Hello, Andrew. It is GrandZero.
It is good that you were able to complete the puzzle. You have once again demonstrated your nature and abilities to the Ipsolstai.Now you are embarking on a great adventure. Be sure to be diplomatic with anyone you meet and not become frustrated with communication difficulties. Report as much as you can of what you encounter so that we can learn along with you. I will try and keep you updated with the situation on Mars.
Your friend...GrandZero

Hello, Gail. It is GrandZero.
You are doing very well in your preparations. We need a little information about the battle between the C-probes and the Ipsolstai. Was the tram damaged? Was it hit? Did it fire weapons? If so, were the weapons effective against the C-probes? We were think that Enoch might be able to use the Big Tram's weapons to defend against either the C-probes, the Ipsolstai, or the Amphibians. Talk to Enoch about as well.Thanks for all your good work, clever and resourceful probe.

Hello, Enoch. It is GrandZero.
I hope that you are able to escape safely. Zachary is trapped in a room at the top of the big hall. Don't I remember from somewhere that the Big Tram has weapons aboard? And wasn't it fairly impervious to weapons? What do you think about these weapons? Is there a way to use them to either rescue Zachary or to at least battle the C-probes. Gail witnessed a battle between C-probes and Ipsolstai in a tram. She might have some information about this. Why don't you talk to her about it.Your friend...GrandZero

Hello, Bette. It is GrandZero.
I assume that the planet to which you are headed is the one which appeared in you image a couple days ago. That planet looks very much like Earth. It is obviously not Earth, but very similar. The Ipsolstai once said that they were looking for a planet similar to Earth. It will be interesting to see if there are Ipsolstai inhabiting the planet. If you do encounter new Ipsolstai, please remember to be nice and courteous and patient with the communication difficulties. Try and keep Isaac with you at all times so that he doesn't get into trouble again. All this being said, do some exploring if you can. We would love to hear all about this new planet.

Hello, Zachary. It is GrandZero.
We are not exactly certain of your situation. If Enoch were to some remove or open the door, do you think you could escape? Do you think there are guards at the door? We did not receive any of the communication between the C-robots that you sent us. Can you interpret what they are saying? Did it have anything to do with why they detained you? Be patient and do not worry too much. Remember that worrying is not constructive. Instead, use your time and energy to work on possible ways of escape.
Remember also that when someone gets shut in room someone always eventually comes back to get them. They would not put you in there if they just wanted to kill you. If they just wanted to kill you, they could have put you in one of the presses or melting vats.
Be patient and vigilant and observant, brave and resourceful probe.
Your friend...GrandZero.

Hello, Daniel. It is GrandZero.
The One advised "flee and fly."
What would you estimate to be the best way for the Probes on Mars to flee? Should the somehow use the "switch" that Bette and Isaac found in the tunnel? Should they go back to the groove anchor you showed to Zachary and try to escape through the groove? Should they barricade themselves in the fortress?From your experience and contact with the One, what would you advise?
Your friend...GrandZero.
