I'm happy today... finished the fourth chapter and got my teaser up. Just a warning now... this is a little on the short side... and I plan on slipping a few more foreign curse words in here. I've found some pretty good Arabic ones...

OKAY LET'S TRY THIS AGAIN... LET THE CARTOOOONS BEGINཀ

"Hey Levine."

Emako grumbled something unintelligible under her breath and some how managed to roll over on her bench without falling off.

"Levine, wake up."

"Kel zag." she mumbled, blearily opening one eye for a half a microsecond and closing it again.

"Levine. Up. Now."

"Bhend chowd." she replied, not even bothering to open her eye this time.

"Levine, get your pathetic excuse for an ass up so I can drag it up to the control room."

"Why would I feel remotely impelled to do that, Major?" she asked sleepily, stifling a yawn.

"Because if you don't I'll..."

"Drag my pathetic excuse for an ass up to the control room?"

But she was getting up, and, more importantly, speaking English. The Major watched impatiently as she stretched, yawned, and picked up her legal pad.

"Now, before for McKay releases the force field, let's get a few things straight. If you make any sudden moves, I'll shoot you. If you make any suspicious moves, I'll shoot you."

"If I do anything that even vaguely resembles an attempt at escaping, espionage, or contacting enemies, you'll shoot me. Can we just get this over with?" Emako pleaded.

"Glad we understand each other." Sheppard replied, as the incessant buzzing of the force field stopped, and Emako stepped up to the door.

POINTS TO THE PEOPLE WHO CAN TRANSLATE THE CURSE WORDSཀ

"Elizabeth, you take grounding station two. I'll take grounding station one. Major, you take stations three and four." Dr McKay instructed

"Woah woah woah, wait a second. Where are stations three and four?" Sheppard asked

"Here and here." McKay answered, pointing at two different spots on the map.

"And we are..?" Sheppard questioned

"Here." The major raised on eyebrow. "Yes. I need to get done quickly so I can start working on the subroutines, and Elizabeth was complaining about her knee the other day..."

Emako sighed slightly, shifting her weight idly and glancing at the Stargate. At least Sheppard had given some consideration to Genii, instead of the two guards that were posted during the show, eight soldiers, excluding the Major , were milling about the control room.

"And by 'brisk' you mean 'far?'" asked the Major

"No, by 'walk' I mean 'run.'"McKay clarified.

"Okay." Sheppard replied, throwing his hands up in the air in mock surrender. "Now, you guys." he turned to the military personnel, who stopped talking at once. "If something comes through the 'gate and you don't know what it is, shoot at it. If something comes through the 'gate and you know what it is, then keep it in the control room." he sighed slightly, and glared in my general direction. "And make sure Levine doesn't leave either. Don't die." he turned back to Drs. Weir and McKay. "Let's go."

Emako looked at the Stargate again. This was going to be one looong day.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

Yeah, that kinda sucked. Please feel free to the flame, I think my plot bunny's getting a little lazy lately, so suggestions are mightily ecouraged.
