#5821 Kindly ignore my last message...

 ...'Cause it was supposed to go to the pocket-empire list, not this one...
Since I'm here, though, I seem to remember a reference (in a MegaTrav
supplement) that indicated that the original Vargr (?) jump drives
didn't use Lanthanum, but some other, inferior, rare earth
element...Anybody else remember this and, if so, was it indeed the Vargr
and what was the element?  I scanned through Cogs & Dogs, but didn't
unearth anything :/

Wasn't it barium? I recall some ancient spacer joke about the best thing
to do with a Vargr jump-drive ("bury 'em"). Hmmm ... how does this pun
translate into Galanglic? Is Galanglic still part of TNE?
