Ari graciously accepted the plant and soil sample that Mackar presented to her and gently inserted them into a biobox.  Then sealing the box, she returned it to a safe position in her pack.<strong>"Thank you, it will be treasured."</strong><br/><br/>When he offered the crystal, she lifted a brow, and looking at Simmons for confirmation, accepted the crystal and sealed in a containment sampler as well.<strong> "Again you have my thanks."</strong>Smiling as they both munched on the chocolate.<strong> "Chocolate."</strong>She said, pointing to the bar in his hand.<br/><br/><br/>~~~~~~~~~<br/><br/><br/><div class="quoteheader"><div class="topslice_quote">Quote</div></div><blockquote class="bbc_standard_quote">OK, so am I the only one thinking these ruins might belong to the Ancients and are also protected by the Azgard?" he asked walking a few feet away from Mackar "Because if that's the case then we have quite an opportunity here, militarily and scientifically". Tyler stopped at about ten feet away from where they'd stood only moments before.<br/>"Ok, now that we know a little bit about this world and what it offers. I want to discuss Mackar, he seems nice enough so far but, I'm a Marine, I see potential traps everywhere. I have to be honest though, doesn't all this seem a little too good?
