Stargate Command
Dale’s Quarters
0400

It was early morning but for Dale he was wide awake, he wanted to be anywhere but here Andrew had taken him to Aqua Golf in Sydney as few days ago even though he lost it was much better then being stuck on light duties back at Stargate Command he couldn’t even go on a mission because they feared that he might go all evil prior on them. General Landry had him thrown out of his office because Dale went to complain to the General to at least give him a chance but the IOA got their hands onto his case. Some Senior Representative Edwards made a case that Dale should never be allowed back at Stargate Command but General Landry being the man he is argued his case saying that Dale was suspended from gate travel and put on light duties. Suddenly however Dale received a message from a Private explaining that he had been ordered to the briefing room. Dale checked the time. Seriously? At four in the morning.

Briefing Room

It didn’t take Dale long before he was showered, dressed and making his way to the briefing room. As he walked in he noticed Andrew already there. “After all this time you still beat me here mate. I have no clue how you do that.” Dale laughed as he shook his head. Andrew had been through a lot. Lola had been killed on a very screwed up mission and Dale didn’t think that Andrew had ever gotten over it. The guy now had two dead fiancé’s. General Landry walked into the room from his office and took a seat, soon another person wearing a American Navy uniform, Dale saw that he was an Admiral. “Good morning gentlemen. I’m Admrial Quinn. I have a mission for the pair of you that needs both of you’re expertise.” Dale took a seat next to Andrew. “This is Minos Korva we believe that this planet a stronghold for the Lucian Alliance the first stronghold for them in the Delian Galaxy.” Quinn explained showing a picture of the planet on the screen behind him.

OOC: I always thought Quinn was an informant not a Admiral.. But what the hell… he dies anyway.. =) (FINALLY!)

Andrew put his feet on another chair, this was the deal.. get an op, clean it out. Blow things up, come home… Only good thing about it was he was partnered with Dale once more. Like old times, the two men thought they’d be back at academy but it turned out that after the Ice Cream stunt, the commandant didn’t want them back. The Delta Expedition was currently full with its own problems, which left Dale, Hitchcock and Meyer doing the wet work. He whistled as he heard a half awake groan from behind him. “After all this time you still beat me here mate. I have no clue how you do that.”[/i] Dale laughed. Andrew gave him a smirk, it was good to have some of his old team together… But he missed Brawer, Kale and yes… even Keller. Who he still found funny he fell down a marked mine shaft. “Colonel Skills” Andrew replied wiggling his fingers in a ‘do do do do do do’ motion. The door opened to reveal General Landry and some guy, who looked like he had a pole up his arse. “Good morning gentlemen. I’m Admiral Quinn. I have a mission for the pair of you that needs both of you’re expertise.”[/i] the man started as Dale took a seat. “Don’t you have Seals for that?” he asked as a Seal team was now SG 21. The man glared but continued, Andrew rolled his eyes towards Dale… with mouthing one word. ‘Yanks’ “This is Minos Korva we believe that this planet a stronghold for the Lucian Alliance the first stronghold for them in the Delian Galaxy.”[/i] Quinn explained showing a picture of the planet on the screen behind him. Andrew blinked for a moment, turned to Dale then back at the Admiral. “One, how do you know this is fact? Two, how did they get there? I mean there ships are junk, they don’t have intergalactic drives.. Three, how solid is this info? Four, Why don’t you get the um, Iliad or the Aeneid to bomb the thing from orbit.. that will give the space jockeys something to cheer about.” he said as he got up and got some coffee, he gave a cup to Dale as he sat back down… “I mean why are we chosen for an op that’s outside our jurisdiction?” Andrew prodded.

Dale just sat back and listened to Andrew speak to the Admiral, it was just like old times though he wished they had SD5 for back up on this one the old SD5 anyway he heard most of them got reassigned somewhere else though which was a real shame Dale missed the old days. Dale always wondered why the academy didn’t want them back though he believed that it had something to do with the ice cream stunt they pulled. So many instructors was pissed of at them though the corporal that Dale zatted with his zat gun filled a complaint which sucked. Dale could see that Quinn was getting annoyed with Andrew with all his questions though frankly Dale didn’t care they should have all the information before being sent to a mission. “I am not fully aware on how the Lucian Alliance got there in the first place but I assure you they are. Reports state that there are a couple of ships high in orbit which would prove difficult for our ships to get in and out and we can't afford to use any of our ships at the moment they are being used for something else. If we are discovered then Earth would be a target. We want this outpost gone Major. A two man team with explosives can get the job done. Captain Schreyer has experience with explosives due to his Commando training and you Major Johnson have combat skills that are brilliant.” Dale rolled his eyes, he knew that they didn’t have all the information but Dale was ready for this it meant that maybe he could return to normal gate travel after this mission was complete. “You leave in one hour. The Delta site is reporting in by then and you’ll be cleared to travel to the Delian Galaxy from there.” Quinn replied. Once General Landry and Admiral Quinn left Dale turned to Andrew. “Why do I get the feeling that guy left something out and we’re not being told the full story. Though something about that planet seems familiar somehow.” Dale explained to Andrew as he looked at the image of the planet, maybe it had to do with when he was a prior Dale wasn’t sure.
