Fearing for Krizzel's safety, Lucas grabs the cat firmly by the scruff of the neck and shoves it into his own bag.

"I'll keep hold of him for now, at least until we've unloaded." Lucas shoulders his backpack, and goes to stand over by Donovan.

"Any sign of anything?" He asks, squinting at the horizon.

As Durant approached Montoya and the front gate, he noticed the lock was not in place. "How's it look Montoya? Do you think someone messed with it?"

Donovan scanned the area with the binoculars and found the two vehicles on the horizon. He briefly pulled the binocs away from his eyes, and squinted in the early morning sun, confirming their location. At this, he walked over to Durant, and reported his findings. "I can get myself a closer look at 'em, Commander, if you know what I mean."

Durant turned in the direction of the others out this morning. "Don't do anything yet, just keep an eye on them. If it looks like they are headed this way you can slow 'em down, but let me know right away. And keep Fallon with you and keep Stewart or Reed too. I don't know if I'm getting old or paranoid, but I've got that eerie feeling Mr. Murphy is with us this morning."

The gate on the chain link fence had a huge Masterlock padlock locking a heavy chain that was on the gate. On further inspection from Montoya however, he noticed that the chain actually didn’t connect the gate to the rest of the fence, but simply was on the gate itself - impressive looking, but utterly useless for keeping the gate closed.

As Durant approached Montoya and the front gate, he noticed the lock was not in place. "How's it look Montoya? Do you think someone messed with it?"

Montoya took his time and examined the fence, gate, and lock thoroughly, trying to determine if someone had passed this way recently and/or tampered with the lock.

Leonard quietly picked his gear out of the jeep, making sure he's ready to proceed. He stands calmly, staring at the small shack that is supposed to house this stargate, his ticket to foreign cultures.

After Rylee's run-in with Krizzel, he walks over to her and tries to steady her. "Relax, it's just the cat. I'm sure we're all as surprised to find it here. Must be a pretty smart fellow, though..."

Jeremiah buried his head in his readin while the group drove out to the warehouse hoping to get some last minute study in before actually seeing the device so as to be better informed when anyone started asking questions about it.

As he gets ready to leave the vehicle Jeremiah is all smiles, he readies his equipment and makes sure everything is secure. And he tries to suppress a grin as Krizzell is found.

HE then moves over to wars Montoya to be ready to enter.

"Yes, sir," Donovan replied. He went back to the jeep and pulled out his rifle. As he did this, he looked over at Rylee, who was looking a bit pissed about the cat that just swiped at her. "Fallon, the Commander wants you with me, scoping the horizon for unfriendlies. We've got some possible targets out there, so he wants us to stay sharp."

He checked his rifle, and began sighting the horizon. The rifle gave him a much better view than the binocs did, so he studied the group and searched for any signs of hostility.

Montoya took his time and examined the fence, gate, and lock thoroughly, trying to determine if someone had passed this way recently and/or tampered with the lock.

The chain and lock were definitely placed to appear intimidating to those passing through and to casual examinations so its difficult to determine when this occurred. Examining beneath the heavy chain revealed a keypad for an electronic lock. Regardless of the unsecured chain, the gate is firmly locked to the fence through the electronic lock. On closer examination of the fence, it does appear to be electrified . . . and there may be sensors determining the current flow. The gate, however, isn't electrified . . . at least not currently.

The ground beyond the fence appears unused, though with the type of terrain (near desert), it wouldn't take much for the impressions to fade.

A quick check with Durant will provide the code for the keypad.

OOC: Montoya

Donovan viewed the group on the horizon through the scope on his rifle. The group was definitely in camo fatigues and many had slung rifles or side arms. The group gave no indication that it had noticed your group, nor did they appear actively looking for the group. Though that may be just a matter of time . . .

Lt. Stewart joined Lt. Donovan on his watch, though he keep his searching to the grounds the group had passed through to get to the small brick building. Lt. Reed grabed her gear and joined those near Montoya and his examination of the gate. Moments after she arrived, she spoke to Durant, "Sir, there's an active camera on the building facing at the gate. It's well-concealed, but it's there."

Durant had no mention of security cameras on the Warehouse, though the oversight wasn't too surprising.

Krizzel went willingly to Lucas and briefly purred her admiration and affection to him. For everyone else, their gear and supplies were intact and were quickly unloaded from the jeeps. Jeremiah's head virtually buzzed with the information he had been reading about and Andreev had no difficulty memorizing the codes and sequences.

OOC: All

Montoya nodded in satisfaction as his fears proved groundless. With a little chuckle he murmured, "Maskirova," and smiled. "All clear here, Commander," he called out, pitching his voice just loud enough to reach Durant. "Just need the access code for this keypad. Then we can head down to the warehouse."

Lucas scratches behind Krizzel's ears, secretly quite pleased to see the cat. He keeps back from the gate, and out of the way of Donovan and Rylee as they scan the surrounding desert.

"So, you want to see the Stargate too? I'm not really surprised. You do take after your mistress." He says to Krizzel, waiting for the warehouse to be opened.
