[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.

Comments

[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 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)

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

[Dean] Whew, that was close! (open tag)

[aliencrabcakes]

Dean arrived back at the cafeteria and got himself another cuppa joe. Putting on his best 'I'm ready for anything' look, he settled down to business just as May finished asking her question. At that moment, they heard a loud crack from Tara's room and the lights flickered momentarily. "Not only that, but what we gonna do about Ms. Random Acts of Witchery? I don't know about you, but I sure don't want to be walking down the hallway and have one of her bolts hit me in the ass."

May scowled at Dean. "Would serve you right." May wasn't too happy about Dean's callous comment about Tara's critical condition.

"What? I'm just saying. Sounds like they might be getting worse. At least we should cut off any electricity to her room in case she arcs again. It might take the whole place out next time."

"Huh, lughead's actually using the proper organ to think with for once." Rodney said.

ooc: out till much later tonight.

[Molly] Whew, that was close! (open tag)

[purplerhino]

Molly chewed her lip. There might be an answer to Tara's 'misfiring' and her own bone deep wariness. Tara had absorbed so much of Molly's energy, she had almost inadvertently killed her. Elves WERE magic. It was part of their physical make up, as much as blood and bone and flesh.

To others Molly looked tired and paler than usual. Her hair seemed a bit duller than usual, and even her eyes seemed somehow diminished.

But if Molly could actually work a reversal, to absorb Tara's magic, like she could absorb the magic of a storm... She might be able to leech away the force behind the magical blips.

"I'm all for cutting power. She doesn't need another round as a lightening rod. But I think I might be able to do something to help diminish the discharges. I'm not sure."

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

[purplerhino]

The Doctor smirked at the mention of aliens. He’d long since stopped even pretending with this lot. And no one had treated him any differently. Of course some thought he was barmy. Maybe he was. But for the most part this lot were a good sort. Across the table Ripley was listening to Daniel attentively while sharpening her claws on a whetstone. Yeah, some non-humans were more obvious than others. Scott still kept himself hidden, and he was welcome to his secret. So did Molly. She wasn’t totally human, but he hadn’t a clue what species she was crossed with

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

[lost_mckay]

Rodney sat back in his seat, his expression falling to a scowl. He didn't like mentionning them-- in his book, while they had wonderous cities and incredible technology, every single one that he'd met (or read about) were, well, jerks. Pure and simple. Whether they were ascended or only 'technically'. And more to the point, he didn't like feeling as if he was being put on the spot, even if only through Dr. Jackson. Security meant safety. And, if anyone finds out that the barely defensible City 'out there' still exists, he puts his friends in jeopardy, if only indirectly.

Oh, hey, look at that. More coffee...

McKay looked away to attend to his coffee, waiting for the inevitable questions that would follow; answers he was more than willing for either Dr. Jackson to field, or-- hey-- perhaps The Doctor?
