[ WP ] As soon as the SpaceX rocket touched down on the Martian surface , the astronauts on board received a notification : `` Wi-Fi Connection Available ''

The excitement was palpable throughout the cramped cockpit as the capsule glid through the tenuous atmosphere towards the surface. Small round portholes were currently obscured for landing, but every eye was trained to them intensely waiting for the moment to see the surface of the Red Planet. Enthusiasm overrode the scream of their bones and muscles re-entering a gravity well - for almost six months stuck in this very smelly and very stuffy pod, they'd lived and breathed in microgravity. 
 
 *'' Extend landing gear and brace for landing. Betty - double check the comms array. `` * *'' Roger, sir. `` * 
 
 Elizabeth Aldrin had spent her life awaiting this precise moment. Like her distant ancestor, she would be one of the first to walk upon a different ground and gaze through a different sky. All things considered, it was worth it. With practiced dexterity, her fingers flew over the keyboard on her section of the cutting edge glass cockpit as she double and triple checked the communications networks. It simply would not do to lose contact with Earth at this moment, as distant as it was. In the corner of her laptop-cum-flight-computer-screen a small icon popped up to let her know she had a stable wi-fi connection. 
 
 *'' What the fuck?! `` * the confusion and fear in her voice was clear... and it was the wrong thing to say. All five of the crew instantly began bellowing out status updates and information on craft stability, frantically working to find out what had spooked her and correct it. 
 
 *'' What the fuck does n't tell us much, Betty. What's wrong? We are too close to go up in a ball of smoke now. `` * The captain was definitely using his calm but terrified tone with her. 
 
 *'' Sir. `` * she affirmed. *'' I just... ehh... I got a notification that we're connected to wifi... sir. `` * Everyone went instantly silent and breathed not a word, even as their craft gently touched down upon the martian soil, a deep ringing echoing throughout the capsule. 
 
 *'' Are you sure? `` * 
 
 In the tried and tested method of checking internet connection, she quickly tabbed open a window of google chrome and searched for something random, speaking as she went. *'' New tab... google... how does dogs know not to mate with their brothers and sisters? Search. `` * For the first time in her life, she was thrilled to see the request go bad. *'' I think it was just some sort of error. Stupid windows! `` * 
 
 All four of them burst into hysterical laughter at themselves, dissolving the tension, until a loud knock rung their heads and ears and the comms channel opened. 
 
 *'' This is Captain Jobs of the iShip, you are in restricted Apple territory. Your craft contains unbranded and illegal technology. Prepare to be boarded, and to surrender all contraband to iCustoms officers. Stand by. `` * 
 
 They sat in stunned silence once more.
