Re: X82-37R: Waterfallter Return
Jason was feeling a bit the same.
"I know what you mean, Major," he replies. "While we did things, we don't have anything we can carry in our hands that we can hold up and say 'Hey, look what we found!' Sarnak here only kind of fills the bill. If he had some fantastic piece of data that we could show, like the plans for a disintegrator or something... even if it'd take years to build, well, then that would be more positive."
"And no offense, Sarnak, but, frankly, we still don't really trust you. I think that's mostly because we don't understand what happened to you... or how it happened. If you aren't really the guy in the chair, then maybe you're the one that killed the man in the chair. He did have a dagger through his heart."
"It would certainly explain your 'convenient' memory loss."
As he spoke, the rest of the medical team moved past them, pushing all their equipment. He glanced back in the direct of the stargate, then back at the city... and two thoughts suddenly popped into his head.
"Jackie, Kyle... did either of you check the Library to see if there were any maps of this planet? I can't help thinking we're missing something. While I can understand the Goa'uld not bothering to destroy this city once the ship's had all left, but wouldn't they have looted the technology?"
"For that matter, Crom only told us about these 'ruins'... to the Otter-folk, they probably couldn't make the distinction between an abandoned city and ruins."
"But... and this is my point... Do the Otter-folk or Crom know of any other places? I mean, as hard as it is to accept Crom as this benevolent... druid-like being that is watching out for the Otter-folk, does he really not look around the region? Not look for technology or remnants of such?"
