Summary
Dutch opens Mike’s comm line on the way back, says, “Look, no one thinks you’re useless, okay? I don’t know where you got that from, but it’s totally not true. I mean, we’re all worried about you right now, but we just— we want you to get better— look, nobody would be in top form having nightmares all the time, okay? That’s nothin’ about you.” God, why can’t he find the right words? He means everything he’s saying, but even to him it doesn’t sound persuasive.
“Sure,” Mike says, low and defeated. “Nothing about me that I can’t keep it together for the simplest things anymore,” and he closes the line.

Summary
Rich has been living in this body for three months now, and he hates it. The people around him like it plenty, which isn't so great when they're gross old men. When Julie Kane and her two newest directors show up, though, Rich encounters allies in unexpected quarters and the possibility of escape from the nightmare he's been living. Of course, that’s before the aphrodisiac spell backfires...

Summary
“Oh my god,” Julie says again, and paces in a little circle. Then she paces in a bigger circle, trips over a wrench, falls over, and lies on the floor in total defeat. It’s been an hour since she and Chuck got their brains or minds or souls or whatever put in each other’s bodies by a crazy old machine in some buried ruins and things haven’t improved from the initial, disastrous explosion.
“Maybe we should have lunch,” Mike suggests. “And like, think about this.”
“I am really tired of thinking about this already,” Chuck says grimly.

Summary
Chuck grabs a big fistful of Mike’s hair, yanking his head back and away from Chuck's coils, and Mike can only hope his choked-off whine sounds more pained than— anything else, because he’s suddenly thinking about way too many anything elses.
“Stop moving,” Chuck hisses in Mike's ear, low enough to be inaudible under the noise of the Terras.

Summary
The events of Sol 18 will be analyzed by NASA, the media, and, eventually, by a congressional hearing.
This is what everyone can acknowledge to be true--during the trek to the MAV, the communications satellite is ripped from its moorings and careens through the air, knocking both Commander Melissa Lewis and Astronaut Mark Watney off their feet and into the air.

Summary
for gusface's prompt: I want to know what the fuck Sean Bean's character was doing at a golf course with kids. IS HE NOW A GOLF INSTRUCTOR? If you've read the book and there's an actual answer to this question you are forbidden from using that answer, you have to make up a dumb story instead. Bonus points for having the Fail Team Six come and take lessons from him and give him a hard time.

Summary
"Oh, hey, Vogel, you've got a telemetry update, and Commander, there's a space weather advisory for the crew."
"What does it say?" Lewis asked, coming to stand behind Johanssen.
"Hmm... we're going to be passing through the tail end of a comet debris field starting this afternoon, so there will be a slightly increased chance of micrometeoroid impacts."
Slightly increased? Yeah, it’s Ares III. Our luck is just not that good.

Summary
When the producers of The Watney Report had contacted her about doing a final wrap-up show on the one-year anniversary of the Ares 3 mission's return, Annie'd nearly thrown herself off a bridge. She'd thought she was done with this shit.
[Or, seven times they lied to the press.]
