QUICK OVERVIEW FROM WEEK ZERO UP TO NOW [June 6th ]
In Jose's cave Enoch and Bette have found alien tunnels, facilities and glyphs, but Bette got caught by ET robots after taking a ride on a transport that suddenly had appeared. So Andrew, who had found another cave himself, and Enoch, bothered by an artificial beanie, are on their way to rescue her. At the place, Bette had been captured, they found loose probe parts shut off by a glass barrier. Keeping on searching for Bette in the tunnels two fast moving EME's passed by ...
Stage 2 of Brace Control has already landed and drones are now building up facilities for a permanent Mars Base to come with Stage 3 ...
Daniel, lost and unable to transmit, was found by Zachary at the com platform, but acted strange and hostile, so Zachary locked him in a side canyon to pick up a drone's transmitter at the landing side to enable him to talk. Coming back with Gail, Daniel was gone. Up in the canyon they opened a hidden gate and Zachary got trapped. Free again, he and Gail hurried to the landing site, as the drones kept sending emergency signals. There they could observe a big vehicle that went away screaming as Zachary tried to transmit an image. Gail stopped Zachary to chase the tram, so they are now moving closer to com platform to send the image over ...
During all this time our self-aware and sentient probes have been unnerved by transmissions of Harden and Parker of Brunel-Brauer Gmbh, who claim to own the probes, as they have bought Brace Control, announcing their Stage 3 in transit with new probes to come and now trying to enter the system of our probes by a backdoor code ...
What happened to Bette ?? Do these parts, Enoch has found, belong to her ?? Can she be rescued ?? What's behind the entrance up the canyon ?? Is Daniel cooperating with the ET's ?? Are the ET's hostile or basically friendly ?? How can we talk to them ?? What will happen when H&P's probes will have been landed??
OUR THIRTEENTH AND FOURTEENTH WEEK [May 26th to June 6th]
Loose probe parts found in Jose's cave -- A big vehicle at the landing site
[Week 13th] In Jose's cave Enoch could finally manage to direct the tram to the exact place, Bette had been captured. Examining four rooms he and Andrew found two probe legs and one arm but shut off by a glass barrier too thick to break. Enoch got very desperate assuming these parts belong to Bette. Then a beanie showed up [Week 14th] but didn't bother them, so they kept on exploring in the tunnels as two fast moving "things", probably EME's, past them ...
[Week 13th] Zachary escaped his trap in the canyon when the gate opened for a moment. Because the drones kept sending "drone off course", he and Gail hurried to the landing site to fix them. Arriving there a big vehicle moved toward them. Hiding behind a dune [Week 14th] Zachary reported "Something came out, dropped a piece of a drone in a box and went back. When I boosted the power to transmit an image, the tram screamed and went away very fast." [Zachary 02/06] He wanted to chase after the tram, but Gail stopped him. So they went closer to the com platform to transmit the image of the tram ...
H&P tried to enter the probes' system by a backdoor code, but yet unsuccessfully ...
Beside the hard facts: Receiving Enoch's image of the probe parts we considered a variety of possibilities, what they might be for. Anyway, since then Gail and Andrew were acting pretty scared, but Enoch and Zachary wanted to moving on exploring, reckless to any risks ...
