Leonard had looked at Jeremiah when picking up his flashlight. When he had looked up from his notes, Leonard wanted to give a long reply, but thought better of it. He recognized the look on his face, someone working with fanaticism on his one true passion. "Well, we'll find out soon enough. Keep working, anything you figure out will be of help." After picking up his flashlight, Leonard had walking over to the stairs to take up position.

He keeps a close eye on the stairs, but occasionaly looks behind him. Amazing. The kid really seems to be able to piece something together from these screams. Seeing Jeremiah at work brings a smile to Leonard's mouth. Being part of this team makes him proud, and a bit flattered at the same time.

After taking a moment the actual purpose of why they were here returned to Durant. He kept his rifle trained on the creature, but opened his eyes and actually stopped to really look at it. Without moving his eyes from the creature, Durant stage-whispered up the stairs. "Montoya. Do you and Fallon have both of these things in your sights?" He continued to watch the creature. I can not believe I am about to do this.

Looking down the elevator shaft, Lorelai and Donovan see the alien creature forty feet down the shaft. The creature’s arms were outstretched and its head was turned, looking up the shaft. Bright scales covered the creature, yet glowing from the lava it had just recently left. It had horns upon its head, and its body ended in a snake coiled tail. Its size was deceiving for a moment, until the realization hit that the creature was taking up almost the entire ten foot elevator shaft floor. At that, the creature was probably ten to twelve feet tall, but its length was unknown because of the coiled tail.

Lorelai's eyes widened slightly at the creature, her heart pounding. It couldn't be real! It just couldn't. But there it was making that awful noise and it was so huge! Her scientific mind took stock of the creature, of its biology, cataloguing what she could see and guessing at its biological nature.

The 19 year old part of her....

“Scarrr nakk rrripesssk tollll sssearasss, keelsk sssolir!!”

Letting out a sudden scream of fear? Horror? Who knows, but the professor shrieked alright, her fingers holding onto the edge of the elevator, her eyes unable to wrench away from the frightening sight below.

Lucas rushes forwards at Lorelai's scream, grabbing the young woman by the shoulder and pulling her back from the elevator shaft.

"Could you stay quiet, please?" He says urgently, ushering the Professor towards the stairwell. "We really don't want to startle those things..."

God, she's still a teenager. Who the hell decided to put the through all of this? He looks at her in concern. If we get out of this alive, Durant should have words with his superiors. Of course, that's still an if.

Without moving his eyes from the creature, Durant stage-whispered up the stairs. "Montoya. Do you and Fallon have both of these things in your sights?" He continued to watch the creature.

Montoya grunted an affirmative to the commander's query, and whispered forward Fallon's observation of the additional creatures in the lava pools. As he heard Lorelai's scream echo into the hanger, he cursed under his breath, "Damn kid's gonna screw up everything..." The word 'again' almost, but not quite tacked on to the end of it.

"Could you stay quiet, please?" He says urgently, ushering the Professor towards the stairwell. "We really don't want to startle those things..."

"Quiet?!" Lorelai resisted his pull, staying quite firm by the elevator. Instead she grabbed him by the collar of his shirt and yanked him so he could see the creature himself. "Do you see what's down there? How come everyone acts like this is normal? Like you see twelve feet tall fiery snake things every day? Did they show you pictures of aliens?"

Lucas pales as Lorelai drags him back to the edge of the shaft. Looking down, the expression on the alien creature's face does little to calm him any further.

"I've seen it, OK? OK?" He takes a step back away from the edge, breathing out once he's no longer in danger of making all too physical first contact with the thing forty feet below.

"I've seen it, and it looks angry. What I'm saying is we let the Army boys do their job, stay out of the line of fire, and do the wondering at the marvel of extra-terrestrial life later when it isn't in a position to kill us. OK?!"

"I agree with Mr. Fisher, Doctor." He gestured toward the back of the room, specifically toward the stairwell. "If you and Mr. Fisher could step back, then we will attempt to deal with the creatures before they can harm any of us. I do not believe that this is a common occurrance for anyone present in this warehouse. However, it is what it is, and we must keep our wits about us in order to get through the situation. Meanwhile, if you can think of anything that might be of use to us, that would be of immense help."

He then directed his look to Leonard, Lucas, Donovan, Reed and Stewart. "Lady and gentlemen, let us see what we can do about this. Lt. Donovan, have any of these creatures began scaling the elevator shaft?"

Durant's concentration broke at the mention of additional creatures in the lava pits, but his line of sight did not change. "Here I go," was all he offered as an explanation. Durant lowered his rifle down to the low-ready position. He then stood up and walked out a few steps from the bottom of the stairs. His gaze never left the smaller creature facing him. He stared it direstly in the eyes. "We are here to protect the Stargate."

As Durant confronted the smaller of the two creatures, Montoya gestured for Fallon to cover the lava pools while he kept his weapon trained on the elevator entrance.
