*With a groan, Baby's First Stargate spins to life, stopping at the usual seven glyphs before announcing "the human says: 'wait, that probe won't fi-AUGH!'" and filling with the rippling, waterlike surface of a portal. After a moment, screaming in panic, Dib dives through, tumbling as he lands and coming to a stop flat on his back. He breathes a sigh of relief, then sucks in back in as a huge metal claw reaches through the gate, jabbing down at him. It's only by frantic scrambling that he evades the blindly groping talon. After a few more futile jabs, the limb of mechanized wrath withdraws with an air of disappointment and the stargate shuts down.*
Whew! That was close!
*Standing up, Dib dusts himself off, giving anyone who saw that little display a sheepish grimace.*
So, uh... has anyone else here ever had...
*He gives the gate a nervous look over his shoulder.*
...computer trouble?
