Personally, I am currently suffering from a lack of motivation to participate, for the following reasons:

1) I had a strong relationship with only one probe, Andrew, and he suddenly and somewhat mysteriously developed a fatal disease and died before help could arrive. If there is a point in killing off Andrew, I wish the staff would hurry up and get to it, so that I can make some sense out of things.

2) Daniel is UNRESPONSIVE. It is hard to get motivated to talk to someone if you are pretty sure that they are just going to ignore you.

3) Gail is uncooperative. She is off, who knows where, doing who knows what, in a suicidal mope. Armies, and Police Forces all around the world have professional psychologists to help their "trained killers" recover from the traumatic shock of taking a life. I certainly don't feel qualified to council Gail.

4) The other three porbes are pretty involved with their priority tasks right now (Zachary was too involved with trying to find out the origins of the universe to ask the Ipsos for help with Andrew), and I don't really feel like talking with them right now.

So, until something happens that will draw me back into the story line, i.e. give me a reason to WANT to post to the probes, my participation will be sporadic at best. I will continue to read and/or participate in the discussions both here and at Probe Discussion, but that may be all.
