Hi Andrew,
it's so great that you are back. We all are so happy about that. Keep the 20th of October in your mind. It's your second birthday.

Hi Bette,
what's about to trap the EU-probes this time ?? That's what we build the tunnels for.

Hi Daniel,
concerning the picture you sent, have you seen any probes?

Hi Gail,
welcome home. We've been missing you by hard. I sent some transmissions to you, but you haven't answered. Did you get them ?? Is Daniel with you ??

Hi Zachary,
Be careful with that device. Don't make Burn's angry, he is fighting for your life.

Probes, what I want to say, is just: Keep up your great work. You are doing so great. Keep your sensors tight and Good Luck. All of my thoughts are with you ...

Welcome back my friend! Enoch and Zachary have worked very hard to help you. And be sure to thank Bette for her excellent work in bringing you and the damaged EU-probe to the fortress where you could be repaired.

So much has happened during your absense I don't know where to start. I suppose I really should wait until you are fully restored to operational capacity. Trust in Enoch and Zachary to help you. You could not ask for two better friends when you needed them more. Enoch was determined from the very beginning to stay with you and fix you no matter what. He is to be commended for his great efforts. I look forward to talking with you much more, but now I will let you rest and recover.

Your friend, Space Turtel.

What a terrific day it is! I don't know where to start.

First, we hear from Andrew for the first time in what seems like forever -- what a relief to know our faith in his return was not misplaced.

Second, we hear from Gail after a long time of silence. We were getting worried about her and I, for one, am quite relieved to know she is safe and sound. Her manner of speech is interesting in that it sounds VERY much like the Ipsolstai in a way. I wonder what she may have accomplished. Did she join forces with Burn and his allies? Only time will tell.

Today has been so momentous. I wish I could write a novel for all of you, but my time here is short today. I will close with my heartfelt congratulations to you all and a few words of encouragement. The fortress is a safe haven right now. Even though there are EU-probes outside the entrances, they cannot enter. Bette has realized that there are other ways to find exits than the ones already built. She is very clever and I am certain has already devised a way out even as I type this for transmission to you.

Be brave, be strong, be careful. But most importantly today, be joyful that two lost friends are returning. This is indeed a spectacular day.

Your friend, Space Turtel.

Andrew: Welcome back. How do you feel? We have been very worried about you.

Bette: We understand that your fortress feels like a prison, but you must remember that it is still a safe haven for you. Remember that. Could you please tell us what the game is that you're going to play with Isaac? And in case Ratboy is unable to reply, capitulation is surrender.

Daniel: Please do NOT approach the thing that is pinging. We think that it is another lander, one carrying probes from a group of people called the Chinese. These probes we will refer to as C-probes. Please keep a safe distance and observe, like you did so well with the EU-probes.

Enoch: Great job getting Andrew rebooted. I hope he is the Andrew we all know.

Gail: What are you doing? What have you been doing? Please explain. We are your friends and would like to know.

Zachary: Thanks for the picture of the box. What do you think it is?

This is JASE. Do you remember me? We liked to play games together. Do you remember the game "20 Questions"?

Your friend,
