A minor issue about unification

Post by ClymAngus »

I've been looking round the internet and seeing the guts a gristle of non-English websites of oolite.
It appears that the ONLY place people of alternate languages have taken their information from is:

http://www.oolite.org/

Which although good, is by no means a comprehensive gateway of the art. Now I'm not being antagonistic here and we have ALL been doing what we can when we can. But if this is the point by which the rest of the world perceives us.........

Should we not give them a god damn show worthy of their time? All accessible oxp's now. Help them be a part rather that a follow on?
Out of interest who hosts www.oolite.org?

The URL for these other Oolite sites would go well on the links section.
You know those who, having been mugged and stabbed, fired, dog run over, house burned down, wife eloped with best friend, daughters becoming prostitutes and their countries invaded - still say that "all is well"?
I'm obviously not one of them.

But of course it is, since Jens Ayton = Ahruman...

And doesn't unification involve getting Mr. Spock to defect into Romulan space or something?

Cheers,

Perhaps some Romulan Ale might smooth out the dinner conversation. :P
Take an idea from one person and twist or modify it in a different way as a return suggestion so another person can see a part of it that can apply to the oxp they are working on.

Nah, the TNG two-parter "Unification" involved Spock going to meet secret under ground sect of Romulan's who wanted Unification with their Vulcan cousins. However, Romulan secret intelligence had infiltrated the group and knew of Spock's arrival and used the meeting to disguise an invasion force of Romulan shock troops as a peace delegation. The plot is foiled, in part, by Cmdr Data whose massive brain power is used to conjure the most convoluted technobabble to unmask the cloaked invasion fleet following the "peace" ships. When the plot is revealed, the Romulan ships destroy the "peace" ships, vaporising any proof that they contained the invading troops. (This is also the episode where Denise Crosby comes back as her own half-Romulan daughter because of the alternative time-line incident which occurred in "Yesterday's Enterprise")

(Or at least that's how I remember it - but it has been about 10 years since I saw this episode...)
