I have to assume this is fairly significant, but without any biography on the fella, I don't know how.

Well, it´s not that important _right now_ but may be in the future. ;o) If it will be significant I can´t tell... Probably SPEARFISH has more information about him.

I have taken a look at the 'special database' and I would say that what I read was interesting.

Hmmm....I wonder what you have in mind for such a thing. I've not found a historical account of it yet...other than modern stuff.

Yes, something Atlantis seems to find difficult due to outside meddling, which is fine...... less hands in the cookie jar of Atlantian technology!

What are you working on the anti-matter drive still? I thought your people solved that 3,000 years ago.

That and we can't figure out how to get those phasers we keep sneaking into designs to work alongside the anti-matter drive, phased cloaking device and multi phasic sheilds.

Currently our "Vingula" project gives us hope that we can get our crewmen to act like subservient drones by mere thoughts alone.

I think this thread has been officially highjacked so I'll turn it over to Hoo's capable hands!

Hmmmm very interesting propulsion device. Seems like a money pit to me but then again South Africa will undoubtedly recieve help from a very interested Raj or some other party, all it takes is money!

I have to wait a few years for a few of my own devices to be created.
