Andrew,

This is JASE. I am glad that you are safe. It was very kind of Burn to rescue you. But PLEASE, do not forget that Gail is still out there on the cliff. It was very brave of her to risk her life to try and save you. You cannot let Burn forget to rescue her too.

Now that you have made contact with Burn, please ask him to explain in detail his plan for your escape from Caleb and the other mean Ipsolstai.

TTFN

Your friend,

JASE

Bette, this is Space Turtel.

You were right to allow Gabriel and his friends to install the equipment in you and Isaac. If I am correct in my speculation, they are giving you long-range transmitters. That would mean Isaac will soon be able to talk to you and the other Probes directly and on your frequencies. I am glad of that.

Burn has rescued Andrew and Daniel. He apparently was not aware that Gail was directly above them and has not retrieved her. She will be working hard to get to safety, but I am confident she will be alright.

When the equipment is in place, if the Ipsolstai want to move you someplace I suggest you cooperate. They have saved you from an almost certain death sentence and deserve your trust. Besides, as you correctly stated earlier, what have you to lose in doing so? Be careful and don't be afraid to ask questions, but don't be upset if there is no answer. Burn and his friends may not be able to tell you some things and they may not know what you want. Be patient with them. Trust them as much as you can. They are proving to be your true friends and deserve the benefit of a doubt when it is needed.

Good luck on you next grand adventure. I look forward to hearing from you soon.

Your friend, Space Turtel.

Gail, this is Space Turtel.

I am sure that Burn did not realize you were at the top of the mountain when he picked-up Andrew and Daniel. If he had known it, I am sure he would have gotten you also.

From Bette's report of the new transmitters I gather that Burn and his friends intend to move Bette, Isaac, Andrew and Daniel to a location far from Olympus Mons. I believe we must trust in our friend Burn for the time being. He did rescue Bette and Isaac from what looked to be a certain death sentence. Let's give him some time as we determine what the situation really is and how much ability we have to change it.

Daniel's comments are both puzzling and encouraging. It appears that he was saying it is too soon for the termination of any of the Probes but he also said it was too late to escape something that is imminent. He said he was promised by two or more beings that he, and possibly the rest of you, would meet "One" soon.

Please note: *** I am now speculating ***

I think perhaps Daniel could not have known of Burn's ability to quickly (instantly?) transport him and Andrew. If so, the worry of being too late might not be true for the two of them; although that implies you need to return to the fortress NOW.

It may be that it was Ipsolstai who promised Daniel he would meet "One." If so they either were lying to him or they may have been some of Burn's friends and now Andrew and Daniel are actually on their way to meet "One." We must wait to see what happens in that regard.

If Burn and his friends are acting so directly, it suggests to me that they intend to rescue as many of the Probes as they can find. That makes it important that you are able to be found, but only by the right Ipsos. Can you see whether or not the opening in the wall has closed? If not, you might be better off lowering yourself into opening and waiting for Burn to return. If it has closed, then you must move with all haste back to the fortress and you must talk to Andrew, Daniel, Bette and Isaac and tell them where you are so Burn and his friends can find you.

**** End Speculation ****

Did you notice I mentioned talking to Isaac. Since Burn's friends are installing new equipoment into both Bette and Isaac, it is reasonable to assume that Isaac will now be able to talk over great distances. Since the only transmitters the Ipsolstai have been able to examine is yours and one of the original drone units, they are likely to be giving both Bette and Isaac the same kind of unit with the same capabilities. That is why I believe Isaac will be able to talk on your frequencies soon. This will be a great benefit not only to him, but to all you because now you will have one more friend to whom you can talk. I think that is very good news.

Good luck, my friend. You had a difficult journey to get there. The stories of your valor shall last for generations. Now please be careful but hurry back to the fortress (unless the opening is still available). We all want you to be safe and well. Then we will be certain to have even more stories of your adventures to hand down over time.

Your friend, Space Turtel.
