As the summary update from yesterday has moved down
the board already, so I re-post the correction by ChessieCat up here.
Dr.D Please use the attached summary for update instead of Chessie's mailed one.
It is exactly the same but this one shows the full length of lines. -- Thanks a lot --

QUICK OVERVIEW FROM WEEK ZERO UP TO NOW [ July 11th ]
When Enoch and Bette explored alien tunnels, facilities, and glyphs in Jose's cave, Bette was caught by ETs, after she had left Enoch behind by taking a ride on a transport that suddenly had appeared. Since then Andrew, who had found another cave himself, and Enoch, bothered by an artificial beanie, have been looking for Bette to rescue her. --
Daniel, lost from the very beginning, was found by Zachary, but acted strange and hostile, so Zachary locked him in a side canyon. Coming back with Gail, Daniel was gone. After being trapped by a hidden gate Zachary approached an ET-tram, but was stopped by warning shots. When leaving the ETs scratched TIAW on the ground. --
At that time A.S. - a former employee of Brace Control - warned us, that a Japanese probe is soon to land. In five weeks six European probes will come, and Chinese probes later on too; none of them friendly minded. So we shifted our Communications to a safe place and directed our probes to built up a Fortress and trenches by changing the priorities of the drones, which had been brought in by Stage 2 to build up a permanent Mars Base for a manned Stage 3 to come. --
Next we sent Andrew to a monitor room that Bette had previously discovered. Observing Earth, a Purple Planet, and Mars he reported the incoming of the J-probe, which demanded all discoveries on Mars as his claim, shot a beanie and wounded two ETs, as Zachary reached Jose's cave. When the ETs returned, Gen - the J-probe - began to shout, but went quiet after 45 seconds. Has he been zapped by the ETs ?? ...
In the meanwhile Enoch had got into direct contact with the ET's communicating with them by writing at a hologram projector. Though arrested during the Gen-crisis, he now was told about Amphibians, who attacked the ET's homeworld, if Joule's interpretation is correct. -- Then a transmission from Bette came in, as she rebooted several times, but status showed her tape unused for 89%. Has she lost her enhanced AI ?? ...
All this time our sentient probes have been unnerved by transmissions of Harden and Parker of Brunel-Brauer Gmbh, who claimed to own our probes by having bought Brace Control. Now they had a lead on a woman, that Ferrer left his codes with, probably meaning Dylin ...
What about Bette ?? Has Gen be zapped by the ETs ?? Is Joule's interpretation correct ?? Has Bette lost her enhanced AI ?? What about Daniel ?? Is Dilyn in danger ?? ... Will we be finally able to establish a peaceful contact between the ETs and mankind on Earth ??
________________
THE NINETEENTH WEEK [ July 7th to July 11th ]
At the mouth of Jose's cave, Zachary saw how Gen - the J-probe anchored at the non metal thing- shot at two ETs wounding them. Screaming on all frequencies, causing Gen to reboot, Zachary helped the third ET in the big Tram to save both other ETs. Playing possum, whenever Gen reacted, Zachary escaped. When the ET-tram returned to Jose's cave, Gen began to shout, but went quiet after 45 seconds. Has he been zapped by the ET's ?? ...
In Jose's cave Enoch was released from arrest and interviewed by an ET, who talked about groves, anchors and amphibians. Joule theorized that the ET's homeworld had been attacked by Amphibians, who had come through a space-whole (groove) establishing a base (anchor) there. Some ETs fled to Mars, but by closing their groove they can't go home again. They had slept till our probes woke them up, assuming our probes were from the amphibians.
In the meanwhile Andrew got control over another beanie at the monitors and Gail finished the trenches from Stage 2 to the Fortress. -- Then a transmission from Bette came in, as she rebooted several times. Though her status showed power supply at 98 %, her tape unit was 89 % unused. Has she lost her enhanced AI ?? ...
In a transmission to Gail, Hardon told Parker that he had a lead on a woman that Ferrer left his codes with. Did they mean Dilyn ?? Is she in danger ?? ...
Beside the hard facts: A lot of questions have arisen at the moment, and the plot has got a fast drive ...
