Well the first six lines are fairly straight forward.
The "Groove" is the Ipsos' means of interstellar/intergalactic travel. It seems they sent some folx to evaluate other sites (including Mars). They came in ships which are only capable of warp 1.5. Once the selected Mars as a base, they set up a Groove terminal (anchor). The Groove allowed them to travel and to send data and supplies back and forth to/from the homeworld.
Now the last line could be interpreted two ways, as I see it.
1 - Historically, the amphibians invaded the homeworld and the Grove was closed (either by the Amphibians as an act of war or by the Ipsos for protection). Hence, they are cut off from the homeworld. In light of Zachary's report, it seems likely that the Martian Ipsos shut down the Groove from their end to keep the Amps away.
2 - Now, the probes have re-started the Groove and the Ipsos, fearing the return of the Amps, want them to turn it off.
I think we should review the Andrew/Enoch/tunnel incident and see if they did anything that might have started up the Groove. Is there some sort of switch that Zach can turn off?
If the Amphibians are still as bad as the Ipsos think they are, it is very important that the Groove be stopped at least for now.
Now, I'm going to go back and do a little research.
Anybody else have any ideas about the situation?
