We dont actually know how long the voyage to Serpo took. It could have been long enough for some of the EBE's to learn the language.
Yes actually we do it took 9 months but then when they got there they reported problems...

Im pretty sure that from a psychological point of view that persons of the opposite sex is needed, to maintain a constant level of communication and insight. Only 2 would keep the hygene problems to a minimal. And it is possible to skip menstruating periods for extended periods of time.
Possible but back then not likely, remember the way males thought about females, ( espicially in the military )...

So are you saying that the general population would be fine with all of this if it were to come out on say, CNN?

For those who are paying attention ^this is the 'lowerclassmen' I spoke of in my previous post. So for those who got miffed by my comments, read this poster's airclaims and know that if you do not make similar posts, you are cool with me.
like many other people, i've been reading this thread with a great deal of interest, but unlike many people, i simply dont have the analytical skills to go through it. So first off, i'd like to say a big kudos to those who have spent so much time analysing this whole Serpo thing.
The one thing that keeps coming to my mind is the name of the planet....Serpo.
maybe i'm just being stupid but if the Ebens had a different language:
1) why did the Eben refer to the planet as Serpo in the first place?
2) why would the name of a planet, named presumably by the Ebens, have a meaning which was essentially english?
I hope i am making myself clear here. My point is, is that somewhere it is mentioned that the Ebens speak in high pitched tones, or something like that.....so them naming a planet in english (albeit one that comes from latin or something), is akin to us naming something with a high pitched tone.
Is anyone getting this?....lol...cos its kind of hard to explain.
Maybe theres a simple explanation, and maybe i missed something, so if i DID miss something regarding this issue, maybe someone would be kind enough to point it out?
thank you in advance and again, well done to all you people who actually analyse things, instead of (like me) simply read it and occassionally come up with a question

it has also been raised, by yourself, bill, that victor may well have been "set up" by a scientology sting. i would say, given your inclusion on the scientology 'enemy list', that if anyone is going to be 'set up' by the scientologists here, it would be bill ryan. had you considered this? was there a reason why you thought victor was more at risk of this than you?
