>Group 1, the Ipsos on Mars, Burn's brothers. Group 2, the Ipsos on Titan (maybe), the other brothers.
That means these brothers on Titan or who else must be of strong influence to the Ipsolstai on Mars. As you mentioned that the Amphibians proceeded by mechanical entities first, that could mean also that the Ipsolstai have some ultimate rule not to accept any other entities, especially foreign robots in their new homeworld, they are looking for and the brothers on Titan mentioned that to the Ipsolstai on Mars in their message. So Zachary was maybe carrying his own sentence to death with him. That's what the hot discussion had been about and that's why Celeb.s smashed his translator and Burn left.
On the other hand, Gen and the EU-probes have acted absolutely hostile to them, so why should they trust in human good will. We urgently need a plan to increase trustworthiness. Not easy after the Ipsolstai have treated our Probes unkindly too for several times, but essential to survive. However, when Burn comes back, we need some answers or questions. Maybe Enoch should act again as an Ambassador, but what to tell them ??
