Uh, hey. This is Mark Watney again.
I was thinking about something and considering the circumstances, it's probably not anywhere near important, but I was thinking about time. Earth time, to be specific... not sols or anything involving that temperamental red jerk that Mars is.
(He pauses.)
Okay, to be very specific...because not all of us are from the same place, yet alone the same damn version of Earth...
In any case, you know, if we're going by the passage of time here... I'm another year older today. I think.
(Pausing again.)
You know what, let's just go with it. I didn't get a real birthday minus the crew singing at me the last go around.

That is quite a skilled hacker indeed, especially to be able to do so at the speed of sound.
