So did Gavin, I think.

I believed that scene was already over and that we'd skip to the next brifing soon after that. Now I can only wait ;) Carry on.

Whew! Hopefully this coming week will be slower.

Yeah, I figgered something like that.

Truth be told, I was a little surprised when you said that Asgard all run around naked. I had always assumed that they wore a super-high-tech skin suit that simply mimiced their skin tone; kinda like the black skin suit Vassandra wears. It would not only provide environmental protection and comfort, but probably had other built in nano-goodies.

Hopefully we'll find out soon. I don't think there's any "resistance" to this stuff -- the slime ate just about ANYTHING that was soft; we even suspect that it could eat its way through silicon gaskets, eventually.

I'm alive again!  Sort of...

That's good news! Somedays I wonder about myself, too!

Kung Fury is out. I have to say, Barbarianna and Katana are basically how I imagine Hilda. :D

I look forward to having some time to check it out

Okay my fellow X2U-238'ers, Kaspars hunch is...

We've ID'd the metal discs as "religious medals" that are often worn by Free Jaffa wannabees -- that is, Jaffa who are doing their own free-thinking, while still serving a Goa'uld master.

Kaspar is thinking that, if at some future time the Team gets caught by those Jaffa outside (c'mon! You know it'll happen ^_^), then maybe, just maybe, some still alive "free" Jaffa among them will see the tokens, and maybe think that we can help him/her to be free, if s/he helps us.  Just a little "capture" insurance, right?

  or they'll just think you robbed the corpses of their free Jaffa buddies and will be extra happy to 'help' us...(join their free Jaffa departed souls)  :P

Damn!  You figured out my Evil Plot! ^_^

I don't know why the non-religious free Jaffa should wear religious symbols. I think they'd more likely wear a non-religious coded symbol of affiliation.

I'd say that loyalist Jaffa might also recognise us as being in league with the rebel Jaffa, and shoot us on sight, but that's already a given.

BTW, the power supply in my computer seems to have failed, so I may be slower posting for a while. And I'm away from my PDFs. (Resolved)

I'm thinking that it might be a kinda "hide in plain sight" thing.  I mean, how many times a day do you see someone with an oval "medallion" around their neck? Do you immediately think "Oh, that person is wearing a St Christopher Medal, they must be Roman Catholic."  In my own, personal, case, you would be wrong -- while I do wear a St Christopher medal, I have not been a (practicing) Roman Catholic in over 30 years.

And even then, St. Chris medals tend to be worn by all flavors of Catholic, not just the stick-up-the-bum Romans.  I've even known a few Protestants to wear'em.

So, my point is, that while a Jaffa wearing "religious" paraphernalia that isn't focused on their Goa'uld God probably is a no-no, it's probably such a minor infraction that it tends to get overlooked...until you really screw up, then it's added to your list of crimes ^_^

I am very sorry for my disappearances lately, everyone.  We have two computers in our house, and they're both dying slow deaths.  We're trying to save up for a new one, but I don't know when that will be.  Until then, I spend very little time on the internet, but I'll do the best I can.

Thank you for reminding me, StarMaster.

No problem. Players always wind up with RL problems, dead computers being a particular nasty one.

Hello people of SG-X, I am taking over for Dillion, and will post hopefully sometime tonight.  I have to "catch" up on all that has been posted, just wanted to say hello and ask how everyone is :)

Hello, new Dillon.

Kyle's about to step in it, though... :-p

Does this mean I get to be heroic and save his wandering self?

As as stated in the OOC in my post, if I screwed something up, please do let me know.

I am? Eeeek...

My computer just gave up the ghost today. The screen stopped displaying anything, though it's lit up, so I'm figuring it's either the  monitor that somehow burnt out or else the videocard went out. Or maybe the hamster died.

Anyway, I can use my friend's computer on a more sporadic basis until I can get mine fixed or replaced.

Anyway, I'm still around; I just may not be able to stay on top of things all that quickly.

Ouch. I've had to deal with both of those problems on my parent's machines. Good luck sorting it out.

Kylie has +6 in first aid training and a first aid kit in her pack.

Need to form a plan!!!

Come on SG-X2, lets put our heads together and work this out!

In reply to Joshua Dillon (msg # 718):

Working on it.

Well... how is everyone?
