SUBJECT>Ipso's friends or foes? POSTER>Bryce EMAIL>Bryc2@yahoo.com DATE>Thursday, 19 March 1998, at 12:02 p.m. IP_ADDRESS> REMOTE_HOST: 204.239.41.12; REMOTE_ADDR: 204.239.41.12 PREVIOUS> NEXT> 4281 IMAGE> LINKNAME> LINKURL>

I'm starting to wonder if we assumed that the Ipso's were our friends just because thay were the first ET's we made contactt with. How much do we really know about them? Perhaps they started the war with the Amps and they are the aggressors. Obviuosly there is a faction of hostile and rather nasty Ipso's who are into probe research and dissection. Even Burn now appears to be hiding things from us.

I don't know if the Ips's are the bad guys or not but I, for one am totally against our probes being used for research and testing. Is this behavior an ingrained and rather twisted part of Ipso culture or have the trials of thier war with the Amps caused them to become secretive and to treat other races as guinie pigs? I don't know but it seems that Andrew and the others in the complex are in big trouble and maybe the relations between us and all races of ET,s should be examined. Any thoughts or plans?

Also, how should we advise Andrew, Bette and Isaac in the event of more hostile Ipso advances. Should we trust the Nest guy(NM)? Is there
some way of getting the Amps side of the story?
