[RP] Stargate: Lost Legacy (OPEN)

[Aenakume]

It was a rare thing for Hunter to be struck totally speechless, but she stood with her mouth slightly open, her hands still in position from offering the papers and GDO to Sonata, and her eyes locked on Sonata's... and she stood that way for several breaths before finally managing to say something: "... huh!"

She blinked a few times to regain her balance, and then cleared her throat. "Dr. Rourke... I'm afraid there will be very little time during this exercise that you might devote to your... studies. While I applaud your... ah... enthusiasm... perhaps it might be best if we focussed our energies on the more... practical... aspects of combat during this exercise."

She nodded at the papers in Sonata's hands, "Those will probably be more a nuisance than anything else during this training session. If there is time later, I suppose we might review your research on tactics before the actual mission. But for now, we will work on the basics." She held out her hands to Sonata, asking for the papers. "I will see to it that these are taken care of until our return."

((sorry for taking so long... school, homework sweatdrop ))
Aria changes out of her work-out clothes and into a loose, flow-y skirt from her homeworld as well as a military-issued tank-top and flak jacket((is that the right spelling?)).

She pins her hair up in a simple though complex looking style, to keep it out of the way. Then she puts on her combat boots, which are also military-issued, and her gun holster she places on the upper part of her left leg. After changing, she hurries to the gateroom, skirt flowing behind her.

She arrives shortly after Rourke and Hunter finish picking up Rourke's papers. Smiling appolegetically to the CO, she takes a moment to catch her breath form the run to get here. Her outfit looks bizare, a mixture of civilian SGC uniform and Aria's homeworld.

"I appologize for my tardiness, it won't become habit."
She says to her teammembers in general, after the formal greeting to both the CO as well as the SCO(scientists commanding officer)  

[DeirdreTonbo]

"Oh... oh right." With little regret, Sonata allowed Hunter to relieve her of the papers in her hands. They were completely out of order anyway. Even if she'd had the time to work on them during the excersize, she would have only been putting them back into order in time to go back to the base and the papers that were already in order.

Lockwood managed, somehow, to keep her jaw shut as Aria walked into the gateroom. This.... had to be a joke of some sort. Was this girl for real? Striding over toward the off-worlder, the colonel cleared her throat.

"You want to go finish getting dressed now, Aria? Put some speed into it, you're pushing late enough as it is."  

[Heather Samilka]

Lee raised her left eyebrow at Aria's clothing, she just would let Lockwood deal with this one. No point in adding anymore fuel to the already raging fire that was this team or lack of it. Turning back to the men she got the rest of the gear back into the proper containers and then stood back.

She had no clue when this was going to start, and the skirt being worn on the off-worlder was not conductive for a good training experience. Lee had seen this happen once to a girl who was in basic with her. The girl had shown up late and the instructor instead of making the girl change forced the girl to go run in the skirt. Needless to say, the girls skirt had been tattered and torn by the end of the exercise.

Emmy rolled her head up just far enough to take in the scene. She chuckled softly to herself at Sonata's entrance, and Hunter's awkward confiscation of her paperwork, and she chuckled again at Aria's entrance, dressed for a dance rather than a field exercise. She wondered if she had ever been as naive as them about what went on during combat training. She chuckled again and slumped back over. Field training with Jaffa... they'd find out soon enough just what it was really like. That colonel... she was a real hard-a** to be tossing them to the mercy of Jaffa given how green they obviously were. Of course, given the difficulty and urgency of the mission, there was probably little choice. There was not much time before they had to go for real - there was not much time at all to prepare.

Meanwhile Hunter stood with Sonata's papers in her hands, having walked a few paces way, but finding herself at a loss as to what to do with them. Finally a helpful airman stepped over, a grin playing on his face. "Taking those with you, sir?" he asked, mischievously.

"Funny," Hunter replied, handing him the papers, "Please get these to Dr. Rourke's room and..." she thought for a moment, "File them?"

The airman laughed, "Yes, sir." With a final look at Emmy sprawled out on the floor, Sonata apparently wondering what to do with herself, and the strange outfit on the young alien, he strolled off.

Hunter walked back to Sonata. "I had him take them to your room," she said, her voice flat and soft, "I hope that will be satisfactory, Doctor." She glanced at Emmy and Aria, then back to Sonata, "Dr. Rourke, it would appear that your team is in need of some leadership. Would you like some assistance getting them organized?"

Coming out of Kelnoreem, she opened her eyes and exhaled deeply. While in the meditative state, the Goa'uld symbiote in her stomach had healed her of the minor wounds she had sustained before coming to the SGC. It had been just a week ago that she had left her brethren on Hak'tyl in order to find a more peaceful way of staying alive. The Hak'tyl assaulted and took other Jaffa's symbiotes in order to maintain their longevity. Before finding the free Jaffa who put her in touch with the SGC, she'd been attacked by a patrol, and had thought herself finished. As fate would have it though, she was rescued, and here she was now.

Rising to her feet, Sandry doused each candle she had lit all over her quarters and stopped in the middle of the room. Realizing she was late, she frowned and grabbed her jacket. As her pants were, the jacket had a camo pattern. Pulling it on, she gave the room one last look and nodded, having gone through a checklist of what she may have forgotten. Leaving the room now, she hurried down the corridor towards the gate room. Composing herself as she got there, Sandry strode in and stopped in front of Lockwood. Inclining her head a bit, her long red hair fell in her face. "My apologies for being late Colonel Lockwood."

The system lords and other jaffa had always said that the Tauri were weak; that they could be crushed easily, but Sandry had seen different. They were indeed a force to be reckoned with, and she for one would never underestimate them again. Add to that the fact that Teal'c worked in the four man squad known as SG-1, and she had no problem at all working beside them. If the former first prime of Apophis could learn to cope with the changes, she could too.  

[Aenakume]

Emmy had pulled herself up to a slumped sitting position against the back wall of the gate room so that she could drink her drink. She blearily watched the preparations going on around her, her legs sprawled open in front of her. When the Jaffa soldier made her appearance, and her apology, she spoke up loudly from her corner, speaking with a thick, fake British accent:

"See that it never happens again... or you will be SHOT!"

Then she turned her attention back to her drink, as if nothing had happened.  

[Rogue Storm Astarael]

Aria looks down at her outfit, which she had used in training bouts on her numerous visits to the off-world base. She picked her skirt for its less-restrictive-ness and it was a very durable material, despite looking almost flimsy.

"I see nothng wrong with my outfit, colonel. And it's not like there'll be any wardrobe malfunctions, i did remember to wear shorts under this, wanna see?" She says as she lifts her head back up to look at Lockwood, her somewhat childish humor poking its head out for a brief joke, her mouth had also turned up in a little joking smile at the last bit. She turns to where the other alien member of this mission entered. She had been intrigued by this 'Jaffa' woman.  

[DeirdreTonbo]

"Regardless of whether you see something wrong with it or not, you'll have to go finish changing. Go back to your quarters and if you really think you're going to be allowed on this mission in a skirt don't bother coming back."

Lockwood regarded Aria a moment longer before turning toward Sandry. A small smile played on the colonel's lips as she finally responded, "You're not the only one who's late. Looks like nearly everyone is here though. There's just a little bit of waiting left to be done and we're ready to go."

Sonata was watching the exchange between Aria and Kaede with some interest as well, her eyes unreadable behind her glasses and her lips pursed just slightly. Finally, deciding it would be better not to step into the situation, she turned her attention back to Hunter. "I'm sorry, what did you say?"  

[Aenakume]

Hunter nodded toward Emmy and Aria. "Well, Dr. Rourke, your team members seem to be having some difficulty preparing for our training mission. Your technologist is wearing a summer dress to a battle exercise, mocking the commanding officer and making googly eyes at the other team members. Your engineer is passed out semi-conscious on the floor, possibly hungover, and is threatening to have her team mates executed for tardiness."

Hunter studied Rourke's face. "Perhaps I could offer you some assistance getting them organized?"  

[DeirdreTonbo]

Sonata considered Hunter's words, keeping her eyes locked with the soldier's. For all that she seemed small and easy to push around, there was a definite granite-like quality to her eyes. She didn't look away, almost daring Hunter to back down first. Just before the stare-down could become too intense, Dr. Rourke smiled. "Fine, you can have Daisy-may over there. I'll take care of Emmy."

The scientist turned on her heel and walked to where Emmy was still slouched against the back wall of the gateroom. Pushing her glasses up her nose, she crouched down in front of the physicist, watching with interest.  

[Heather Samilka]

Lee watched all of this commotion from her vantage point by the equipment. She had nothing else to do, and she had not been asked to intervene or help at all. The entrance of the Jaffa woman caused her to raise a brow and take another look. From the second look she guessed the woman was very powerful and very well trained. It would be fun to see how she herself faired against the Jaffa woman.

Since she was not needed, Lee decided to pull out a book from her pack and start reading. It was a book on demolitions and the latest explosives that had been created. Lee found it interesting and it helped her keep a leg up on the newest ways to blow things up.  

[XxArturia_PendragonxX]

Hearing the fierce reprimand from the scientist in the corner, she raised a brow, but remained silent. Obviously this was Doctor Devereux, but the jaffa was unsure whether or not her words rang true. Did she have the authority to have her shot, or was it just talk. Either way, Sandrilene wasn't so comfortable with the Tauri that she'd let them shoot at her. Perhaps Teal'c would, but not her. Still, Devereux was a scientist, not a soldier. There was only reason to worry if someone like Lockwood said such a thing.

Upon hearing the colonel's words, Sandry smiled in return and inclined her head a touch. "Very well." Stepping back, she glanced at Aria and nodded again. She'd never conversed with the other alien. Perhaps there'd be time later. She couldn't wait to leave, not giving the possibility of never coming back a second thought. Sandry had recently switched her symbiote for a new one. The last one she'd ever kill a fellow Jaffa to get. It meant death in the long run, but she was quite alright with that by now. Absentmindedly running a hand through her hair, she waited for the departure.  

[Aenakume]

As Doctor Rourke turned and went over to Emmy, Hunter followed her with her eyes. Rourke had not waited for a response from Hunter, which Hunter found curious. She waited until the Doctor was well out of earshot, before saying, softly, "As you wish."

Hunter walked over to the Colonel and Aria. "Colonel," she said, with a nod, "Dr. Rourke has asked me to assist Miss Aria with her combat kit." She turned to Aria, "Miss Aria, if you will follow me?"

Meanwhile, Emmy noticed Rourke squatting in front of her, and sat up slightly, wordlessly meeting her gaze.  

[Sterling Rogue]

As though it were purposefully interrupting every conversation in the room, the Stargate whirred into life. Automatically, alarms sounded, even though the activation was expected.

"Incoming wormhole, scheduled off-world activation."

Regardless, soldiers raised their weapons. Even if there was a team expected, the unknown was always possible. The symbols around the gate spun, each chevron lighting up as it was activated. Finally the entire mechanism lit up, the event horizon of the wormhole flushing out and them shimmering briefly within the opening. Immediately, the iris closed, a normal precaution.

"Tok'ra IDC. Opening the Iris."

With a mechanical sound, the iris of the Stargate opened, revealing once more the water-like surface of the wormhole. The suspense rose as, for what seemed like an eternity, nothing appeared from the gate. With the distinctive sound of someone stepping out of the gate, Ceridwelle appeared. With her tanned skin and brown clothing, the only spot of true color on the traveller was her red hair.

Guns were lowered and the Tok'ra member of the team strode down the ramp with a steady gait and a natural sway to her hips. Instinctively, the symbiote within her warned her of the presence of another, and golden-brown eyes flicked to stare at Sandrilene. But she came to stop before Kaede, putting one hand to her chest and bowing.

"Colonel Lockwood. I am Kyrin. It is a pleasure to finally meet you."
