Of Jellyfish and Space Travelers
Landmark 30th Chapter
"Captain, I'm picking up a strange energy reading coming from the hull of the ship." reported Daniel, looking passively up at Mitchell.
"Should I try and make contact with it?" asked Sam.
"What? That's not possible, ensign."
"Can you reverse the… polarity?" said Mitchell, twisting around in his chair.
"Reverse the polarity of what?" asked Daniel, frowning. "What would that do?"
"Dammit, cap'n, the engines are goin' te blow!" screeched Carson from somewhere in the engine room.
"Oh, lord! Clear the bridge, O'Neill!"
"Dammit, Captain, I'm a doctor, not a colonel!"
"We don't have time for this! We need to pick up the cargo and get these fugitives to the inner planets. The Alliance won't give up on them!" reminded Teal'c. "We're not going to get paid for reversing the polarity."
"Shiny! Let's be bad guys."
"Oh, shut up!" snapped Elizabeth. "We need to get the ship to land, but her engines won't speak to me!"
"Maybe we could blow something up…"
"I'll be praying for your soul, son."
"Preacher, get off the bridge!"
"I think I see aliens!" remarked Ronon. "If I can just get out there, I might be able to find her…"
"I don't even know how to respond to that." said Teyla calmly. "I know it has been your life's work, but aliens do not exist."
"No, Teyla! The government is working against us to hide the truth! It's still out there!"
"What's out there?" asked Daniel, tying to drag the Captain away from the bridge.
"THE TRUTH IS OUT THERE!" yelled Ronon, gesturing wildly.
"Trust no one?" offered Sam.
"Okay, stop!" yelled Jonas. "This is crazy. I think I'm missing some references."
"Indeed." agreed Teal'c. "These references to Earth's popular culture are lost on me."
Daniel and Jack looked at each other and shrugged.
"Let's head down to Global Dynamics. Make sure you call the sheriff too, he might want to know that the café's on fire."
"What café?"
LOL, that was a pretty fun chapter to write. How many shows can you guys recognize? )
