      Martian colony, 2224, your guide at the Museum of Mars: And here we have the famous hitchhiking stone, which was retrieved after a 3500 kilometer trek from the colonial landing site to reclaim the Perseverance so that these two old friends could finally be reunited in time for the 200th year anniversary of their untimely separation.
