I have noticed we are not being consistent in terminology when refering to the MNs' probes. I am reposting the dictionary I sent to each of the probes in the hopes we will all "use the same program" when communicating with our charges.

Hello Probes, this is Space Turtel.

Much to my surprise and pleasure, I have noticed the other MARSupials are beginning to use the names I have given the probes and ET objects. I want to make certain that we are all using the same terms, so I thought I would send this summary to all of you. The MARSupials have already received this list.


Probes - that is you, the original explorers from Brace Emprise.

ET-probes - formerly called E-probes, these are the EMEs that accompany the EBEs

J-probes - the Japanese probe(s)

C-probes - the Chinese probe(s)

EU-probes - the European probe(s)

T-tram - the tunnel tram

ET-tram - the Big Tram used by the ETs on the Martian surface

Beanie - a mobile reconnaissance device (assumed to belong to the ETs)

Are there any more terms we should be adding to the dictionary? Let's try to keep it as up-to-date as possible. I will repost it to the Probes whenever necessary.
