"You know I'm not turning down a drink, did you say something about bringing some vodka with you?" Durant then walked over to the map of the base on the ready room wall and was quiet for a few minutes. This was a bold step, even for him. Leading a team of civilians on diplomatic missions to other worlds, while aliens tried to kill them. Yeah, not your normal walk in the park. But there were other Stargate teams (Need to make a note to get a roster of the other teams, see if there is anyone I know on any of them.) and they had been doing this for a while, no reason he couldn't. No need to reinvent the wheel, most of the protocols already existed, but an untrained team...that worried him.

"Well I am sure the others are going crazy waiting to hear what we found out. Best to head back and update them. We are going to have to cut off all outside communication, can't risk being tracked down. Given 2 or 3 days I could throw together some team-building exercises to run the group through, but I don't think we have that kind of time. These guys are going to have to understand how much they need one another. We go through another cluster like the one back at the airfield and we'll all be dead on some unnamed world."

Durant led Andreev over to the door. "I am going to be relying on you alot. You know how I work, but you know how these others think too. You are going to be this unit's glue until we can get on our feet. If you have any ideas on building teamwork and trust in a short time to a bunch of stubborn, prodigal scientists, I'm all ears. Let's go fill the kids in and take a trip over to see this damn Stargate."

Before he lost sight of Major Davis, Durant called out to him. "Excuse me Major, what's this unit's call sign?"

Andreev nodded to Durant, and smiled. "You have my support, Craig, you know that. Anything you need, please let me know, and I will assist you as best I can. And, yes, I agree. Now is the time to fill in the others on what we have heard this morning. Then, perhaps I should go over the contents of this envelope with the young Doctor Nguyen, to see what she and I can make of the technology. In all fairness, this type of space travel seems more her specialty than mine, so we may be able to glean some useful knowledge from her about this Stargate."

As they headed for the door, his smile became a mischevious grin. "Tonight, we will catch up over some of the finest vodka you have ever tasted! I still need to thank you for sending as my escourt the beautiful Lt. Reed."

It doesn't take long to realize that the accomodations provided by the base had a full kitchen. The kitchen was well stocked with the basics in anticipation of occupancy.

In fact, the group seemed drawn to the kitchen from the smell of bacon as they neared the room. Inside the sizable room, Lt. Stewart was manning the stove and frying some eggs and bacon while Lt. Reed was sitting at a large twelve-person table, empty plate in front of her, reading a magazine.

"Anyone else want to take over here," Stewart asked, "cause this breakfast is mine!" He said possessively with a smile.

"Seems like they provided everything inside this building - almost like we're not allowed to leave," Reed commented.

"Well, the Pentagon has dubbed the operation LV, Live Volcano, but hasn't designated a unit call sign for your team. Since you're not officially an SG team, there's no need to use their designations - though you're most likely SG-28 for purposes of your reports," Major Davis said. "The unit call sign I suppose can be up to you and your team."

Leonard walks into the kitchen a little late, freshly showered and sharply dressed in his army uniform. He smiles at the people already there. "Morning everyone. I hope you left some coffee for me?"

As he pours himself a cup, Leonard realizes that it's costing him quite a bit of trouble to keep his happy face up. He hadn't slept all that well, plagued by dreams of the team falling apart. Somehow, despite his best efforts, the whole thing had gone terribly wrong. It had ended with various people of their group drawing guns on each other. Not exactly a nice thought to wake up to, considering it was their first real day on the new job... A shower had done him a bit of good though, and it was nice to see most of them together in the kitchen.

Well... best get something done, keep my mind off things. Leonard walks over to the stove, taking the pan from Stewart. "Thanks, Lieutenant. I'll have a go. Smells too good to pass up. "

Jeremiah will start looking around the kitchen to see if he can scare up some pinto beans, some ground beef, and some bread mix which he sets all aside. "Whenever your done , Leonard."

"Err... hmm..." she eyed te stove warily, watching Leonard as he cooked his breakfast on it. It didn't look too hard... actually, the thing did not look too different from the antequated stove that her parents had used. Granted, she'd never actually cooked anything on it. Shaking her head she busied herself in looking for food that did not need to be cooked. Or maybe... perhaps they would allow her to get a good fire going on the grounds outside? She did know how to cook over an open fire.

Lucas notices Rylee's discomfort with the cooker. "What would you like?" He asks her, starting to rummage around for food.

"We've got... eggs, bacon, what may be sausages." He frowns suspiciously at the packet. "Peanut butter, some cereal... you get the idea. I'm going to follow Lt. Stewart's example and have eggs and bacon, so I'm quite happy to cook extra for anyone who wants some."

He grins at the assembled company. "It's not often I get to cook, but it's one of the things I really enjoy. Not that I'm guaranteeing the results will still be edible, mind."

The morning sun was well up in the sky already and outside it promised to be a pleasant day. The base was humming at a soft rumble of activity, oblivious to the occupants of the secure accomodations.

Inside those very accomodations, Lt. Reed tossed the magazine aside and said, "I'll be in the rec room, someone let me know whenever the boys come home from their big meeting. Anyone for a post-breakfast game of pool?"

Lt. Donovan had had to bribe a couple of soldiers to allow him to leave the accomodations and run on the 5 mile course that was just off the barracks of the base. More expensive that he would have liked, but he understood how some things worked on a military base.

Of Lt. Terrell, Krizzel or Lorelai, there was no sign yet this morning. Of course, it was still early - for non-military personnel.

Andreev continued toward the door, and turned to Durant before leaving. "I will gather the others, and prepare them for your briefing. I imagine most will have congregated in the kitchen at this point, so meet me there when you are finished." With that, he left the room.

Finding his way back to the kitchen was no problem. Wonderful smells of breakfast reminded him that he hadn't eaten since yesterday, and as such he followed the aromas until he found their source. He was delighted to see that his speculation was correct. Much of the team was already gathered there, with the exception of Lt. Terrell, Lt. Donovan, Doctor Nguyen and Montoya. Hopefully, Durant would have the time he needed to take care of any other business with Major Davis or Major General Easton while Andreev prepped the team for the briefing. He called quickly to Lt. Reed as she was walking out of the room, "Lt. Reed, a moment, if you please!"

Smiling at everyone as he walked into the room, he began a general announcement, opening with warm morning greetings. "Good morning everyone! I hope you have all managed to get some rest. I know that as of last night, we were all asking ourselves the same questions about this situation. Fortunately, for all of us, the time has come for answers. Commander Durant and myself have just been briefed on the details of our mission. When he returns, the Commander will brief you on what we are doing here. But until he arrives, I will be filling you in on why we are here in the first place."

Looking around and studying their faces as he spoke, he continued, "Before I begin, we need to gather the others for the briefing. Does anyone know of their whereabouts? Also, what is the status of Seargent Montoya?"
