[Daniel] Day 20: Debriefing (open tag)

Aug 24, 2006 23:31

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.

( Slowly getting down to business. )

[Chris] And what about.... (tag Daniel, open) estirose August 25 2006, 04:11:51 UTC

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 August 25 2006, 08:33:57 UTC

"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 August 25 2006, 12:20:32 UTC

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 August 25 2006, 15:10:48 UTC

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 ( ... )

[McKay] Priorities? (tag open) lost_mckay August 25 2006, 15:34:51 UTC

'Believe it or not ( ... )

[Scott, Locke, Sam] And What About . . . (open tag) starborn_scribe August 25 2006, 16:06:25 UTC

Looking more and more the college professor, Daniel said, "If there aren't any objections, I don't see why you can't look at the files when we wrap up here. But it won't be my final call. They aren't my files ( ... )

[Daniel] And what about.... (tag Jon, open) fikgirl August 25 2006, 15:18:56 UTC

"I don't think we'll need to resort to truth serum, Jon," Daniel said. "The Doctor has been able to confirm that Alex hasn't lied to us."

"A lie of omission is still a lie, Daniel. She isn't exactly volunteering stuff either, is she?" Jon reminded him, the scowl on his face so reminiscent of Jack O'Neill that for a moment Daniel felt like they were off-world in an unknown hostile environment, banging their heads together to figure everything out.

(Oh wait, we are. Except it's Jon instead of Jack. Other than that, it's life as I've come to know it.)

"She's not visiting the prisoners either," someone pointed out.

"Which makes sense if she was a prisoner here," Daniel agreed. "It also makes sense that she wouldn't necessarily be shouting 'off with their heads,' either. We don't know how long she's been here, what they've done to her or how she's been socialized --"

Jon looked dubiously at him. "Stockholm Syndrome?"

"We can't ignore the possibility."
