[Ethan] WTF?!?

[starborn_scribe]

The fucking thing growled and hissed, the half-breed grinned, and the bitch demanded an answer as if they were in a downtown police department! Between his current injuries and the fact that all-knowing, all-seeing DHARMA didn't seem to know of the Japanese tin can's existence Ethan felt himself starting to panic. (No! I'm better than these freaks. Smarter. I will not break! Carlson will get here soon. Not even this slant-eyed weirdo could withstand a barrage of rocket-propelled grenades. If I can't study these weirdos I'll bury them

Aiden strode down the hallway, her mind deciding wether coffee or chocolate was in order. She noticed Scott's changed expression out of the corner of her eye.

"What?" she shrugged. "It went good in there. Got a good idea of how he ticks. We just have to figure out a plan to play him and we're in. What's with the sour face?"

[Jon] Not the end of the world.. yet

OOC: is Daniel still here, or has he gone to fry them fishies?It wasn't far from the cells to the observation room, so Jon heard every word. Sour face, huh? There were all kinds of possible reasons for that, and one look at Scott's body language - halfway between presenting himself for inspection and trying to hide behind the nearest desk - was enough to tell Jon which way the wind was blowing

The urge to run upon entering the control room was so strong that Scott retreated to his emotionless Algeiban side again. There he knew that running would solve nothing. Daniel and Jon had been nothing but respectful despite their ties to the military. Ironically, Mindfuck Island was probably the best place for his secret to come out. The consequences would be much more severe in the real world.

Scott suddenly realized that he hadn't contacted his parents in days. That and Jon's wry comment about his alien friends broke Scott's hold on the void. Uncertainty and nervousness rushed back. With his shields down Scott felt Jon's candor. (He's not kidding,) Scott thought, only mildly surprised.

He managed a small smile. In an equally low voice Scott replied, "Then you know that they're -- we're -- not all bad." He wanted to say more, but ingrained reticence made him hold back. Besides, it was strange referring to himself as one of "them." Scott didn't think of himself as an alien. He was just him.

[Jon] Yeah, well..

[sophiedb]

Scott obviously thought of himself as more human than alien, which was a good sign, however the hesitant reply made Jon uncomfortable. He might be 100% human DNA himself, but the birds and bees had nothing to do with his entry onto the scene: one crooked alien certainly did. What did that make him?

"Just like humans then," the not-teen stated bluntly, tapping the monitor that showed Ethan. "So you're a walking lie detector? More reliable than a machine I hope, because those things can be beaten."

Fight the shift!

She turned her head back to Ethan. "First you said you were a psycharist, now it's a psychologist, if you're gonna lie to me in the future Ethan at least get your story straight."

Oops. That was my bad. Not Ethan's. He's quite proud of his credentials and wouldn't have slipped up like that.

Np just wasn't sure is all. Just pretend Ethan was seeing how well she was paying attention.
