| Emmanuel 2.0 |
For the mission team in Chennai, it was a nerve-wracking 24 hours vigil. Given the volatile and easily combustible nature of the satellite and the quirkiness of the Chief Architect, Mission Director Mr. Prince Nehemiah and Chief Communication Strategist Ms. Rachel Prince had to deftly oversee the launch.
Recounting the experience, Mission Director Mr. Nehemiah explained how the search for a suitable planet for Emmanuel 2.0 started almost 2 years ago. Only planets with abundant and rare wildlife, lifetime supply of Pizza and Coke and relatively less human population has to be selected. Planet Toronto was selected as it fitted the bill on all counts (though more exploration is still needed to validate fully) Equipped with sophisticated sensors and tweaked with Natural Intelligence (as opposed to Artificial Intelligence) Emmanuel 2.0 is designed to sense out the aroma of freshly baked pizzas or the musk of a moose almost from a mile away.
To the question on what was the biggest challenge in sending Emmanuel 2.0 on the chosen orbit, the mission director explained that the tricky manoeuvre of separating the satellite from the mother ship and chief architect Ms. Leela was the most challenging task in his entire career. With the Chief Communication Strategist also experiencing a meltdown moments before the launch, it was very challenging to focus on the mission and ensure that the satellite is launched on time and placed on its planned orbit.
Explaining why she had to follow a strict no communication rule about the mission, communication strategist Ms. Rachel said that the mission itself is
very delicate and sensitive nature and any miscommunication could sabotage the entire mission. Only few key people knew about the mission. But, now that Phase I of the launch is completed, she said she’s free to list out the objectives of Mission Emmanuel 2.0:
Mission Objectives:
1. To boldly go where no man (or woman) has gone before in search of Pizza, Grizzly Bears, Bob cats and Canada Lynx (strictly in that order)
2. To study physiological changes in the human body during and after drinking ice cold coke in sub-zero temperatures.
3. To take stunning photographs of falling shadows and puddles of water completely blurring out the equally stunning human models in the background.

With Mission Emmanuel a roaring success, is there a chance of launching Mission Rachel in the near future?
“No Comments” was the curt reply from the Chief Communication Strategist.
