Rule number Seven. The scientists are allowed to play with children's toys.
A/N: This is rule seven the whole rule will get posted just like the other one, at the top of the page. So no freaking out about not knowing said rule please!
Rule #7, The Scientists are allowed to play with children's toys.
Apparently, the scientists had bribed the Daedalus crew to bring them Earth toys. Now, the brightest minds of two galaxies were playing with things like Legos and Tinker Toys. It was kinda scary but wicked cool when they used the toys during a demonstration.
Atlantis was being it's usual crazy selves, right before the Daedalus dropped off much needed supplies. There was already a hoarding of coffee going on, but that's another story. Anyway, back to this one. The Scientists were acting more secretive than normal, well normal for them and all. You have two scientists in the same room and they end up not telling each other everything, same went for magicians, I mean who could blame them for not telling their secrets? It kept them in business after all.
Any-who, I've got to stop with the rabbit trails. The Daedalus was due back at Atlantis in two days, and the Scientists were acting might suspicious. The soldiers werenormally suspicious but that's because they had been in plenty of life and death situations, but Scientists, they couldn't keep secrets for nothing. Just ask any scientist off the street and they'll end up blurting out every single secret they have.
When the Daedalus arrived, two days later, all the scientists were acting like it was Christmas. It wasn't even July, yet people! After, beaming several crates down to the gate room, the whole crew of scientists had gone through every single box and pulled out.. legos, tinker toys, duplex blocks, if it could build cool things, like K'nex and stuff, they had it brought to Atlantis. When the Soldiers saw all the Scientists acting like children, their eye-balls were on the floor, rolling. They SO did not see that one coming.
For the remaining afternoon and two whole days, walking into the labs was hazardous for your health. Walking on Legos is not possible, the soldiers found out, especially if you were bare-foot or you broke the scientists' Legos. But for the first two demonstrations, everyone wanted to see what the Scientists had built. The first one was a gate and surrounding area of a planet, complete with ruins and everything.
The scientist who built it ended up having to leave it in the briefing room, so that everyone that wanted to see it, could. Everyone was mightily impressed, too. The 'gate looked authentic and the ruins, oh those were like miniature ones of the planet's. People ended up making lego people, that looked like each other, and Dr. Weird having to devote a whole room to Legos.
The Second demo, was of a Jumper and a couple hive ships and thousands of darts. It looked like it had taken hours to finish, so no one touched it, they didn't want to ruin it for the others. Every one, including Ronon was impressed by the amount of detail the ships had. That coming from Ronon was like getting a Nobel prize, he wasn't that talkative.
And once everyone had seen the first two demonstrations, if there were any more demos, every single person in Atlantis would drop what they'd be doing and go see it. The Legos, K'Nexes, Tinker toys, and several others had made their name known in the Pegasus Galaxy it looked like. And now, in every shipment, there is one box full of toys for the Scientists, and one rec room, had undoubted become the play room, because even Scientists needed some children toys. It helped the ideas flow and they came up with wackier and more crazy plans from then on. Which in the Pegasus galaxy was saying something, because Earth was steadily getting saner, while the Pegasus Galaxy was getting all the crazies.
