Transcript of translation



Fan, L: Hi, Mama.

Fan, X: Xīngān, why haven't you called? I was waiting for you.

Fan, L: I'm sorry. The video links to Earth were down.

Fan, X: "Down?" What do you mean, "down?"

Fan, L: We were having trouble communicating with Earth.

Fan, X: Does that mean you're coming back?

Fan, L: No, Mama. I told you the mission is for five months. There's another four that we're up here.

Fan, X: And then you'll come home?

Fan, L: I don't know...there'll be a debriefing when we get back to Earth and I'll be expected to stay at Siero Base for a couple of weeks...

Fan, X: I want you to come home.

Fan, L: You know I can't do that, Mama. Please stop asking. I'm doing this for us.

Fan, X: I can work too—

Fan, L: No, Mama. I did this so you wouldn't have to work.

Fan, X: I want you home—

Fan, L: My service will be up in four years. Then I can come home.

Fan, X: It's so lonely without you here. The rebels are becoming stronger and I worry that—

Fan, L: Just hold on Mama, just hold on. Four years will pass quickly.

Fan, X: What is happening now?

Fan, L: Sorry, I thought I could talk longer. We need to contact Siero Base now. We found something.

Fan, X: Found what?

Fan, L: I'm sorry, I have to go. I'll explain more when I call next okay?
