I'd expect we do still have them as we do have quite a lot of detectors and Dom is very good at wrangling them (although they might be in the caravan, that bourne from whence no small item of kit returns) - but I think they are probably something we can always do with more of.

I doubt they'e in the 'van, in the white medical flight cases maybe. I want to inventory the 'van so I'll see. Thorne would definitely have one of Tonya's detectors in engineering.

We still have one of the ones you supplied and the two I added but we have lostthe others to game attrition

So the question then becomes, do we want to keep the current ones as an earliy development and move to a more canonical (with the SG Universe) one as a final development, or just keep what we have and only stock up on something new when attrition takes the current stock.

I prefer the former route, with the withdrawal of outmoded models and the new models formally replacing them IC.

Ok so far we have a number of 6 ( Cool

as follows

Society props = 3
Polly (Tabitha Becker)= 1
Debs (Olivia Chase) = 1
Nige (Cnl Thorne) = 1

In order to make them non-invisible I can add a curly keychain if required so that they can be clipped to belts or tables as required.

If anyone else wants one shout soon as I am contacting the seller today re shipping. Saying that, nothing is going to happen before Tuesday now so I would say that Tuesday by noon is a good order cutoff date.

If anyone wants to help with input for the accompanying SEF manual for use please do, as Jess has only ever been poked with the damn things and never actually used one. We can also then add it to the wiki for future reference. My email is aktalike@hotmail.co.uk.

Hii;

I think Andrews could use one. He often can be seen waving a geiger counter around and has been known to search for naquada in the past.

It's in hexadecimal

Very busy playing with a large hadron collider looking for..., well, hadrons I suppose.

I will put you on the list Darren Smile

Ok, heres a poser (brought up by Darrens request and his need to scan things other than blood). Up until now I personally have only seen naqueda testers used for blood specimins and I cannot find anything on them on any of the numerous stargate wikis out there.

So what if our testers not only tested fluid samples (such as blood) for naqueda, but they could also detect it in larger quantities as well. The detector would have to have two settings, one for the blood test and another for scanning larger amounts, otherwise it would scream everytime someone was tested near the gate and every returning team would be shot!

That leads me to ask another question. If the above is true, do we want one unit with multiple settings or do we want to go all complex and have one that scans for large amounts and one that is for medical use? Personally I am all for the 'multi-tool' option, as with its 10 buttons it could easily be switched from one setting to another, hence the need for a manual.

I am also thinking that this thing needs a maximum range, so that we cannot stick it on a planet and scan for planet-wide naqueda. As cool as that would be it could very well break plot teams and also be very dangerous in the wrong hands.

I am gonna be doing a lot of research on this one, but I am throwing ideas out there so please comment Smile

The simple answer to range, is to make up something that would relate to the nuclear physics I know...
How about a suggested range of 10 feet per unit of naquada that's there to detect?
Thus a person with very low levels in the blood would be detectable at 2-3 feet, and the power plant of a mothership could be spotted a few hundred yards away. And of course, this leaves a simple formula for shielding too.
Example: 100 units of Naquada (normally could be detected from 1000 feet) has 75 units of shielding, which leaves 25 detectable units, thus making the range you can spot it at as 250 feet,

If we set the unit as 1 goa'uld's worth, then that makes life easy, right? Able to spot a host at 10 feet is enough. If that's too far, simply change the unit size to double that, and you can pick up a goa'uld (now a half unit's worth of naquada) at half of ten feet, ie 5 feet away.

In the UKGC/SEF universe, there have always been 2 devices. Various miscellaneous bits of hand held test kit were used for blood naquadah detectors (sound level meter, environmental meter, DIY distance meter, multimeter et al) & there is a separate "naquadah detector" based on a spectrometer for larger quantities.

I believe that one difference between the two is that the blood detector actually scans for naquaglobin. I couldn't quote a series/episode but I think Carter & the first doc had a discussion about it. That's my understanding of why someone has to have had a symbiote to work some Goa'uld devices. Plain naquadah in the body just accumulates like other heavy metal poisons such as lead & beryllium. The body can't excrete it. That's why Thorne over reacted to Capt. Blaze's "high levels of naquadah"

The spectrometer device works by looking for the "spectral lines" of naquadah in the light from a incandescent object, or by vapourings a small quantity of the material. Detectors for specific materials have "windows" that are tansparent to light of the appropriate frquency. The spectrometer naquadah detector is the silver tube connected to a readout, in Thorne's case of portable instruments (& before that, Connor Armstrong's, who he inherited it from.
