Taz,
I have posted something that I hope will be calming. I reaffirmed that his purpose for being built has not changed, and reiterated that I have told him the truth as I know it. Remember that we don't know for sure who Parker and Hardon are, so we cannot unequivocally say to any of the probes that they are "bad." We can only say that they are not being nice to try to force the probes to do things. Neither can we say for sure that Parker and Hardon are lying when they say they are Brace Control. Maybe one of the MN's have named themselves Brace. We can only say that the Brace Control that launched the probes no longer exists. If we make unsubstantiated statements now, we run the risk of later appearing to have lied to the probes. As they mature they may understand the distinction between deliberate lies and misstatement as a result of faulty information, but right now, I think that would take a lot of explaining.
