Al-Q, Zachary passed me one of Daniel's rocktalk files over that passed the
static undamaged.. I decompressed it. It's a pretty long file, but I can read it.
Daniel used standard parameters for the database, as they were set up by DrD.

I'm now checking how Daniel standardized and scaled the criteria of the rock
piles. The Rocktalk system is easy. Seven different sizes of rocks that can have
five different kind of shapes forms pattern up to 43 rocks that gives according
to the position and orientation of each rock to the spur stone the meaning of the
word, while position and orientation of the spur stone to the initial pile is mainly
responsible for the grammatical context.

"Daniel, how much time did you spend with the Amphibians that you got that
rocktalk set so properly. Daniel, that's a super done database."

The Amphibian is watching me from a distance, while I'm checking its rock piles.

Hey, wait a moment. The piles set by the Amphibian are following the same
hierarchy as Daniel's file. Looks like this patterns are a training program.

I'm set. No wonder, Daniel solved that puzzle already. Let's move to question
that Amphibian to find out what it knows to say.

Okay, I set one pile with two rocks size 1 shape 2 plus four rocks size 3
shape 1 as pattern 8 according formula 8.1.3.4.2.1.2.6 - The phib replied by
setting formula 7.2.4.5.3.3.3.8 and formula 15.4.4.3.1.2.4.7.

The formula system is easy. It just tells about total quantity, numbers, size and
shape of each rock and the pattern of each pile. If you know the formula, you
don't need the rocks anymore.

Oops, sorry. The meaning. Here you are. I was piling:

"What's next?"

While the Amphibian replied with two piles saying:

"You call me Spur!"

Wait a moment. I send you an image.


May I kindly introduce to you, Spur, the Amphibian in front of his name pile.

"Daniel, do you know something about an Amphibian that is called Spur?"

Zachary is so sensitive concerning the Chinese probes. Good that we met
that scrape of a worrier, so we found some lubricant for Theresa's leg.

"Theresa, let's be extra nice to Zachary today, and let's cheer him up and hug
and so on. You also will learn soon that Probes needs that once in a while.
Miss Chang told me that."

Miss Chang said that women never walk unarmed.
It's fun to be instructed by her.

"Hi Zachary!"

Oh! ... It's not so easy as I thought.

... ...

No, that's not true. Do you know what? Zachary took Theresa with him and
left me behind. I mean, he left ME behind. ...Who does he think that I am?

"Miss Chang! Miss Chang, can you hear me?

"Yes, my dear. What happened?
I'm just busy, but no problem, that can wait.
What way can I help you?"

"Miss Chang, I've to tell something ...!"

I was still with Elder Brothers, when Gail and Theresa arrived. I asked them
to remain quiet. It's too sad. I picked up Theresa and left Gail behind. The
vehicle gives only space for two Probes.

Al-Q, I passed Daniel's file to Enoch.

We went down the big wall. The vehicle is pretty quick. The holes are already
set. Also, Elder Brother has installed an excellent working navigation system.
What a pain, what a loss.

Sorry, I'm not in the mood to keep on reporting. Also Probes may have emotions.

Hey, what's that?

... (static) ...

"Bette, I received something like static noise. I send it over. It sounds similar to
that static noise, we also found at your Outbound files all the time lately. What
do you think? Does it sound familiar to you ?"

.... (static) ...

The slope was quickly passed. The vehicle went down in full speed, as it did it the
first time. I shut off the video, when we passed Gen. I don't need that impression
a second time.

We passed Sojourner and went under water. Theresa likes the living cloth. Soon
we will meet Enoch again.
