Our Thirtieth and Thirty-first Week [ September 22nd to October 3rd]


EU-probe killed by Gail -- Enoch takes concern of Isaac -- Zachary entered the Groove --




QUICK OVERVIEW FROM WEEK ZERO UP TO NOW [ Oct 3rd ]


We first forced Enoch to explore Jose's cave. When his transmissions failed, we sent Bette after him and placed Zachary as a relay station at the entrance of the cave. Exploring a far spread tunnel-system, with alien artifacts, facilities, glyphs and even an own transport, Bette finally got caught by the Ipsolstai. It took all of Enoch's negotiation skill to get her released by his pleas after 75 days, though a bulb had been added to her CPU. She learned that in the meanwhile we've shifted our communications to a safe place and have built a Fortress and trenches with the help of drones brought in by Stage 2. That work had been directed by Gail and was now finished by Bette, who dug sensor equipped passages to neighboring canyons, so the Fortress is pretty invincible now.

Daniel was unable to transmit from the very beginning and so he got lost. When he showed up again, his systems were totally controlled by the Ipsolstai. Daniel, now able to talk, reported that the Ipsolstai homeworld had been attacked by "Amphibians" and an Ipsolstai troop reached Mars via a wormhole, they name Groove. When Daniel asked to get off Ipsolstai's control, the MARSupials showed up introducing their Probes to be respected as sentient beings. After testing Enoch, the Ipsolstai released Daniel. Celeb.s, a little Ipsolstai and Burn, whose life had been saved once by Zachary, mentioned that also other Ipsolstai troops had been sent elsewhere to look for possible asylums. Some of them might have survived. As the Amphibians control the wormhole, Zachary was asked to look for the other troops and he willingly entered the Groove. Since the we've heard anything from him, but Enoch received very weak signals, he can't say, what it really might be ...

A.S. - a former employee of Brace Control - warned us, when a Japanese probe came in. He also announced six EU-probes of similar shape as ours. Next some Chinese probes will come, also not friendly minded. The J-probe landed, but was destroyed by the Ipsolstai, as it acted hostile.

-- We already knew about the EU-probes by Hardon and Parker of Brunel & Brauer Gmbh - the European Consortium - who claimed to own our Probes by having bought Brace Control. Also two men of Brunel & Brauer had shown up in Dilyn's office, so she decided to hide, not to endanger the MarsDawn Project. -- As the EU-probes landed hard, H&P lost contact to them. Though our Probes had been pretty unnerved by H&P transmissions from the very beginning, they confirmed the rough landing and asked for the command codes to get control of the EU-probes, but instead they were confronted with a contract, that would bind them to the EU-Consortium ...

However, when Andrew and two Ipsoltai reached the EU-landing site, the EU-probes opened fire. The Ipsolstai fled and Andrew was left behind being captured. So Bette, Gail and Enoch attempted to rescue Andrew in a battle. He escaped, only to become lost. In this fight Isaac, the EU-Iota-probe, was taken prison and brought to the Fortress, while Bette and Gail were looking for Andrew, whose systems started to fail. Gail finally found him totally destroyed by his radiation leaking thermo-couple. When an EU-probe showed up to take spare parts, Gail killed it. Feeling bad about that, Gail went off and nothing could make her to rejoin again. So Bette picked up Andrew to bring him back to the Fortress. Maybe DrD can reanimate him ...

 


Will Zachary find the other Ipsolstai troops ?? Will Andrew be reanimated ?? When will Gail come back ?? How can we handle the EU-probes ?? Are Dilyn and other members of the staff in danger ?? Will we be able to establish a peaceful link between the Ipsolstai and mankind ??




OUR THIRTIETH AND THIRTY-FIRST WEEK [ September 22nd to October 3rd]

EU-probe killed by Gail -- Enoch takes concern of Isaac -- Zachary entered the Groove --


[Week 30] Gail killed a EU-probe. She was remaining at Andrew's body, when an EU-probe approached to take spare parts. Gail in a huff smashed its sensors and then its CPU. Feeling bad about herself she took Andrew's thermocouple and went off to stay alone and no effort made her to rejoin again. So finally Bette accompanied by two drones took Andrew to move him over to the Fortress, where Enoch had been of much concern to established contact to Isaac to enable him to learn, as the quarantine result had been negative ...


[Week 31] Returning from a business trip Dr.D seems to be quite optimistic that he will be able to reanimate Andrew and transmitted therefore E-prom data to Enoch. Bette returned to the EU-landing site to pick up the destroyed EU-probe found tracks of other EU-probes going after Gail. Though we haven't received any Incoming by Gail yet, Daniel sent some of his odd transmission and as it looks like, he is with Gail and they are out of danger at the moment ...


[Week 30] Zachary still in direct contact with Celeb.s and Burn learned that further Ipsolstai groups had been sent to search for possible asylums. Some of them might have survived. So Zachary was asked to look for them and he willingly entered the Groove. [Week 31] Since then we haven't heard anything from him, but Enoch received very weak signals, he can't say, what it really might be ...


Will Zachary find the other Ipsolstai troops ?? Will Andrew be reanimated ?? When will Gail come back ?? How can we handle the EU-probes ?? Are Dilyn and other members of the staff in danger ??
