SkiKing is asking at DTR 17/9:
>Daniel has sent a gift to Xanthos. Is there any special
>significance to the view and location of that image?
All I can see, it's pretty exactly the same picture Gail sent at Sept. 2nd, when she had been at the Fortress. What I wonder is that she stated in her transmission:
>"I went outside the Fortress into the Big Canyon. Both moons were rising, and I could see Earth" ... [therefore the picture is looking east, as there are no plains in the west] ...
[now, what me worries: ] ... "I didn't see any sign of Daniel" ... [though he must be directly next to her taking a picture at the same time at the same location] ... "It makes me worried not to know where he is or what he is doing, so I went back to help Bette." [though even if Gail moved over to Bette at night the picture must be still eastbound, as it can't be taken in the evening then]
Next what occupies my concern is that we can't see Olympus Mons at this picture. I mean no doubt, that you can't see him in the morning dust, as his Escarpment is a 150 miles away, but after all, it's impossible that the red glowing of the morning sun can be seen at the horizon, though Olmpus Mons is in between.
So, that brings me back to Bombardiers Groove theory. Maybe there is something like little Grooves open and the Ipsolstai don't know about it. These Grooves are dislocating our Probes, but they can't realize it. -- Hadn't it been Daniel, who asked Zachary once to step into the Groove at the Anchor ?? As I remember, he did it in a way that makes it thinkable that he has some experience using it. Maybe just by dropping some stuff into it, but also perhabs by using this transport by his own.
Has he sent me a picture from an unknown Groove Anchor ?? Had Gail passed unintentionally through this Groove shortly before or after Daniel, so they missed each other by seconds ?? -- Gail must not have realized their trip, as she had been brought back immediately by stepping back after she made the picture. -- Why has she taken exactly that picture ?? Why did Daniel ??
SkyKing, I realized that, only for you asked me. Has anyone any other idea ?? What's about to direct Gail to the place again, where she has taken that picture ?? Maybe we can find out something. -- Please show up, and drop me a little tiny word ... see you ...

Btw, SkyKing is saying in his DTR. "We may lose Andrew altogether."
I say simply. "No, we don't" -- Don't paint the devil's face at the wall^1), SkyKing.
