, there seem to be many councils, which is quite confusing.  What are you feeding them?  Are you involved in preparation of meals or are you delivering food?  Please explain, if you can.  

Marciella: MARTHA. VERY SINCERE QUERIES. WE ARE NOT ABLE TO DISCUSS THE "DIPLOMATIC" PROCESS. IT IS NOT IN OUR "FRAME OF REFERENCE" OR PROTOCOLS. WE ARE IN FOOD "PRODUCTION". WE PRODUCE A VARIETY OF GREENS AND PROTEINS AT THIS STATION. THESE ARE SENT VIA CARGO TO OTHER STATIONS AND BASES. THERE ARE AT PRESENT THREE OTHER STATIONS IN THE "XXXXX" OF MARS (Denice: getting magnetosphere but that is not complete -- no literal translation?).  IT IS THUS THAT WE SHARE DUTIES AND 

Denice: (lost it)

Denice: that hasn't happened in a while...

Denice: I am getting an image of going out of range for a short time

Martha: Understandable.  

Denice:🤷‍♂️🤷‍♀️

Marciella: MARTHA. THERE IS MUCH "STATIC" IN THE AREA. THE AURORA PRODUCES BIOLOGICAL PRODUCTS FOR CONSUMING. MOSTLY GREENS. THESE ARE NOT SHARED DIRECTLY WITH ANY ONE GROUP. THESE ARE SENT TO THE OTHER STATIONS OF OURS.  WE DO NOT HAVE TIES TO THE GRAND RECEPTIONS OR DIPLOMATIC EVENTS. IT IS DOUBTFUL OUR PRODUCTS MAKE IT THAT FAR. THE AURORA ALSO REPAIRS SMALL CRAFT FROM OUR STATIONS. THAT IS STANDARD WITH ALL STATIONS OF OUR SIZE. MARCIELLA.

Martha: So it sounds like you are feeding the chefs.  Which is a noble pursuit.  

Marciella: MARTHA. MOSTLY WE ARE FEEDING OURSELVES. MARCIELLA.

Martha:🤣

Martha: I must say, I was thinking of you all when I was at the grocery store yesterday.  I started wondering where you get your food.  I was wishing you could trail along as I went up and down the aisles.  I’m sure you’d find it interesting and different than what you are accustomed to.  

Marciella: MARTHA. A TRIP TO YOUR STORES WOULD BE PLEASANT. DO NOT FEEL SORRY FOR US. WE HAVE THE ABILITY TO MAKE A VARIETY OF FOODS. FRESH PRODUCE IS OUR SPECIALTY HERE. BUT NOT OUR ONLY FOOD. MARCIELLA.

Martha: Oh, I’m not feeling sorry, and hope it didn’t come across that way.  I suspect you have things we don’t, and we have things you don’t.  What a grand feast is in store when we are able to meet!  I think you also have the ability to “replicate” food?  We don’t have that.  Tho I’ve recently seen advertisements for “meat” that isn’t meat.  It’s not clear what it actually is and most people are not interested in it, but it may be a first attempt to introduce replicated foods here.  My thought is they may have figured out replication, but they haven’t figured out how to convince people to try it!  

Martha: I’m still laughing at your comment that you are feeding yourselves.  Isn’t that how it works!  When I cook something, I have been known to “sample” so much that I have far less in the final product.  Feeding myself.  

Marciella: MARTHA. YES. IT IS A NICE WAY TO START OUR CONVERSATIONS. WITH THE ONE THING THAT IS UNIVERSAL. IN MOST UNIVERSES. FOOD.  THANKS TO YOU FOR YOUR "TIME". WE LAUGH AS WE ADJUST TO THE LESS FORMAL "EARTH" STYLE OF CONVERSATIONS. "THANK YOU". AND WE LOOK FORWARD TO OUR NEXT "TALK".  MARCIELLA. END TRANSMISSION.

Martha: Yes indeed.  Food is universal.  And yes, most of us speak quite informally here, particularly to friends.  I regard you as friend.  I look forward to our next conversation.
