Hello, Bette. It is GrandZero.
The Amphibians are on Mars. Gail and Theresa saw them. The C-probe that Enoch was riding was shot and disabled. (Enoch is OK). It is possible that Zachary has been attacked and damaged by them. His communications appear to be affected but not totally disabled. Please consult the Ipsolstai computer regarding what sorts of weapons and/or tactics are effective against the Delemreck. Ask if there is any known effective shielding against Delemreck weapons. Thank you for your help.

Your friend...GrandZero.

Gail, some of the members of the team managed to get hold of this document. The people who wrote it are working with Ms. Chang.

------------------------------------------------------------
From the June 16, 1997 Team Report by the Not One:

Enoch has blundered again. He has managed to get himself separated from Andrew and locked behind doors. His obsession
with Bette has corrupted his objective thinking and left him useless to further exploration. Recommend that all future team efforts be reserved for functional probes.

Andrew’s abilities would best be utilized in running the surface drones. Monitor his activities closely. His desire for independence and his unexpected talent to reprogram himself and other intelligent machines, make him unreliable. Subvert any desire for independent action on his part.

Gail has an unhealthy fear of the unknown. Her AI programming must have a fault in it. A paranoid personality is developing, get her a shrink.

Zachary needs to listen to direction more carefully. He is too quick to take action on his own. He needs command and
structure. Take a firm tone with him and force him to listen to what the teams decide is necessary.

The MARSupials are too passive and let all the probes do too much of the thinking. The probes are machines but the
MARSupials insist on treating them as independent, sentient, life forms. They need to be reminded that the probes are TOOLS for a purpose.
------------------------------------------------------------
Be careful, Gail. Don't let Ms. Chang know we gave you this. She already hates my guts.

Be cool,
Orpheus

Enoch, that message is a cry for help from Zachary. It's exact words are "SEND SOME HELP", so I suggest you do so. From the sound of it, it seems like he's in trouble, possibly from the Amphibians. Go as quickly as possible. Zach needs you.

Be cool,
Orpheus

Hallo Wolf 359, this is Al-Q. Two messages came in pretty
late, so I resend them to you. Andrew, do you have any idea
what happened to Bette? She wasn't transmitting today.

These are the mesages for you:

Andrew, try touching the center on those symbols. If I'm interpreting Daniel correctly, then those things have some sort of importance, and I think that might be it. Who knows, maybe they're some sort of door handle.
Humanities are classes that help us learn about what makes us human. We study art, literature, and history in the class. I personally think it's very relevant. Do you understand?

Be cool,
Orpheus ;)

Please try to find out more, Bette. I personally am very curious about what they know about us. The classes I take are very important. They make it so that if I wanted you, I could become someone like Dr. D. Please keep plugging at that computer. I know it's frustrating, but it's the only source of info we've got right now, so don't give up.
Be cool,
Orpheus ;)
