[Daniel] Day 20: Debriefing (open tag)

[fikgirl]

Daniel waited quietly, going over the notes in front of him, while waiting for everyone to have some breakfast and get on the same page. The notes were simply a way to organize his thoughts and a list of questions he wanted to ask, systems that needed to be investigated, observations that he'd made about the prisoners and the facility.

[McKay] Day 20: Debriefing (open tag)

[lost_mckay]

"Great." People with access to Ancient technology.

Of course, Dr. McKay has experience in Ancient technology. He can recognize it, use it, jury rig it, interface to it, and can even read it-- technical jargon, that is. He's been immersed in it for over a year, and in that time, he's effectively the technical expert in it in not only this galaxy but probably in the Pegasus Galaxy as well. In that, they've still got a somewhat level playing field. He'd be the first to say that the survivor group is lucky to have him on their side, but at the moment, he was a bit too preoccupied with that second cup of coffee, and after that, a third.

The moment it was done brewing, Rodney grabbed his own cup and retakes his seat. He and The Doctor worked to isolate the system, and there are still a couple more things he'd like to do to make sure that they're completely protected, or rather, as protected as they could be. The fact they've got the CCTV working helps, however. At least, it went a long way to help alleviate his concerns.

[Chris] And what about.... (tag Daniel, open)

[estirose]

Chris swallowed his eggs and hash browns. "Wasn't that strange girl... what's her name... a prisoner here? Maybe she'd know."

"Alex," someone supplied.

"Right, maybe Alex would know what's going on," Chris offered. "But I haven't seen her this morning." He wondered if she was still there, or had disappeared into the night.

[Jon] And what about.... (tag open)

[sophiedb]

"She was up half the night, scrubbing away in the.." Jon's trailed off, remembering that Locke was present. "..corner room."

There was some shifting in seats as everyone recalled why that room needed scrubbing, so Jon decided to plough on.

"Inventories, billets and communicating with the other groups we should be able to start on without Alex, even rotas - though they might be subject to change depending on what we find out. She's not exactly battering the door down to do away with our prisoners though, is she? So there might be some loyalty hiding away in there, however cooperative she seems."

He thought a minute. "The girls were asked questions, lots of questions, weren't they? Maybe there's some kind of truth serum about."

[Scott] And what about.... (tag open)

[starborn_scribe]

Mention of the "corner room" made Scott shudder. He knew the blood hadn't been Ami's and that Daisy, being a grim reaper, had recovered -- (Physically, at least) -- but still. (Monsters!)

Scott briefly wondered where the prisoners were being held. For now he and especially Ethan were better off not knowing. Ami was his first priority. Revenge could wait until she was conscious and able to care for herself.

Jon's mention of questioning caught Scott's attention. "Even if the bastards weren't questioning the women, they were doping them up. Did anyone find their medical records? I can tell what the drugs did to Ami, but I need to know more about the drugs themselves." Damon's, Locke's, and the Doctor's presence reminded him that Ami wasn't the only person who'd been experimented on or hurt. "When we're done here I'll see what I can do for Tara, and anyone else who's hurt."

[Megabyte, Daniel] And What About . . . (tag Scott, open)

[fikgirl]

Megabyte noticed that he wasn't the only one who shuddered or blanched at the mention of the "corner room." And most of those present had only heard about it. He'd only gotten to see it in black and white, but that was enough for him

[Sam] Missing the occult (tag Daniel, open)

[starborn_scribe]

The longer the meeting went on the more Sam felt out of his element. If his brother hadn't been off getting laid -- not that he was jealous, nope, not one bit -- he was sure that Dean would feel the same way. Their work was pretty cut and dry. There were good guys and bad guys. The bad guys were either already dead or not human, so killing them wasn't an issue. The only exceptions they'd run into were possessions -- *shudder* -- and a few cases of the criminally insane. For the latter they could leave the crazies for the authorities to deal with

[Daniel] It's ancient ... and it's alien (tag Sam, open)

[fikgirl]

Daniel sighed. Sam, his brother and May had not been there for the what-the-hell-everyone's-seen-the-goods-anyway conversation. He could feel both Jon and Rodney's eyes on him as they wondered what he could possibly say that didn't compromise more than had been compromised.

"Alien," Daniel translated. Everyone else knew that. Oddly, everyone else accepted that. "It's an ancient type of alien technology, with ancient being a relative term. And yes, I said alien, and no, I don't mean people who sneak into the country and don't hold green cards."

He waited to see how Sam would handle that information.

[Sam] It's ancient ... and it's alien (open tag)

[starborn_scribe]

Sam frowned at Daniel for a few moments. The soldier simply looked back. "Huh," Sam murmured. He glanced around the table. No one was surprised. In fact, Jon and Rodney looked bored. Scott seemed to be a bit on edge; the Doctor mildly amused. "Huh," Sam repeated. Then he grinned. "Does Faith, um, not have a green card?"

Everyone looked at him askance. "No," Daniel said slowly. "What would make you think that?"

Sam shrugged. "Wishful thinking. I'd love to tell Dean that he hooked up with E.T."

[Mayday] It's ancient ... and it's alien (open tag)

[weirdweb]

May sipped her orange juice, gauging the reactions in the room. Everyone else looked supremely bored at the revelation, but... it made sense, really. Aliens seemed to fit the explanation for most of the technological weirdness of the past few days. "I wish Dad were here," she mumured, thinking aloud. "He'd be in geek heaven

[Faith] Hey, Check Out the New Girl (tag Isabel, George, open)

[fikgirl]

Faith led the short distance to the kitchen, and ducked inside with George and Isabel on her heels. Everyone was listening to Daniel -- or talking or asking questions -- so no one seemed to notice her immediately.

A shrill wolf whistle changed all that.

The room fell silent, every head swiveled in their direction. She could feel George alternating between glaring and cringing, and she figured Isabel had probably just gone scarlet. Whatever. At least they had everyone's attention.

"Yo, everybody, George brought home a stray," Faith announced. She jerked her thumb towards Isabel, "This is Isabel. She's just an ordinary girl who got washed overboard out at sea and wound up in our little island of tropical fun and sun. Isabel," Faith glanced over her shoulder and grinned at the newcomer, "This is everybody."

Her eyes moved around the room and Faith snorted, "And we are all starting to look like a bunch of extras from ER."

[McKay] Hey, Check Out the New Girl (tag Isabel, Faith, open)

[lost_mckay]

Rodney decided that he wasn't going to answer the question regarding where and when they were. Thankfully, The Doctor spoke up, allowing the astrophysicist to finish his second cup of coffee before he began to consider his third.

The scowl began to fade, and all things considered, he had his work cut out for him for as long as he's here. He mentally began to check things off, much like he had while lying in bed, smelling the aroma of breakfast.

The interruption of Faith brought his focus off the middle distance, and pressing his lips together in a grimace, watched the introduction of yet one more undoubtedly unhelpful person to the castaways.

Still, she was cute.
Blonde.

"Never saw it. I'm thinking we're more like 'The Prisoner', but without the giant rubber ball."

[George] Hey, Check Out the New Girl (open tag)

[sinanju]

"That you know of," George said acidly. (Way to tempt fate, McKay,) she thought. "Nobody's tried to leave the island yet. For all we know, if somebody tries to sail away Rover will come along to stop 'em."

George turned to take a look at Isabel, to see how she was dealing with all the strangers staring at her--and noticed Blaise. He'd been sitting at a table in the corner. Now he was standing, staring at Isabel with an odd expression.

Before George could identify his reaction he gave his head a little shake and sat down again, muttering to himself. Blaise focused on his plate, picking up his fork and resuming his meal.

George watched him for a moment longer, wondering what that was about. Blaise glanced up at Isabel once more, then concentrated on eating again.

[Blaise] Hey, Check Out the New Girl (open tag)

[sinanju]

Blaise glanced up from under his brow for a moment, then lowered his eyes again. He picked up a piece of bacon and ate it. He shook his head slightly.

(Damn,) he thought. He'd been shocked when Faith's whistle caught his attention and he'd looked up. For a moment he thought that Lily--his Lily--had somehow turned up on the island. Torn by conflicting emotions, he'd leaped to his feet; thrilled to see his wife again, but angry and frightened by the thought that she'd somehow been dragged into this mess.

But Faith introduced her as Isabel and on closer inspection, she wasn't Lily. The resemblance was remarkable, but it was only a strong resemblance. She might have been Lily's sister, but not her identical twin. Still, it was a painful reminder of how much he missed her.

[Aiden] Another day at the Office...er..compound

[det_aiden_burn]

Aiden was both tired and psyched, and she was quite used to the feeling. She'd pulled an all-nighter fingerprinting everything she could get her hands on as well as trying to get a general feel for the place. Cameras were everywhere. Well almost everywhere. There were a couple of blind spots. She hid the evidence she'd collected in an air vent out of camera range so no one had seen her do it. Trust no one

[Mayday] Another day at the Office...er..compound (tag Aiden, open)

[weirdweb]

((OOC: I'm going to place this about a second before Faith's Big Entrance since Aiden's managed to slip in quietly. With everyone staring at the door, she wouldn't have come in unnoticed.))

May blinked at the woman - oh, wait, yeah, she'd been in the clearing on the night of Let's-Meet-Everybody-And-You'll-Be-Quizzed-Later. Ann? No, it wasn't a common name, but all May could remember was that it began with an A.

She was getting up to put her plate in the sink anyway, so she came over to greet the new arrival. "Eating, mostly. Help yourself, I think the wolves haven't devoured it all."

((OOC again: Okay, my brain is now trying to escape out my ear due to the Headache That Will Not Die. Bedtime....))

Re: [Aiden] Another day at the Office...er..compound (tag Mayday, open)

[det_aiden_burn]

Aiden smiled at May's joke. She assumed she was reffering to the overwhelming number of men. Not that it rattled Aiden, she was used to working in a place that had testerone dripping down the walls.

She looked around for something to eat with her coffee.
