Re: Return to X8T-121: Aerielle
SG-X4/X5
SG-X5 continues to stay on alert. Although they've driven off the Raptors, more than the Avians have ever seen before, you still don't know anything about their habits. Probably classified as semi-intelligent (akin to dogs or chimpanzees maybe), they may have fallen back just to regroup and try again.
The cultural anthropologists on the team are asking the Avians about them, but the Avians know little more than what the team has observed. The Avians are grateful for the assist, but also a bit disappointed that they did not get in on the action. There was some, as a Raptor was hit in the wing and crashed somewhere in the village; the nearby watching Avians made short work of it, killing it to 'put it out of its misery'. They merely perceived it as injured, and, as such, killed it so that it would not suffer. Apparently, that is not something the Raptors would do.
The number of Raptors that showed up have caused some fear among the Avians; had the Tau'ri not been there, the Avians would have been exterminated. That, at any rate, is their belief. They are now concerned about the next attack, particularly if the Tau'ri aren't around.
While SG-X5 continues to wait, SG-X4 is able to finish their climb back up to the top.
There is still no communication with SG-X3. Considering that they are deep inside the mountain, that is not particularly worrisome, just... inconvenient.
Given the description of the place, Eric and Michael have a reasonable expectation of being able to enter the Undermountain and use the elevator to reach the various levels. But, with 600+ levels, it could be a bit difficult to determine just which level SG-X3 was on.
