[INFO] Unscheduled Off-World Activation

[fikgirl]

For those who missed it, we've had our first GAME EVENT: Stargate Activation. It's open to everyone, so have fun. (Jack O'Neill, Sam Carter, Daniel Jackson, Elizabeth Weir, and Ron Boone this definitely means you. If you're on a Gamma Team, this means you too.)

A few notes on the thread:

There are three basic alarm types that the colonists were taught to recognize early on:

1. The Unscheduled Off-World Activation: This is the one those familiar with Stargate know best. This alarm basically tells anyone within hearing range (meaning the whole of Gatetown) that someone or something unexpected dialed the stargate and is coming through. It means "be on guard."
   
   
2. Under Attack/Invasion: This alarm, also heard throughout Gatetown basically says for those on defense to get ready to defend and everyone else get hiding.
   
   
3. Gate Active: This one is limited to the vicinity of the stargate. This alarm is the one that warns anyone who might be loitering that the gate is going to activate (just in case they don't notice the spinning rings and locking chevrons) and to move the heck out of the way if you don't want to be vaporized.
   
   The Strangers:The people coming through the stargate are a rag tag group of men, women and children of all ages. They appear to be bone-weary tired. They are also frazzled, wearing a shadow of fear behind relief. Their eyes are haunted, some by shock and some by the taint of horror and despair. Their clothes are mud covered. On close inspection, some are wounded.
