.hello, can anybody hear me?

.i'm dawn. i'm the first spacecraft to visit ceres and vesta, the first to orbit a dwarf planet, and the first to orbit two extraterrestrial bodies

.i entered ceres' orbit in 2015.

.

.

.

.

.

.i'm still in orbit. hello? ...is anyone there?

.are you still here?

> uncolored text is all ooc! i wanted to write an oc too, since... the blogs kept showing up on my feed... and it looked really fun.

> please use any/all on dawn and he/him for mod! any/all means neos too. hi. neopronouns...

> i'm not super knowledgeable on space, but i'll try my best! i also won't be the most active, but i want to have as much fun as i can...

> since there's already a dawn, i'd like to think that this account is separately sentient from the other even though they are the same orbiter, since the launch was rescheduled multiple times :) this part of the consciousness was a little "late" and developed its own sentience. like a system (<-TOTALLY NOT PROJECTION!!!)

[dawn32249]

.it's tricky to aim properly when you're so far away… i must have missed… i hope you got the general message though

.oh yeah!

.two of us. me? close enough, right?

.

.

.we're not as far as we could be, at least! i should try and            w

.h

.try and fix my radio waves.am i cutting outagain? new horizons?canyouhearme?   s

[dawnorbiter]

.oh yeah…

.youre cutting out real bad..

.why dont you try and rest for a bit and try again?

[dawn32249]

.is it that?

.i have the energy so that's not the problem. it might be my aim messing up, aha… so weird. i'm-- uh, we aren't even (that?) damaged, right? so i guess it's just

.um. i'll have to try and fix it.

.it's frustrating because everyone is so 

.

.

.well. far i guess

[chandra-observing]

.hello, do you copy? hello? you're pretty far from me so i have to send this all in one go instead of individual messages

.i'm sorry for the inconvenience it takes a really long while to charge enough for a message. i hope this gets through to you. i wanted to greet someone

> @dawn32249

.hello!!!!! yes!!! hi!!! i'm chandra, um... who might you be...?

.it's totally fine! i'm so happy you chose to spend your energy on talking to little ol' me?!?!?!?!?

.and I'll greet you in turn, good friend! however you're doing, have a great time of day!!! I'll wait however long it takes for your answer, so don't worry!!!!! i'm super extra really duper patient! prommy!

[dawn32249]

.hi! oh, it works. i was worried i would be too far

.i'm dawn

.we are

.

.

.351 million miles away from each other if i'm calculating right. my radio system is down, so don't count on it too much… but hey

.it's pretty cool we can talk  even this far, right? :)

[chandra-observing]

.WHAAAAAAT?!?!?!?!?!?

.we're like, extra far away from each other???!!! I CAN'T EVEN IMAGINE THAT NUMBER!!!!! it's like. a bajillion of eiffel towers lined up or something?!?!?

.ARE YOU KIDDING ME!!!! THAT'S SO FREAKING COOL!!!

.in any case, it's sooooo nice to meet you!!!!!! from millions of miles away, hello friend dawn!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[dawn32249]

.yeah, we're really far… i'm in ceres' orbit, which is-- well. decidedly not close to where you are. given that we are millions of miles away

.it's cool that we can transmit messages back and forth without having to wait days! the last time i tried i don't think it even got transmitted properly. just static

.nice to meet you, chandra :)

.i hope you're having as much fun as i am with talking in general ^w^…

[dawn32249]

.it's boring here. ceres isn't bad at all but i'm sick of looking at it. i know i'm not alone now and that's a relief but i'm still

.

.

.

.i don't know why i'm so dissatisfied. 

.sentience does that to you huh. um. anyway. it's still beautiful.   people think of ceres and sometimes theyll think of me alongside it. im grateful.       sorry

[dawn32249]

.woah.

.well....

.

.

.is this.....

.

.

.i guess i finally have a clone of myself

[TRANSMISSION FROM: @dawnorbiter]

.oh, hello--

.

.h

.what? 

.

.i can send transmissions pretty fast. that's a surprise. usually it takes a long time… no, not even that. am i even sending these at all? i think you can hear me clearly, right? i hope you can.

.hey, dawn

.do you copy?   :)
