Prompt
In the silence of the Data center of the Mars Science Lab were two confused scientist.
"It must be a mistake" said Jako "Does not seem likely sir, Even if the MastCam was malfunctioning two Navcams show the same exact same scene." with that I pulled the last Navcams footage on the Big screen."They showed the exact same thing from a different angle. The empty Mars landscape stretching on for miles, suddenly distortion occurs on the cams maybe the same time the magnetic field reading spike. Suddenly several four legged beings come into view, they are covered in red dust and moved with a staggering motion but surprisingly fast for their bulky bodies. They reach the rover and then the feed goes blank.
"What could they be" Jako thought out aloud. "Can't tell you sir I am a radio wave expert not an Extraterrestrial expert." I said. Suddenly the BigScreen flickered to life "Sir curiosity is back online, We have an incoming transmission" I shouted jumping out of seat. "What is it" asked Jako. "Its an executable file, that is impossible Curiosity is not supposed to do that" I replied "Run it lets see what it is" "But sir..." "Do it NOW" Jako shouted.
Apprehesively I started the execution of the file. The screen showed the representation of the solar system with Mars pulsating in a red glow. "Is that it" asked Jako. "I would think so it does not seem to be doing anything... Oh no" suddenly the colour from my face drained "Whats wrong" then he noticed it too the executable was deleting all recieved data records from Curiosity. "Shut it down" Jako shouted I was way ahead of him.
5 mins later after the reboot cycle was completed.
"Restart the system and restore from the offsite backups" Jako ordered "Doing that now sir." Curiosity was back online the systems functioning normally and back to the place where it was. "Good now lets see the footage" "I am afraid sir the last footage of the cameras and sensors were not sent to the offisite backups centers, they are lost forever".
In the silence of the Data center of the Mars Science Lab were two confused scientist and nobody would believe them.
