<div align="center">Captain Alice Velnze (http://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=49678.msg2327747#msg2327747)</div><br/>As the interruption started Alice shook her head<br/><br/>"Oh Damn ! You see doctor what I<em> wanted </em>was for control to inform me that green team has a gun so I could put on a green arm band and pick up the rifle we have, and thus technically disqualify green team for having two guns"<br/><br/>A corner of Alice's mouth spasm-ed in annoyance.<br/><br/>"Then the yellow team, mainly you, would be proven safe, your values and what you stood for exemplified .. freeing me to prattle on to Ari about finding herself ironically on the side disqualified for reasons she herself chose the team for. Alas ... my thunderous political opportunity seems to be swept aside with more immediate matters, an unfairness proven to me instead, poetic indeed, such is life"<br/><br/>Alice looked up to the control room and saw a hive of activity, as one lieutenant met her gaze Alice gave a flurry of silent hand signals to request the side machine guns maned also. Either due to control rooms protocol or Alice's cue, armed men in air-force attire quickly appeared through side doors never the less.  The two mounted machine guns were quickly seen to, but to two men assuming a firing formation line up near her, Alice pointed at their hand guns.<br/><br/>"Just your side arms if you will gentlemen"<br/><br/>"Yes Captain"<br/><br/>Both soldiers replied in unison during in a fluid movement that soon saw their pistols in Alice's hands before they trained their rifles at gate. A pistol in each hand was a comforting feeling for the Captain and soon Alice circled the hologram with both aimed on the strange message. When the scene seemed more curious than dangerous Alice filled her holsters with her new pistols then looked to the two that she borrowed them from<br/><br/>"Hope you don't mind if I keep these, please request new ones from acquisitions"<br/><br/>After seeing the two men nod Velnze turned her attention to the star gate team about her<br/><br/>"I think its safe to assume we have no time for training anymore. No doubt the Major is fathoming the meaning of this with our archeologists as we speak. Until we get to the bottom of this I want you all to go to the control room and await further orders"<br/><br/>Without waiting for salutes or a reply Alice strolled quickly into the control room, it's atmosphere of concern was about as thick as any Velnze could imagine.<br/><br/>"Were any of you expecting this ?"<br/><br/><div align="center">(http://i.t.com.com/i/lumiere/2005/07/28/1488-1488-20050728_163446-320x240.jpg)</div><br/>"No Captain, it was not part of anything the Major mentioned concerning your training session, it surprised us as much as you I fear"<br/><br/>"Very well, mind if I use the intercom ?"<br/><br/>"Be my guest"  The man stepped away from his chair as Alice leaned forward to use the communication channels. A moment later all levels were flooded with her voice.<br/><strong><em><br/>"Attention all personnel, this is Captain Velnze, all star gate staff consider the training session suspended until further notice. Yellow alert, initiating unstable gate protocol, effective immediately, that means all non-security staff please keep clear of the gate room. The moment the lights show the turrets have changed to firing tranquilizers and in robotic mode, I want to see all security personnel evacuate the room also. <br/><br/>The moment that happens we are quarantining the gate room. That means air vents will be shuttered and primed to release nerve gas if the need arises. If they can send holograms through our iris it has me worried. If the turrets go haywire we will start cell locking surrounding areas so be prepared for security doors to engage without warning. Repeat Yellow alert, all star gate team members please assemble in the control room."</em></strong><br/><br/>Alice let the man resume using his station then checked her gun's ammunition.<br/><br/>"Time for either the Major or whatever is behind that gate to act next I guess, by the way did anyone have any idea what those strange symbols meant? Let me guess surrender or die ?"<br/><br/>Alice had many virtues, fluency in ancient Hindi however wasn't one of them.
