Our Twenty-first Week to Twenty-third Week [ July 21st to July 25th ]
Enoch imprisoned -- Zachary negotiating -- Bette CPU bulbed -- Daniel asking for help -- Dilyn contacted

_____________

QUICK OVERVIEW FROM WEEK ZERO UP TO NOW [ August 8th ]

Bette was caught by ET's when she explored alien tunnels, facilities and glyphs in Jose's cave, but was released by Enoch's pleas after 75 days. Enoch communicating with the ETs in Jose's cave using a hologram projector, was put in prison as he stepped accidentally on the hologram controls. Andrew, in a monitor room, directed Bette through the tunnels by controlling an alien reconnaissance device we call a beanie. Bette not remaining patient opened the door to Enoch's jail, but Enoch decided to stay. When Andrew led the beanie to the room, where Zachary was negotiating with the Ipsos, the Ipsos got quite upset rushing to the Monitor room, but Bette and Andrew could hide, when the Ipsos approached to contact Enoch ...

Daniel, lost from the very beginning, has shown up again in the alien tunnels located behind a Gate in the Big Canyon, but his CPU has been changed by the Ipsolstia, as he names the ETs, whose homeworld had been attacked by Amphibians, so they fled to Mars. Daniel able now to transmit, led Zachary to the Anchor of the Ipsolstia where the Groove, a wormhole, is located, but he also is asking for help. Zachary refusing to step into the Groove was led to a room to meet the Ipsos, who don't respect our probes as sentient. So we introduced ourselves suggesting to test the probes over the weekend, when we are off contact with them ...

A.S. - a former employee of Brace Control - warned us, when a Japanese probe came in, telling us also that this weeks six European probe similarly constructed to ours, will land, and Chinese probes will come later on too; none of them friendly minded. The J-probe landed, but was destroyed by the ETs, as he acted hostile. In the meanwhile we've shifted our communications to a safe place and have built a Fortress and trenches with the help of drones brought in by Stage 2. All that work has been directed by Gail, who is now up the Big Canyon to check for possible passages leading in, but should be back by now to finish the Fortress ...

All this time our sentient probes have been unnerved by transmissions of Hardon and Parker of Brunel-Brauer Gmbh - the European Consortium - who claimed to own our probes by having bought Brace Control. They now claimed they had a lead on a woman that Jose Ferrer left his codes with, probably meaning Dilyn. As two man showed up in her office, Dilyn decided to vanish not to endanger the MarsDawn Project ...

Will the Ipsos respect our probes as sentient being ?? Will we be able to trap the European probes ?? Is Dilyn in danger ?? Can we guarantee the wellbeing of the Probes ?? Will we be able to establish a peaceful link between the Ipsos and mankind on Earth ??

OUR TWENTY-FIRST TO TWENTY-THIRD WEEK [ July 21st to August 8th ]
Enoch imprisoned -- Zachary negotiating -- Bette's CPU bulbed -- Daniel asking for help -- Dilyn contacted

Daniel led Zachary by a tram-ride through the tunnels to the Anchor, where the Groove is placed. He also transmitted: "Please help me" using a hidden code. [Week 22] - Server had been down - [Week 23] Zachary refusing to step into the Groove was led by Daniel to a hexagonal room to meet the Ipsos, who contacted us via Daniel doubting that the probes are sentient but under our control. Therefore, we introduced ourselves and told them how the probes became sentient suggesting to test them over the weekend, when we are off contact ...

Enoch, our Ambassador, was introduced to a cut away hologram of Bette with a colored bulb next to her CPU. Stepping accidentally on the hologram controls, he was set in prison again [Week 23] We advised Enoch to scratch: : "I am SENTIENT! Do not modify me!" at the wall and to play possum, when the Ipsos' return.

Andrew directed Bette through the tunnels by a beanie to meet him in the Monitor Room. But Bette remained not patient. After examining a container of glucose [week 23], she went directly to Enoch's jail to open the door, while Andrew led a beanie to the room, where Zachary was negotiating with the Ipsos. Very upset of that two Ipsos rushed to the Monitor Room, Andrew could leave in time, but he and Bette had to hide, as the Ipsos went over to contact Enoch ...

While Gail was exploring the Big Canyon for passages leading in, she left a transmitter at the hidden Gate to help Daniel, but she should now return to finish the Fortress, as the EU-probes will land next week ...

Dilyn, the head of the staff, was told that two men had shown up at her office, maybe of H&P, so she will keep her head down not to endanger the MarsDawn Project, as she mentioned in her last message in Week 21 ...

Beside the hard facts: It is essential for us in regard of further relationship with the Ipsos that they respect the probes as sentient beings. By doing so they should release Daniel and remove the bulb from Bette's CPU. as she We also have set explicitly the wellbeing of the probes as a main value above our vision.
