Your suggestions are good ones, especially for a long dead Prince of Denmark.
The enlargement of the fortress is badly needed, not only due to overcrowding, but also anticipated increased need for a place to call Home. We aren't welcome in the Ipso complex anymore, and there's a better than even chance the probes will be violently not welcome there. Factor in the C-probes' presence, and I see no choice.
Also, your ideas about Isaac are the same as mine: cute and cuddly but raised by wolves. We've gotta refine his nature so he won't bite.
And yeah, I would like to monkey with the Ipso gadget, too, but not without a visual first. Why don't you go ahead and send a message to the probes with your ideas? If you haven't spoken with them yet, be sure to introduce yourself, somebody else will doubtless confirm your ID.
