[WingedPegasus]

Oh, I am so sorry WP

Oh no hun.

Spoiler:

I'm so sorry. Is this all for homeschool?

S'okay . . . I'll get in a play eventually. Perhaps when I'm sixty . . . but the day shall come!

OT

Spoiler:

Actually, it's for one of the college courses I'm taking. Shortly after that, my brother set me on the right track, so it's all good now.

How are you doing??

[Linda06]

OT ranting about schoolwork

Spoiler:

GARR, I hate my programming IDE! Three different text editors, and it never seems like they're compatible . . . so much for the portability of C++. And you'd think MS Visual studio could come with the ability to have LINE NUMBERS . . . so you can DEBUG . . . but if you can, they're sure buried somewhere obscure. Oh, and it tells me that I'm missing the semicolons to close a line of code when I'm not, and then my personal favorite is that the newest IDE won't even recognize basic commands like "cout", and therefore won't even come close to compiling. GRRRR!! *slams fist on keyboard*

. . . okay . . . I'm better now . . . sorry . .

Not meaning to laugh at your pain, but oh, the joys of programming!

Spoiler:

At least you're struggling with a useful code. We're all taught Fotran at Uni and for the past 7 months or so I've been working with this ancient Fotran 77 code that was all squished together with no explanations or variables declared. I really hate this program. Now we've just realised it doesn't even work properly! Programming is such a bugger. And Fortran isn't used by anyone except ancient Physics professors.

Good luck with it!

Spoiler:

Oh, man, that sounds nasty!! I think they teach Fortran at the college (university) where my brother went, but he mainly uses Verilogue (sp?) and C.

It is fun when it works, though, isn't it?

[Elflinn]

HAH......Nice try

No sneak peeks for the birthday girl...and I've got your present done too.

Can't blame an Elf! for trying!

Spoiler:

I wish they'd teach us C instead - everyone seems to use it! Fortran is a bit obsolete now, although I don't mind it, it would be useful to know a code that is actually USED! lol Not even heard of Verilogue

[Linda06]

Nope,your a tryer..I'll give you that

Spoiler:

LOL, yeah, that'd be quite aggravating . . .

I think he uses it to program FPGA boards. (Field Programmable Gate Arrays) Kinda like a better version of DSPs . . . not entirely sure on the specifics of either one.

Quotes for 4.18 Kindred 1 Part 1

Spoiler:

Kindred Part 1
CARTER: I'm so sorry, Teyla. Kanaan was a good man. He would have made a wonderful father.
TEYLA: I really thought I could save him.
SHEPPARD (gently): You did everything you could. That's all anybody can ask for.
CARTER: He's at peace now.
TEYLA: All right. I am ready.
KANAAN: Teyla?
KANAAN: Teyla.
TEYLA: He is still alive!
KANAAN: Help me, Teyla! Please!
KANAAN: Please help me!
TEYLA (struggling to pull free): He's still alive! Let me go!
CARTER: Teyla, it's too late!
KANAAN: Help me, Teyla! Teyla! Teyla!


KANAAN (screaming): Teylaaaaaaaaa!

SHEPPARD: Make that eight.
SHEPPARD: We just came back from 447. They've got it too.
SHEPPARD: We just came back from the bio-screen, Rodney. We were wearing Hazmat the whole time, too.
SHEPPARD: So far.

TEYLA: Rodney. Has Doctor Keller made any progress with her investigation?
McKAY: Unfortunately not, no, but she's still working on it.
TEYLA: What are you hiding?
McKAY: I, um ... well, I've been waiting for the right time to give this to you, and what with everything that's been going on and all, I, uh ... Anyway, uh ...
McKAY: ... here you go.
TEYLA: You didn't have to do this, Rodney.
McKAY: Well, think of it as a kind of pre-baby present.
McKAY: Back on Earth, there's this company that produces recordings specifically for the foetus. The thinking is that, by listening to the works of, say, a great composer while still in the womb, the baby will be born with a natural predisposition towards musical ability, or – in this case – science.
McKAY: Yeah. I recorded some of my reflections on some of my more ground-breaking accomplishments and theories – just a couple of hours' worth.
TEYLA (smiling): You should not have gone to so much trouble.
McKAY (waving his hand dismissively): Ah, it was no trouble at all.
McKAY: Something wrong?
TEYLA: Uh ... (She looks around, thinking for a moment.) I was debating whether or not to tell anyone.
McKAY: Oh. (He pulls up a chair and sits down.) Tell anyone what?
TEYLA: I believe I had a vision last night.
McKAY: A vision?
TEYLA: I saw Kanaan, the father of my son. I believe that he was trying to send me a message that he's alive and that I must not abandon the search for him and the rest of my people.
McKAY: And this was while you were sleeping?
TEYLA: You think it was a dream.
McKAY: Well, I ... I ...
TEYLA: I believe it was more than that. It did not feel like a dream.
TEYLA: I knew you would doubt me. I should not have said anything.
McKAY: Hey, I've been cocooned inside an alien spacecraft; I've had another person living inside me; I've encountered not one, but two different versions of myself, so who am I to judge? If you say it was a vision, then I believe it was a vision.

TEYLA: Kanaan!
KANAAN: Teyla?
KANAAN: You must help us.
TEYLA: How?
KANAAN: Save us.
TEYLA: Where are you? Where are our people?
KANAAN: You bought me this.
TEYLA: Yes.
KANAAN: Do you remember where?
TEYLA: The village of Croya. Is that where you are?
KANAAN: Come find me.

SHEPPARD: She says the pendant in her vision is the same one she gave to Kanaan before he disappeared.
SHEPPARD: Well, uh ... (he grimaces) ... I'm not sure.
SHEPPARD: Well, she bought it from some guy in a village on M2S-181. She wants to go back and check it out.

SHEPPARD: That's what I said, but she still wants to go. She thinks that Kanaan is sending her a message, a clue.
SHEPPARD: Doesn't matter. It's Teyla, and we owe her one.
SHEPPARD: I'll try and make it quick.

TEYLA: I purchased the pendant from an artisan in Croya, the village we are about to visit. Among the Athosians, it's quite common to present such gifts as expressions of admiration and respect.

SHEPPARD: All right, so we'll ask around, see if we can get some useful intel – but if you even begin to sense any danger ...
TEYLA: ... I'll make straight for the Gate, leaving you to deal with it.
SHEPPARD: All right, then.

TEYLA: Excuse me. I'm wondering if you can tell me what happened to the artisan who used to occupy this space. He specialised in hand-crafted jewellery, bracelets, pendants, chains ...
FEMALE MERCHANT: He's gone.
TEYLA: Gone?
FEMALE MERCHANT: During the sickness that took the village several weeks back. He and some forty others. I'm sorry, child – he's dead.

SHEPPARD: I think we're done here.
TEYLA: Not yet.
SHEPPARD: We've given this place the twice-over and nobody knows anything.
TEYLA: Well, perhaps someone does and has not seen fit to come forward yet.
TEYLA: I was guided here. By showing me the pendant, Kanaan was telling me to come to this village
SHEPPARD: Look, you're going through a tough time. You want answers – that's understandable – but you might wanna consider it's clouding your judgement ... just a little.
TEYLA: What are you questioning, John: my interpretation of the vision or the vision itself?
SHEPPARD: All right, we've been here long enough. If there was something for us to find, we would have found it by now.
SHEPPARD: Rodney, Ronon, we're headin' out.

SHEPPARD: Yeah, it's still thirty percent too many.
SHEPPARD: Well, maybe a few of them survived and they're planning a little pay-back.
SHEPPARD: Let's go, Rodney.

KANAAN: Teyla.
TEYLA: Kanaan! Where are you?
KANAAN: I don't know.
TEYLA: Who took you?
KANAAN: I don't know.
TEYLA: How can I find you?
KANAAN: You already know where to go to uncover the answers.
TEYLA: The village?
KANAAN: You stopped looking.
TEYLA: I went! I found nothing.
KANAAN: You were close. Please, Teyla. Our time is running short.
KANAAN: We need you.
TEYLA (anguished): Kanaan.

CARTER: And you weren't sleeping?
TEYLA: I was in a meditative state, but I was most definitely awake. There can be no doubt – this is real.
CARTER: But you've already been to the planet.
TEYLA: We missed something. I am certain of it.
CARTER: I wanna believe you, Teyla, but I'm a scientist. I'm trained to think critically.

TEYLA: There is a possible explanation. Kanaan has the Gift – the same ability that I do.
CARTER: The Wraith D.N.A.?
TEYLA: Yes. Among my people, the Gift is considered useful, but it also sets one apart. It can be difficult. Kanaan was the only one who could truly understand what it felt like.
CARTER: It brought you together.
TEYLA: It is something we have shared since childhood.
CARTER: But have you ever communicated this way before?
TEYLA: No. I know what this looks like, Colonel, and I know what everyone is thinking. "She sees what she wants to see; she believes what she wants to believe." But I assure you, that is not the case.
CARTER: All right. When Colonel Sheppard gets back from Hoff ...
TEYLA: We cannot wait. Kanaan said their time is running short. I must leave immediately.
CARTER: I see.
TEYLA: I do not need your permission, Colonel. Unless you intend to restrain me ...
CARTER: Major Lorne, come in.
LORNE (over radio): Go ahead, Colonel.
CARTER: Assemble your team. You'll be escorting Teyla back to M2S-181.
LORNE: Understood.
CARTER: I'm not letting you go back there alone.
TEYLA: Thank you, Colonel.
CARTER: Call me Sam.
TEYLA: Thank you, Sam.

SHEPPARD (over radio): Rodney, come in.
SHEPPARD: D'you find anything?
SHEPPARD: Nothing. The Wraith did a pretty good number on this place.
SHEPPARD: Rodney? What's going on?
SHEPPARD: Relax. Probably just rats.
SHEPPARD: What've you got?
SHEPPARD: Scavengers. You think they got ahold of what we're looking for?
SHEPPARD: All right, well, if not them, then who was it?

LORNE: Hmm! Kind of reminds me of the flea markets they used to have back home. Every Sunday, stroll down to the Bay area, find pretty much anything you wanted.
LORNE: And a lot of things you didn't.
LORNE: What is it?
LORNE: Teyla?
TEYLA (sternly): Leave.
TEYLA: I will ask you once and you will answer me truthfully. Where did you get this pendant?
MERCHANT: From a trader. If you like it that much, it's yours with my blessings.
LORNE: You recognise it?
TEYLA: It belonged to Kanaan. (She looks at the merchant.) What else did you acquire from this trader?
TEYLA (talking over him as she looks at Lorne): This necklace belonged to Balera. It was a gift from her parents to mark her coming of age.
TEYLA: And this ring belonged to Halling.
LORNE: The trader you say you got these things from: when's the last time you saw him?

SHEPPARD: No. The place is cleared out.
SHEPPARD: Well, there's only one way to find out.

TEYLA: I'm wearing no uniform.
TRADER: A pregnant woman! Very intimidating(!)
TEYLA: I will inform the villagers that you are a Wraith-worshipper and let them mete out their own justice. (To the team) Let's go.
TRADER: Wait. Wait!
TRADER: I got it at an offworld dumping ground.
LORNE: "Dumping ground"? For what?
TRADER: Corpses, mostly. Loose ends that need to be disappeared.
TRADER: Occasionally they may still have some valuables on ‘em, and valuables they obviously have no use for.
LORNE: This merchandise – you removed it from the dead?
TRADER: No – not that merchandise.
TRADER: The last time I was back at the planet, I spotted what I thought was a fresh grave – a potential new opportunity. But when I dug it up, instead of finding a body, I found a box containing those items. I suppose somebody was just trying to get rid of ‘em. It was odd to me at first, but I wasn't just about to ...
TEYLA (sternly interrupting): You will take us to this world. You will show us where you found them.
TRADER: Of course. Whatever you say.
LORNE (to his team): Get him up.
