Should be a site that would be ambushable, but have cover so that aerial bombardment of the truck won't take us out too... If/when he sees a suitable spot he points. "How about over there?"

Murphy looks as ready as he can. It's pretty obvious that his shoulder is still bothering him. But he appears to be bucking up just fine. Rosa seems almost unconcerned. As if this were an archeological excursion and not a fight for survival on a strange and unknown planet. Sula is quiet and alert. What else she might be is unreadable. She gives you a slight nod when you look at her though. -- Stargate Command From montecristo at hotmail.com Tue Oct 30 06:16:35 2007 From: montecristo at hotmail.com (Greg S) Date: Tue, 30 Oct 2007 07:16:35 -0500 Subject: [SG21] Breaker One Nine In-Reply-To: Message-ID: > >> "Probably some sort of tracking and reporting system.
