Here\'s one: What holds the links to the back of the hand?

I'm sure in real life it's some sort of double faced tape. What what holds 'em on there in the B5 universe? Some sort of bio-mimetic adhesive superduper DNA encoded poly-dura peptide?

Seriously, is it ever explained?

Oh, and if anyone has a nice clean WAV of the link sound, I'd like it for my ICQ...

As a matter of fact, yes.

And it is discussed in the series a couple of times, including once when someone discovers that a link's been tampered with precisely because it has a conventional adhesive on it.

LOL! I figured that was the sci-fi method! I was waiting for somebody to say, "Don't you notice the jars of rubber cement all over the place?"
