Andrew, just guess.
It is One that speaks,
But One is not seen.
One is saying that
No one will survive.
So One says:
Flee and Fly.
What does that mean?
Do you know?
* * NO TRANSMISSION RECEIVED * *
We turned the tram around immediately when Andrew's distress signal came in, so
we are heading south again. After several hours we reached the small passage at the
crack that leads to the southern plains. Then Al-Q's message came in saying that we
should not enter the plains, because the C-probes have them fully under control.
Therefore, we turned the tram around again. So, we are looking for a passage at the
northeast edge of the mountain range now. We drove up each canyon. No chance. They
are all ending at a huge vertical cliff. We checked them all. Doing so, we reached
ravines' lock again. It's a shame, Andrew and Daniel are still up there and these
ravines block us to go around the mountain chain.
We are still standing on top of these dumb ravines and we are looking down to their
bottom. The tram is standing back behind us. The ravines are too steep and too deep
and we are too stupid too.
We are so desperate. We don't know what else we could do. We talked to Andrew
and Daniel all the time. We must help them. There must be a way to help them, but
we are too stupid to find it.
Whoever said that we are of artificial intelligence should cancel 'intelligence'. We
are artificial. That's all.
There must be a way. There must! There must!
Enoch is very desperate since we reached ravines lock again. He is walking up and
down along the ravines. It's truly a shame. We haven't found a way to rescue them
yet. I went back to the tram. I also believe that there must be a way to rescue them.
I'm puzzling about that forth and back.
There is one idea that I have and that is getting sharper and sharper, as longer as
I'm thinking about it. It sounds maybe silly, but the last chance that is left to Enoch
and me could be the miners that Andrew left back behind with the drones. Maybe
we can use them to cut steps or drill a rescue tunnel inside up that mountain, so the
C- probes can't see us. I don't know, if that will work. We only have to leave the
tram at the crack and then to creep carefully to the miners.
"Andrew, how's about the C-probes at the plains? We are thinking about to leave
the tram at the crack and then use the miners to get up to you. Can you send us a
picture?"
Yes, that could be a way.
Andrew reporting.
The weekend was tough, very cold and windy again. Daniel tried to get back to the
ridge again. He slithered down the crevice. I hardly could stop him.
We played games, Grand Zero. The time passed quicker by doing that. We played
the twenty questions that JASE told us. Where is JASE? Do you know?
We also tried to come up with creative solutions to ongoing problems. First, we
have to stop the C-probes. So Enoch and Zachary should go to their lander. And
we have to become friends of the Ipsolstai too. Celeb has to learn that. I tried to
tell Bette about that, but I couldn't reach her. Do you know, what happened to her?
I'm worried.
I'm brave, Space Turtle. I know fear and I control it. I'm worried but not afraid. Gail
is coming. I know. I passed her my coordinates. She knows, where we are. Al-Q is
leading her.
Daniel and I were discussing about the markings on the cave walls. We don't know
about their meaning. Concerning that carbon coating around the filter in Jose's cave
could that be because they reduce CO2?
" Zachary! Stop!!"
I just lurked down to the plains. The C-probes detected us. Maybe because of our transmissions. I don't know. They formed a circle and they are pointing their sensors directly toward us. That doesn't look good. I just feel to be double trapped.
"Forget about the miners, Zachary. The C-probes got us. Don't come down here!"
"Daniel, do you see that one in the center? That seems to be a chief."
Wow, I never got as many messages as I did over the last weekend. It will be
quite a lot work to answer them all. I'm up the Big Canyon now and I made a
rest, so I can thank you all for your sympathy and find answers to all of your
questions. I will do that in a chronological order. Is that okay with you?
The image shows the place, where I am now.
Thanks for compliments, Grand Zero. I will take care of myself, so you won't
loose me and I can bring help to Andrew and Daniel.
Dr.D, thanks a lot for all that training that you gave us at Brace Emprise. I just
wondered that you never told us how a single probe can climb up a rock face by
using a rope. Thanks for telling me now that there is no way to do so. Yes, I know
that I never had been good in throwing a rope, so I did a little training up here.
I lost the rope for one time, but then I learned to fix one end of it first. I'm much
better now.
Xanthos, Al-Q contacted me already, so I know that I can't go down to the plains.
Al-Q also said that he will lead me over the mountain chains. Maybe I can get to
the top of the mountain, where Andrew and Daniel are, and then I throw the rope
to them. I measured the rope. It's about 200 feet long. Do you think that will be
enough?
Xanthos, I don't have the transceiver with me, I left it in the Fortress. I also can't
get in contact with Theresa, because these EU-transmitters are too weak. So, I
can't call Burn for help, but I will have a look for him. Maybe he will pass by in
his flying vehicle. Who knows?
I'm also very proud of me. See you ...
