An entirely black "rectangular brick" glided silently through Mars Synchronous Orbit.
"Calling the Ground Control Center. Black Lady Two has reached Mars Synchronous Orbit. Awaiting instructions!"
Bai Yixuan's voice was converted into an electromagnetic wave and transmitted toward Earth, 82 million kilometers away.
