Ratboy said, "Whatever it is in those tunnels was there a long time before we arrived. We are just visiting."  We don't know this to be true.  For all we know, the EMEs only arrived within the last two weeks.  Sure it is probably a safe assumption that the EMEs were there first, but to say that we don't have the right of exploration is taking it a bit far.  If you were to stumble upon a ghost town in the Arizona desert (a ghost town that no one knew was there) would you go knocking on all the doors before entering any of the buildings.  Of course not, you would probably run around willy nilly looking for antiques and collectibles and such.  I don't think we have done anything wrong, nor are we doing anything wrong.  What if the EMEs were left/abandoned along with the tunnels, and they are not much more than security drones, pre-programmed to act as they did.  How are the probes going to communicate with them if they are incapable of communicating?  Do we just give up this wonderful opportunity for discovery because the dog barked when we opened the front door?<p>Taz<br>
