IC: Gate technologies, Stargate: 2064 Options

[Morgannah]

Whisper followed at the rear of their little entourage, keeping a careful eye on their beagle buddy as well as their general vicinity, glad again for the light clothing that covered her from head to toe. Sure, she was sweating, but at least her skin wouldn't be extra-crispy by 'nightfall.' The prospect of using her ahh, talents on the ziggurat brought a light smile to her face although when the idea was just as quickly discarded, the smile vanished. Her sullen remark wouldn't have registered in most ears and certainly not over their transcievers. "It didn't have to be a big one ...."

With a bit of a shrug, she takes one small step forward and sniffs the air coming from the newly opened passage, her head tilted to one side in an oddly birdlike gesture.

"Yanno," Cosmo begins as he returns after a few moments, "I was, like, lookin' o'er those video streams I snagged from the drones when I, uh... noticed sumfin'. Looks like there's at least two suns here, and if I'm not mistaking, they're timed so that as soon as one is setting, the other's rising. I could be wrong though... kinda hard to tell with these bummed streams."

[Moonstone Spider]

Torque Examines the opening a moment.
Torque: "That's some impressive work Cosmo, really great. I figured alien technology would be a lot harder to manage. Inside the air's probably stagnant and unbreathable, anybody else feel like getting the tents and setting them up so we can wait a little more comfortably?"

[A Clockwork Lime]

"It was harder than it looked, man."

[Shadow]

Snoopy trots forward a few feet toward the entrance. Sniffs the air a few times, and then takes a few more steps in.

[kevyn668]

Getting to his feet, "The dog seems to think its safe." <shrugs>

[Morgannah]

Pausing for only a moment, she nods to Chase.

"Acceptable levels of c-carbon dioxide, though I d-don't reccomend prolonged exposure if it can be avoided."

Whisper wipes absently at the bead of sweat that hangs from the tip of her pert nose.

[BGMFH]

"I suggest we take 10 and then head inside... we dont want to rush in and scare the entombed demondragonking."

[kevyn668]

"I don't see any other viable course of action," Chase leans up against the wall but keeps his eyes and his weapon locked on the doorway. "Here's a thought. What if this thing ain't a tomb? What if its a prison--a cage? Magic exists here." He looks at Ghost Dragon, "We know this. The people were primitive. It'd be easy for a spirit or a...a...Some other magical nasty to convince these people he's a demon king. Frag, he could have actually a dragon. Whatever it is, is probably still alive. And pissed off."

Ghost Dragon follows after Snoopy and casts an invisibility spell on himself. He says, "Be careful, Snoopy. Do not get too far ahead of me. Go as quietly as you can."

He sneaks along behind Snoopy into the ziggurat's entrance.

[Tziluthi]

"With any luck he hadn't heard of grenades yet," Os says as he goes into the temple.

[BGMFH]

James stands up, looks at Os, and says "Amen, brother," then heads on in.

[kevyn668]

"With little more luck, he'll never get the chance to learn." Chase flashes a devilish grin at Os.

"You guys ready?" He says to the rest of the team.

Ours is not question why...

[A Clockwork Lime]

With a mouth full of burrito, Cosmo manages to eek out a "yeah, man. Let's, uh, lock and load or whatever."

"That is, without a doubt, the lamest thing you have ever said," the Mad Hatter exasperated within the hallowed ground of Cosmo's shattered mind.

"Sh'up," was his only response as he casually fell into line behind everyone else.

[kevyn668]

[Moonstone Spider]

Torque: "I feel so safe around all these brave fighters I'll just let you handle the shooting. If you get shot at back I'll be right here at the back of the group."

[BGMFH]

"Fleet does the flying, Mobile Infantry does the dying," drifts over the radio. "Just don't look like the radio guy or an officer. Battery-powered grunts and officers always get shot first. Makes it harder to call in fire support. And remember, friendly fire does not offer to shake hands. That would be a friendly fire elemental."

[kevyn668]

My God. He's got space dementia.

[A Clockwork Lime]

Cosmo stops in his tracks upon hearing James' words about the radio guy. Readjusting his rose-tinted glasses, he nonchalantly readjusts the remote-control deck on his back so that it's underneath the light camouflage jacket Alex's team set everyone up with. Another readjustment of his shades has him continuing onward, nary a word spoken in between.

While following the others, the dwarf seems to be more distant than normal. Unbeknownst to everyone but the Mad Hatter and himself, his mind is preoccupied with the glyphs they found on the door outside. The symbols mull around as he tries to look past their literal meanings in order to gain insight into putting all the pieces of the puzzle together to discover what they truly represent.

[crechebaby]

Ran unsheathes her katana with a quiet steely slither before heading in near the front of the line.

[kevyn668]

Chase adjusts his line of fire to clear Ran.

[Moonstone Spider]

Torque starts to make a comment about bringing a sword to a gunfight, then belatedly remembers he's the one who brought a whip on the grounds that it would look cool. He hides the near-faux-pas as a cough instead and busily examines the hallway they're in.

[Shadow]

Ran leads the pack into the hallway behind the floppy eared dog. Snoopy has stopped a few feet in, presumably to let his vision adjust to the gloomy hallway. The inside seems a few degrees cooler; that is until Ran takes a single step passed the beagle. A wall of cold assaults her as the temperature drops significantly. One moment it was warm, the next, it is freezing. She turns to speak and the rest of the team can see her breath as she exhales.

[Leowulf]

Ghost Dragon stops to take a look and make sure the ward is down. He slides his vision over to the astral to examine the path in front of him.

The crystal controls the ward. I wonder if there is some way to trick the mechanism.

[crechebaby]

"What the..?"

Ran looks around, trying to discern the cause of the temperature change. Not that it isn't welcome. Just... unnerving.
