Now, with Anubis,s "eet routed, the Stargate pro-ect has gathered volunteers from all over the world and assembled an e.pedion to the Pegasus Gala.y. 0ith the enormous energy re1uirements involved and other alien threats sll looming over arth, it may be a one-way trip. 2t3s 2004 and you will be -oining this e.pedion, one way or another.

You,re not e.pected to go on missions oCen. Medical You are responsible for maintaining the health, wellbeing and happiness of the e.pedionD as a doctor, nurse, medical researcher or maybe psychologist.

Your uniform has yellow panels. Science You are a scienst, responsible for discovering and analysing whatever can be found through the Pegasus Stargates * technology, life forms or cultures. 2t is likely you had some e.posure to the Stargate program before your selecon for the e.pedion, such as through the various technology distribuon eGorts on arth or the military3s Area 51 program.

Any background e.cept Mocal and Drop-2n can select this opon without rolling. 3-4 Inhabited Planet with a Stargate You begin in a human seFlement in the Pegasus Gala.y, not too far from the local Stargate.

Ahe Stargate isN somewhere within an hour,s walk, if you pick the right direcon. Drop 2ns can select this without rolling. 7 Wraith Hive Ship. Not the most inving place for a human, especially one in orbit around a planet or "ying through hyperspace between cullings, but there,s a :Cy-:Cy chance this one is instead parked on an otherwise uninhabited planet with a Stargate an hour,s walk away. Ary not to wake anyone up on your way out. 8 Free Pick Anywhere you like in the Pegasus Gala.y. You can buy this for 50 CP if you don,t want to roll. v171210 p3/23 Optional Scenarios Continuity Of The Continuum 2f you,ve already been to the :rst Stargate -ump, choosing to be a Drop 2n here gives you the opon to connue where you leC oG in the same universe for another ten years. 0ell, almost where you leC ofD hopefully your past acons haven,t resulted in your new arrival locaon,s non-e.istence, that could be awkward.

General Perks ATA Gene – 50 CP You seem to have a strong e.pression of the Ancient Aechnology Acvaon geneD enough for Ancient devices to respond to you, which would make you valuable to the Atlans .pedion for this reason alone. ACer this -ump, you may choose to emulate the bare minimum gene se1uences that alien biometric sensors look for in #friendlies$ to reacvate, though you don,t gain any funconality of those genes. 0hether this perk involves actual biology or :at is up to you, but either way it sll won,t help if tech is locked to uni1ue individuals rather than general groups. ATA Natural – 50 CP, requires ATA Gene Ahe AAA gene lets a person use Ancient technology) this perk lets you use it well, straight oG the bat. You can insncvely use psychic interfaces beFer than most other people do even with training - you don3t accidentally :re oG drones by mistake, and Puddle Jumpers respond to you like you,ve had years of pracce * more or less starng you at Sheppard,s level of aptude.

But you no longer have to worry about such thesian marime issues. Your connuity of self endures, even if there might not be much for you to be aware of. Ahere,s no worry of going mad 8not from the death part anyway9 if you were disposed to such things, but this perk only goes so far) if you die by accident or by the deliberate intent to end you permanently, this perk won,t acvate.
