-------------------------------------

Back on the Daedalus, a small, but very important alien was muttering incoherently about something. Everyone around him glanced at him then continued working, sighing and not understanding a word of it. Did I mention his mutterings were incoherent? This was so because the mutterings were in a different language. Asgard, to be specific.

Hermiod was groaning about all the "emails," as the human Novak had called them, that had cropped up on his laptop. Thank god his control panel wasn't overridden with them. All these emails seemed to be focused on one topic only: Guides for new personnel. Hermiod had seen Novak… what was it?… laughing after reading these Guides. Laughing generally meant that something was amusing. As far as Hermiod could tell, nothing was very amusing about these emails. Then again, humans had a rather strange sense of humor…

Hermiod thought these Guides, some of them, were actually well written with advice that could be spread to future generations. On this note, a small light bulb went off in the massive brain of the Asgard. Would it hurt if he wrote some good advice? Nah…

OOO

The Asgard Hitchhiker's Guide to the Pegasus Galaxy

1. Never overestimate your companions.

... a. Many of them are on a lower level of knowledge than you. That is good.

... b. If they are not lower than you, make them be.

2. Do not let your superiors goad you into a position that insults your intelligence.

... a. This is generally not good for your health and sanity.

3. When dealing with Doctor McKay, try to keep your cool.

... a. If you do not, you will only be letting him win in a battle of stupidity.

... b. You do not want someone boasting about how they are better than you if you let them intimidate you.

... c. Your "cool" and infinite ego will make him be quiet in a simple, well phrased statement.

4. Ask humans to define words such as "shit."

... a. It is not part of your language and therefore you do not know how bad "shit" really is.

5. If you are a pacifist, do not get placed on a warship!

... a. This is plain dumb.

... b. If you do manage this, act with every shred of irritation when performing acts of war.

6. Nice humans can be dealt with kindly.

... a. Humans such as Novak, who fight for your position, can be regarded kindly even if she is dumber than us.

... b. This act may improve your status amongst humans and may gain you an ally.

7. Impress the humans endlessly.

... a. Because of your supreme intelligence and importance to a mission, you may ramble off "technobabble" as long as you like.

... b. No one will stop you while you run off what exactly is wrong and how exactly one could fix it.

... c. It is a wonderful feeling.

Hermiod finished his very important Guide and quickly emailed it off to everyone's email he knew. With a brain like his, that was a lot of emails he knew. Hermiod was satisfied by his latest attempt to do well. Actually, satisfied wasn't exactly the correct word. He was… proud of the work he had accomplished.

Maybe now the humans would listen to him after the wise words of advice he had cleverly written. Now he might be able to get his way a little more with their silly and very impatient commander, Colonel Caldwell. If Hermiod had a long enough tongue, he would have stuck it out at the Daedalus and its crew.

So there!

Ok, first off: thank you to all the well-wishers that wished me fun on my trip! I can say that I did have fun. Despite not knowing the langauge and occasionally making a fool of myself because of that failing, I had fun.

We went to Warsaw (the capital), Krakow, Zakopane (its in the mountains), and the lakes region called Mazury. lol, actually in Mazury I got "separated" from an Arabian horse twice in a half hour. Thats a record considering the last time i got spilled off a horse was nine years ago! I'm a pretty good rider, but there were some things about the horse that i didnt know... it was Arabian. That answers mostly why i fell off. Heh...

God... we mostly ate our way through Poland... the food there is sooo good (when not with mushshrooms or onions) and sooo fatty! There was no internet really though... so I did really miss you all! Not only that... but school's starting soon... bah..

Anyway! Hope you liked this chapter as much as you did the last one!
