Though, they left to discuss the sentient status of the probes, they have asked concrete questions, which should be answered. Bombardier, may I still ask you to act as our Ambassador, as your last transmissions had been so eloquent. So, here my opinions:
First of their question:
>Will the new probes be hostile?
In my opinion, the answer is, we don't know, but it is better to be aware of.
Second of their question:
>Are new probes also sentient to you?
As I see, the answer is, they are not sentient to us. But that's a good occasion to mention again, that they will look the same as Zachary and the others. To compare directly how the EU-probes act and how our probes act should make the difference evident. -- I think, our ideas concerning Light speed time lag and Faraday's cage should be delivered on request.
Referring to their second question, I think, we should mention the Fortress, the Probes built up, so the EU probes can't change their commando codes, meaning our Probes would loose their independence. And we should tell them that final work like drilling tunnels as hidden passages has to be done to finish the Fortress. -- Not an easy item of information to be transported, as the Ipsos might ask, who are the real bad guys. These who are searching or these who are hiding, or both of them ??
Finally or maybe better at the beginning, we should tell them, that we have advised Andrew to stop interfering with Ipsolstia machines and we are quite sure, he will follow this advise.
However, I would be a little careful not to offer more than absolutely necessary concerning things like the transmitter at the hidden gate, though I understand the intention and perhaps you are right, that by doing so it might be the best way to help Daniel to get released, which for sure is a high gain by just simply risking a drone's transmitter. Yes, sure. I agree. Please go ahead, Bombardier.
