Disclaimer: Nothing but these emails belong to me... blah blah blah... you know the story
A/N: HUGE appologies for the REALLY slow update, I've had the curse of writers block and exams to contend with. On that note, I'm having trouble with ideas so any ideas you'd like to see me do then send me a mail or add it into your review.
Thanks for all your reviews and most of all your patients!
This is a slightly themed email, watching Dr Who 'The Hungry Earth' and 'Cold Blood' will make this make more sense but its not essential.
What it means to be Welsh
From: Gwen Cooper
To: Jack Harkness
Jack, I've just been looking over the stuff that fell through the rift the other day and found something mentioning the Silures. I done a Google search and all I could find were Roman accounts of Celtic activities.
From: Jack Harkness
To: Gwen Cooper
I'll get Ianto to give you a hand on this, my histories a little bit sketchy around the Roman period. I'll get him to check the archives.
From: Ianto Jones
To: Gwen Cooper
The Silures were a Celtic tribe who roamed around in the south of Wales until the Romans came along and made them all Roman. Venta Silurum was the old name for Caerwent meaning 'Market place of the Silures'.
That's about all I can find out which is of any possible use to you really.
From: Gwen Cooper
To: Ianto Jones
Thanks Ianto. There's nothing in the archives then?
From: Ianto Jones
To: Gwen Cooper
Nope, nothing at all other then some interesting artefacts found at Caerwent during the digs. Turned out it was just space junk anyway.
From: Jack Harkness
To: Gwen Cooper
I knew I'd heard of the Silures before, we had dealings with them when we built the hub. They weren't keen on us digging down so far for the hub. Took quite a lot of persuasion for them to go back to hibernation again.
From: Gwen Cooper
To: Jack Harkness
Ianto just told me that they were the Welsh Celts.
From: Jack Harkness
To: Gwen Cooper
Welsh Celtic lizard people, with bad tempers.
From: Gwen Cooper
To: Jack Harkness
Watch it Jack, I'm native!
From: Jack Harkness
To: Gwen Cooper
So you are. Better get Owen to check you and Ianto are human then.
