KLYN: I don't know. It's not something I can pin down precisely.
One or two transports have crossed without clearance, some
flyers that weren't planned for the area, that sort of thing.
Could be the Federation's observer's finally arrived, of
course.
I think the troops were the Federation Observers, probably contacted by Arlen.
AS seen here, they were on their way before Klyn called for help.

I'd go for it on a one-off basis in a story, but not for the actual series.

Blake has thrown off conditioning before, that makes him far too much of a risk.
If he's thrown it off once, he'll probably do it more easily a second time,
especially as familiar situations are those most likely to cause the
conditioning to fail.

I'd go a little bit simpler than that. Servalan expected them all to die.
Zukan's sheme would have worked if Zeeona hadn't been there.
SERVALAN: Are they dead?
ZUKAN: Dying. Now.

I shall second your earlier wish that Servalan be portrayed in the red
dress; though how one would render that collar in metal is a bit puzzling?

Too true ... as our motto says, discriminating.
I've ordered Avon and Blake, and will commit to Jarriere (two, if it'll help
get the numbers :-)). Sorry, but the Supreme Commander or either Travii
doesn't really move me or my wallet, but have we got the numbers for *Vila*
yet?

Early this year there was mention of the possibility of paying by credit

planning to make this possible before we have to pay the higher rate?

1. He has a conversion ratio of 0, which would discourage at least some
people.
2. If he had a bunch of real revolutionaries, they would ENJOY it when he

Marian,
You mentioned that the lack of people in the series (other than Raiker) who
brought up Blake's conviction for child abuse was 'a gaping and irritating
plot-hole'. I agree, and have to point out that it's a plot hole that has
rarely been looked at by the writers of B7 fanfiction. I recently finished
one story that has: 'Haunted' by Nickey Barnard, from the zine 'Pressure
Point'. The reason it suggested for Blake's failure as a rebel was that too
many potential supporters believed in the false conviction.

Discouragement isn't in Blake's dictionary. In fact everything from "dandy" to
just before "dismemberment" seems to be missing :) (Joke, and blatantly ripped
off from Douglas Adams)

It would depend what they thought of Blake. If, for example, Blake was seen as
the equivalent of the SWP (Socialist Workers Party, known to its detractors as
Student W*nker Party), and he met up with a load of people from the
Revolutionary Communist Party, they would give his oration far shorter shrift
than *anyone* on the Liberator, bar maybe Avon. ("Yes, Blake, we *know*. When
are we going to go blow something up?")
Though to be fair oration and action do tend to go hand in hand with Uncle B.
Love,
Ika

If they were the kind of armchair revolutionaries I remember from my youth,
they would prefer listening to him for any length of time above actually
having to accompany him on his missions :-)

You are both partly correct. Its the distance at which an object the same
size as our orbit arround the sun subtends an arc of 1 second, and 3.26 LY
is near enough.
>The crowd does

i.e. a distance being a measure of velocity. And how many people always get
the dimensions correct today. People quote a mass when they weigh vegatables
(which gives the acceleration due to gravity), and a mass to quote a force.
And modems are quoted as sixty four kilobit, or at best sixty four kilobits,
not sixty fourkilo bits per second. New York is about six hours away from
Heathrow. erm. time instead of distance ? I'm not saying that Han was
correct, just making the sort of mistake that is made everyday. The
important thing is, everybody knew what he meant.
>>And the fact that they go faster than light passes un-noticed <sigh>.

>>God, I hate bad science!

Me to, but I try to remember that the whole concept is based on quite
fundamental breaches of science as we know it. So if some side plot device
appears to also breach modern scientific principles, I try not to worry.
Think of it this way.
First we had Newtons laws of motion. They work on the measurement scales
available at the time. Technology improves, we can do new things and make
better measurements. Einstiens Law of Relativity (special and general) are
now required to predict events in this new regime. But Newtons laws MUST be
a subset, a generalisation under certain conditions (v << c for special
relativity). Technology improves even further, and it appears that
Relativity is everywhere. It's behind power stations, it powers our low
earth orbit transport system. We live and breath the twin paradox. But
football is still governed perfectly well by Newtons laws.
Some time later, Squirbles law comes along, allowing continuous acceleration
of a particle from rest to v >> c, in certain circumstances. Don't ask me
how, thats what we need to do this type of Sci-Fi. This must be in a certain
special set of circumstances, but must also allow the existence of the
previous laws as a simplification of squirbles law.
Its OK to have a different reality to ours, but it must be self consistent
(Squirbles law applies always), but must also contain normality as a subset.

Gnog is making my head explode. The most appalling part of it was that I
understood what he was saying (shudder)
I didn't _like_ physics in high school but Father Ralph Townsend would be
highly amused to discover I'm trying to learn it to write fanfic. (A lovely
man; he'd put 4 questions on a test. First one student would say "I don't
understand question 2." Fr. Ralph would go to the blackboard, explain it in
detail, usually giving the answer. Then another question would say "I don't
understand question 4" and so on <g>)

In a story, I referred parenthetically to Vila and Gan
thinking of Jenna as "a real lady." This was questioned
in an LOC. Leaving aside the possibility that she might
not be but Vila and Gan would think she was, I'd be
interested to know what you think about Jenna's back-
story. Servalan calls her something like "a high-grade
Federation citizen," which is not necessarily the same
thing.
I tend to think of her as a debutante gone astray, but
those horrible suburban vowels make me think her
family was nouveau riche.

I think it would look very heavy in white metal - it would have to be fairly
thick to have the strength.
Are there any other particular outfits that would suit?

A few, but I don't think I had the best film for the weather. We had seven of
us on top of the teleport rock (and number 8 taking the photo).
I took a photo for the Who fans using their camera as the Tardis landed on the
same rock <grin>.

Well <grin> I reckon Daniel lost (very sportingly I might add) as he looked
wettest at the end. I'm not sure if anyone won per se (though the Who fans got
suitably drenched). I was doing pretty well until Richard shot me in the
back...
Alliences shifted pretty rapidly depending on which people were in a good
position to ambush those who'd left the caves to reload with more water. We
just tended to team up with whoever was in a good position. Basically, never
resist a good ambush position that allows you to shoot a friend - we're B7 fans
after all!

Okay, I'll reveal myself as (a) totally out of it, and (b) too lazy to look
it up online:
What exactly is "white metal"?

I was re-watching Pressure Point earlier and I noticed something that I
wasn't too sure about.
After they got out of the cave, they went straight to the forbidden zone
surrounding the entrance and started breaking in, bearing in mind that
everyone already told Blake that they were not going on a suicide mission,
how on earth, without teleport bracelets did they expect to get out. They
were planning on blowing the place up, weren't they?
