Cool! Good luck, and let us know how it works. I'm tempted to go that kind of route myself so that I can access CBC programming, which is generally blocked from viewers with US IP addresses. There are shows I've seen bits of when vacationing in Canada that I wouldn't mind watching more of.Sum, ergo scribo...

I need a science geek. How do naval sonar communications work? How would one contact them through it (do you have to be on a radio frequency, a certain volume, make sure you don't resemble a whale)?Price for Pain What do you mean violence isn't the answer?
Burn It All Away Blood moves the heavens. Fire purifies the land. Legends change worlds. Destiny burns.
Whiskey Tango Foxtrot Fiat justitia et pereat mundus. Fiat justitia ruat caelum.
All are PG-13, each with a single act of rated R violence. Adults situations and other, tamer violence.

However, if you just saw Sanctuary and are asking about Henry's method of communicating with Praxis, you want Project Seafarer (which Henry mentioned), so check this out. You should also know that there is a X-files episode in which the same project makes an appearance (it's called Drive) but I don't remember how much of the technology they actually explore. It's more of the consequences. Still, might be interesting for you since the consequences they used had some basis in truth - or at least in blame.

Originally posted by Feast of the Muse View PostNot sure about the sonar. I'm pretty sure that is a one-way method of communication. Think blind man with stick.Sum, ergo scribo...

WR, if you want to run your tech passage on this topic by me when it's written or as you write it, I might be able to help you make it plausible.Sum, ergo scribo...

I remember reading about a study with elephants to see if they could detect low frequency electromagnetic waves... unfortunately I have no idea where it is anymore. It was interesting though because they thought they could teach the elephants to warn them about impending earthquakes. Not what you asked, but still very cool and possibly useful.

Oh, and I'm glad someone's posting SOMETHING around here! I was starting to wonder where everybody was!
Brooke, did you get a chance to read that Tok'ra chapter of mine yet? And if so, did it make sense to you?
Also, WTF is up with FF.net now? Story posting and updating works okay, but my PM outbox doesn't show a message I swear I sent someone this morning, so now I'm wondering if they ever actually got it.Spoiler:(Times like these I'm tempted to start calling it "fanfcuk.net" in public.)Sum, ergo scribo...
