C) Suggestions of Solutions:

1) We need some overview of the stuff at Stage 2
2) We have to try to get contact with Daniel and Bette via the e-beacon.
3) After Gail & Zachary will have found the entrance. Gail has to move over
two shielded drones with further stuff for protection and three shielded
robot miners.

4) First attempt to contact the EBE's by using miner robots to move to the
"center of the street", so in the worst case they got shot instead of a probe.

5) Same with Andrew and Enoch, by sending some robot miners to them too.

One of the most difficult information units to pass on are negations. The most difficult of that is to communicate: "I won't harm you".

Paul Watzlawic from Palo Alto mentioned once, how dolphins are doing that: They are offering their weakest point to touch to the opposite. After that, they softly take a week point of the opposite, a leg or arm, between their teeth saying by that: "You could, but you won't. I could, but I won't either. So let's be friends"

But I don't have an idea, how to establish that with the EBE's.
Anyone else ??
