With a smile on his face Durant read the note from the Med Staff. Good to see the kid is going to make it. "Doc Donovan, looks like you worked your magic again, Monotya should be back with us in a few days."

Durant listens to Leonard's questions, waiting for him to finish before responding. "Sounds good to me Campbell. I'll have a few items for you to conger up myself. We could use a couple of things to bring the group up to full strength."

Looking over the rest of the group, who were obviously eager to dig into their new gear, Durant made a few final announcements. "All right gang, I will be on the back porch going over duty rosters for the unit. Feel free to stop by if you need me. Everyone is going to take some time on the firearms course with the base instructors. If you are already magnificently proficient with your personal weapon of choice, I still want you to get some range time with our issued firearms. We will also be making a trip over to examine this Stargate. We will do this together like a big field trip. No one sneaks a peak before hand. This is not Christmas morning."

Durant stops talking for a moment and that appears to be all it takes to provoke most of the occupants of the room to begin making their way to the storage crates. "One last thing people. For anyone that cares, we are now SG-28, the Live Volcano."

Jeremiah walks up to Durant,"Um sir, I would like to make sure that I can quite a bit of time on the range. I have not fired a gun other then a starting pistol in my life and I don't want my inabilities with my firearm being a detriment to the group as a whole. Thanks. Also is there anyway that I can get plugged into the data that we have existing about the Stargate so I can get some basic knowledge of it beforehand so I can make sure we arrive home safely."

After the briefing, as everyone began getting their gear, Andreev walked back to Durant. He gestured with his right hand, holding the manila envelope he had recieved during the earlier breifing, and said, "Commander, I am going to see if the young Doctor Nguyen is ready, and I will fill her in on the details of the briefing. Also, I would like to speak with her about the Stargate to see what kinds of thoughts or ideas she has about it. Is there anything else you will need me to take care of after that? If not, I will be brushing up on my firearms training along with many of the others..."

Durant began to loosen up the collar on his uniform as everyone got up from the table. "Grayson, you can meet with me on the porch as soon as I get changed. I will be going over what we have so far and you can check it out with me."

As he turned to leave, Andreev had a few questions for Durant. "Yeah, I am actually a little concerned for her. Somebody should check on her, probably anyone but me would be a good choice. We could really use her insight on this, too. And you my friend, are the most qualified to figure out whatever she is talking about." Durant then slapped Andreev on the back. "But don't be gone too long, wouldn't want Lt. Reed to start getting jealous."

At this, Andreev let out a loud laugh, and actually looked around to see where Reed had gone. "Yes, my friend, I will need to find some time to spend with the Lieutenant. But, business before pleasure. If there is anything you need, let me know." He clapped a hand on Durant's shoulder, and then walked out the room, heading towards Doctor Nguyen's room.

"Very well, Sir. Live Vulcano, sounds impressive enough. I'll first check what it is that they gave us to work with." Leonard turns to the rest of their gathered crew. "Okay, everyone. Come see me when you want to collect your equipment. This will be almost like Christmas. Lucas, Rylee?" With a smile, Leonard walks over to common room where the boxes were dropped. He quickly opens all of them, taking stocks of what's in each of them. Hmm, names are already on them. That's nice. Okay, it seems like they've got all of the basics covered. Oh, the weaponry. Heavy stuff... I'll leave them for the Commander to distribute.

"Okay, who's up first?"

After several hours, Andreev left Lorelai Nguyen's room. Andreev's mind was still trying to grasp some of the theoretical information that Lorelai passed on. As for Lorelai herself, Andreev still wasn't certain what was going on with the woman. Obviously, she was eager to investigate this Stargate with the others and she was confident in her abilities, but she steadfastly refused to go with then in two days time. She even said that she would train in firearms with Lt. Terrell (who wasn't in the room at the time). The woman was stubborn, of that there was no doubt - and if she wasn't going to say what was going on, Andreev wasn't certain anyone would ever know.

OOC: Andreev Ilianov

Durant began to loosen up the collar on his uniform as everyone got up from the table. "Grayson, you can meet with me on the porch as soon as I get changed. I will be going over what we have so far and you can check it out with me."

As Durant exited the accomodations onto the back porch of the building, the first thing he noticed was the sheer numberof guards on this compound. There were the obvious guards patrolling the perimeter of the relatively small yard of the building. Then, there were the guards which appeared to be doing something else but were watching the routes coming twoard the accomodations for trouble. Major General Easton apparently wasn't taking any chances and seemed to have some redundant patrols in place - either that or he expected trouble.

Durant's observations were interrupted by the back door opening again. But it wasn't Grayson out to speak with him but Lt. Stewart. Stewart nodded toward Durant and said, "Sir, I was curious about Lt's Reed, Terrell and myself. Are we staying one with the team or being returned to our duties? Personally, I would like to stay on with the team, in some capacity. That is, if you'll have me, sir."

OOC: Durant, (all)

Durant looked up to see Lt. Stewart enter the porch. "I hadn't really thought about that. I haven't received orders for any of you to leave, so I guess we need to make use of you. Might need to be as support staff since we have quite a few "experts" we need to baby sit. So as far as I'm concerned, Welcome aboard." Durant stuck his hand out to shake Stewart's. "It will be good to have another pair of hands around that I am already certain of what they can do." Durant had to admit, having Stewart with the group made him feel a bit more comfortable with things.

He quickly got back to work, scribbling down a note for Campbell asking for one shotgun with ammunition as well as combat knives for everyone. Can't believe they sent us survival packs without combat knives.

After picking up his equipment from Leonard and stowing it away quickly Jeremiah will make his way out to meet with Durant.

"Commander," Jeremiah says as he exits the building onto the porch to announce his arrival.
