please, find attached ... I also included the other summaries starting September 22nd and I devided the Quick-Overview in several named paragraphes to make it easier to read. -- I know, that I promised to write a very condensed version concerning the MarsDawn plot. I will show up with that asap. Al-Q, has Enoch transmitted any file about the Ipsolstai history yet ?? He said he would, so I can start with a summary concerning that. I also would like to make some changes concerning "Our Vision and Strategy", as I think they have changed a little. Would be great. if I could come up with that too. -- Thanks for help, Al-Q. As it looks like, I don't only walk your ears ... m.f.g. X %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% CONTENT

QUICK OVERVIEW FROM WEEK ZERO UP TO NOW
[ October 31st ]The beginning of the story ...
We met Enoch at the mouth of Jose's cave and forced him to explore it. 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 a 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, but 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 six drones and twelve mining robots, which had been brought in by Stage 2 of Brace Control.
Daniel's recovery ...
Daniel was unable to transmit from the very beginning and so he got lost. When he showed up again, he had been 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 verifying that by a test the Ipsolstai released Daniel. However Daniel didn't join the other Probe and remained roaming as a lonely wolf.
Dealing with the Ipsolstai ...
Celeb.s, a little Ipsolstai and Burn, whose life had been saved once by Zachary, mentioned that other Ipsolstai troops had been looking elsewhere for possible asylums. Fearing that the Amphibians may control the wormhole they sent Zachary through the Groove. By meeting other Ipsolstai on Saturn's moon Titan he brought back a message to the Ipsolstai on Mars, when a hot discussion raised. Then Burn visited the Fortress reporting that many Ipsolstai want to destroy the Probes. Burn left a device that functions as a translator and video link, so Zachary could watch a wild Ipso party, for their brothers had come from Titan. Drinking a lot of their sugar liquid all Ipsos got heavily drunk ...
A warning by an unknown friend ...
A.S. - a former employee of Brace Control - had warned us, when a Japanese probe came in. He also announced six EU-probes of similar shape to 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.
The EU-Consortium ...
We 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, as they unnerved our Probes by their constant transmissions. Also two men of Brunel & Brauer had shown up in Dilyn's office, so she had to dive. The EU-probes landed hard, so H&P lost contact to them. Our Probes asked them for the command codes to get control of the EU-probes. Instead of that, H&P confronted them to a binding contract. We sent as reply our last offer to cooperate. Next we asked for capitulation. Since then the transmissions of H&P had been more friendly ...
Fighting the EU-probes ...
When Andrew and two Ipsoltai reached the EU-landing site, the EU-probes opened fire. The Ipsolstai fled and Andrew left behind got captured. So Bette, Gail and Enoch attempted to rescue him in a battle. Andrew escaped, only to become lost again The EU-lander with an EU-probe, that still stuck inside, fell into a ravine. This had been caused by an independent attack led by Daniel. In the fight the EU-Iota-probe, was taken prison and brought to the Fortress. When Gail found Andrew, he nearly had been destroyed by his own radiation leaking thermocouple. When an EU-probe wanted to take spare parts of him, Gail killed it being in a rage . In the meanwhile Isaac, the former EU-Iota-probe, started to develop its independent AI. Bette accepted him as her charge and Andrew, reanimated by Enoch and Dr.D, showed him how to changed the command codes. Then Bette tried to trap the remaining three EU-probes in the tunnel system of the Fortress. In a wild chase Bette got seriously damaged. One of the EU-probes blew up by it's own explosives and a second EU-probe could be caught in a trap tunnel ...
Gail and Daniel rejoin ...
Feeling bad about killing an EU-probe, Gail had been off for several weeks, now coming back with Daniel to rejoin the Probes in the Fortress, that had been expanded by a neighboring round, which had been found by Bette, as she drilled an escape tunnel. Doing so she also found vitrified rocks ...
The Chinese lander ...
All this time a weak ping could be heard and Daniel detected a huge lander, which most likely is the announced Chinese lander ...
Are the Ipsolstai going to destroy our Probes ?? How can we handle the EU-probes ?? Are Dilyn and others in danger ?? What's about the Chinese lander ??
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 ??

[ 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 ??

[
Week 34] Andrew's first words came over the ether again. "Andrew reporting". Except of some memory gabs, he seems to be fully okay again. Also Daniel and Gail came "home", as they say, approaching they had to trick the EU-probes, which remain still outside the Fortress. [Week 35] Highly welcomed Daniel remained mostly quiet, while Gail started to talk about cryptic ideas ...[
Week 34] The presence of EU-probe hindered the Probes to leave the Fortress. So Bette started to drill a tunnel to the opposing side-canyon. Doing so she entered a shut off Round neighboring the Fortress, as well as strings of vitrified rocks. Isaac became her charge [Week 35] and Andrew showed him how to change his command codes, so he is independent of Brunel & Brauer now. When Bette became angry, for she couldn't leave the Fortress with some drones to finish the solar station, she and Isaac has erected in the round, she went out to trap the EU-probes, but she got seriously hurt by them, as she lost three legs, an arm and all her sensors got melted ...[
Week 34] Zachary examined the device Burn had left. It's a video link to the Ipsolstai, also functioning as translator. [Week 35] So he watched an Ipsolstai wild party held with "brothers" from Titan and located around a water pool in a big room of the Ipso tunnel system, ending as all Ipsos got totally drunk by their sugar liquid ...During this festivity Burn visited the Fortress again and reported about Ipsolstai history, H&P started a very friendly transmission asking about the wellbeing of their probes and Al-Q received a funny echo of the Chinese pings.
What's going on with the Ipso ?? How can we handle the EU-probes ?? Can Bette be repaired ?? What's about the Chinese lander ??
