How to learn English? (30/30 Challenge)

Hi Heike

Hello everyone,

I'm on a business trip this week and the week after, so I rarely can join the forum. But this are my freshest informations about the story:

Being ashonished about the fossil in the rock, Rachel could not say a word. Now she understands the high importance by Herney on the discovery. It's not only an organism like bacteria or cells of biomass, it's an animal! That discovery will change history.

She is introduced to paleontologist Willi Ming (?). The tall asian man is another civilian recruit of the President. Ming explains that the fossil is not a bug but a lous because it has 7 pairs of legs. A big surprise is that it fits in Darvinian qualification. It is similar to species on earth! When Ming tells her that there are more fossils in the rock, Rachel is chocked. The men had put a x-ray camera down on the rock. And found so many species that they call it a nest. There they also found "Mommy", a very big lous, two feet long. When Rachel wonders why they are so big but similar, Ming explains the context of different gravity on earth and in space. In the end they think of the theory that live could be seated here on earth from a foreign planet thousands of years ago. Up to this moment Rachel doesn't know what will be her part.

Yours Vivien

Hello everyone,

This is my latest information about the story:

In the Ice Dome, Rachel is introduced to Nora Mangor (?), the fourth civilian. Being a specialist of arctic and ice, Mangor had found out easily when the meteorite had landet on earth. Mangor has the idea to get the rock out of the ice. Seeing no heavy machinery, Rachel wonders how she wants to realise it. Mangor wants to use x-ray power to get the ice smelting away. It works and the rock reaches the surface.
Preparing for the TV documentry the scientists collect at the broadcasting area, the only alighted place in the Ice Dome. Ekstrom the administrator of NASA leads Rachel to a special, safe room. There, an assistant is preparing a closed line to the President. Being alone in the room, Rachel suddenly sees Herney on the screen. Herney asks for her impressions of the discovery. Coming to the point, Herney asks her for a job to do. He wants her to inform his staff about the discovery. Rachel first thinks being used. She doesn't want go public and be an instrument of politics which harms her father. Herney only wants her to inform his staff, he repeats and Rachel understands. When she asks for her preparation time, the screen switches. Herney is no longer on the screen but his whole staff in the Oval Office.

In the meantime Gabrielle Ash and Sexton are sitting in the senator's car. Sexton receives a call on his private line. Gabrielle wonders who this could be. A new affair? Only very few people besinde Gabrielle have this number. Very unusual Sexton makes an appointment with the caller in his private apartment in DC. After the call Gabrielle asks him to notice that appointment in his calendary. But it is no need to. The appointment is already noticed by two letters: p e. Gabrielle doesn't know what it stands for. Perhaps "private evening" or "piss off everyone" (sorry! ).

At the same time scientists Delta One, Two and Three stand beside the hole and look at the water. In total surprise, they see something strange on the surface...

Have a nice weekend

Hey Amy,

Thanks for the last correction. Reagarding your question in my last text: I meant the word snoop. I meant that Hale had snoop in the commanders account, this mean he had to creep about investigation secretly. Sorry for my mistake.

The story goes on: Susan Fletcher had configure her tracer again and now she became a information from the. She read the message and she was shocked(?), if on the monitor appeared a unthinkable email-adress:NDAKOTA=ET@DOSHISHA.EDU. ET stood for Ensei Tankado, this means North Dakota and Ensei Tankado is the same person. North Dakota didn?t exist. The whole story was a fake. Now the story was clear. Susan remembered her first reaction when Strathmore told her about the unbreakable algorithm. She had sworn ist was impossible. He had ask him what proof did he actually had, that Tankado had really created Digital Fortress. It was only a lot of hype in his e-mail and the translater, the computer had been locked in a endless loop for twenty hours. The only explanation for this was a virus. But how came a virus in the translater. The answer was "Strathmore bypassed Gauntlet. "At this passage I must explain Gauntlet, this is a seies of powerful circuit level gateways, packet filters and disinfectant programs that scanned inbound files for computer viruses. When the files was unknown Gauntlet rejected this. Only Gauntlet confirmation that the file was clean Sys-Secs bypassed Gauntlets filters and send the file into Tanslater." In this case Strathmore had downloaded Tankados Digital Fortres file and tried to send it into the Translater. But Gauntlet had rejected the file because it contained dangerous mutation strings. Normally Strathmore concerned, but he had seen Tankados e-mail and he was convince Digital Fortress was safe to load. Digital Fortress was a trick and the NSA was taken in.

Hello Amy,

Back from my business trip, I finally can go on with the story:

Being hat his work area, aside from the others in the dark, paleontologist Ming feels a vibration. Something is shocking the ice, he thinks. Being used to earth quakes in california, Ming is alamed. He decides to have a look down the water in the ice hole. There was something strange. First he thinks about an optical illusion. Instead of calling the other scientists in the Ice Dome, Ming decides to stay alone, to have his own discovery. He lays down on the ice, trying to reach the surface of the water.

At the same time Delta One, Two and Three watch the scene by the little cameras above. They have to react now! They decide to improvise.

Only little space devides Ming`s fingers from the surface. In this moment, something hits his eye. Because of his reflexes, he grabbes his eyes and looses control of his body. No longer he can held his body out of the water. He falls down the hole. It is cold as ice. He tries to get out but he can't get grip on the icy wall. His clothes, heavy because full of water, pull him down. He cries for help, but noone hears him. Under the surface of the water, Ming can not stand any longer against his reflex to breathe. He opens his mouth and inhaled. Ming dies painful and his body sinks into the deep, cold and dark water.

In the meantime Rachel sits in front of the monitor. The whole staff of the President is watching her. Being very nervous Rachel stammers a few sentences. She tries to cool down. But she is sweating and does not know how to get out of this situation. She stops for a moment and remembers her mom. She told her long before, to speak it out straight, when you don't know how to explain the problem. Rachel takes a deep breath and starts to explain her situation. The staff understands her panik and gives her a smile. Then Rachel gets her body and voice under control and informs the staff.

Hi Vivien

You must have been quite busy on your business trip. It's great to see you back in the forum and posting again.

Here are my suggestions for your report:

Hello everyone,

The story goes on:

Gabrielle Ash enters the White House and wonders whom (?) she would meet. A guide is leading her through the building. They enter the Map Room. Gabrielle is very impressed and exited. The guide knocks a door in the west wing of the White House. Inside it is dark and the air is full of smoke. Marjorie Tench welcomes Gabrielle, who is shocked. She realises it was Tench, who has written the mails containing information about NASA. The women discuss about privatisation of the agency, the advantages and disadvantages. Tench is concerned Sexton would give NASA in private hands, if he is elected. She reaches Gabrielle an envelope. Inside should be data about Sexton's high expenses on TV-advertising. Sexton can not own all this money. So Tench accuses him to have it from illegal business. She orders Gabrielle to decide to stand behind Sexton and go to jail or to work together with Thench.

At the same time in the Ice Dome Mike, Rachel, Corky Marlinson, Nora and the administrator discuss about the luminescence planktum. Nora denies a failing in her data. "There is no crack in the ice!" To prove out, the administrator decides that four of them should dive into the water. All five are wondering where Dr. Ming is.

Hi Vivien

Here are my suggestions for your latest report:

[Lissy]

Hello,

I?m back from holidays. I was in Italy and it was very nice.

Ok, back to the story "Digital Fortress".

David Becker is in Sevillia and he is looking for the ring. He found the punk girl and she gave him the ring. David didn?t realized that someone chased him. A man with wire-glasses his name is Hulohot is followed him and he want to kill him. Becker escaped with a vespa in a other spanish district, but Hulohot found him but Becker escaped in a cathedral. At this time in toke place conformation in the cathedral and Hulohot is waiting for back in front of the curch. He thought he detect him, because Becker is once person without black clothers. While the conformation is going on Becker bought a black jacket from a man in the church. If the crowd left the cathedral Hulohot killed the wrong man. He realized that Becker was still in the church. He went in the church and the conformation was going on (Can I also say the conformation continue regardless on??.
Ok this was my report today.
At last on question: Can i say I have spoken with someone or is this wrong?

Hello Amy,

You are right. Rachel, Corky, Nora and Mike are not going to dive. They leave the Ice Dome to get new data from the outside ice. Their way was very hard because of the stormy weather.
Finally they reach the position to get the facts; if there is a shaft in the ice or not. Nora prepares her instruments. She only wants to work with Mike. After seeing the printout she is shocked. The paper shows a whole from the place the rock was found down to the water under the ice shelf. That could mean that someone placed the rock there to trick them! The rock is not untouched!

A few feet away from the discovery-group Delta One, Two and Three are watching the scene. They notice that the civilian found out and try to stop them.

On their way back to the Ice Dome, Rachel sees Nora and Corky falling on their back suddenly. Then some litte bullets hit Rachel and Mike, too. Both can kneel down and try to escape the bullets. First they think about a hailstorm because the bullets are made from ice. But they are so perfect they must be made by men. Rachel and Corky realise that someone fights them. They watch three men arriving at Nora and Corky, who are unconscious. One of them puts Noras neck full of ice. She`s going to die because she cannot inhale. Rachel and Mike are shocked. Rachel wants Mike and her to run away to safe their lifes...

In the meantime Marjory Tench and Gabrielle Ash are having their meeting. They discuss the illigal working of senator Sexton. Gabrielle does not believe Marjory?s words. She thinks it is a bluff to make her act for Tench. Finally Tench shows her the content of the envelope. Gabrielle is shocked when she sees the photos of her and Sexton both naked in his office when they slept together. Marjory Tench wants her to blame Sexton by telling about their affair in a press statement and make clear that Sexton is a lyer. Gabrielle turns and runs out of the office. She wants to leave the White House immediately...

Yours
