Re: X2U-238: Shot In the Dark
Kaspar paused in his steps and turned back to address the two alien ladies.
"My appologies, Freyda. I'm still reading my way through the Asgard Handbook that Stargate Command gave me, and I'm still a little fuzzy on the workings of your Apprentice-Mentor relationships, as well as how high level Asgardians, like Thor, can hold both Military and Civilian positions without confliction of interests. It's not exactly like our system." Kaspar appologizes.
"And I suppose you're right, Captain Tourmaline, but I just want to make sure that there aren't any Jaffa in stasis pods, or killer robots, in the other cargo bays, waiting to awaken." Kaspar smiles around a puff of his pipe, "As I mentioned to the Sargeant, just a moment ago, that's just the paranoid way the Army I was trained by taught me to think. I'm hoping that, with Gavins device, he and Sargeant Mojdar will be able to rush through an inspection of the other bays, and confirm if they are either empty, or full of inactive stuff."
"As for why I'm so hot to go to the control room, well, I agree that it would make more sense for our mission if we went straight for the engine or power room, and started on the tasks there. However, I got this nasty itch to look out the big window in the control room and see just where this Ha'tak is sitting. You can call it a peculiarity of the Tau'ri -- this need to see where I am -- if you wish, but really, I'm just pulling Rank to get what I want."
Kaspar again smiled and puffed, "To be completely honest."
