Hi Dr.D,
I haven't found my last summary at the current Recent History. No problem at all. I've kept it included in this summary update, though Carol's proofread was displaced. Anyway, new parts are the "Overview" and "Our Twenty-sixth Week". -- Please find attached --
m.f.g.

PS: Thanks a lot for proofreading to redwing.

_______________________________
QUICK OVERVIEW FROM WEEK ZERO UP TO NOW
Bette was caught by Ipsolstai when she explored alien tunnels, facilities and glyphs in Jose's cave, but was released by Enoch's pleas after 75 days. She learned that 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. That work had been directed by Gail, who got lost lately somewhere up the Big Canyon, but was found and repaired by Enoch, while Bette, though still afraid about a bulb that had been placed at her CPU by the Ipsos, started to dig tunnel with traps as passages from the Fortress to neighbor canyons, so the Fortress will become invincible ...
Daniel, lost from the very beginning and unable to speak, has shown up in the alien tunnels located behind a Gate in the Big Canyon. His CPU has been altered by the Ipsos. Daniel now able to transmit, reported that the Ipsolstai homeworld had been attacked by Amphibians, so the Ipsos fled to Mars. Leading Zachary to the Anchor of the Groove, a wormhole, he also asked Zachary for help. When Zachary refused to step into the Groove, Daniel led him to meet the Ipsos. After testing Enoch, the Ipsos has been accepting our probes as sentient and released Daniel. Celeb.s, a little Ipso, offered his friendship to Zachary and introduced to him his homeworld and a scheme of the Groove, that had been usurped by the Amphibians. We offered our help, which has been welcomed, as their might be some tasks ...
A.S. - a former employee of Brace Control - warned us, when a Japanese probe came in, also announcing the landing of the EU-probes. Next some Chinese probes will come, also not friendly minded. The J-probe landed, but was destroyed by the Ipsos, as he acted hostile.
The incoming and hard landing of the EU-probes was observed by Andrew in an alien vidroom. Estimating them 30 miles SW of the Big Canyon Andrew and two Ipsos went over to the landing site by tram, while four of the six EU-probes could open their hatch. They look similar to our probes but with metal tubes and extra sensors mounted on the sides and top. When Andrew arrived a canned message warned them to trespass "private property" and the EU-probes opened automatically fire by guns and flame-throwers against the Ipsos, so they fled with their Big Tram leaving Andrew back behind ...
From the very beginning 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. When two men showed up in her office, Dilyn decided to hide not to endanger the MarsDawn Project. Bette confirmed the landing of their probes on their request by saying: "The atmospheric entry and planetary impact of a reentry vehicle was noted." As H&P's communication to their probes fails, Enoch is yanking the chain to get the command codes of the Eu-probes ...
What kind of tasks are we going to meet by helping the Ipsolstai ?? How can we handle the EU-probes ?? Is Dilyn and other members of the stuff in danger ?? Will we be finally able to establish a peaceful link between the Ipsos and mankind ??

OUR TWENTY-FOURTH AND TWENTY FIFTH WEEK [ August 11th to August 22nd ]
Gail lost -- Probes accepted as sentient -- Ipso "Celeb.s" offering friendship -- EU-probes landed
No incoming transmissions by Gail. So we considered her as lost somewhere in the Big Canyon. Andrew went to the vidroom to look for her, but was herded into a corner, when two excited Ipsos arrived turning the vidcameras into space [Week 25] watching the EU-probes coming in but landing hard. Estimating them 30 miles SW of the Big Canyon Andrew and two Ipsos went over to the landing site using the Big Tram, while four of the six EU-probes could open their hatch. They look similar to our probes but with metal tubes and extra sensors mounted on the sides and top ...
Enoch being interviewed by the Ipsos over the weekend reached the Big Canyon accompanied by Bette to look for Gail [Week 25] finding her covered by a rockslide in a steep side canyon. They cleared her off rocks with the help of two drones and brought her over to the Fortress to fix her. Fortunately she was not too seriously damaged.
In the tunnels Zachary was met by Celeb.s, a little Ipso, who offered his friendship reporting that the probes are accepted as sentient. [Week 25] After investigating about our intentions the Ipsos led Zachary to a hologram room to show him some bad things that have-- happened ...
H&P angry about a chain yank confirmed their interaction with Dilyn. [Week 25] In return Bette confirmed the landing of their probes by saying: "The atmospheric entry and planetary impact of a reentry vehicle was noted." Since then H&P have been a little noisy ...
Beside the hard facts: Now clear with the Ipsos we should to learn more about their situation and beside that we also should learn how to deal with the EU-probes ....

OUR TWENTY-SIXTH WEEK [ August 25th to August 29th ]
Gail rescued -- Daniel released -- EU-probes contacted -- Zachary introduced to Ipsolstai homeworld
When Andrew arrived with two Ipsos at the EU-landing site, a canned message sent by the EU-probes warned them to trespass "private property". By identifying the Ipsos the EU-probes opened automatically fire by guns and flame-throwers mounted at their casing, so the Ipsos fled with their Big Tram leaving Andrew back behind, who had been trying to communicate with the probes ...
In the Fortress Enoch could fix Gail and assisted Andrew by yanking at H&P's chain to get the command codes of the EU-probes, while Bette supervised the mining robots to dig passages with traps to side canyons, so the Fortress becomes invincible. Gail is already planning a housewarming party for that.
Daniel has become very happy, when he was released by the Ipsos. Though all probes welcomed him nicely, none of them will take care of him, as he acts very childish and immature. Still in the large hologram room Zachary was introduced by Celeb.s, his little Ipsolstai friend, to a scheme of their homeworld and also to the fact, that the Groove has been usurped by the Amphibians, who perhaps can sense them through an open anchor. We offered our help, which has been welcomed, as there might be some tasks ...
