Stuff and an Invitation (So isn't good with titles)

[fishesandfights]

Right, so, I'm getting antsy. I'm still stuck without a weapon of more technological advantage than a kitchen knife duct-taped to a pole. Given the rate that things go squirrely around here? I'd like something a little better, if someone is willing to do a trade or something.

Also up to doing some exploring if anyone wants to. Done a bit of wandering, but more would be cool. Probably.

Oh, and I can't figure out the whole...filters...whatever: I was talking to Beckett and he had the idea of doing a card game for those of us from the SGC. Sounds like fun. I'll bring the beer. Who's in?

SGC? Are you from Sam's world?

I could..uhh...probably help you out with a weapon, though. That's one of the things I did back home. Build and develop weapons, I mean. Did you have anything specific in ind?

[fishesandfights]

You bet. Kinda was her boss there, for a while. Sort of. Not like I really could understand enough of her work to tell her what to do. Just sort of...let her work.

And hell, anything would do. A Colt 1911? A P90? Something that can put lead things into bad things.

[zeke_developer]

Heh, sounds kinda like my boss back home. His codename was literally Big Boss! [He chuckles.]

A Colt 1911? That's easy enough. My boss had a custom model he liked to use in the field, so I can get that put together quick enough. As for that other thing...is it some kind of assault rifle? It's probably a little ahead of my time. Can you describe it for me? I can probably build you something comparable, as long as I know what you're looking for in a weapon.

[fishesandfights]

Well, if it's ahead of the line, then forget it - just give me the best assault weapon you can. And the 1911. I swear, that thing was just immune to jamming.

The AUG is basically the predecessor to the P90 XD

[zeke_developer]

I've got just the thing in mind, actually. I'll build you an AUG. It's got a 30-round magazine, bullpup barrel, variable trigger for semi- or full-auto fire, and uses the same ammunition as an M16, but is a lot more accurate. The frame and stock are plastic, so it's pretty lightweight, but stable.

Did you want the custom model? It's got a lot of improvements over the basic M1911 handgun, while retaining the same reliability. It's not too much more to build, so it's no trouble on my end.

Oh, I suppose I should give you my name, since I'll be building weapons for you. My name's Dr. Harold Emmerich, but you can just call me Huey.

[optimystic]

... I wonder if there's a gun shop in town.

[fishesandfights]

It'd be nice. Especially with a discount.

[optimystic]

Ooh, like a discount for people who are good with guns?

[fishesandfights]

Pie-in-the-sky, isn't it? But hey, you never know. Sometimes, life just works out the way you want.

[compromisedarrow]

You came without a weapon, huh? That seems kinda harsh.

[A pause.]

As for exploring, I wouldn't mind wandering around a bit more, if you don't mind.

[fishesandfights]

Especially when you're really good with one.

And it's an idea, certainly. And you would be...?

[compromisedarrow]

Clint Barton. It's a pleasure.

[fishesandfights]

[New name, good. He memorizes it for future use.]

Pleasure, huh? Oh, wait until you get to know me - you might regret saying that.

[linguistical]

[ A laugh, yes he is imagining Jack brandishing a knife duck taped to a pole. It's pretty amusing. ]

Jack, do we need to write down simple instructions on the filtering system and stick them to your wall?

As long as it doesn't devolve into a poker game that ends in me losing my pants; sure.

[fishesandfights]

I'd figure it out if I wanted to. Probably.

As for ehe poker game? Please, keep your pants on. I beg of you.

[linguistical]

It's really simple. How you haven't managed to figure it out by now is beyond me.

No strip poker then, it's the last thing any of us wants.

[fishesandfights]

I...I can't even picture something more awkward than that, Daniel, why did you even suggest it as a valid possibility?

[Granted, if Vala had been around, she might well have insisted]

[atadiscoverer]

Since I suggested it, general, I'm game.

I hope you're better than Dr. McKay. Even Ronon beats him, and he's not awfully fond of the game.

[fishesandfights]

I think I can possibly manage to do better than that, doc.

[atadiscoverer]

Only possibly?

[fishesandfights]

Well. I'm not very good at bluffing n' stuff.

[Lying. So massively lying.]

[ectobabble]

Hey, Jack! ... Um. I don't really do anything with weapons, but I could stand to explore. It's been a while, how're you doing?

[fishesandfights]

Oh, I'm fine. Wandering on my own is starting to get a tiny bit bothersome, though.

And it was worth asking, you know? I'm really, really used to putting pointy bullet-shaped things into things that do terrible things, y'know?

[ectobabble]

Oh, totally. Where've you been so far? I'd be glad to go someplace with you.

[fishesandfights]

I'll show you the map-thinger I've been doing. Not sure what people call the areas.

And sure, I'll go exploring with a guy with a...proton pack? Yeah, that's what you called it. That'll slow down any opposition, I'm sure.
