Hello all, I hope you won't mind if I make a few observations regarding the conversation and particularly the C-Probe.
I noticed that there was significant confusion between Bette and Zachjary concerning the probe's heading and bearing-is it possible that they are picking up two different signals? It may be that the stationary signal Zach was reading was actually the "lander" type object Daniel saw earlier. If that is some sort of remote control/command unti-it may be easier, safer and more productive to approach it. Enoch seems very adept at mechanical manipulation and if there is a way to hack that unit-you may have access to control of the C-Probe without risking a confrontation. Also I saw a number of ideas suggesting leading the probe into the cave where Bette and Issac are, but didn't she say the hill leading up to the cave was too steep for it to climb?
One other thing is that I was noticing that Issac was always wanting to play number games when he was "young". Is it possible that this reflects some aspect of the EU programing? Perhaps encryption algorithms or other valuable data. Maybe someone should bring up those number games with Issac again to see if they might not bear some valuable fruit-not to mention I'm sure he'd love the opportunity to play, he may need cheering up when he finds out about Lucy :(
I hope I can participate here in the future.
