I'll want some nice hard evidence to.

Thirdfain wrote:As I said, good luck. Pinning the blame on me would be very hard. In fact, I doubt my nation would even be under consideration- No one knows that the "Ousters" have a detailed intelligence network, after all, didn't we invade just a half a year ago? And aren't Ousters easy to recognize, seeing as all of them are unnaturally tall and paleskinned, not to mention ther higher metabolism, which even a cursory scan would detect easily?

Frankly, I think the Ousters are low on everyone's list of suspects- Beneath, say, the Asgard or the Monacorans, for instance.

Thirdfain wrote:Wow- I just got this REALLY overwhelming urge to invade your country. It was sort of like being horny, only instead of needing to get off, I needed to bomb your worlds into dust and march armies all over your cities.

Weird feeling, let me tell you...

Thirdfain wrote:I dunno. It's a cultural thing, see? Ousters live for 40 years, absolute max. They breed like rabbits, and live short lives. A thing like this is seen as ridiculously backwards and foolish- One of the central tenets of Ouster culture is the phrase "A Brief Life Burns Brightly." Long lives are seen as leading to stagnation and an emphasis on the self over the species- age isn't seen as a source of wisdom, but of doddering foolishness and stasis.

The average Ouster stands tall- A woman of 5’6 is thought short. Her bones regenerate rapidly, an effect designed to make up for the degenerative effects of 0-g life. Her metabolism is faster than an unmodified human’s by a considerable degree, giving her greater strength and agility at the expense of an uncommonly voracious appetite. She moves in the complicated warren-tunnels of an Ouster Cluster with grace and ease, her prehensile toes and skillful hands allowing her great versatility in the realm without up nor down in which she has grown up. Her skin is palest white, if she lives on a ship, or nut brown tan, if she lives on a Cluster. The hard radiation of space finds itself spent on her cells, which regenerate internal damage at such a pace that only extreme radiation presents a danger.
If wounded, her bones and flesh knit with wondrous rapidity. Wounds which would incapacitate a human for weeks are made whole in days. Her high heartrate would make small wounds bleed uncontrollably, if her blood didn’t clot faster and harder than an unmodified human’s. Disease, if it strikes, will find itself hindered by her incredibly adapt immune system. Sex with an Ouster is said to be incredibly satisfying.

She is far from a superwoman. If she lives to see 50 years, she will be counted an old woman. She will reach puberty at eight, and will complete physical growth at 11. She will be spry and active until near the end, capable of bearing children into the last 5 years of her life- but when the end comes, it will be catastrophic- not for her a leisurely old age, but rather, a year or two of collapse, followed by a haggered death.

Such is the life of an Ouster- like that of a human compressed down to half-size, accelerated and focused. Some would liken her to a cockroach, and, after explaining to her what a cockroach was, she would laugh with delight- the comparison would please her.

So, pretty different. Ousters can't breed with humans, though they can be genetically modified back to base human stock pretty easily.

Hmmmm... Apt to strokes, I see.

Higher rates than among humans, of course, but cancer isn't a problem, and they adapt rapidly to germ or bacterial diseases.

Yeah, my soldiers NEVER use NBC protection in combat

It annoys me so much...

It's Naquadah, Goa'uld, and Tau'ri.

Is it too much to ask to do at least that right?
