"Titan-ium?" J'eon rumbled, surprised. Aluminum was very easy to work, yes, but this... "very strong metal"?

He reared his head back, staring down at the captain, and slowly bared his teeth like he'd seen other humans do, while spreading his arms out to show he was unarmed and not about to attack.

"I would love to learn about this titan-ium, yes."

He wondered if they had much of it on board? But what did it matter, it was more than anyone else was likely to have!

"Non-lethals?" Jack scowls. "Rubber bullets and bean-bag rounds might be safe to use against the Glen, but if these Tekeri are like the birds we have at home, those may not be as safe for them. And if these are with our allies, they won't like it if we kill their people."

"Tear gas might not phase them and set the dead brush on fire." he sighs. "What does he have in mind?"

[i]“Zey to Bridge, do we have a problem?”[/i]

"Tekeri are approaching the comm relay," Jack replied, "Translation suggests they think it's some sort of evil totem and want to take it down. Edwards wants to use some sort of non-lethal, but I'm concerned they won't be non-lethal to the Tekeri. I asked Dr. Ibarra to pass that on to Castigator Nellara, but I've not gotten a response back.

"I've ordered the flashing of the ship's lights as a precaution, but I don't know how many crew will respond."

[i]Especially after he was summarily ordered off the bridge when Dr. Ibarra made unoffical second contact. If the locals realized they were grounded and unable to return with no other alien ships falling from the sky, they could easily set siege on the ship and starve them out.
