StarGate: Traditions

[Jaeden]

Scratching his chin, Julian softly replies, "It's a key, maybe."

After a moment, he continues. "You said it plays different frequencies, but gives off radiation. So it's also dealing with frequencies on the microwave level. Chances are, it's used like a garage door opener or something - enter in the combination, and if the door is close enough to hear it, you get in. The vibrating is probably just a side effect. It's a thought, anyway."

As the X301 discussion continues...

"I don't suppose any of you have the clearance needed to let me check this ship out, do ya?" He sounds like he's half-kidding. Maybe.

Wincing as Ashley lays out her cards, he flips his own for the first time and spreads them with his hand. It's a straight flush alright, albeit out of order in his hand. He rearranges the cards in order, slowly, as if to assure himself he saw it right. With a shrug and a grin, he can only reply, "Who knew?"

Davis listens as Ashley talks about the device, thinking about his next move.
"The x301 is doing better than I think anyone anticipated. The engine tests show it has enough thrust to hit escape velocity without stressing much. I'll fold," he's say, sliding his cards toward the center of the table.

In response to Julian, "I'm afraid the development team for that project is working at Area 51. Raising an eyebrow at Julian's luck," But I imagine you'd be more interested in learning about the replicators- They're a form of robot that uses advanced AI to devour entire worlds, using them as raw materials to make more of themselves.

The major collects the cards, cutting the deck in half and shuffling them together. Sliding the deck to Julian, he'd ask Ms. Rampal "What have you been working on, besides the recent rash of paperwork? What's the sort of thing that you find interesting?"

 

[Jaeden]

With wide eyes at the description of the replicators... "Tell me we didn't build those..."

Julian makes a bummed-out face as the location of the X301 is relayed to him.. Wishing for a field trip.

Grinning as the hand is decided, Julian drags the chips to himself, leaving one in the pile for his next round's blind, and deals the cards. He motions with one to Hinda, as if volunteering to deal to her as well, if she's changed her mind.

The major collects the cards, cutting the deck in half and shuffling them together. Sliding the deck to Julian, he'd ask Ms. Rampal "What have you been working on, besides the recent rash of paperwork? What's the sort of thing that you find interesting?"

"To be honest, most of the technology you've been talking about is a little over my head." She smiles at Ashley and Julian. "It's interesting, but I have to admit I feel like I only understand about a third of what you're talking about. And I supposed to be an expert on languages." She smiles.

Turning to Major Davis, "I've been examining some artifacts that appear to be of Japanese lineage at first glance. I haven't gotten very far, but there's a fascinating oilpainting in the collection."

"Julian Anderson. He's an expert in computing, but apparently a bit of a lone wolf. I'll admit I've got my concerns, but if anyone can get something good out of him, it's you."

Hammond will pick up Anderson's personnel file, which he had been looking through earlier. Reading from it aloud, " He shows little to no respect for authority whatsoever. However, while his lack of military bearing concerns me, it is my belief that if Anderson can straighten up, he has an extremely bright future in the USAF. His gift with electronics and computers is unparalelled in my estimation."
Hammond will put down the file.

"I think he has the potential. Talk with him tonight, and let me know what you think by tomorrow."

"I think he has the potential. Talk with him tonight, and let me know what you think by tomorrow."

"Any idea where he's at right now?"

Colonel Johnson will head to where the group is playing cards. He'll linger in the doorway a bit (I'm assuming the door is open) to see how the group "plays" together. It will be a major factor in seeing if Anderson will fit in or not.

"Mind if I sit in?"

 

[Keryn]

Hinda looks up and smiles, "Good evening, Colonel. Pull up a chair." She motions around the table, "Do you know everyone?"

 

[reveal]

"Everyone except... Mr. Anderson I presume?"

The Colonel will say that last part in his best "Agent Smith" voice and extend his hand. After, hopefully, shaking hands, he'll pull out a chair and sit down.

"So, what's the ante?"

 

[Jaeden]

"Everyone except... Mr. Anderson I presume?"

Julian looks up at him, nodding. "Yes, sir." He sets the deck of cards down, standing up and starting a pretty poor attempt at a salute, until he sees the Colonel's offer of a handshake, which he accepts instead.

Sitting back down when motioned to do so, he picks the cards back up.

"The small blind's at 50 right now, Colonel." He partitions off about half of his recently enlarged pile of chips, sliding them just a hair closer to Bubba, as if offering. "Shall I deal you in, sir?"

"Definitely." The Colonel waits for his cards. He picks them up and makes a bet.

"So, Sgt. Anderson, what is it you do here? I've heard your name mentioned but haven't had a chance to meet you until now."
