Some sort of brightly colored markings would be good. I had thought about some sort of inscribed symbol, perhaps like the one Zachary observed on the tram, but that could be duplicated by the E-probes if they have sufficient dexterity and a sharp object.

I think we should put off telling them until 2 weeks before their scheduled arrival. I forget when they're supposed to arrive, so I hope this will give us additional time to gain the ETs trust. I am guessing that it will take at least a week to explain to them that not all humans are friendly, plus a couple of days to explain that possibly unfriendly probes of a similar design will be arriving soon.
