[Carson's staring at his blank journal. Yes, he's very suspicious, but just addresses the castle as a whole]

Because there's no way that I trust this bloody place, I just want to make sure that everyone's okay.

No-one's hurt or anything?

Comments

[gevurah]

Really think something is going to happen?

[atadiscoverer]

I don't want to, but past life experience is telling me to be prepared, at least.

[How often had they thought they'd been in the clear on Atlantis, before somethine went wrong? Too many times.]

[gevurah]

Completely understandable.

[atadiscoverer]

Glad you understand. Don't want people thinking I'm a few wee apples short of an Orchard

[gevurah]

Not at all. It's good to be prepared.

[atadiscoverer]

Nothing I've been through could prepare me for this castle

[gevurah]

What do you do back home?

[atadiscoverer]

I was the chief medical officer on the Atlantis expedition.

I'm Dr. Carson Beckett.

[gevurah]

Atlantis? [ She sounds impressed and quite surprised at the same time. ]

Good meeting you, Dr. Beckett. I'm Kate Kane.

[atadiscoverer]

Aye. Where I'm from, it's in another galaxy.

Nice to meet you, too.

[gevurah]

And you have the means for intergalactic travel. That's incredible. Are the stories of Atlantis different in your world?

[atadiscoverer]

The means, aye, but often not the power.

And, they're probably the same, but they came from the Atlantis in Pegasus.

[gevurah]

A dwarf galaxy? [ While this is nowhere near her own area of expertise, she's done a lot of reading to understand some terms. ]

Did it sink under the water in this other galaxy?

[atadiscoverer]

Aye. The Ancients submerged Atlantis to protect it from the Wraith, then they returned to Earth.

[gevurah]

The Wraith? [ Ghosts? ]

[atadiscoverer]

An alien species. They suck the life force of humans and Ancients through their palms.
