Kevin was worried now…being new to the base, he wasn't used to deadly situations like the SGC personnel were. He wasn't militarily trained, hadn't used a firearm before and would rather not…but that seemed like it would change sooner rather than later.

The once quiet base wasn't quiet anymore. The klaxons were blaring, the red lights were spinning, the base was in chaos. Whatever was happening in the 'Gate Room' wasn't good… After that guy called for more backup over the PA, SF's and what seemed like every soldier on the floor had gathered and gone to the levels below. Whatever it was that was going on had created mixed emotions in Kevin. The normally curious hacker was torn between wanting to know exactly what was occurring and the will to keep himself safe. His thoughts had led him to think of the danger's that could come through the gate. Nothing on earth could compare to the things they could encounter. What Major Carter said that not all the people…no…beings out there were friendly, and while he didn't show it then, that made him worried. Worrying wasn't normal for him, but having to deal with the existence of aliens, dealing with danger on a daily basis and having this all happen in the span of a week or so? Well, that's enough to make anyone a little awestruck and worried.

With all the noise and the sense of danger, Kevin was trying to find someone, anyone that could tell him what was going on, and if what was happening was dangerous. The halls were empty and deserted for the most part, occasionally a scientist or doctor would run by, probably being told to leave.

'Boy…what did I get myself into…'

After wandering the halls and seemingly circling the base a few times, Kevin caught sight of an SF standing at the entrance of a weapons lockup.

'Yes…finally…'

"Um…sir?"
"What.?"

The man clearly didn't want to be bothered.

"Is what's going on in the 'Gate Room' dangerous?"
"Yes."
"Do I need to be worried?"
"Maybe."
"Do I need to be armed?"
"Wouldn't hurt."
"Where can I get a weapon?"
"You don't have one?"

The SF was surprised that Kevin didn't have any kind of firearm. Everyone on the base had at least one, especially the scientists and doctors. In this base, not having a gun was like going to work in a bathing suit. It just won't work, and after a while, you tend to feel uncomfortable.

"Well…I'm new here…"
"Oh…the geek."
"Uh…yeah."

'Why does everyone refer to me as The Geek or That hacker? Cant anyone just remember my name? I mean, it isn't that hard…Kevin….two syllables, easy enough to remember…but th….'

Kevin's thoughts were derailed when the SF got impatient with Kevin. He had finally realized why this geek didn't have a weapon.

"Aren't you supposed to be under guard?"
"They all left to deal with whatever's going on."
"So now you want a gun?"
"If my life could be in danger, yeah."
"Follow me."

The SF went into the armory he was in front of and came out with a Beretta and 2 extra clips.

"There. Now you can defend yourself in a worst case scenario. There's only one rule you have to follow. You can't carry it around all the time. This is just for these kind of situations."
"How bad is it down there…?"
"From the sounds of things…not good."
