I believe it was Gail who suggested to Zach. that if he saw the J-probes he should play possum.   I personally feel that this is a BAD idea.   With the ETs we did not know what technology base we were dealing with, so playing possum was the best option.   We do have a general idea about what technology might be available to the Japanese.   I believe that the J-probe controllers may view our probes as a threat, and try to eliminate them.   Letting their probes get close to our probes could increase our losses.   I want to see what other suggestions people have before I communicate with our probes as to how they should react to the J-probes.
