"You've got that right," Jon muttered suspiciously. "But I wish people wouldn't just go around touch-"
He stopped mid-sentence, pushing his way closer to the computer that May had been investigating. The writing was unhappily familiar. Why am I not surprised?
"Found something interesting?"
"Unfortunately. And just as annoyingly coincidental. Why would they leave this stuff lying around?"
"Not gibberish then."
Jon shook his head, now rifling through desk drawers in search of paper and pen. "To us, yes. To Daniel, no. It's the same language as on that pillar. Aha! Hey Ken, you wanna shine that light over here? Yeah, right here."
He copied the Ancient characters down quickly, ignoring the itch to half-translate them in the back of his mind. There wasn't enough time for that, not when they didn't know how far from base they really were.
Too late.
"Observation rooms? Not holding cells?"
"I thought you said that was gibberish.."
Crap, musta said that out loud.
"Yeah, well I'm rusty. It's not like they teach this in high school." ..because downloading it into your brain is easier. "C'mon, let's get back. It's time for lunch and I heard they found pie."
OOC: All EXITING.. unless more ebilness is planned on the way 'home'?
Nah, no ebilness. May will spend the time teasing Jon, making commentary about the availability of pie, and trying to at least learn a few more phrases and how to pronounce them from Kenzaki. (She'll figure it out later, I think I'm going to string her along so that when she DOES figure it out, she'll slap herself for being so dense.)
aliencrabcakes and I were speculating that Dean probably might have gotten the fireman's carry treatment from Mayday when they first met, so if he finds out about it he's got no reason to make fun. (Although his reaction to that would have probably been a little different.) :)
