[QUOTE="crazy_monkey1956, post: 4697949, member: 49514"] [B]DARPA HQ, VA[/B] Allison laughs, "Well of course its about qualifications, silly. I was just trying to drum up some excitement." Donald Wilson, sitting next to Nathan, mutters, "Way to thrill kill, Abrahms. Why don't you try [I]not[/I] being negative for once." Allison, ever the bubbly happy-go-lucky sort, continues, "As for who is qualified, the military is looking for someone who can take the physical demands of the position." Another voice from the back, "That's discrimination! Just because Janice and I are wheelchair bound, that doesn't mean..." Allison interrupts, "I'm sorry, but the military actually does have the legal right to demand physically fit folks. Second, they want someone who can take orders." Donald smirks mean-spiritedly at Nathan, "That rules you out, Abrahms." [B]Cedar Springs Mental Health Facility, Colorado Springs, Colorado[/B] Michaels watches Connor closely, "To put it bluntly, Mr. Lang, I have a job opportunity for you." Doctor Wellsly interjects, "Oh, Connor isn't really able to..." Michaels interrupts, "We think he is able, doctor. We think he's a lot more able than he lets on. What do you think, Mr. Lang?" [B]Canberra, Australia[/B] Jackson responds with a smile, "To the airport, after you get yourself ready to go. The project in question is classified at the top levels of the US government, so we can't really talk about it here." Hayes steeples his fingers in annoyance, "Not even I know what this is about." Jackson seems a little too smooth, like someone who knows a few too many secrets and enjoys the power that gives him. [B]Incirlik, Turkey[/B] Dawson hands Max a manilla folder with several files in it. The files are about something called Project: Shadowgate. "As you are probably aware, your father was part of a rather fringe element of the archaeological community that was searching for Atlantis. As you are also aware, your father has been unable to talk about his current position with the government for the past seven years. Your father was part of an underwater archaeological dig in the Caribbean in 2002 that uncovered what he believed was an artifcat of Atlantean origin. Since then, we've been figuring out how it works. Unfortunately, about a month ago, when we first activated the device, an alien enemy force emerged, taking hostages back through the portal generated by the device, including your mother." Dawson pauses at this moment to guage Max's reactions. [B]Somewhere in the Ozarks[/B] The air force fellow, a lieutenant, retrieves the backpack and answers Howie's question, "We have our methods. We need you for an important mission. You'll be briefed en route. Right now, we need you to get in this helicoptor, no questions asked." [/QUOTE]
