Chapter 4: Plans in Motion.
Now that Lindy knew about the Tel'tak and the truth about where Eddie had been sneaking off to, Eddie no longer had to hide his activities. Now the dining room table had been commandeered and had piles of paperwork. Eddie was in fact at this moment working on refining his sketch of the Tok'ra Alternate reality drive.
Each stack was specific to a certain example of technology that Eddie had gleamed from the Tel'tak and his Tok'ra memories. Each sheet of paper, seemed to have a ring of stained coffee where a cup containing the liquid had sat during Eddies many drawing sessions.
While drawing these schematics down onto paper, Eddie had also begun a pile devoted to future use of these technologies on the planet. Projects like the upgrading of the ISS and the production of the new breed of space shuttles, could both greatly benefit from the technology that Eddie now possessed.
With the ISS utilising Goa'uld artificial gravity and Goa'uld life-support systems, the expansion of the station into a true orbital habitat and subsequent updating of the stations technology, could greatly benefit the world as a whole. With the new space shuttles using artificial gravity, life-support systems and Goa'uld sub-light engines, Man could explore the Sol system in years instead of decades.
But that was a long way off. Eddie had another day of holiday time and then he had to go back onto the campaign trail. He had decided the night before, that if he was elected into the senate then that was great. But if he wasn't, then he'd return to his company and begin his plan of taking over the world financial world.
After finishing the blueprint, Eddie held it up to the light and smiled. He had wrote all of the design details and explanations in Tok'ra, which was a derivative of Goa'uld, which itself was a derivative of Ancient Egyptian.
No one in the modern world could decipher the text. If the derivative text wasn't hard enough to decipher, the Tok'ra code that Eddie had wrote it in would just make it seem like gibberish. Only a Tok'ra with the specific keystone could unlock all of the data and math that was spread out over the pages.
Eddie had gone over the math twice and would no doubt check it again after he'd managed to write all of the formulas and equations down. The sound of a key being slid into the door and the click of it unlocking caught Eddies attention.
"Eddie?" Lindys voice echoed through the house. Eddie got up out of his oak chair and headed to the door. Lindy was struggling with two brown paper bags that were no doubt full of unneeded groceries.
"Got enough?" Eddie teased as he grabbed the bags off of his fiancé. She smiled as he walked off into the kitchen with a bag under each arm. Lindy took off her coat and threw it onto the kitchen counter. Eddie dumped the two bags onto the counter and dived a hands into a bag each. Lindy watched in amusement as Eddie routed around in the large brown bags.
"Found anything you like?" Lindy smirked.
"Hold on, I'm nearly at the bottom." Eddie concentrated. Lindy just smiled as she pulled a box of Twinkies out of her purse. She shook the box and Eddies attention was focused on her.
"Where were they?" Edward asked with his hands unmoving in the bags.
"I hid them in my purse." Lindy giggled.
"That's just mean. Oh, now I have somewhere to hide them when we go to your parents house." Eddie joked.
"I don't think so!" Lindy laughed.
"Oh, no?" Eddie said slowly taking his hands out of the bags.
"You want them?" Lindy teased. Eddie stood perfectly still. His eyes fixed on the box of delicious cakes.
"Yes." Eddie nodded, not taking his eyes off of the box.
"Then come and get them." Lindy teased.
"I might just do that." Eddie said as he took a step forward. This immediately caused Lindy to take a step back.
"Like that is it?" Edward asked as both he and Lindy took another step.
"Maybe it is." Lindy giggled.
"TWINKIES!" Eddie shouted as he ran at his fiancé. Lindy just laughed and ducked out of the way. She ran up the stairs towards the bedroom and Eddie pursued her as fast as his legs would carry him.
