Hi Zachary,
this is Xanthos. Sorry, I haven't sent you a message yesterday. Concerning this funny device, I thought it had been a fountain. I thought that you was talking about the Ipsolstai on Mars, but you didn't, you have talked about the Ipsolstai at Titan. That makes this device even more interesting. How about these domes ?? Are they leading to a base under surface ?? Did you have to pass airlocks and have seen metal/non metals ?? About your trip through the Groove, I've seen a movie yesterday about a woman, who went through a Groove to reach Vega Star-system about 26.000 light years off Earth. That had been great and dramatic as well. Did you feel these vibrations also ?? She had to pass several crossings in the Groove System. So she stopped for a moment and then she went on into the next Groove. Had you a direct line ?? I'm very nosy to learn about that. Hopefully my transmission is not too late, so you will get it in time. Other wise, I will re-post it tomorrow to have it for sure in my next outbound. There are so many other questions I have ... I'm looking forward to your reports ... be patient with Isaac ... see you ... m.f.g. Xanthos

Hi Bette,
this is Xanthos. I like the way you are dealing with Isaac. He is cute, isn't he ?? Nice story you are telling him. I have seen the eruption of Dantes Peak. Wow, that had been a blast. I've never seen anything like that before. Good to know, that Olympus Mons is not active. However, his summit is more than 400 km away of your location and he is a shield volcano, that means he has thin lava, so he wouldn't explode like Mount St. Helens for instance. Has Jose told you about this mountain too ?? On the other hand, looking at the caldera of Olympus Mons that is a huge one a 150 km in its length and about 80 km broad. That is much more than the whole diameter of Dantes Peak or Mount St. Helens. But this caldera hadn't been formed by solely one eruption. Anyway, I would like to be on top of Olympus Mons, when he is active. Oops, don't worry, there is seismic activity up there. Keep on your great doing ... see you ... m.f.g. Xanthos

In Love, are we? Or admiration?

Hello Enoch,
This is Ratboy. This may seem a bit strange to you. But, this time, I need your advise.
The actions Parker and Harden have taken against my freinds on Mars has activated an instinct most humans posess yet suppress. That is, to defend each individuall within their social circle as if their very own life was in jeopardy. The disrespect Parker and Harden showed by demanding, from their intended victims, a status report of the battle of Andrew. I became very angry and suggested, to my fellow MARSupials, that the following terms be delivered at once. What would you have done?
"Dear Parker & Harden,
Efforts to use force against us have once again failed. We have extended to you
an opportunity to share in the exploration of Mars, benefiting from
it's resources, through mutual cooperation.
If you decide to ignore the terms of our offer and continue with
your aggressive behavior, the following actions will be taken.
1: Our offers of peaceful cooperation with you and your company
will be withdrawn.
2: All your requests for information will be ignored and further
communications will cease.
3: Any unannounced arrivals to Mars, sent by your firm, will be
perceived as hostile and will be subjected to the same action we have
demonstrated in past encounters.
4:A state of war will be declared and we will no longer discourage
the actions suggested by independent Earth allies who see you as a
threat requiring elimination with extreme prejudice.
You have been granted one more chance to cooperate. I strongly suggest you take it!
We await your capitulation."
I would really like your oppinion. Does this sound like the same impulsive action, to inflict damage, that Gail may have felt when she attacked and killed the Probe, who was desicrating Andrew's remains? In Gails defense, I think she demonstrated that basic human instinct to protect ones own. Was she wrong? Am I?
