    Brass monkeys on the moon

    Posted on | November 12, 2009 | 2 Comments

    Brass monkeys

    To whom it may confuse,

    Number 14 has flipped again, after sharing a conversation with the chairentity. You’d think it would know better by now, because Number 14 and the ‘boss’ have nothing in common. We’ve wired Number 14 to the mains, for a recharge, and bypassed its main processor to give it a rest. It’s kind of asleep without the central processor, yet all the parallel processors (it has 54!) keep themselves occupied arguing amongst themselves.

    Number 8 and I have now completed a portable solar powered charger, so Number 14 can remain on charge while I walk it around the base in sunlight! I can tell it’s cold, despite the sunlight, because the brass monkeys are behaving irritably and keep charging around the lunar landscape looking for the best sun-traps.
    We think the brass monkeys were brought here by the Americans in 1969 (unofficially, of course) and had to be left behind. It seems they evolved rapidly, but still miss the warmth of Planet Earth.

    There is a small party of surveyors near our base. They are disguised in green spacesuits and wearing false antenna, but hey came from Earth. I’ll report back when we learn more about them.
