The transmissions to and from the Probes with MarsDawn are secure.
I will not go into a long explanation of how or why, but let me assure everyone that our transmissions are not being intercepted.

As far as the MarsDawn site being spied upon, I think that is highly improbabable. Even if the MNs *were* aware of us, they would dismiss our efforts with a wave of the hand. They are probably very arrogant, and secure in their own technology.

I believe we should continue with the work we have been doing, the organization of the teams, building good relationships with the Probes, etc... Apparantly, someone has communicated with the Probes via their own transmission system. My first guess would be
the Mns. The Probes need us to remain calm and consistant in our communications with them. Their trust in us will be their protection, and we must continue to build that trust.

Dr D. and I will review various options for site security, but I think we are safe for now. The Mns probably don't even know we are here.
