I am less sure about what to propose for Enoch and Andrew. On one hand Enoch might be too unstable to be a good ambassador when he encounters an ET. I'm afraid that despite our warnings and instructions he will try to attack them. On the other hand, it would take days for them to leave the tunnel system, and if Gail and Zachary are busy fortifying a cave, someone should still be trying to make contact with the ETs whether on the surface or in the tunnels. I am leaning toward instructing Enoch to continue alone looking for Bette with strongly worded instructions about what to do if he encounters any ETs and having Andrew return to the surface to help with the efforts up there, provided that he can get there in less than a week. In any case, given the ETs firepower, there really isn't any particular safety in numbers. The only reason I can think of for Andrew to remain with Enoch is to restrain Enoch's impulsive nature.
