Title: Pegasus' forum

Author: Jammeke

Summary: Dr. Weir meant to create a forum for strictly professional purposes. The other expedition members have their own reasons for opening topics.

Disclaimer: Unfortunately, I don't own Stargate Atlantis.

AN: I will chronologically work my way through each season of Stargate Atlantis. Each chapter will be about five different episodes. The first chapter contains spoilers for Rising I + II, Hide and Seek, 38 Minutes and Suspicion.

Topic: Puddle Jumper! #This topic has been blocked#

Poll: Gate Ship or Puddle Jumper?
Result up to now: Gate Ship; 4 votes / Puddle Jumper; 17 votes

Geniusatwork: I would once again like to point out that I do not approve of the name Puddle Jumper. I see no reason to call a brilliant piece of technology by a ridiculous name. If we gather, say, 50 autographs and hand them over to Dr. Weir, she will have no choice but to listen to us. My suggestion would be: Gate Ship.

Aidundun: It is actually kinda lame… I mean, we call them Jumpers all the time… but do they actually jump? Maybe we should call 'em flyers… or something… I dunno.

Shep: What are you talking about, McKay? Why don't you go get a life, seeing as you don't seem to have one.

Geniusatwork: Oh my, am I supposed to feel insulted?

Shep: No, you are supposed to take the hint. You don't get to rename anything. I do. Period. End of story.

Geniusatwork: And why would you get to name everything? I'm sure Ford feels the same way

Liz38: Major Sheppard and Dr. McKay, I have caught you committing a crime called spam. I will let you get off with a warning for now, but you had better watch it from this moment on.

Poll: Batman or Superman?
Results up to now: Batman; 1 votes / Superman; 52 votes

Shep: As most of you will probably know by now, I am the new Head of Military of Atlantis. Colonel Sumner has been… relieved of duty. So, I'd say it's about time I start acting like a military commander. The new schedules, along with a short list of basic rules, can be found pinned to the door to my office.

YoursTruly: I do not understand. Who is Batman? And who goes by the name of Superman?

Geniusatwork: Why, Batman, of course.

Goofy: Superman.

IwearGLassEs: Superman.

Fairy Tailed Scientist: Superman.

Geniusatwork: By the way… you have an office?

Poll: None

Geniusatwork: I would just like to point out that no one is to test yet untested Ancient devices.

Liz38: Rodney...

Shep: Stop acting like an idiot and... stay alive, okay?

Scotty: I'm sorry for injecting ye with the artificial gene, Rodney...

Geniusatwork: What good is your apology gonna do me? Do you see me eating yet? No? God, I don't want to die…

Poll: Weir or someone else?
Results up to now: Weir; 13 votes / Someone else; 1 votes

Fairy Tailed Scientist: I feel it is my duty to inform everyone of the fact that Dr. Weir should not be leading this expedition. Since we are now cut off from Earth, I think it would be only reasonable to choose a new leader democratically.

Shep: Geez, I can't think of a better waste of time. 1, it's not possible and 2… it's not possible. We can't just choose a new leader like that. You didn't hear this from me, but… there are rules. And breaking them would cause a lot of trouble. Besides… I think Elizabeth's… doing a pretty good job, and everything.

Liz38: Why, thank you John. Dr. Kavanagh, I am afraid your idea has been rejected.

YoursTruly: I do not understand. Why would you choose a new leader? Would it not be natural for Elizabeth's child to take over her position?

IwearGLassEs: Doctor Weir does not have children. She would need a father, yes?

Shep: Are we seriously going to be discussing this matter?

Geniusatwork: Don't even think about it, Radek! You'd be old enough to be the child's grandfather.

Liz38: This conversation ends. Right. Here.

Poll: Have you ever been defibrillated?
Results up to now: Yes; 3 votes / No; 38 votes

Shep: May I have everyone's attention, please? Thank you. You are not, I repeat not to encounter big ugly insects called Iratus Bugs. If you feel like disobeying my order: the moment you encounter an Iratus Bug, you are to turn around and run like hell. And whatever you do, don't shoot it! Just pour salt on it, or something...

Scotty: I don't think the insect's reaction ter gunfire is dangerous if it's no' attached to a human being, lad.

Geniusatwork: Yeah – and it's not like we feel like salting every insect we encounter, Major.

Liz38: John, maybe you should pay Kate a visit, because I believe you are suffering from Posttraumatic Stress Disorder.

Shrinkk38: I have a free spot in my schedule this Friday at eight, Major.

Shep: Would you people please stop undermining my authority in public?

Poll: Athosians or one of us?
Results up to now: Athosians; 6 votes / Us; 0 votes

Lakersfan: I'm sorry to be so blunt about this, but we have a spy on Atlantis, people - and I would like to know who it is. I already suspect an Athosian is behind the treachery, but on the off chance that it's one of our people; could the perpetrator please report to me, so that we can sort this thing out? Thank you.

Shep: Nice, Bates. I'm sure they're going to take numbers and get in line outside your office right away.

Geniusatwork: Yes, I am sure the spy will come running toward you, genius.

Huge: If this is how we are to be treated, I see no reason to remain in this city.

YoursTruly: Maybe we should discuss this matter in person? We should certainly not be accusing each other by means of a device called a lapdog.

Poll: Wraith or Goa'uld?
Results up to now: Wraith; 15 votes / Goa'uld; 9 votes

Shep: Dear personnel, this is your military commander speaking. We are currently keeping a wraith prisoner on this base. Do not taunt the prisoner, and, obviously, do not feed him. Also, stay away from the bars. Thank you.

Goofy: Steve?

Geniusatwork: Don't ask.

Aidundun: I dunno… he seems more like a Bob to me. Todd seems fitting as well…

Shep: Bob and Todd are not open for discussion, Lieutenant. They're as un-wraithy as it gets.

Fairy Tailed Scientist: Why is there a wraith on our base?

Geniusatwork: Why are you on our base? Seriously, enough with the stupid questions. And who the hell took the last brownie yesterday?

TBC…
