Having read "The Jovian Wetgrave" I was wondering if there's any more information on the bad things which could happen to someone in a pod? In the story the lieutenant undergoes Mindlock, but what pray tell was wetgraving and it's cause related to the pod? Can a mind-locked individual be re-inserted in a pod and control starships? Why would someone suddenly die in the pod? Are there any answers?

I doubt they can be re-inserted. And if they could, they would most likely succumb to psychosis after months of being connected.

another mishap i have in one of my rough drafts is a "Late Burn."
Its when your little happy brain scanner for some reason or another fails to kill you before you die in the pod and your kinda killed in the vaccum of space. And maybe like a second or two of playing in the vaccum of space naked and being irradated by your ships debris field the burner finally goes off with that memory intact.
so in effect you really do die instead of being transfered, but when your downloaded into your clone one would suffer a sorts of shock and then the person would go all EMO....

Or babbel in sentences like:
"There is no purpose in life, only death!"
"Only those having seen and felt the true darkness, know about the universe!"
"I've seen the abyss that is death and returned! Don't pity me, for now I can truly laugh!"

When you trash a character, your corpmates receive a mail about a "cloning mishap". Late Burn could well be one of those mishaps.
Mind you, to die in the vaccuum of space takes around a minute. If it's because of a direct weapon hit that breached the pod, chances are that the burner got crushed as well. It's because of this that when the pod reaches low structural integrity, it releases a neurotoxin, does the flash and self-destructs.

sure your right...however if its an decompress people useually have good concieous times of at most 15 secs...for explosive decompressions there is a shock and startle effect to the body...which cuts the time down to 3 to 8 secs.
Once you get knocked out....it really doesnt matter if your body survies 15 secs or 90 secs.

A "Late Burn" could be an effect where a scanner goes off but sometime too far after death and permanent neural damage has set in (so you still lose skills, possibly your neural circuits are permanently damaged forever). You could also have a "Mis-burn" where the scanner 'misses' a large section of the cranium - so for example one half of your brain gets regenerated and the other half receives whatever noise was on the other end. But none of this stuff is really 'pod related' - it's not the plethora of bad pod related things, rather it's clone related things.
Currently all I can think of are whacky psychological effects. Pod-mares where you get stuck in terrifying dreams but can't be extracted without brain damage until the dream runs its course. Ship/Body dissociation where even outside the pod you seem to experience what the ship feels when you're near it, that sort of thing.

Wetgraving and Mind-Lock are synonymous. They describe the same phenomenon.
There's a bunch of things that could go wrong with cloning, too. Canonically, E-ON issue 1 described such a thing. If a clone develops a kind of pseudo-personality (though dreaming and whatnot) before it recieves a person's neural imprint, then you can end up with a clone containing two people in one brain - a person that is incurably insane.

What good are actions if there's no one to tell the tale afterward?

however the clone system isnt perfect, the Perelles Incident proves that you cant be brain scanned if something happens between stargates.

The story was awesome. But still, clone issues != pod issues, which is what I'm interested in.
