I had a lot of time to read sometimes obscure mythology in my childhood, and I remember her being...well, like a lot of greek and roman myths the name pops up a lot, but she was notably a deity associated with the night sky, and prophecy I think, which is a good enough parallel for having a deep connection to finding and applying information. So, it would go in line with my work. And it's one of the few latin and greek names I find pretty that other people wouldn't have difficulty prononucning.
Yeah. And considering I don't think we've always had the chance to give other races a good first impression due to cirucmstances conspiring against us, I think the least we can do is control things well enough so the first time most of humanity finds out we're not alone, they meet our friends. Because we do have them out there, even if sometimes even to me it seems otherwise.
It probably wouldn't be, if reactivating some of it didn't more that occasionally draw the attention of races that have ulterior motives. When we first started experimenting with the Stargates, it--drew the attention of a parasitic race. Which might not have been quite so bad if they had believed in asking consent to use people's bodies. I still think it was worth the cost, in the long run, but I can't forget that people on all sides have died in the quest for knowledge and discovery.
