As Rylee stood there, keeping watch over the lava, she took a brief inventory of the situation. In a very hot room, underground, with no fresh air or sunshine to be seen. The others were several feet away, messing with some device that was supposed to take them to another world, or something; but, if they didn't go to another world, they would either get eaten by a group of snake creatures who considered molten lava a comfortable environment, or get shot at by a group of badguys who seemed to have it out for them. Well- scratch that, ANOTHER group of bad guys. At least she did not leave her comfortable mountain home to be bored.

She was surprised at how quickly one of the pools of lava cooled, and she tried to remember how many snakes had been in there. It was amazing how quickly the heat messed with one's memory.Then, she heard the humming. She thought briefly about drawing clser to investigate, but qickly decided against it. Taking a few steps back, she turned her head to quickly look at the others, before looking back at the humming pool. "Durant? Something's going on with this lava pool. Its... humming"

Durant directed Lt. Reed to distribute the flammables they had to best cover the lava pools. Things seemed to be going well, for the moment. He was not foolish enough to belive things were actually going to calm down, let alone go their way. Fisher, Donovan and Stewart were instructed to bring the gear over so they would have it handy when it was time to enter the gate. Ilianov was talking about an explosive opening of the gate but got quickly vague when Durant asked him what he meant by 'explosive.'
Another few minutes and they should be well on their way to another world.

"Durant? Something's going on with this lava pool. Its... humming"

Turning to see what Rylee was talking about Durant saw that one of the lava pools was very quickly cooling and becoming solid.
Wasn't that thing volcano-hot just a minute ago?

"Grayson. Fisher. Either of you have any insight on this?"

"I will try and see what is going on, sir." Jeremiah looks to Durant as he says this and moves back to the pit of the large lizards, as he moves he picks up a few of the flammables to take with him.

"We have some of the flammables you asked us to bring." Jeremiah switching back into the harsh gutteral language was invigorating to him. "Do you know the address to your home?" As he spoke again the world faded and all he and the lava pools were all that were.

Hearing Durant's question, Lucas quickly made his way down from the grating to stand beside the DHD. He listened closely to the humming sound emitting from the lava.

"Odd." He said simply. "I've not heard anything quite like that before. I guess it could be the lava cooling, although it just doesn't sound right. That said, I'm by no means an expert on the behaviour of lava. From a survival standpoint, staying as far away from superheated rock as possible is all you really need to know."

As Lucas got closer to the cooling lava pool, he felt a vibration beneath his feet. It was becoming ever so slightly stronger, and it was intermittently stronger and weaker, with breaks in between frequently.

The humming seemed to be pressurized gases . . . but it could be the vibration in the stone becoming sound . . . much like a tuning fork.

*******************************************


Jeremiah spoke out to the lava pool that the largest of the creatures had entered. Nothing seemed to happen for several moments . . . then the color of the lava (before reds and oranges) turned to paler oranges and yellows. Gases hissed from the pool and the lava became more liquid.

*******************************************

Rylee also began to feel the vibrations . . .

OOC: All . . . heh, heh, heh . . .

"Lorelai? Dial whatever damn address you were given, and get the gate open!" Lucas calls urgently.

"We're really not going to want to be here in a few moments. I think the lava is about to erupt..."

Durant looked across the room at the lava pools and the changes coming over them. The rumbling of the room did not sit well, but then again he was dealing with alien creatures and about to travel instantly to another world. But if the team survivalist was worried, this could not be a good thing.

"Everyone get over here, now! Form up on this DVD...eh, thing."

Jeremiah continues at the top of his voice trying to communicate with the creatures again. As the rumbling begins he starts to stomp his feet hoping they can pick up the vibrations.

Andreev took everything in peripherally as he continued to work with Lorelai on the Stargate. Things seemed to be going smoothly, and everything seemed to be working as he remembered it would in the plans. However, both Lucas' call to Lorelai, as well as Craig's command to form up at the Stargate caused him to double his efforts, all the while attempting to maintain a state of focus. He certainly did not want to make any mistakes that may lead them all to some sort of disaster. Andreev worked quickly and carefully to get the Stargate online and ready to go...

"Everyone get over here, now! Form up on this DVD...eh, thing."

"Yes, sir!" Donovan replied. He grabbed his pack, and one of the other packs they had lowered down and moved carefully to the DHD.
