IC: Gate technologies, Stargate: 2064 Options

[Shadow]

A few tense moments pass as the team half expects the gate to open and spew forth more of the incredibly strong alien warriors. It does not.

The sun finally finishes it's trek and drops into the ocean. The temperature adjusts a few degrees downward but nothing life threatening. Probably around sixty-five degrees.

The jungle noises slowly shift as well. The caterwauls and screeches of the day give way to the louder, more bass noise of some form of cricket.

The two moons illuminate the sky with a mirky haze. One is white as Luna, the other a blood red.

[Leowulf]

Ghost Dragon finds a place to sit down and rest off the funk he put himself in with all those spells he cast. He doesn't participate in the discussion. He simply lays down against a nearby object and closes his eyes.

[Tziluthi]

Os sits down, staying out from under any trees in case something lives in them, and shuts his eyes.

1 hour, he thinks as he goes to sleep.

[BGMFH]

James flips over to radio-only and lowers the volume.

"Chase, Os is going to sleep. You and Ran decide who's taking this watch with me, and we'll switch in 6 hours."

[crechebaby]

Ran watches the entire group more or less collectively collapse where they stand--Os snoring lightly, and Cosmo smacking his lips as he inhales his burrito. She finds a rock to settle down against, with a good view of the trail leading away from the Stargate.

"I think they need some time, J," Ran murmurs to James via the comm, "before we go charging off into adventures unknown. I'll take the first watch with you."

[BGMFH]

"Understood Ran. Chase, grab some Z's. Torque, if you want to work on me, now is your chance."

[Shadow]

Sunrise. A more glorious sight earthly eyes have never seen. James dubbed the world Atlantis, but Paradise would be a better description. All night a warm, tropical breeze flowed off the water, keeping the group comfortable during their much needed slumber.

As the orange sun rose it lit up the sky like a fireball. Brilliant shades of un-earthly colors splashed around the island.

[Misfit Toy]

As most of the others started to wake up, they found Cosmo just sitting at the head of his board, watching the sunrise while munching on a breakfast burrito. It was pretty evident he didn't sleep a wink all night.

"Dude. I've so gotta catch a wave, man."

[Leowulf]

Ghost Dragon can be heard mumbling in his sleep. He sits up suddenly and says, "No!", following it with a malicious growl. "One day.." he says quietly.

[Misfit Toy]

Cosmo turns and gives Ghost Dragon a curious look. "Aw c'mon man, I ju..." he begins, not realizing he was talking to his dreams "...oh." His attention turns back to the waves.

At least it was a quite night

Chase wanders over to where Cosmo is spaced out. "Hey Cos, I forgot to tell you in all the comotion back there, I got that gauntlet thing right before we made it off the last word. Here." He hands the dwarf the device. "I figure even if you can't make any sense of it, the tech-heads back home'll be interested."

Chase scans the 'camp' area and turns on the mic. "James. Chase. Maybe we should take a look around since we're gonna be here for a few days. If you can spare Oz or Ran, we could do a recon of the surrounding area. Maybe we can find something useful. If nothing else, Cos said we need the Dial Home thing to, well, dial home."

[Misfit Toy]

"Huh? Guantlet thing? Whatchoo talkin' 'bout, man?" He looks at the device and his glazed eyes almost sparkle. "Dude... too cool."

The little stoner plops back down on his board and starts tinkering around with it.

[Leowulf]

Ghost Dragon brushes his hair back and stands up, feeling rested from the few hours of sleep.

Over the radio, he says, "Do we have a plan?"

[kevyn668]

In response to Ghost Dragon's question Chase turns off the mic, "Yeah, chummer. We got a plan: hurry up and wait." He smiles good naturedly and fishes around in his pouches until he comes up with a pack of Llama Lights. He looks at the cigarettes and sighs heavily deciding not to induldge that particular pleasure. Seeing Cosmo happily chomp away on yet another burritto does not help.

[BGMFH]

James flips over to voice radio. "James to Chase. Take whomever you want, I'll babysit the gate area for the first recon run, stay within a few hundred meters please."

[kevyn668]

"Rodger that. Ran? Oz? Who wants to go sight seeing?"

[Shadow]

...and there are abundant sights to see. The morning reveals the lavish jungle that is spread before you. Behind you is an incredible beach that stretches on and on. With waves that seem made for riding.

[crechebaby]

Ran is on her feet in moments, strapping her sword back into place.

"I knew I should have brought a camera," she muttered, glancing over her shoulder at the alien sunrise. "Folks back home would get a kick out of this."

[kevyn668]

"Good idea," Chase takes out the digital camera and snaps off a few shots of the sunrise, the beach and the local flora. He looks up a Ran with a smile, "You want copies?"

[Misfit Toy]

While pushing buttons at random and scanning for the results, Cosmo let's a mellow "whooooooa" escape his lips as he produces a nutrino burst. After playing with it for a few more minutes, he decides to clamp it to his own arm for safekeeping.

Turning to those still in the area, he pipes up. "If we, like, don't find one of those phone home jingerthingies, it might not be too hard to rig sumfin' up afterall."

[Tziluthi]

"Only we'll have to dial the gate, right?" Os adds.

[Misfit Toy]

"Yeah, but I think we can do that manually, man. That's, like, what they were doin' back home."

[Tziluthi]

"Only we'll be doing it without the benefit of machinery."

[kevyn668]

"Can we do that by hand?" He looks back and forth between the two speakers.

Chase lets the question hang in the air for a moment and turns to Os and Ran. "So, who's comin' and who's staying? We're burning daylight here." He smiles and pulls down the tinted goggles to let them hang around his neck.

"If not, I'm sure I could totally work sumfin' out. But, like, it'd still be seriously better to find the thing... with the button crystal thingies... yeah."

Standing up and dusting off his boxers, Cosmo unloads his board and grabs it under an arm. How he manages to do this is a true mystery, but he does it nonetheless. "All right, dudes, I'm gonna go... yanno... focus on these addresses and stuff. If you need me just, like, let me know or sumfin'. Shyeah. Later."

With that, he starts heading down towards the beach.
