No 4: Explosions and precociousness
They were in the control room as it was one of the easiest place to hold a meeting. Greer frustrated, "We need to get the doors open but don't have the right explosives."
Lt Scott spoke up, "His right sir. Sadly we don't even have many for defence purposes either."
Rush remembered an old conversation, "Elizabeth if we get you an inventory think you can up with something?"
The linguist peered up from her data pad looking incredibly happy at the thought, "What do you want the explosion to say?"
He the saw the glint, "Nothing that will blow the ship up. We just need doors to open up though I'm sure the Colonel would be happy for some that could blow up a ship."
She stood gracefully, "Come on son I'll show you a really cool branch of maths."
Eli looked to Dr Rush, "You weren't kidding you."
Rush actually smiled and it wasn't a fake one either, "Nope go on she's about to teach you something unique son."
"ELI"
They may have seemed more friendly but it didn't mean that either liked to wait. Eli rolled his eyes, "Coming mother!"
Young waited till they had refocused, "Can anyone tell me why I've just let a linguist go and make explosives?"
Rush chuckled thinking how best to explain Dr Elizabeth Cooper, "You have no doubt heard the stories of Dr McKay making a bomb when he was twelve. Well Elizabeth was precocious and made her first nuke when she was eight," frowning, "To do this day MI6 are unsure how she got the uranium."
TJ's nose wrinkled in confusion, "Well why was she listed as a linguist at Icarus?"
Rush tiredly rubbed his face, a few noticed the absence of the wedding band, "Well Elizabeth has an idectic memory and can easily master a field in three years and once she has she becomes bored so switches."
Young finally understood, "You trust her which is why you are happy to work with her."
"Yes she still oversees the linguists but works directly with me and Eli. Since we've started to work as a team we've made incredible progress."
He the left to join after all Lizzie wasn't the only that enjoyed making things go boom.
