Ah well lets see, the polar bear hybrid here took three shots to chest cavity, four shots to the left arm and leg, and two shots to the head and neck area. The head shot is what killed it, but it was probably would have died of blood loss from the chest wound. It would appear that they are very resistant to damage, much like you might expect a normal bear of its size. A bullet to a vial organ will kill it, but unless it is a fatal shoot, it could act normally sometime before succumbing to blood lose.And ah as for what language they speak, it was not English or any known Earth based language that have been able to determine. We have a number of audio recorders if you wish to listen to them."The scientist then walks over to another table where a huge axe (it must weight a good 30 lbs) and a strange large looking musket pistol is sitting. There is a bandolier of large looking bullets also on the table. Passing one of the bullets around, the characters see that the 'casing' for the bullet feels like paper or parchment, not metal. There are also strange writing, something like Nordic runes on the paper and the bullet. 'We took apart a couple of these and the powder we found inside is like no explosives or gunpowder we have ever seen before. Its chemical compound make no sense and should not be flammable, and yet, when struck hard, it acts just like gunpowder. From the bodies of some of those soldier shot with this weapon, it seems to cause a terrible wound that one would normally except in a high-caliber weapon."   General Hammond then speaks up "We have had only one other 'attack' by such unworldly adversaries. About three weeks ago we suffered and attack by small, lizard like creature with dog like faces. They melted away after killed by Lt. West here. Also there was no evidence that the Stargate was activated. We are at a total lost as to where these creatures came from, but we have had one theory. That a 'scroll' recovered and brought back from Abydos, was somehow 'activated' by one of the scientist, and that these creatures where an extra-dimensional construct created by the scroll. That is all theory though, so we have no way of knowing if more will suddenly appear or not. "Now then you will be leaving for this world within four hours. We believe that there is a device on the other side that will allow you to activate the Stargate from that side. We will be giving each of you a crash course on how to operate this device. It is imperative that we get daily updates from the other side, which you will be able to do by opening the gate from the other side and talking with normal radios. "Equipment and weapons are already here, most of what you might want to request, along with all of your personal weapon here on base."We have tentatively name your team Stargate Command, Team 1 call-sign SGC-1. There is a support team being form at this time also that will support you at the site, Team 2, call-sign SGC-2. Your mission will be to cross over through the gate, setup a rallying point somewhere away from the gate, yet near by, where SGC-2 will set up and protect your supplies. Then you team will move off and explore the area. Your main objective is to determine the threat that this ice-woman and her hybrids might posses for this base, and the Earth as a hold. Your secondary mission will be to figure out where the ice-woman took our personal and if possible secure a rescue of said personal."</blockquote>
