Zoya, You definitely get the impression that they don't want you to do... something. It's not coming across very clear, apparently, apart from a local dialect, there is also a heavy accent on the words. Making it almost incomprehensible. At least until you get a better understanding of their root words. You obviously have Stop/Halt and Do Not, covered. You will catch a word or two that just seems out of place here... A word meaning associate/comrade/friend.

Murphy is to busy setting up the machinegun. It was him you were supposed to go with, but he's obviously preoccupied. You start out towards the locals...

The pipes and such are also rusted. Some to the point of having holes in them. Some of the pipes are big enough you could easily crawl through them with a full kit.

And though the vehicles you see are mostly held together by rust, the tires seem to have survived the disuse. -- Stargate Command _______________________________________________ SG21 mailing list SG21 at travellercentral.com http://lists.travellercentral.com/mailman/listinfo/sg21 From brandon at travellercentral.com Sat May 5 19:15:40 2007 From: brandon at travellercentral.com (Brandon Carroll) Date: Sat, 5 May 2007 18:15:40 -0700 Subject: [SG21] Hi Hooooo!

Zoya, You definitely get the impression that they don't want you to do... something. It's not coming across very clear, apparently, apart from a local dialect, there is also a heavy accent on the words. Making it almost incomprehensible. At least until you get a better understanding of their root words. You obviously have Stop/Halt and Do Not, covered. You will catch a word or two that just seems out of place here... A word meaning associate/comrade/friend.

They set apart in a quarter radial pattern. There is a tremendous flash/ripple of light... And a deafening clap of thunder And the distinct smell of ozone... and burnt hair. ... -- Stargate Command _______________________________________________ SG21 mailing list SG21 at travellercentral.com http://lists.travellercentral.com/mailman/listinfo/sg21 From sgc at xipcodes.com Mon May 28 21:32:48 2007 From: sgc at xipcodes.com (Stargate Command) Date: Mon, 28 May 2007 20:32:48 -0700 Subject: [SG21] Bumpy Ride Message-ID: <465B9EE0.6090901@xipcodes.com> The last thing any of you remember is feeling like you had just been hit by a defibrillator. Wolf is the second to wake up. Sula is already awake. She is sitting upright with her back to a wall. She is bound hands behind her back and again at her ankles. Wolfe and the rest are similarly bound. The floor is wood construction and there is a layer of straw spread out on the floor. The roof is a little over 2 meters high. The room is about 2.8 meters wide and just over 17 meters long. The entire room is bouncing noisily and roughly and you seem to have some directional momentum. Your senses tell you it's down. Rose wakes next, Then Brandon. After that Brubaker and Voorhis will awaken. Murphy will be last to awaken. You also hear a loud growling noise coming from the downhill end of the room. There also seems to be a lot of metallic rattling noises coming from the uphill end of your room and more from the downhill end. -- Stargate Command _______________________________________________ SG21 mailing list SG21 at travellercentral.com http://lists.travellercentral.com/mailman/listinfo/sg21 From wolfe at travellercentral.com Tue May 29 17:58:10 2007 From: wolfe at travellercentral.com (Capt Wolfe) Date: Tue, 29 May 2007 17:58:10 -0600 Subject: [SG21] Encounters In-Reply-To: <4658BFDB.2070500@xipcodes.com> References: <46533ECC.4010507@xipcodes.com> <465344C1.6050502@websuz.com> <4653A014.8080801@xipcodes.com> <4658BFDB.2070500@xipcodes.com> Message-ID: <2C0B2EF3-6EA7-48AD-BCE5-3B3B063717CD@travellercentral.com> On May 26, 2007, at 5:16 PM, Stargate Command wrote: > Capt Wolfe wrote: > >> Motion for the team members to spread out.
