ESCAPE PLAN #1

[arrogantedingly]

[ If you're anywhere near this computer lab, you'll noticed that Rodney has been pretty busy ripping it apart and putting it together again, school boy shirt sleeves rolled up but still slightly smarter than is normal for him. He also seems to have borrowed a whole lot of gear from the science department -- because, hello? Saving everyone, far more

[standing in the doorway, face blank and stoic. He was just passing by, and all the noise caught his attention]

... What are you doing?

[arrogantedingly]

[ Slides across to another machine on his wheelie chair and doesn't even look up at you ]

Trying to get out of here.

[claymoredingly]

... It isn't going to work. [he's been here long enough to know that]

[arrogantedingly]

Oh, really, thank you so much for that invaluable input.

[ Slides back across and checks another screen. ]

[belovedingly]

So. Any luck?

[arrogantedingly]

[ Slides back to another screen and starts typing quickly ]

I would be having more luck if I didn't have to continually answer stupid questions.

[belovedingly]

[Leans on the doorframe, watching with mild interest]

Well, that's all right. I'm the only one talking to you right now, and my questions aren't stupid. Have you thought about what I said?

[arrogantedingly]

Ha. Ha. Ha.

[ Continues typing and shakes his head. ]

Thought about it, come to the conclusion that I am still right and you are still wrong. We have nothing better to try, and I have to get as much done as I can before the world changes. Busy!

[toweredingly]

[Has been standing here looking around in interest for some time. Do forgive him; he's only ever seen computers as century-old husks before now]

[Now he clears his throat]

Cry pardon, sai, but what are you doing?

[arrogantedingly]

[ Doesn't look up, keeps typing ]

Working on a way out

[toweredingly]

Of the shifting worlds?

[arrogantedingly]

[ Stops typing to glare. ]

No, of this room. Of course of the shifting worlds! Where else would I be trying to escape from?

[ GOES BACK TO TYPING he is never going to get anything done at this rate. ]

Pfff Don't judge me

[zombiedingly]

[ This is Shaun, still exploring. He's found McKay's computer lab, and there are SO MANY BLINKY LIGHTS and programs running he just wants to push all the buttons. It looks like some kind of mission control to him. HE WANTS TO KNOW WHAT IT IS. Which is why he's now edging in curiously. ]

Ummmmm hi

[arrogantedingly]

Hi.

[ Doesn't even look up |: continues typing for a minute, then wheels his way across to another screen. ]

[zombiedingly]

[ Edges closer and looks curiously at one of the screens... NOPE, he doesn't understand any of this. Frowns for a second, and looks over at another screen. STILL NO. ]

Uh, what are you... [ GESTURES VAGUELY. What is all this stuff, McKay? ]

[arrogantedingly]

[ Goes to wheel back, BUMPS INTO YOU NOW STANDING IN HIS WAY and scowls. ]

Excuse me.

[ MOVES AROUND YOU WITH EXAGGERATED PATIENCE. Types for a second, before addressing your question ]

I am trying to get us out of here, and it would be going a lot faster if I didn't continually have to stop to answer stupid questions.

[idiotedingly]

[Breathe.... Breathe...

BREAAATHEEEEE

Hey buddy, how's that whole personal space thing? There's a red head about three centimeters from your face right next to you.]

...

Huuuuuuu this looks complicated.

[arrogantedingly]

[ Explosion of rage in ten, nine, eight...

Yeah. This is McKay shoving his chair back into you and jumping up. ]

YES, it is complicated. And you standing over me breathing down my neck is not helping! What the hell is wrong with you people? Get out of my way

[ Shoves past you to glare at another screen. OH MAN, BAD PERSON TO ANNOY EXCEL. ]

[idiotedingly]

[OOF. CLINGING TO THE CHAIR. CLINGING FOR ALL SHE'S WORTH. Falling isn't fun, Rodney!]

Oooiiii oi oi oi you didn't have a sign up! How am I supposed to know if you don't put up a do not disturb sign? You could be playing an extreme version of solitaire!

Are you winning?

Mun just laughed so hard you have no idea

[arrogantedingly]

No! Because people keep getting in my way and asking stupid questions!
