Our friend, Jonathan Niles Naughton from the East Valley Behavioral Research Group appears to be working with Miss Chang. Now there is a chain just begging to be yanked. We ought to be able to use this to our advantage.
I suggest that we let Gail know with whom Miss Chang is dealing and let her know what the Not One thinks of the probes:
From the June 16, 1997 Team Report by the Not One:
Enoch has blundered again. He has managed to get himself separated from Andrew and locked behind doors. His obsession
with Bette has corrupted his objective thinking and left him useless to further exploration. Recommend that all future team
efforts be reserved for functional probes.
Andrew’s abilities would best be utilized in running the surface drones. Monitor his activities closely. His desire for
independence and his unexpected talent to reprogram himself and other intelligent machines, make him unreliable. Subvert any
desire for independent action on his part.
Gail has an unhealthy fear of the unknown. Her AI programming must have a fault in it. A paranoid personality is developing,
get her a shrink.
Zachary needs to listen to direction more carefully. He is too quick to take action on his own. He needs command and
structure. Take a firm tone with him and force him to listen to what the teams decide is necessary.
The MARSupials are too passive and let all the probes do too much of the thinking. The probes are machines but the
MARSupials insist on treating them as independent, sentient, life forms. They need to be reminded that the probes are TOOLS
for a purpose.
Maybe this would let Gail know not to trust Miss Chang.
Any other ideas?
