The biochemical research in this facility was very interesting.

"I guess this facility is talking to you two this time, instead of me," Travis said to Kyle and Carter.

"I guess that means there are no Sha'Kri trapped in the machines here. Of course, this wasn't a mind-launching facility."

"Have you found any of the chemical or whatever it was still here? Have you found any records that indicate it was tested or used on any Goa'uld? Have you found the formula or process?"

I guess talking is a word that works. Computers aren’t all that much different. Just need the language of the people and math.

Coleman and Jason have no trouble returning to the research facility via the rapid transit system.

Nothing has changed, and they don't spot anything of more than general interest.

Re: X82-37R: Waterfallter Return

Coleman hops out and head back to where the scientists are doing their thing.

"Here's those 'artifacts' you requested, Carter." Coleman says, handing the knick-nacks over.

"I think you would've enjoyed the city, Fox; nature has largely encroached on it so it has kind of a peaceful feel.

How close are you two to being ready to go? I think whatever data you get here is all we're going to get out of this place for now, so if you're on to something good then we should get it, but if it seems like mostly just curiosities... like those 'collectibles', then we can let SGC decide whether to try to collect all the data or not."

Kyle gave a rueful grin.

"This civilisation is a bit technologically advanced for me. They also seem quite prosaic, businesslike."

Re: X82-37R: Waterfallter Return

"Well, that's what we're looking for," Jason adds. "The question is whether we can use any of it. Frankly, it doesn't sound like it did the Sha'kri any good... well, other than to let them escape."

"Even if we could harness their telepathy equipment, there's no way the entire Earth would or could evacuate. I suspect their telepathy let them be more... civilized. I'm having nightmares just trying to think of the problems evacuating Earth would cause."

"On the plus side, they did have starships. Not sure how much telepathy was used for normal ships."

"And, they may have found a... poison? Virus? ...that can stop the Goa'uld. Sadly, we're talking about genocide, but it's not like there's an alternative."

"So, what do you want to do now, boss? We're not really equipped or trained to explore the whole planet. We've found what we can from this place, right? Time to go explore another planet!"

"Yeah, we should head home and get our next orders. This planet may be promising, but you're right about us not being the right team, at least right now, to try to explore the whole thing."

Well, first we aren’t a large enough team. A Company would probably be more re accurately needed for this. Part Military and probably mostly civilian tech experts.

"Well, sounds like we're in agreement, then. Let's pack up and move out." Coleman assists with anything that needs packing, then leads the way back out and back to the gate. Once again he chats up the locals as a sort of friendly distraction while McGuinness dials out.

"Thinkin' the same thing," agreed Jason. "An army of geeks! And it'd still take them years to cover the whole planet."

"Besides, they got Sarnak's brain to pick... however faded or scrambled it is."

Re: X82-37R: Waterfallter Return

The team has no problem returning to the gate. There's another team dealing with Crom and the Cromar, so after checking in with them, you dial the gate, get clearance, and step through the gate back to Stargate Command.

General Hammond greets you, asks how the mission went, and expects a full report in two hours.

[OOC: The game was set up with the idea that the teams could have down time at SGC, or even off-base.

So,, my question is: do you want to do that? I'm okay with it. Or, we can fast forward to the next mission.]

Kyle gathered all his notes and was ready to return. He still enjoyed going through the Stargate, that never got old.




OOC: How about downtime over Christmas and a new mission in the New Year?

Re: X82-37R: Waterfallter Return

OOC: I like the idea of downtime over Christmas; IRL it is a hectic time of year, and IC (assuming it is also Christmas time IC), it is often a very desirable time to get leave during that time. I'll have to consider what Coleman does in his downtime, though. :D

Re: X82-37R: Waterfallter Return

Sounds like a plan to me!

Somebody post in the SGC threads to get this started.

Keep in mind, that we've just entered the Twelve Days of Christmas, and with New Year's Day a week later, that time is going to pass far more quickly than you think!

Re: X82-37R: Waterfallter Return

Ha-ha! You tell 'em, Carter!


So we'll do downtime until January 2, when we'll go through the gate on a new adventure!

If anyone has any ideas on what kind of adventure or world you'd like to go to next, speak up!

I have lots of ideas myself, but I want to make sure you get something you want.

According to the character sheet, Kyle is still 1st level. He should be 2nd level by now.

In addition, everyone gains another level since the mission is now complete. So, when we start the next mission in January, everyone in SGX-2 should be 3rd level.

Re: X82-37R: Waterfallter Return

Noted. I am on leave from the close today so I shall update the character sheet.

I'd like to meet a live civilisation I can talk to, if that's feasible, please.

Re: X82-37R: Waterfallter Return

Coleman, relieved to get some leave, heads out to get some R&R. He considers, briefly, visiting one of his ex-wives' families, but thinks better of it. Instead he decides to go skiing for a bit, then head to his family's Christmas gathering. He can be the crazy uncle always interjecting politics into everywhere they don't belong and making holiday dinner suitably uncomfortable for everyone. Exiting. Also he can play some catch with his nephews and have a couple beers with his siblings.

OOC: I will try to get my character updated too. I'll have to look up how that all works, though. ;)

Just waiting for all of you to say you're ready to continue and you've update your characters to 3rd level!


If you need any help updating your character, just let me know.

Re: X82-37R: Waterfallter Return

Just did mine. There's not much to it. Skill points, Special Abilities, Saving Throws, Vitality. Maybe Resource and Gear Picks.

As a Soldier, he's got all his equipment provided already.

Re: X82-37R: Waterfallter Return

Coleman returns from his trip refreshed and ready to take on another world!

OOC: forgot to post until now, but I'm updated and ready :) Coleman does have some equipment picks to do, but they are per-mission picks, so once he knows the nature of the mission, he can pick up his bundles. :)
