Title: Astronautical Diplomacy
Fandom: The Martian
Characters: Mark Watney, Rick Martinez
Disclaimer: My deepest respects to Andy Weir
Warning: References to politics and chauvinists
Note: Draws on details from both book and movie, and should work in both universes.
( Everyone who knows enough about Mark Watney, including his large fanbase, knows he keeps to a certain schedule when it comes to interacting with the human race. )
