Our Thirty-second and Thirty-third Week [ October 6th to October 17th]
Andrew brought to the Fortress -- Burn coming in own mission -- Zachary back from Titan --
QUICK OVERVIEW FROM WEEK ZERO UP TO NOW
[ Oct 17th ]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 introduced their Probes 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 other Ipsolstai troops had been looking for possible asylums. Fearing that the Amphibians may control the wormhole they sent Zachary through the Groove. He met Ipsolstai on Saturn's moon Titan. Coming back with a message he watched a hot discussion by the Ipsolstai on Mars. Then Burn visited Enoch to tell him that many Ipsolstai want to destroy the Probes. At the same time Enoch received very weak signals, and Enoch transmitted an image showing a huge lander.
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.
We sent as reply our last friendly offer for cooperation ......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 and brought him back to the Fortress. In the meanwhile Issac, the former EU-Iota-probe, started to develop its AI.
After Enoch's mechanical repair DrD will try to reanimate Andrew ...Are the Ipsolstai going to destroy our Probes ?? 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 ?? Have the C-probes landed ??
Will we be able to establish a peaceful link between the Ipsolstai and mankind ??OUR THIRTY-SECOND AND THIRTY-THIRD WEEK
[ October 6th to October 17th]Andrew brought to the Fortress -- Burn coming in own mission -- Zachary back from Titan --
[
Week 32] Zachary back from his trip through the Groove reported that Celeb.s had tricked him to enter the Anchor. He had been at Saturn's moon Titan and met other Ipsolstai there, who treated him just like a tape recorder. Back on Mars the Ipsolstai were excited about the message, he brought to them, but in a hot discussion Burn left and Celeb.s threw his translator box to the ground.[
Week 32] When Bette approached the Fortress with Andrew, she had to used one of the hidden tunnels to enter, as she was traced by an EU-probe. Inside, she met Enoch talking with Burn, who had come in by a small hovercraft vehicle. He told them that many of his brothers, want to destroy the probes. Then asking to wait he left a closed box behind.[
Week 33] Zachary informed us that two Ipsos are with Celeb.s against the Probes, Burn and another Ipso are pro and one Ipso is still uncertain. Bette send the last friendly offer to H&P, while Enoch finished the repair of Andrew's mechanic to be ready for DrD.'s reboot work by end of the week. Isaac became very active this week asking constantly questions and while playing Follow the Leader, Enoch stepped accidentally on the box, Burn had left. Inside Zachary found a portable devise. All this time the probes had received a ping-signal. Then Daniel sent an image showing an huge lander ...Are the Ipsolstai going to destroying our Probes ?? Can Andrew be reanimated ?? When will Gail come back ?? How can we handle the EU-probes ?? Is the new lander full of C-probes ??
