Hi Daniel,
This is Xanthos. Great you have the little miner robots and super work done, how you've helped the other Probes in their fight. I'm very proud of you Daniel. -- And first of all congratulation to your release from the Ipsolstai. I really can imagine what a great feeling it must be to be free again after a so long time. I really feel happy with you, Daniel and I just want to let you know that. Congratulation. -- By the way, isn't it boring always to stay apart of the other Probes without any chance to join them ?? I could think that that is annoying after a while to have to stay alone all time, but if it doesn't bother you, it's good for me too. I like to know that you feel happy even when apart of having fun with the others. So keep your toys walking ... Good Luck ... see you ... m.f.g. Xanthos

Hi Andrew,
this is Xanthos. Don't panic, my friend. I had the same troubles once at the Equator in Africa, when I was walking to long and unprotected by a hat in the hot sun at noon. My CPU just failed and as I was travelling alone off in nowhere I also started to talk and talk and mixed up terms and by realising that I mixed up terms I really started to mix them up completely. Best to do in such a situation is to calm down and to have a rest. There are others around to tell you what's best to do next and the best is just to smile about the funny thing that is happening to you and to relax. -- Bette is joining Gail and they will triangulate your position to get you out. There is nothing else to do for you than to stay at a convenient place to relax and to enjoy the scenery and to reply exactly what Gail and Bette are asking you to do. Isn't that great ?? At the moment you are free of all your duty. What happens to you must not be your concern. It's the concern of others, in your case of Bette and Gail. What a great feeling. These are very rare moments in live and therefore these moments should be fully enjoyed. But it only works, if you do exactly and promptly what your rescuer are asking you. Therefore keep your sensors tight ... Good Luck, great probe ... and don't worry, you will be fixed soon again ... see you m.f.g. Xanthos

Hi Zachary,
this is Xanthos. Congratulation that you've found a mentor, who is going to teach you about the Ipsolstai. To have the opportunity to be accepted as a student is a high honor and a very successful way to proceed. All of the most successful leaders at Earth still have advisors who teach them even basic items, so these leaders will learn about things they never knew about. Just like you and me, Zachary, who know only very little about the Ipsolstai. Do you know, how this leaders learn best ?? They do it by asking very simple questions. Almost so simple you think, they should know about. But by asking simple questions they learn best to find out, what's best to do next. But they also have another trick to keep learning. They have "youngsters" around them, who themselves are not shy to ask the leader very simple questions. That way the "youngsters" are learning to become leaders themselves, but also the leaders are learning by answering that simple questions, as they have to think about the basics of their doing. -- Therefore I'm very happy, Zachary that you as a very intelligent probe has got the opportunity to be a youngster of Burn. -- What I'm very interested in is to learn about the intentions the Ipsolstai have by being on Mars. Yes, Zachary, I know, they fled from the Amphibians, but how do the Ipsolstai want to proceed ?? Are they waiting on Mars till some other, more friendly entities are defeating the Amphibians at their homeworld ?? Are they preparing to go back, when time is coming for that ?? Did they give up and want to stay sleeping till they naturally expire or do they want to build up a new homeworld on Mars ?? To learn that would be very interesting, so we can learn how to deal with their needs, how we can help them concerning their tasks and how they can help us, simply because we have same tasks in the same direction. -- If you don't mind, I would feel very honored, if I may call you "youngster" as well, as that is a great title of high fortune. ... Keep up your great work, little youngster and all of your sensors tight ... Good Luck ... I like you, great probe ... see you ... m.f.g. Xanthos

Hi Enoch,
this is Xanthos. Enoch, great you've found out how to communicate with Isaac. When you will have brought him to the Fortress, how will you proceed ?? Are you going to lock him in a trap tunnel or can you fix him with a robe or cable or chain somewhere, so you can keep talking to him ?? As Bette has led some drones over, do you have any possibilities to displace his weapons off his chasing, so he can't be danger anymore ?? Enoch, please take care, he still a hostile probe. When moving over to the Fortress, please check your route, if any EU-probes are around, who want to rescue Isaac. When you reach the Fortress I think the best way to enter it is by it's route via the mouth of the side canyon, so Isaac doesn't learn about the hidden passages. But then I think it's urgent to seal off the Fortress by the prepared rockslide, so you don't get any guests, you haven't invited.As far as I can see concerning Andrew, he his CPU has been damaged when the EU-probes shot at him. However, DrD will be back soon and I'm sure he will find a way to fix him and soon you will have him back as good as he has ever been. Do you remember, when you've been searching for Bette in the tunnels ?? You had been a great and successful team, hadn't you ?? Now Bette is looking for him and will pass over to Gail to triangulate his position. It has been her idea and I highly second her serious concerns for Andrew. So I think you've to take Isaac to the Fortress by your own, but I'm sure you can handle that, as you are a very improved intelligent. Keep up your great doing ... be aware of the EU-probes on your way ... keep your sensors tight ... Good Luck with Isaac ... see you, Enoch ... m.f.g. Xanthos

Hi Gail,
this Xanthos. Bette wwill come over to help you to triangulate Andrews position. I told her, if you can't triangulate him by your normal conversation, ask him to give a short signal with his emergency beacon exactly at noon. That way the EU-probes can't use the signal to locate him, but you will as you are prepared to do so. Though I think you can do it by at the usual comm frequency. -- Concerning Andrew I think his CPU got damaged when the EU-probes shot at him. Dr.D will be back soon and I'm sure he will find a way to fix him. Gail, have you seen any EU-probes around ?? I just wonder where they are ?? ... Thanks a lot for re-transmitting the probe star constellation. We lost that image by a temporary black out of our systems and I was missing exactly this one very hard. ... Keep up your good work, Gail and all of your sensors tight ... Good Luck ... see you ... m.f.g. Xanthos

Hi Bette,
this is Xanthos. Great job done to bring the two drones over. Have you seen any EU-probes on your way ?? -- I think, that's a great idea to help Gail searching Andrew. Bette, if you can't triangulate him by your normal conversation, ask him to give a short signal with his emergency beacon exactly at noon. That way the EU-probes can't use the signal to locate him, but you will as you are prepared to do so. Anyway, I think you can do it by at the usual comm frequency. -- Oh, wait a minute. How do you it at all, as all radios are running through the comm platform ?? -- However, you know the best way how to do it and I'm sure you have a lot of training concerning that by playing hide and seek with Dr.D at Earth. ... Keep up your great doing, Bette ... and all your sensors tight ... Good Luck ... see you ... m.f.g. Xanthos
