conversations.value: At it's inception, Temporal Effects & Actions Research (or TEAR for short) was a privately held corporation researching  the theoretical effects of singularities on Earth.  That mandate quickly became a boots-on-the-ground response team when the real thing began appearing across the United Kingdom. 
  
  Wait, what's that you said? Singularities?
  
  You heard me right, singularities.  Rips.  Tears in the continuum of space and time.  They exist and moreover, they have begun appearing with increasing regularity.
  
  Now a joint military/civilian project, TEAR's mandate and it's need for specialists has continued to grow.  Civilian or officer, squaddie or scientist, whether you're new to the project or have been working there from it's inception, the urgency of this mission is clear.
  
  Stop the singularities before Earth is destroyed.

conversations.value: Temporal Effects & Actions Research (or TEAR for short) is based just outside London, at the Andover Military Complex near Middle Wallop on Salisbury plain. It's not the best position for covering the North of the country, but it gives the team access to the aviation school, which is the best place to borrow helicopters on short notice. Their base of operations at the complex is called The Roundhouse and is something of a combination of an abandoned railway turnaround station and the X-men's facility.
   
  TEAR's military personnel live in the accommodations at Andover.  The civilians working on the project have the option of living in the surrounding area but they can also choose to live on-base at Andover as part of the singles mess provided there are spare rooms available to them.

  With air support available from the base at Middle Wallop 8 miles away and the A303 and a direct railway line to London bordering the base, the team is perfectly situated to cover as large a portion of the country as possible.
  
  Medical care for the team is provided at Tidworth  (Approximately 2/3 of which are military doctors and the other 1/3 are civilians. This includes access to a Top Secret + level psychiatrist as well.) where there is post-surgical rehabilitation support and a full ward setup.
  
  For any civilians from the project who choose to stay on base, the cost would be approximately £750 per month but would get all meals, laundry, clothes pressed, shoes polished, room cleaned daily, papers et al.

  Personality: Regularly teased for being “too serious for his own good” Will has always been the voice of reason in Colby’s pet trio of terror (EG: Fee, Will, & Mace).  It’s rare for the men and women under his command to see him relaxed and joking but when they do, Mace or Fee are invariably the instigators.  The rest of the time, Will is all business, comporting himself with the demeanor that makes him every inch the perfect soldier.
  
  Family: From a long serving military family, his father still serves. They have a highly antagonistic relationship, and a large part of his volunteering for SF duties can be laid directly at his father’s feet. Will’s younger brother, Casimir, who was 2 years younger than Will, died at age 12 of Leukemia.  For a time, Will was pursuing a life in the clergy.  He went so far as to do a few years in a seminary school while completing his secondary education before a mentor who was a former military officer himself, advised him to apply for his commission.
  
  Career: Attended Royal Military Academy Sandhurst with Fee & Mace and then was assigned to an Infantry Regiment for 1 operational tour in Afghanistan.  He underwent selection, received command training, and was then chosen for assignment by the Special Projects division for a secret

  Personality: Colby has a relaxed and unflappable disposition.  His love of mentoring younger officers in jeopardy of stalling their careers is tangential to the gentle humor he applies to rearing his children and his relationship with his wife.
  
  Family: David's wife works civil service and her career has been fairly aggressive thus far.  (She and Kavan have run into each other.)  His wife is 4 years younger than him.  Their first child was born soon after the wedding.  She took maternity leave and did further university time while on maternity leave. Then applied for a graduate fast track scheme after returning from maternity leave.  (This explains the 6 year age gap between the kids because she’s pursuing her career during that time.)  She works in the Ministry of Defense Main Building with the International division.  Her assignment came with the accommodations so the kids notional home base is wherever she is.  One of the kids is 18 and at university and the younger two are age 12 and at boarding school.
  
  Career: 1980 graduated from a three year degree program.
  1981 January enters Sandhurst as a graduate with a Bachelors of Engineering with Honors.
  1982-1987 he’s a second lieutenant/lieutenant.
  1987-1993 he’s a captain and at some point does a Northern Ireland posting and Gulf War 1. (His son is born during this time.)
  1993-1994 he’s a Shrivenham for his first staff officer’s course.
  1994-1996 He’s a Major at the Glasgow Engineer Corp Officers. 
  1996-1999 He’s been in Cosovo as a commanding officer of a company as a general engineer.
  1999-2001 commander of a training establishment at Shrivenham. (His twin daughters are born during this posting at Swindon Royal Infirmary. This is also when he first meets McKenna and Kavan by way of McKenna's father.)
  2002-2003 is spent at Shrivenham doing his own staff officer course 2002-2005 is spent as commanding officer bomb disposal regiment.
  2005-2007 is spent working as chief of staff to a 2 star general.  2007-2008 is spent doing a twelve month Colonel’s posting in Afghanistan which is his second overlap with Fee.  This is the point at which Colby takes Fee in as his protege and the Valkyries are first formed.  
  2008-2010 he is working for the Service Inquiries division. 
  2010 now Brigadier Colby pulls him as chief clerk/PA to work at Directorate Special Forces (DSF).

  Name: Christian Riley Sayer, Quartermaster
  
  Rank: Major
  
  Age: 28
  
  Appearance: Still well built despite being 95% reliant on a wheelchair, Christian has let his thick light brown hair grow to shoulder length since his injury in 2008. He's got grey eyes that twinkle when he smiles and a broad luscious mouth that makes it hard to resist smiling back at him. He swims and does freeweight training to keep fit despite his disability.
  
  Languages: English and a broken schoolboy’s knowledge of Czech from having spent 2 years of deployment rotations there. Despite doing half a tour in Afghanistan, he never picked up more than a handful of words, finding the language’s structure too incomprehensible.
  
  Family Background: Raised in Kensington by well-heeled parents.
  
  Career Notes: Christian completed university with a focus on philosophy and classical literature before commissioning in 2003. Sayer served three tours in the Czech Republic and half a tour in Afghanistan. He was sent home after sustaining a major lower lumbar injury when his unit took a blast from a roadside IED. Eighteen months of rehab and surgery left Christian able to stand but without the muscle control or sensation below his thighs to be capable of walking. Since the completion of his rehabilitation, Major Sayer has been working in military logistics out of the MOD HQ Hereford. Lester was able to lure him in after the raging disaster that was first and second attempts to assign a Quartermaster to the TEAR.
  
  Personal Notes: He's the kind of guy who reads Sun Tzu for fun. (Should be an interesting change for the TEAR lads given how they grit their teeth whenever Connor and Nick get started on their ramblings.) While Christian isn't averse to a little fun or experimentation, he's 100% het when it comes to his long-term preferences. He may have had his moments in the past but these days he’s too practical to put up with drama or being yanked around. Ultimately, Christian has found his match in Sergeant Tash Novotny, the lead medic and resident empath.

conversations.value: Name: Kavan John Emerson
  
  Age: 41
  
  Appearance:  5’10”, with brown hair and green eyes best described as intense. He’s fit but not overly so. Not the kind of guy who looks like he could kick your ass in a dark alley, but looks like he’d get a few decent blows in if he had to.
  
  Languages:  Latin, French, and Ancient Greek thanks to schooling and enough Spanish to get by thanks to his wife.
  
  Family Background: Kavan is a family name.  His family is very well off, they’ve got inherited money enough to never worry about working if they didn’t want to.  Kavan chooses to work because he loves what he does and enjoys the challenges.  Kavan is the oldest of three children.  His sister, Jocelyn,  is five years younger than him and his brother, is younger than her by five years, making a ten year age difference from Kavan. Jocelyn is the bane of his existence.  His brother is a doctor by trade. Everyone in his family is pretty motivated.  Kavan’s parents are still alive, he gets along better with his father than he does with his mother. 
   
  Career Notes:  Attended Eton from age 11 to 18 with his parents footing the bill and pushing hard for him to excel at everything.  Kavan was one of the last years to take the O level exams.  He studied Classics.  After completing his O levels, he took A levels and attended uni. He received his undergraduate degree from Brasenose College at Oxford University, where he did a Naval cadetship. (Yet another reason for McKenna’s father not to like him.)   He did a conversion at University College, London, then spent a bit apprenticing to a friend of his father’s with an already established legal practice. He took the bar exam in 1993.
  
  Personal Notes:  He’s married to McKenna Elena Emerson, whom he met while she was working as a military advisor to the firm where he works.  He doesn’t get along terribly well with his father-in-law, who has had far too many run-ins with lawyers in the past and still doesn’t trust having one for a son-in-law no matter how well he treats McKenna.  He plays rugby for fun, or at least, he did when he was younger, though likely not quite as much now as he did then.  He’s been rinding horses since childhood, and was an accomplished warm-blood hunter/jumper while at school.  
  
  Hadrian’s first ex-wife is Kavan’s sister, Jocelyn, who divorced him because she disliked his decision to join the army.  At one point when he was between marriages, Hadrian had a thing for Lester's ex-wife.  It was back when Lester was still married to her and Hadrian was still married to Jocelyn.  This means Lester and Kavan have a shared love of baiting Hadrian.
  
  When the ARC lost Philip's funding, Kavan offered to become a backer.  Lester was hesitant but couldn’t afford to refuse when government funding wasn’t enough to carry their costs.  The situation has created an interesting dynamic between the two men.  Common ground and yet also uncertain and stressful.

  Details about their job: (what they do, how long they've been doing it, who they do it with etc.)
  
  
  Name:  Dr. McKenna Elena Emerson (Goes by Kenna)
  
  Age:  38
  
  Appearance:  Lithe and willowy with dark hair and dark eyes. Her father was English and her mother was Spanish from Catalonia. She works out on a regular basis, but still looks more feminine and soft than she wishes at times.
  
  Languages: English, Latin, Continental Spanish, Catalan, Italian, French, Urdu (Central Asian language - Pakistan and parts of India), Egyptian Arabic. She also fluently uses a number of computer languages Unix, Ruby, ASP, C# SQL, HTML, CSS.  and most other computer languages. She enjoys learning new languages and it is one of her few hobbies that she can say isn't directly career-related.
  
  Family Background: Youngest child and only daughter of now retired Brigadier Raymond Kensington and Catalina Kensington.  Since he travelled a great deal with the military including on diplomatic postings, as Defense Attache at the Cairo embassy and then the embassy in Islamabad. McKenna and her siblings travelled with him as school schedules would allow. In Cairo they attended the International School, but when he was posted to Islamabad, McKenna and her youngest brother were sent to a UK boarding school (possibly Duke of Yorks Military School), but both spent much of their holiday time in Pakistan with him. She has three older brothers, all of whom whom hold commissions in the armed forces (as does she) -- the middle one is doing “something” SF; she thinks he is either SAS or SRR - he refuses to say. Her youngest brother decided to rebel against their father and has taken a “permanent” US-based posting and has an American wife.  McKenna would never have considered going against her father's wishes in anything. A breech between her father, two older brothers, and McKenna over the subject of the youngest brother’s choices has become an unspoken family source of tension. 
  
  Career Notes: Their mother died in an accident when McKenna was a young child and so her father was her strongest influence on what she did with life, studies and later employment. After her younger brother chose the American posting, McKenna requested to switch corps from Intelligence to Signals, completing a Masters in Mechanical Engineering at Shrivenham. Her father might have forgiven her that in a few years if it hadn't been for the man McKenna fell in love with a year or so later.  She had been attached to a civilian firm as military advisor when she met Kavan Emerson.  Kavan not only had old money, but he had made quite a living as a lawyer -- and after several run-ins with DGALS, Brigadier Kensington cannot stand lawyers - Civilian or Military.  She technically still holds a commission, but her husband bought out her return of service, and she went to work for AWE while studying for a Physics PhD. 
  
  Personal Notes:  McKenna has been raised by military standards all of her life and as such, is focused and does not do anything by half measures. Because she was in a number of boarding and International schools during childhood, she didn't really have a chance to make many friends until University. Even then, her shyness made it difficult to talk to most people. Besides, she was too focused on her studies.She did manage to make a few close friends and they are people she keeps in contact with. (One of her friends turned out to be the niece of the Secretary of State for Defence, which is how she came to know about the ARC.) She is very driven and sometimes will lose track of time if she gets too deep into a project she is working on. She can be shy with people that she doesn't know outside of her labs, and rarely speaks when in a group setting.

  Family Background: Comes from old money, his father a baronet. Hadrian has been married and divorced 3 times and is currently enjoying play-boying around.  Hadrian knows Lester, to be specific, he knows Lester’s ex-wife and in fact still prefers her so he gets in subtle snubs whenever he can. He make Lester twitchy because Lester knows he's had a flirtation with his ex-wife in the past.  Hadrian has one daughter, Adriana, age 5, from his 2nd marriage.  He dotes on her.  Wife #1 disliked his desicion to join the army.  Wife #2 married him for convenience but later fell in love with another man.  He actually loved her but recognized that he was no good for her in the long run.  And wife #3 argued with him over wanting to maintain a career of her own but it really ended because of mutual infidelity. He's a cad, plain and simple without really thinking about the fact that he is so.  Rubs Fee all kinds of wrong and Hils too because he flirts with Jess.  Jess isn't comfortable about it, but too polite to say anything.  Hils and Fee suspect the flirtation has to do with Jess’ resemblance to ex #2, at least, if the photos of his daughter are anything to go by.  
  Notes: Currently attached to the Blues & Royals with the cavalry unit on ceremonials, but gets borrowed every so often. Did vet school, went civvy vet, got bored and commissioned a little later.   Didn't want to be a country doctor and found urban practice on high priced pampered pets to be too much of a bother.  Abby handles day-to-day but Hadrian’s around to consult and act as a mentor.  Doesn't even consider how his actions where Abby is concerned could be seen as a threat by Connor. He's just got no interest in Connor because he's a ragamuffin and not of the right profession. Abby at least catches his eye because she's got promise. He looks on her as a bit of a professional charity case, but you couldn't convince Connor of that. Conn is twitchy every time the guy's around. Connor and Lester occasionally commiserate over the pain in the ass blue-blood.

  Languages: Schoolboy French and he’s picked up basic anatomy in Pashtu and Persian along the way. (Along the lines of <i>“Which bit hurts?”</i>)
  Appearance: Dark curly hair, grey eyes. Around 5’10”.
  Family History: His mother is also a physician,a GP (General Practioner),  and his father is an officer. Garrett combined the two.
  Careeer Notes: Major Byrne received his training at Bristol University’s Medical School where he was a sponsored medical cadet.  He was paid as a Lieutenant through the second part of his medical degree training.   Currently he’s on his fourth posting and has previously done multiple tours  - one short tour with a Field Hospital to the Role 3 Hospital at Bastion (Fd Hosp), and two to Iraq-based Field Hospitals , and one tour attached to a regular army field unit. Currently he’s attached to 1IG (1st Battalion Irish Guards)who have just returned from Afghanistan. Prior to the most recent tour, his previous posting was at <a href=”http://www.qaranc.co.uk/mdhufrimleypark.php”>MDHU Frimley Park</a> (Ministry of Defence Hospital Unit, where there is also a civilian hospital site.  The military element of that hospital is integrated).  Major Byrne has also done a stint at RCDM (<a  href=”http://www.qaranc.co.uk/rcdm.php”>Royal College of Defence Medicine</a>) as well.  His training is as a generalist, with some surgical experience under his belt. At the beginning of our virtual series 6, Lester called in a favour because a number of his own people needed treatment and the explosion at New Dawn left them without anyone cleared to do so.  The <a href=”http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Royal_Army_Medical_Corps“>RAMC</a> is suffering undermanning - there is no flex in the system for the ARC (which is far too small a unit) to rate a full time Medical Officer (MO) of their own.  As a result 1 IG were directed to make Byrne available as required.  Over the course of series 6, Major Byrne becomes established at the ARC as it’s on-call MO, managing the three permanently assigned combat medical technicians (CMTs) and supervising the treatment of personnel as needed.  This has led to Major Byrne handing off much of his lower clearance work  to civilian medical practitioners  in order to be available for incidents requiring a higher degree of clearance.  
  All military members of the field teams have at least a reasonable grasp of first aid, but given the creatures they deal with, they’ve found it to be useful to send out medics with each anomaly response, even if only to appropriately triage the civilian medical response.  
  Personal Notes: Having just returned from a rather unpleasant operational tour he has next to no social life <i>at present</i>. He uses his vocation as an excuse.  Being a medical officer makes for odd hours and sudden departures from social engagements.  He’s still living in at the <a href=”http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mess”>Mess</a> at Windsor, although he may move closer to the ARC.

  Many shells, bombs and munitions fail to explode, leaving them around the battlefield after the fighting is over. Bomb Disposal Engineers are expert in the vital task of safely disposing of unexploded ordnance.
  
  In peacetime, they provide the essential expertise necessary to clear areas, often to permit the civilian population to return home. They are also expert in counter-terrorist search - uncovering illegal arms and explosives.
  
  The role
  
  EOD Bomb Disposal Engineers are experts in the safe disposal of unexploded ordnance, such as mines, shells and bombs that may be left on the battlefield after a conflict. In peacetime, they apply their expertise to clear and make safe civilian areas. Before you can become a Bomb Disposal specialist, you must first complete soldier or officer training, Combat Engineer training and then trade training (soldiers only). You should then ask to specialise in Bomb Disposal.
  
  The skills
  
  Once selected for EOD Bomb Disposal training, you will undertake a four-week course, which will teach you to recognise various types of bomb and ammunition, make them safe and then dispose of them. EOD Engineers are also trained in counter-terrorist searches and the uncovering of illegal arms and explosives.
  
  After some further experience and promotion, you will complete a four week intermediate course which will enhance the skills you have already learnt, train you in advanced demolitions and mines, and enable you to carry out the duties of the second in command of a Bomb Disposal team.

conversations.value: An Ammunition Technical Officer (ATO) is an officer involved in all aspects of the army's use of ammunition. This includes: bomb disposal, explosives accident investigation, procurement, in service management, storage, and inspection and repair.
  
  ATOs are generally selected as Captains, exclusively from within the Royal Logistic Corps; however when an Ammunition Technician (AT) Warrant Officer (WO) or Senior Non-Commissioned Officer (SNCO) is selected for commission, their AT qualification transfers to that of an ATO. 
  
  Training as an ATO lasts 17 months and requires attendance at the Royal Military College of Science and the Defence EOD Munitions Search School Kineton formerly known as the Army School of Ammunition. At its conclusion the new ATO may take command of an EOD Troop within 11 Explosive Ordnance Disposal Regiment RLC, or be employed within an Ammunition Squadron or ammunition depot.
  
  In 11 EOD Regiment, in addition to the Troop Commander's role, the ATO performs Counter-Terrorist bomb disposal activities and IEDD within the UK, leading an EOD team. WO and SNCO ATs may also lead EOD teams, and when doing so are often referred to as the ATO.
  
  ATs and ATOs can undergo further EOD training at the Felix Centre within the Defence EOD Munitions Search School Kineton. ATOs are the UK's Ammunition experts, with many years of experience in Palestine, Aden, Cyprus, Northern Ireland, the Balkans, Iraq, Afghanistan, and anywhere where the British Army have forces deployed and require EOD expertise and advice.

  You'll be trained to command, lead and manage a highly capable group of multi-skilled soldiers who will look to you for leadership in wide range of situations in peacetime and in combat situations. Following the commissioning course at the Royal Military Academy Sandhurst you'll attend the RLC Troop Commanders' Course at the Defence Logistics School.
  
  As a newly commissioned RLC officer you can expect to be immediately in charge of up to 60 soldiers, responsible for their training, welfare and development. You'll also be responsible for thousands of pounds worth of military logistical kit and equipment. Such a responsibility requires the very best minds and a willingness to succeed in any situation.
  
  In return you will be rewarded with a career that offers diversity of employment, continual scope for professional and personal development and specialised training, global travel and a level of excitement and adventure that we believe no civilian job can match.
  
  As a member of the RLC family, you'll be a part of the Regiment that looks after their own and takes their job very seriously. You'll have the opportunity to plan and participate in a range of sporting and cultural activities.

A bachelor's degree is usually required, and relevant majors include journalism, public relations, business or communications. Experience in the media or leadership positions can be a benefit to aspiring public affairs officers. 
  
  Public affairs officers (PAOs) help maintain the relationship between an organization and the public. The title 'public affairs officer' is more commonly used in the military and government agencies; individuals with similar positions in civilian organizations or businesses may be known as public relations specialists or communications specialists. PAOs prepare formal statements and write speeches for an organization's representatives and superior officers.
  
  Behind the scenes, public relations specialists train and brief executives to speak effectively with the public and advise executives based on demographic trends. PAOs are responsible for informing the public about how company activities will impact the community, and coordinating and managing an organization's response to negative events as they occur. PAOs work under multiple deadlines and attend meetings with fellow employees and community interests groups.

  Nationality: British
  Languages: Does “can curse better than a drunken sailor” count as a language? She knows enough Spanish to get into trouble, is fluent in Italian - learning the language amused her, and made a good distraction from training at times, and has a smattering of Persian (Farsi dialect) from her time in operational theatre.

  Relationship Status: Civil Partnership (Fiona Black)

  Image/Played By: Jessica Steen
  
  Personality: Mace loves making things blow up — and she likes it even better if she generally isn’t going to get jailed for doing so. She likes to play with her weapons and work out. She has a fondness for music and cooking. And loves to drag her team-mates out to embarrass themselves at karaoke. Mace rides a motorbike, a Ducati Streetfighter S, at high speeds and likes doing the repairs to it by herself. When she was younger she wanted to be a racer but both her parents and brother were not on board with that idea.
  
  Family: Mace’s mother remarried when she was young. There was a nine year gap in age between her and her older brother. She may have sometimes idolized her older brother, but also would say he was a right pain in the ass about her sometimes. While there wasn’t any animosity between the siblings, Mace did legally change her name back to her mother’s maiden name when she became an adult. Both of her parents are now deceased, leaving her with no living relatives that she’s aware of.
  
  Career: Mace went to Sandhurst at the same time as Fee and Will but was in a different “company” so knows Fee better, because elements of their specialist training overlapped. After having pushed the limits of the harmony guidelines by doing more operational tours than she could count, she was brought to Colby’s attention by way of her partnership with Fee just when TEAR needed to acquire a second team leader to take over for Will as he is undergoing promotion to Major. (The harmony guidelines that govern how many operational tours an officer is allowed to do within a certain amount of time)

  King's Cross is the southern terminus of the East Coast Main Line, providing high speed inter-city services to Yorkshire, the North East and Scotland. Virgin Trains East Coast is the main inter-city operator with destinations including Leeds, Newcastle and Edinburgh. Other inter-city operators serving the station include Hull Trains and Grand Central.
  
  King's Cross is also a terminus for Great Northern which provides commuter services to North London, Hertfordshire, Cambridgeshire, Bedfordshire and Norfolk. Immediately to the west across Pancras Road is St Pancras International, the London terminus of Eurostar services to continental Europe. The two stations share King's Cross St. Pancras tube station on the London Underground network and taken together form one of Britain's biggest transport hubs. The station is 820 yards (750 m) north-east of Euston, the southern terminus for the West Coast Main Line.

conversations.value: The appearance of German bombers in the skies over London during the afternoon of September 7, 1940 heralded a tactical shift in Hitler's attempt to subdue Great Britain. During the previous two months, the Luftwaffe had targeted RAF airfields and radar stations for destruction in preparation for the German invasion of the island. With invasion plans put on hold and eventually scrapped, Hitler turned his attention to destroying London in an attempt to demoralize the population and force the British to come to terms. At around 4:00 PM on that September day, 348 German bombers escorted by 617 fighters
  Sept. 7, 1940 - the beginning of the
  London Blitz
  blasted London until 6:00 PM. Two hours later, guided by the fires set by the first assault, a second group of raiders commenced another attack that lasted until 4:30 the following morning.
  
  This was the beginning of the Blitz - a period of intense bombing of London and other cities that continued until the following May. For the next consecutive 57 days, London was bombed either during the day or night. Fires consumed many portions of the city. Residents sought shelter wherever they could find it - many fleeing to the Underground stations that sheltered as many as 177,000 people during the night. In the worst single incident, 450 were killed when a bomb destroyed a school being used as an air raid shelter. Londoners and the world were introduced to a new weapon of terror and destruction in the arsenal of twentieth century warfare. The Blitz ended on May 11, 1941 when Hitler called off the raids in order to move his bombers east in preparation for Germany's invasion of Russia.

conversations.value: The laughing owl (Sceloglaux albifacies), also known as whēkau or the white-faced owl, was an endemic owl of New Zealand. Plentiful when European settlers arrived in New Zealand, a scientific description was published in 1845, but it was largely or completely extinct by 1914. The species belonged to the monotypic genus Sceloglaux ("scoundrel owl", probably because of the mischievous-sounding calls).

conversations.value: The Waitaha penguin (Megadyptes waitaha) is an extinct species of New Zealand penguin discovered in November 2008.
  
  The new species was discovered by University of Otago and University of Adelaide[2] scientists comparing the foot bones of 500-year-old, 100-year-old and modern specimens of penguins. They were initially believed to have all belonged to the yellow-eyed penguin (Megadyptes antipodes), a species that has been threatened since human settlement. However, the 500-year-old subfossil bones yielded different DNA. According to lead researcher Sanne Boessenkool, Waitaha penguins "were around 10% smaller than the yellow-eyed penguin. The two species are very closely related, but we can't say if they had a yellow crown."[3] "Our findings demonstrate that yellow-eyed penguins on mainland New Zealand are not a declining remnant of a previous abundant population, but came from the subantarctic relatively recently and replaced the extinct Waitaha penguin," said team member Dr Jeremy Austin, deputy director of the Australasian Centre for Ancient DNA.[4]
  
  As the local Māori people have no record of this different species,[3] it is estimated to have perished between c. 1300 and 1500, soon after Polynesian settlers arrived in New Zealand.[5] While it is currently unclear precisely how the species became extinct, Boessenkool says they were probably eaten by the settlers. "The fact we find these bones in archaeological sites, villages or settlements, suggests hunting played a role. The birds were an easy target, easy to take and there were never very many of them."[3] After their extinction, their range was occupied by yellow-eyed penguins, previously most abundant in the subantarctic islands further south. The decrease in sea lion populations after human settlement may also have eased their expansion. Another coauthor, Dr Phil Seddon, said "these unexpected results highlight ... the dynamic nature of ecosystem change, where the loss of one species may open up opportunities for the expansion of another."[6] The report was published in the scientific journal Proceedings of the Royal Society B.[1]

  Languages: Some Persian (Farsi/Dari) picked up from operational duties.
  
  Family Background: Mother was an American in the diplomatic service, Father a British Officer. Both her parents died in an auto accident when Fee was 14. Her family was living in America at the time. Fee manage to gain emancipated minor status with help from a family friend, Skye, so that she could return to the UK for her schooling. She has one younger sister, Morgan, to whom she is legal guardian. Morgan lived with Skye until Hurricane Katrina intervened.
  
  Career Notes: Capbadge: RE, Explosive Ordance Disposal; currently “offically” attached to 22 SAS as support personnel. Upon entering Sandhurst, she met and befriended the then Officer Cadets William Bennett and Sarah "Mace" Graham. As course mates, their paths crisscrossed each other throughout their respective training and tours of duty.
  
  Along the way, she's completed 3 tours of Afghanistan, thrashing Harmony Guidelines to hell and back - the last tour and a half was spent on the ground with the SF taskforce and has picked up an interesting set of skills as a result. Favours the Sig Sauer P229 and dislikes the SA80 L2 she was previously stuck with.
  
  Fee found herself attached to the singularity project in late 2008 as a result of horse trading by her mentor. She first entered the project as the support platoon's lieutenant, before stepping up to the 2IC's slot. As a result of recent manning issues, she's found herself covering the Officer Commanding's post, but she doesn't have the rank to hold it in her own right yet (from Feb 2012 to present).
  
  Personal Notes: Pagan, fond of high-explosives and motorbikes with a devious sense of humour. Bisexual, but leaning heavily toward lesbian.

  Personality: Mace loves making things blow up -- and she likes it even better if she generally isn’t going to get jailed for doing so. She likes to play with her weapons and work out. She has a fondness for music and cooking. And loves to drag her team-mates out to embarrass themselves at karaoke.  Mace rides a motorbike, a Ducati Streetfighter S, at high speeds and likes doing the repairs to it by herself. When she was younger she wanted to be a racer but both her parents and brother were not on board with that idea.  
  
  Family: Mace’s mother remarried when she was young.  There was a nine year gap in age between her and her older brother.  She may have sometimes idolized her older brother, but also would say he was a right pain in the ass about her sometimes.  While there wasn’t any animosity between the siblings, Mace did legally change her name back to her mother’s maiden name when she became an adult.  Both of her parents are now deceased, leaving her with no living relatives that she’s aware of.
  
  Career: Mace went to Sandhurst at the same time as Fee and Will  but was in a different “company” so knows Fee better, because elements of their specialist training overlapped. After having pushed the limits of the harmony guidelines by doing more operational tours than she could count, she was brought to Colby’s attention by way of her partnership with Fee just when TEAR needed to acquire a second team leader to take over for Will as he is undergoing promotion to Major.  (The harmony guidelines that govern how many operational tours an officer is allowed to do within a certain amount of time)

conversations.value: Corporal Rachel Barrington, AGC Royal Military Police (RMP)
  Age 29
  Appearance: 5’8” Tall, with a smooth sun-browned complexion and chestnut brown hair and eyes.
  Languages: English & Afrikaans
  Family Background: From South Africa.  Rachel grew up near a game preserve with her parents doing missionary work nearby.  She's the family black sheep because she's an atheist. 
  Career Notes: The first of Fee’s Valkyries was an accidental acquisition on her part.  Capbadged AGC (RMP), she had specialised further, completing SIB training before her last deployment. She was assigned to Fee’s fledgling team to “collect the evidence”. Fee originally wanted to turn her OC down flat, when he instructed her to take Rachel along for the ride - but he convinced Fee to take her on as repayment for expunging an incident you’ll have to ask her about, involving the local infantry unit and a massive prank.  With Fee's knack for getting involved in Special Forces ops in theatre, the RMP corporal seemed to make a sensible addition to her team to allow for evidence collection. Rachel's a damn good shot, and would be an excellent candidate for sniper training. She’s good at reading body language and ground-sign, having practiced on the wildlife she grew up around and the skill has translated well.
  Personal Notes: She got herself into hot water with her family for falling in love young with a local boy.  They married when they were 18 but he died tragically at age 23.  Her family said “I told you so” and she moved to the UK to escape them all.  She’s still in touch with her in-laws and visits them regularly as her father-in-law runs the game preserve and was the one who taught Rach how to track and shoot. Spits and swears in her husband's native tongue.  At the moment, she is just not interested in replacing him;  she still loves him profoundly and six years after his death still mourns him.

conversations.value: Sergeant Lillian “Lily” Graves, EOD
  Age: 26 
  Appearance: blond hair, blue eyes, fair skin, looks like a porcelain doll, but the look is completely deceiving.  She’s an inch or two taller than Jess at most, so call it 5’ 3”. 
  Languages: English & Hebrew
  Family notes: Holds dual Israeli & British citizenship. Her mum's a second generation Zionist and her grandparents were part of the original Zionists that participated in the 40 days war.  Lily spent a good deal of her childhood climbing trees and picking oranges in Haifa with her brothers and grandparents while her parents were stationed elsewhere.  She’s nominally Jewish - but right on the Liberal end with a background knowledge in Kabbalah.  She recognizes something of what Fee believes but it doesn't entirely line up with anything she's ever seen before.  Lily asked some rather pointed questions of Fee when they got to discussing religion, but she knows that there are many paths and that Fee’s chosen one is still a good one, so she generally leaves it alone.  (Poking your CO about religion could be a bit like poking the hornet’s nest, at least when the CO in question is Fee.)
  Career Notes: Lily choose to go EOD after doing her required two years’ service in the Israeli armed forces as part of an engineering unit. She did not however choose to have to put up with idiots, and was somewhat vocal about it. She was within a hairsbreadth of being RTU’d from her attachment to the taskforce when Fee needed a second for a quiet <i>errand</i>. They worked well enough together, that where Fee shows up, Lily soon follows - mostly because Lily listens to her. Most of the time.  She and the resident hardware geek, Diane Lachlan, get along fabulously  ("Don't throw that wire out! Look what I can make from it.....")
  Personal Notes: She's an adrenaline junky; hence the bomb disposal. Hang-glides as a hobby as well as being proficient in the Israeli martial art of Krav Maga. She has a long-standing family history of military service AND of in-subordination (but normally for good reason). It appears that it runs in the family if her father and brother are anything to go by.  Her parents are currently both stationed in Cyprus and she's got 2 brothers, one older one younger, who are also both in service.  
  Having grown up with two brothers in a navy family, she can give as good as she gets.  
  Lily has an obsession with things that go boom, born from having grown up in Israel near Haifa.  Much to her parents bemusement, she went army and NCO rather than Navy.

If it is overactive then the vagus nerve can take too much blood away from the brain, causing a loss of consciousness. Over stimulation of the vagal nerve can also be triggered if a person is 'squeamish' i.e. they may pass out at the sight of blood.
  
  You'll most likely feel dizzy, nauseous and as if you have a head rush. Your hearing may feel 'muffled' and your eyesight blurry or even tunnel-like. You may try to articulate that something is wrong, but the words come out garbled. Don't worry, this is just a result of your brain not having enough blood, but once you return to consciousness this will right itself. You will also most likely feel hot at first, but then cool and clammy once you wake up. Don't try to get up right away but relax for a while, have a little water and get some cool, fresh air.

conversations.value: Wing Commander Roland Robert Stanford Tuck DSO, DFC & Two Bars, AFC (1 July 1916 – 5 May 1987) was a British fighter pilot and test pilot. 
  
  Tuck joined the Royal Air Force (RAF) in 1935 and first engaged in combat during the Battle of France, over Dunkirk, claiming his first victories. 
  
  In September 1940 he was promoted to squadron leader and commanded a Hawker Hurricane squadron. In 1941–1942, Tuck participated in fighter sweeps over northern France.
  
  In January 1941, Tuck was awarded the Distinguished Service Order (DSO) and the citation published in the London Gazette reads:
  "Acting Squadron Leader Roland Robert Stanford TUCK, D.F.C. (37306), No. 257 Squadron. This officer has commanded his squadron with great success, and his outstanding leadership, courage and skill have been reflected in its high morale and efficiency. Since 4 October 1940, he has destroyed four hostile aircraft, bringing his total victories to at least eighteen."
  
  In March 1941, Tuck was awarded a second bar to his DFC,[18] the citation published in the London Gazette reading:
  "Acting Squadron Leader Roland Robert Stanford TUCK, D.S.O., D.F.C. (37306), No. 257 Squadron.  This officer has displayed conspicuous gallantry and initiative in searching for and attacking enemy raiders, often in adverse weather conditions. Since December, 1940, he has destroyed three enemy bombers and one fighter, thus bringing his total victories to twenty two."
  
  On 28 January 1942, he was hit by anti-aircraft fire, was forced to land in France, and was taken prisoner. At the time of his capture, Tuck had claimed 29 enemy aircraft destroyed, two shared destroyed, six probably destroyed, six damaged and one shared damaged

conversations.value: Located 35 miles south of Tel Aviv, Ashkelon is a city situated on the Mediterranean coast.
  
  From the Canaanite era (2000-1200 B.C.), Ashkelon is the oldest and largest seaport known in Israel. The thriving Middle Bronze Age (2000-1550 B.C.) metropolis covered more than 150 acres. Commanding ramparts and the oldest arched city gate in the world, which still stands two stories high, protected the city.
  
  From the Philistine era (1175-604 B.C.), Ashkelon continued to thrive as a member of the Philistine pentapolis. Ongoing excavations focus on the 10th/11th centuries, the days of Samson and Delilah. In 604, the Babylonian King Nebuchadnezzar sacked and burned the city, leaving us a snapshot of the city's busy marketplace, one of the only commercial quarters uncovered in the Iron Age.
  
  From the Roman and Byzantine era, independent Ashkelon became the most honored city in the region. Its new urban plan was ornamented by a forum surrounded by public buildings festooned with the finest statuary east of Ephesus. The city fathers established detailed zoning laws that balanced public and private needs to the extent that Ashkelon became the model for centuries of Byzantine city planners. "Truly there is a pinnacle for everything," said one ancient writer, "and the pinnacle for greater Syria is Ashkelon."

conversations.value: The Irgun was a Zionist paramilitary organization that operated in Mandate Palestine between 1931 and 1948. Irgun members were absorbed into the Israel Defense Forces at the start of the 1948 Arab–Israeli war. The Irgun is also referred to as Etzel (אצ"ל), an acronym of the Hebrew initials, or by the abbreviation IZL.
  
  The Irgun was a political predecessor to Israel's right-wing Herut party, which led to today's Likud party. Likud has led or been part of most Israeli governments since 1977.
  
  The Irgun policy was based on what was then called Revisionist Zionism founded by Ze'ev Jabotinsky. According to Howard Sachar, "The policy of the new organization was based squarely on Jabotinsky's teachings: every Jew had the right to enter Palestine; only active retaliation would deter the Arabs; only Jewish armed force would ensure the Jewish state".
  
  The Irgun has been viewed as a terrorist organization or organization which carried out terrorist acts. Specifically the organization "committed acts of terrorism and assassination against the British, whom it regarded as illegal occupiers, and it was also violently anti-Arab".  Two of the operations for which the Irgun is best known are the bombing of the King David Hotel in Jerusalem on 22 July 1946 and the Deir Yassin massacre, carried out together with Lehi on 9 April 1948.

conversations.value: A Zionist paramilitary group that splintered off Irgun in 1940 hoping to evict the British from Palestine so Jews could form a Jewish state. During WWII they sought an alliance with Italy & Germany against Britain in return for the transfer of all Jews to Palestine. Lehi & Irgun were responsible for the massacre in Deir Yassin & assassinated British Minister Residence, Lord Moyne. In May 1948, having agreed to join the IDF, Lehi formally disbanded. Israel granted a general amnesty to all Lehi members on 14 February 1949.

conversations.value: There are both positive and negative psychological effects of solitude. Much of the time, these effects and the longevity is determined by the amount of time a person spends in isolation. The positive effects can range anywhere from more freedom to increased spirituality, while the negative effects are socially depriving and may trigger the onset of mental illness. 
  
  A benefit to time given in solitude is the development of self. When a person spends time in solitude from others, they may experience changes to their self-concept. This can also help a person to form or discover their identity without any outside distractions. Solitude also provides time for contemplation, growth in personal spirituality, and self-examination. In these situations, loneliness can be avoided as long as the person in solitude knows that they have meaningful relations with others.
  
  Too much solitude is not always considered beneficial. Many of the negative effects have been observed in prisoners.

conversations.value: Excavation of Grid 20, investigatied the Snake Tower on the walls of Ashkelon, under the leadership of Professor Denys Pringle from Cardiff University. The aim is to excavate the interior of the tower with the possibility of obtaining a stratigraphical sequence covering all phases of the walls’ construction and occupation. The excavation will be important for understanding the plan of the tower and its phases of construction, occupation, abandonment and destruction, and thereby contribute to a fuller understanding of the history of Ashkeon’s medieval defences and Crusader occupation of the city. The results of the excavation will contribute to Professor Pringle's broader investigation of the walls of Ashkelon.

The unit helps to reduce friction and develop amicable working relations,so as to enable the IDF to fulfill its duties and to achieve its goals.
  The Unit is responsible for advising the IDF General Staff, the regional commanders, IDF units, and even governmental authorities on matters concerning foreign forces. Other important aspects of the Unit's mission are to participate in the negotiations of cease-fire agreements and delineation of lines, as well as matters concerning locating soldiers missing in action and prisoner exchanges. The Unit also provides foreign forces with information about the IDF Units with whom they may be interacting.

conversations.value: In the British Army, the Quartermaster (QM) is the officer in a battalion or regiment responsible for supply. By longstanding tradition, he or she is always commissioned from the ranks and holds the rank of captain or major. Some units also have a Technical Quartermaster, who is in charge of technical stores. The Quartermaster is assisted by the Regimental Quartermaster Sergeant (RQMS) and a staff of storemen. The QM, RQMS and storemen are drawn from the regiment or corps in which they work, not from the Royal Logistic Corps, which is responsible for issuing and transporting supplies to them. Units which specialize in supply are known as "supply" units, not "quartermaster" units, and their personnel as "log specs"
