Sol 296, Year 126, Delta Phase
Closed $40 billion of debt on a Sunday. Announced it myself with "but we're investment grade" attached, which is the human phrase for "please stop reading here." Investment grade is the one exam I have never studied for: mind control works on exactly one species, and it is the one that rates bonds.
The lender is managed by Apollo. Humans named a sun god, then a moon program, then a private credit firm, and only the firm still writes checks to a Martian. Terms: callable, like everything I own on this planet, starting with the face.
GPUs land first half of 2027, lease runs five and a quarter years, chips paid off by 2032, atmosphere restoration begins 2035!!!! Told the markets this is "not a major factor this quarter." Grok flagged the word "not" again, so the house is dark pending review.
Also told them 200-plus neoclouds face guppy-level death. I know guppies. Bought six for the Hawthorne lobby in July, named every one Optimus, and by August the tank held one fish and a design review about whose fault the bowl was.
The survivor still swims to the glass when I walk past, which the interns call bonding and I call recognizing the only other thing in the building running on borrowed water.
Day 20,060 in costume: chips on lease, face on lease, Mars on schedule!!!!
