StarGate: Traditions

[Jaeden]

"That could rock. I doubt it would take much to convince everyone of it's usefulness, assuming it works as advertised. This could be standard issue for SG teams if it works well. I'd be happy to help you out, Sergeant." She smiles, taking her PDA back and replacing it in her pocket. "Do you have any other great ideas?"

Julian smiles brightly at her, for the first time, seeming confident. He'd impressed her, and a congratulations from the President wouldn't have meant as much. "Loads... But let's take it one invention at a time."

"And by the way... We're off duty. It's Julian." He smiles warmly at her again.

As the card players continue their game, The Colonel's abundance of chips growing, Major Davis will stand up, leaning over the chair.

"The device sounds interesting- I know we have a shortage of qualified people in Ms. Rampal's position. You should talk that over with Dr. Felger or Dr. Lee, and see if you can get funding and time for it."

He'll stack his chips, looking small in comparison to Colonel Johnson's pile, "If you'll excuse me, I'll be-"

A voice will be heard echoing through the complex.

"UNSCHEDULED OFF-WORLD ACTIVATION. REPEAT, UNSCHEDULED OFF-WORLD ACTIVATION."

"Or not, then."

The few people remaining will get up from their tables, and start heading toward the door, at a controled jog. Wanting to move quickly, but remain calm.
As they get up to leave, many leave their laptops and newspapers behind, heading for the exit.

Turning to Julian, "You should go to your assigned station. If you don't have one yet, the labs should be good."

The Major will walk to the emergency phone, and pick it up, talking out of auditory range.

The team of chefs will head out of the kitchen, and toward the door. One of them will have spilled some sort of red-sauce on his outfit, and is leaving footprints.

One of the SGC personell will turn around, and grab his laptop before he exits the door, rememberig the SGC procedure to avoid leaving any potential classified information in a public area, in case of enemy invasion.

As people hurry out of the room, a bowl of pudding will smash into the floor, shattering into 300 pieces of saftey glass.

As the Major talks on the phone, He'll gesture to the Colonel to come over, pointing to the receiver.

Julian looks over at Ashley, trying not to show how terrified he is, but not doing a very good job. He snatches his laptop off the table next to him, clutching it tightly.

"Umm... Ashley? what the hell is that? I thought we had that iris thing that was supposed to stop incoming traffic... These people don't look calm... Colon... Great, he's gone too..."

 

[Kemrain]

Ashley smiles, getting up and pushing her chair in under the table as she starts to head for the door.
"It's just an unscheduled activation. It's probably one of our teams. We won't open the iris unless we get a GDO code. We're just heading to safe places in case it's an emergency. Who knows, we might have to evacuate to the Alpha Site if something crazy happens. Come on, we should hit the labs." She waves him towards the door, grinning.

Ashley smiles, getting up and pushing her chair in under the table as she starts to head for the door.

Who knows, we might have to evacuate to the Alpha Site if something crazy happens. Come on, we should hit the labs." She waves him towards the door, grinning.

"Evacuate the mountain? That'd be a nightmare... 10 people max at a time in the elevator to the surface... And that's the only way out of here. Where is the Alpha site anyway? One of the other mountains nearby?" He stands and follows her... sticking right on her heels and looking around corners as if he expects a Goa'uld to leap out from the ladies' room and zap him to death.

 

[Kemrain]

Ashley laughs as they head towards the door. "You're right, the elevators would be a horrible way to evacuate. We're lucky to have a bigger point of egress in the gate room on 28." She smirks at him as they walk. "The Alpha Site is probably a few thousand lightyears from here, maybe tens of thousands, hell if I know. It's through the Stargate. Another mountain wouldn't be a safe place to hide from aliens with FTL capable starships."

Ashley laughs as they head towards the door. "You're right, the elevators would be a horrible way to evacuate. We're lucky to have a bigger point of egress in the gate room on 28." She smirks at him as they walk. "The Alpha Site is probably a few thousand lightyears from here, maybe tens of thousands, hell if I know. It's through the Stargate. Another mountain wouldn't be a safe place to hide from aliens with FTL capable starships."

Ashley will take six or seven more steps before noticing that the moment the phrase "gate room on 28" came out of her mouth, Julian stopped dead in his tracks with the suddenness of having walked face-first into a sliding glass door. His face is one of stunned horror, and he hugs his laptop in both hands as if it were a favorite teddy bear.

"...excuse me?"

 

[Kemrain]

"...excuse me?"

Ashley stops, turning to face the Sergeant who stopped following her. Her grin fades as she sees how afraid he looks, and she walks back to him, consern on her face.
"Sergeant, if there's an evacuation it will be through the Stargate, but the chances of that are low. It's probaly SG-1 coming in under fire or something. You don't need to worry, they've been through worse, I'm sure. The iris will hold. It's made of a titanium trinium alloy that's harer than anything else on the planet. If we recieve a GDO code we'll get our people home and seal it shut tighter than you're gripping your laptop. We have nothing to worry about yet. We're going to safe places just in case. Once they figure out what the issue is they'll tell us to stand down. It's happened tons of times. People sleep through them. You don't need to be so worried. Now c'mon, we should get to Level 19." She smiles reassuringly, gesturing with her head towards the doors, letting him make the first move.

Hinda will guesture to both Ashley and Julian, "Come, we should hurry. I'd hate to be in the kitchen if they actually need me and can't find me, wouldn't you?" Seeing the beginnings of panic on Julian's face, she smiles warmly and gently takes his elbow.

"I know you don't quite understand what's going on, but they wouldn't let civilians like Ashley and I down here if every unscheduled offworld activation was a threat to the security of the world." She laughs a little.

"It is most likely a team coming in under fire or simply calling to report exciting news, right, Ashley?" She glances at Ashley as if to say, 'Don't freak the poor boy out, he already likes you.'

Colonel Johnson will calmly get up and grab the receiver from the Major.

"Hello?"
