Dear Mr. @David Fox, If we were correctly informed by the plaque here, you are the maintenance responsibile for this monolith. It has been swallowing all our cash! We even tried shaking and tipping it, which usually fixes the broken vending machine back on campus but this ancient technology has been made to withstand Mars’ storms. It won’t budge. Hoping our message in a bottle reaches Earth well and we can make it back there in time for our final exams. Yours sincerely, Melissa China & Leslie Bennett. Mars, March 30th 1997 ---

~ ~ ~ Thank you for taking part in Tasse-Tee’s Dialogue Challenge! ~ ~ ~ This is the moment you’ve all been waiting for: **the results!!** 🏆 Questions 1 to 5 were worth five points each, while the final question was worth ten. That means there were **35 points** that could be awarded altogether. I gave points based on the quality of each of your answers. More points were given to those who gave a correct answer the first time, without a further hint, and for those who used the most accurate wording. All of you have made a fantastic effort! But alas, only one of you can win the title of the Ultimate Zak Expert. So, here we go… In **third place** , with 13 points: @Frenzie ! 🥉 ✨ In **second place** , with 19 points: @Sushi ! 🥈 🎇 And in **first place** … with an impressive **35 out of 35 points** … 🥇 🏆 …is… … … … … …well, I think that’s already clear.
