Fics like When the Night is New

They named it MER-1, but they called her Opportunity. Her scientists had sent her here to explore the rocks, so she did. They wanted to know what they were made of, so she looked at them and poked at them and tested them. She sent her readings off to her scientists and was bemused by their excitement. She was just doing what they had asked, after all.
