Síobhan placed her pad along side her cup on the table as she entered the room wanting as always to be the first there and she was. Síobhan knew all to well if this meeting was to be held on Earth it would of contained tea and coffee. But it wasn't and along with everyone else she'd have to bring her own tea, here it was self service and no grunts to set up requirements in advance. She had expected the British Defence to stop her in her tracks from even thinking of what she wanted to do, but that was quite the opposite and she was not surprised after the last update she got before leaving Earth. All of it was Top secret.

Síobhan took up her cup and took a sip of her tea which was now stone cold but that made little difference as long as it gave the same effect or even half. Swapping her cup for the pad she got to work and began to type on her pad bring up personal records of the team she was with along with mission reports from the Earth mission. Síobhan also checked to see if the mission videos were All a counted for, the last thing she wanted was to look the fool talking about a video she didn't have.

After a minute Síobhan was happy with her set up. She had as always prepared her talk the night before, even the small ones and just some times she found the small talks had a bigger effect. While she waited she set down in her seat bushing back over her last mission.

Of all the many side missions and confidential operations the General had been keeping an eye on, Dr. Kells' latest quest was by far one of the most interesting. Jason Conway entered the briefing room, a room he was now very familiar with, wearing his operational gear. Today was a busy day, he was preparing for Dr. Rodney McKay's visit as well as a senior command meeting later that week. Today though, he needed to meet with the chief medical officer of the Sun Tzu following her absence. Her transfer to the deep space vessel wasn't just random, it was planned and for good reason too.

They were expecting a few other members of the expedition, from all sections and ranks as the General understood it. Truth be told he knew little about this mission other than the basics. It was another tangent, another piece of ancient technology and the mission itself contributed to the expedition's standing orders but home world command had kept the General a little in the dark.

With a friendly nod and a muttered greeting to the Irish doctor, he pulled out a chair and took his usual seat at the head of the table. Eyeing up the laptop and Dr. Kells' notes, he couldn't help but feel a slight sense of excitement, something he didn't know very much about was waiting for him in this briefing. The wonders of the universe sat before him. He relaxed a little and waited for the others, noting the 12:15 start time a little way away.

Roger wandered in. Thank the Gods he wasn't FIRST; that was always awkward, and at least he wasn't LATE-that was even MORE awkward. He wasn't exactly overjoyed to be here-he wasn't totally sure about Kells as a person-oh, she was fine as a DOCTOR, and fine as a woman, but he was a little concerned for her mental state, especially since the Chambers fiasco. Sure, it'd been patched up, but still. She was Irish, of course, and like his own Mammy, he knew well enough than to push a Celtic woman to her end. However, that didn't justify her behaviors (and he DID say the same to Fiona), and he just wasn't SURE. However, he was curious about her work, and the General wanted another Doctor around. WHY he didn't ask Caiden, Roger didn't know, but he kind of suspected that he didn't care much for Dr. West personally. Roger didn't. He respected him as a fellow doctor, but the man himself wasn't Roger's idea of a buddy.

He nodded curtly at Siobhan, and then at the General.

'Allo. Good morning, Dr. Kells. General. Anyone fancy some biscuits? He placed a package of Siobhan's biscuits on the table, and then settled in, carefully placing his tablet and stylus down, and his tea above that. He gave Si a LOOK then, and winked.

Classified... Caiden hated the word, the government was too secretive, sure he knows why and some things definitely should be kept classified such as the Stargate Program but in the program things shouldn't be kept classified. Stargate Command is probably the best kept secret, Caiden wonders what could be more classified than that? And why Doctor Kells and no one else? Not even the General was aware or he wouldn't have to be in this briefing...

Caiden was used to it however, he is a Major in the US Air Force and needing to know is different than being having the clearance to know, Caiden knew that was absolutely true. Having Top Secret/SCI clearance just meant you were cleared to know things but if you didn't need to know something, then you should know better than to ask or to stick your nose where it doesn't belong.

Caiden walked into the briefing room and saw the General and the Doctors and he took a seat at the briefing table, "morning, General, Doctor Harrison, welcome back Doctor Kells." He said as he sat and waited for the briefing to begin.

Decker didn't like dress uniforms any more than the next person however, he had both confusion to avoid and orders to follow and in this circumstance, he was to avoid confusion among his duel roles he was wearing the 1c service dress uniform. It was bad enough he'd begun getting caught up in international politics, that was more than enough for him to handle but he had a tiny idea of what General Conway faced. Besides knowing what was being discussed he had enough reservations about bringing something like this on board the Sun Tzu, he also held the firm personal belief this thing was best deposited at the nearest black hole.

He walked into the room, it seemed a few people were already here, Doctors; West and Harrison, the General and the doctor of the hour Doctor Kells, he started as you might expect, from the General to West to roger then to doctor Kells. "General, Doctors." Decker then took a seat towards the General as much as he often was one to want to include the civilians in as much as they could around this, sometimes they needed to be restrained and if any group of people were good at doomsday thinking it was them, after all that's part of what they are employed for, tactical analysis often similar to dooms day thinking. Now he waited for anyone else to arrive and the presentation, of sorts to begin.

With everyone in place Síobhan knew it was time to start, first thing she couldn't help but notice was the biscuits that were placed on the table by Dr Harrison which were clearly hers and at first she wanted to say something but she knew all to well she had more important things at hand. Her bigger problem was keeping herself together. Were to start kept running through her head, start middle or end so many starting points she taught and finally she decided were. She had planned to stand up talking but right now she preferred to sit, any day she'd have no fear in standing up to anyone and yet today that was a different case.
" OK if were all ready I'm going to start and forgive me if I skip one or two details as you'll be able to go back over it, but I'm going to cut the crap and get to it. " Síobhan took in a deep breath, doing here best to avoid eye contact with Dr Harrison knowing well he'd probably be able to read her like a book. " You may be wondering why you been called here, well you'll get your answer quick enough and why this is a need to know. My last mission took me back to Earth Germany. Expect for one member from Earths security this was not a joint Earth mission. It was pure British military and what I'm about to show you is my Mission report. Calls us Captain Ahab if you please but there's one item we having been chasing for the last ten years since knowing it was real. They wanted to keep it secret for longer but I convinced them are best bet would be to take it of earth. "
With a few taps of her pad a her own mission report popped on to the screen, all details blank and then she continued to a new British personal mission report which was also blank. Than she went to another, then another and so on till they just flickered on the screen. As she tapped the buttons she finally rested on a mission report dated back Ten years ago and all so blank. After a minute the screen changed to an odd shaped artifact.
" Nothing, that's what everyone remembers, absolutely nothing four hour before and four hours after. I have done two missions to retrieve this artefact and nothing, blank slate. My third we finally got it with no losses and yet I'm not sure how we got it." Síobhan stopped to take a breath knowing the best was yet to come, she feared few things except one drew fear right through her bones and that fear on the screen. She tried to avoid thinking of the losses but her mind kept racing back the comrades in the previous missions that had fallen.

"'Allo. Good morning, Dr. Kells. General. Anyone fancy some biscuits?" Roger asked the room before setting down a packet on the table. Jason reached forward and selected one to try, crunching away as Doctors Harrison and West entered the room to take up their place at the table.
"Morning, General, Doctor Harrison, welcome back Doctor Kells." West said. The last to enter was Ryan Decker, the Sun Tzu weapons officer and another of the individuals who had undertaken this classified mission aboard the deep space vessel. Greeting the others he shut the doors behind him before also taking his place at the large, circular briefing table. General Conway relaxed back into his chair and briefly checked his watch as the meeting got going right on schedule.

"OK if were all ready I'm going to start and forgive me if I skip one or two details as you'll be able to go back over it, but I'm going to cut the crap and get to it." Siobhan's thick Irish accent, which was always a pleasure to hear, rang out gently across the room as she took the lead and declared a start to her presentation. Conway was a big fan of 'cutting the crap' and leaned forward slightly in anticipation of Dr. Kells' news. "You may be wondering why you've been called here, well you'll get your answer quick enough and why this is a need to know. My last mission took me back to Earth, Germany. Expect for one member from Earth's home world security this was not a joint Earth mission. It was pure British military and what I'm about to show you is my Mission report. Calls us Captain Ahab if you please but there's one item we having been chasing for the last ten years since knowing it was real. They wanted to keep it secret for longer but I convinced them are best bet would be to take it off Earth." Conway exchanged a brief glance with Decker who looked a little sheepish. He knew the Sun Tzu had been back to Earth for resupplying but he had no idea the vessel assigned to Meropis had been used in such a way. Conway briefly wondered what Colonel Riley thought of it before Dr. Kells continued and brought up some information, projected onto a screen via her touch pad device. The General's eyes followed a series of censored reports, one after another it seemed, nothing new here.

Finally, Dr. Kells brought up an image. Conway frowned as he took in what he was seeing. It was a photograph of a small black, rectangle - no bigger than a lunchbox. It almost looked obsidian in nature, the external surface appeared to be glistening in the light cast by the camera's flash. A small, thin groove ran along the top side of the object and seemed to indicate that it would open up, sort of like a seam. It looked disturbing.
"Nothing, that's what everyone remembers, absolutely nothing four hour before and four hours after." Conway's eyebrows raised slightly, this was an interesting development... "I have done two missions to retrieve this artifact and nothing, blank slate. My third we finally got it with no losses and yet I'm not sure how we got it." Síobhan had said, before visibly taking a moment to compose herself. Conway knew that she was linked to something bigger, something outside Meropis - but he was surprised to find out that this small object was the cause of all the fuss and the reason Home World Command swooped up one of his best doctors and his only ship at short notice for the mission.
"It sounds like you've been on it's tail for a long time Doctor Kells. Forgive me for sounding silly here but, what is it? And what does it do other than wipe your short term memory?" Conway asked, the object certainly looked alien although he wasn't sure if it was ancient or not. Something about it made the General feel a little uneasy.

Síobhan took a second before responding, this device still haunted her dreams " The British have been chasing rumours of this since long before me, we only found it by chance and since finding out about it they've been trying to destroy it since," She paused to take a drink." I was tasked for a special operation with a team of Royal Marines to Asia to eliminate a Warlord who we believed to be trying to make chemical weapons and the only thing I remember is packing for the mission. Please understand something" She paused she knew the Captain by name and she felt he deserved to be spoken by name. The even thinking of his name made the pain she felt shake her hand as she remembered his face, " I knew Captain Burke, he was a ass hole to be honest and I hated him but he loved his country and never would of turned his back on his Queen. Anyway the next thing I remember was the Warlords compound in flames with.." in reality she paused do to memories but she hide it with a drink. " half are team was dead from bullets only are team had and last time I saw Captain Burke he was possessed walking in to the jungle with hall the Warlords men with this device. The Warlord pleaded with the remaining two members of are team to let them go as it would just make things worse. It turned out the Warlord was getting the chemicals to try and destroy this device. He told us of a story of a chief that tried to crack the device open resulting in the death of his village and more stories about his contact with it. From his view some people are immune and he also told us we'd find are Captain and new followers dead with out the device. He was right, they all died from a disease that mutilated there bodies and were ten miles from are location 24 hours later. Next time we came across the device was in London that no one even remembers the mission, we were in a housing estate plus all we knew was from a little girl who had taken pictures from her flat. The photos are at the back if you wish to look, but what we found out was once we attended to seal this device up, are prime orders were and are still to destroy it. Well A private and two police officers turned and killed to two are men as they tried to stop them and took this device and 24 hours later all turned up dead in Germany in a private jet. A chemist that was developing the pictures informed us of them, the girl that took the photos remembered nothing like us. Every time we have contact with this device people die by are own hands we believe it some how protects it self with are own men. Who they deliver it to is unknown, the viruses that kills them 24 hours later is unknown as it destroys itself. We want it as far away from earth as possible, when we told everyone we tried to take it through the gate, the device began to glow green. So we don't want to risk it, so by ship is the only way to get rid of it. The Americans want to studies it So far we have no volunteers to take it on board. The longer we leave this the greater the chance we believe those who been hiding it will take it again."

Roger ate some cookies, as well, while he listened. Truth be told, he rather liked Dr. Kells; he appreciated her intelligence and humor, as well as her skills in the operatory. However, she WAS Irish, and he was a Brit, so he couldn't help teasing her a little. But now, it was time to be serious, and he knew this. Per usual, he extracted a yellow legal pad from his messenger bag, along with his favorite pen, and set about to take notes. How many legal pads did Roger have in his life? He'd lost count after awhile. It was old school, sure-most people in his profession audiotaped their sessions, but Roger felt that this was impersonal, and could be a liablity if the audio tape fell into the wrong hands. Notebooks were easier to control-you just locked them away at the end of a session, and eventually you could shred them if you had to.

He brushed some crumbs away and jotted things. Sometimes he made doodles instead of words, but to him they meant something. He greeted both Decker and West in turn with a nod and smile as they entered. Appearently, this was all that was invited. Shouldn't Kelly be here?! He would ask Jason later.

OK if were all ready I'm going to start and forgive me if I skip one or two details as you'll be able to go back over it, but I'm going to cut the crap and get to it. He nodded. She should. You may be wondering why you been called here, well you'll get your answer quick enough and why this is a need to know. My last mission took me back to Earth Germany. Expect for one member from Earths security this was not a joint Earth mission. It was pure British military and what I'm about to show you is my Mission report. Calls us Captain Ahab if you please but there's one item we having been chasing for the last ten years since knowing it was real. They wanted to keep it secret for longer but I convinced them are best bet would be to take it of earth. Roger looked up, his brown eyes dancing with boyish curiosity. A British military device?! He might know it...his father had been in the Ministry of Defense, after all...

What is IT, Si? He said, using the diminuitive of her first name-they were colleagues, and friends, besides. His question was soon answered, though.

Nothing, that's what everyone remembers, absolutely nothing four hour before and four hours after. I have done two missions to retrieve this artefact and nothing, blank slate. My third we finally got it with no losses and yet I'm not sure how we got it. He was pretty sure it was because she was Irish, and a woman, and anyone with two braincells knew better than to fight with a Celtic woman when her mind was set on something, unless you were into suicide missions. He kept this thought to himself, though, and just looked around for a moment.

Ok, Kells. So what does it mean for US? He asked.

She went on to explain herself. 

The British have been chasing rumours of this since long before me, we only found it by chance and since finding out about it they've been trying to destroy it since," She paused to take a drink."

There was stunned silence. Roger took this opportunity to speak. His voice was gravelly, and his tone was deep compared to the jolliness he had before.

But we have the gating apparati. Surely...that will conceal it, no? If you need an American to study it, I know a few who might volunteer...and my office, as well as Kelly Miller's, are two of the most secure on the base. General...what do you think? He did have the Gene, as did Fiona. He was willing to undertake the task if Si could be convinced.

The Flight Lieutenant was more than willing to listen but he predicted as usual he would be in two minds, split between hisown ideals and those he needed to represent, he lent back in his chair and listened carefully.

"OK if were all ready I'm going to start and forgive me if I skip one or two details as you'll be able to go back over it, but I'm going to cut the crap and get to it. You may be wondering why you been called here, well you'll get your answer quick enough and why this is a need to know. My last mission took me back to Earth Germany.

I have done two missions to retrieve this artefact and nothing, blank slate. My third we finally got it with no losses and yet I'm not sure how we got it."

He'd apparently caught the General looking at him, he knew he'd been ordered to beam a few people and things around while back on Earth, it wasn't too unusual, often it was to move IOA dignitaries around quickly and securely, other times to move personnel and supplies, however this had been immediate priority no questions asked, and the fact it had come from the British had been the only different bit but then again they all owed allegiance to the same royal family. They all wanted to know other than memory loss what else it could do because for it to have the fuss it did, it had to do something fairly amazing.

"It sounds like you've been on it's tail for a long time Doctor Kells. Forgive me for sounding silly here but, what is it? And what does it do other than wipe your short term memory?" Ryan leaned forward a little, time to get to the meat of it all.

"The British have been chasing rumours of this since long before me, we only found it by chance and since finding out about it they've been trying to destroy it since, I was tasked for a special operation with a team of Royal Marines to Asia to eliminate a Warlord who we believed to be trying to make chemical weapons and the only thing I remember is packing for the mission.

The longer we leave this the greater the chance we believe those who been hiding it will take it again."

He looked to Roger who suggested studying it, it would be very good if they could, but for what purpose other than getting someone you don't like to kill each other and die a day later, from his and his governments point of view they had nothing to gain from it, no one would ever give them access to it, or the ability to replicate it, it was hard enough trying to pry a modified BC-303 or a BC-304 out of the Americans. "But we have the gating apparati. Surely...that will conceal it, no? If you need an American to study it, I know a few who might volunteer...and my office, as well as Kelly Miller's, are two of the most secure on the base. General...what do you think?" 

The Flight lieutenant place his hands on the table flat. "But what's the point of researching this? other than having a weapon that wipes short term memory, turns friendlies against each other and has them die mysteriously a day later. As for studying it, we obviously can't assure it wont cause what is already has, and yes getting it away from Earth is a priority, but studying it here, do we even know if we can contain it? another thing, if it's as dangerous as you suggest, we should as primitive as it might sound, drop it off at the nearest black hole or somewhere in the intergalactic void, I might hold allegiance to the same formidable old lady, but what does her Majesties government gain from either keeping this 'weapon' or handing it over to the Americans?" He looked from Kells, around the table to Roger then the General  last He'd developed a respect for the General, but in this meeting he wasn't a member of the Sun Tzu's crew, he was a representative of his own Government, and was taking it's priorities first,namely it's safety.

Síobhan could hardly believe her ears as Dr Harrison spoke,

But we have the gating apparati. Surely...that will conceal it, no? If you need an American to study it, I know a few who might volunteer...and my office, as well as Kelly Miller's, are two of the most secure on the base. General...what do you think?" 

Before she could speak a voice seemed to be on her side,

But what's the point of researching this? other than having a weapon that wipes short term memory, turns friendlies against each other and has them die mysteriously a day later. As for studying it, we obviously can't assure it wont cause what is already has, and yes getting it away from Earth is a priority, but studying it here, do we even know if we can contain it? another thing, if it's as dangerous as you suggest, we should as primitive as it might sound, drop it off at the nearest black hole or somewhere in the intergalactic void, I might hold allegiance to the same formidable old lady, but what does her Majesties government gain from either keeping this 'weapon' or handing it over to the Americans?"

"You seemed to of missed what I wanted Dr Harrison, I don't want to take it here and far be it do I want to study it. Her voice changed to from a calm tone to one with resentment and hate. " This is the reason we kept it secret, we knew everyone would wants to study it but us. We want to destroy it Dr Harrison as the Flight Lieutenant said we want to drop it off at the nearest black hole. Ever time we came across it good men have died, friends plagued to spend there remaining hours killing people who had there back for years, police officer unarmed all she did was try to stop them and who knows how many before us. We don't know anything about it, were kids playing with a loaded gun and at least some of us know what will happen if we don't get rid of it."

Síobhan clicked a switch, photos of a run down parking lot came up on the screen and run down flats surrounding it overshadowed it. The photos were clearly taken from two stories above the same location.
First photo displayed two soldiers in Hazard suits holding the device on two piece of metal in between them, around them were four other soldiers also in Hazard suit with weapons.
The second photo displayed the two soldiers above a yellow barrel holding the device over the it.
Síobhan turned away from the remaining pictures speaking every soldiers name in the photos name so low she couldn't even hear it herself, one of the armed soldiers could be seen taken the remaining soldiers off guard in the next pictures and finally in was joined by the two police officer in a squad car.
" I knew them all Dr Harrison, the one who took the device and killed his own team was new to the team. His only fault was ever the fear of letting his team down. This device is dangerous, the Americans want it taken here and the British want it in the Flight Lieutenants black hole away from are enemies and those who hide it"

The General had been taking a back seat, quietly watching proceedings and taking everyone's view point into account. The device, it seemed, had brought nothing but misery and despair to those that came into contact with it. Most notably he could see that it had affected Dr. Kells on the last mission. Whilst it may hold some sort of secret, Jason just couldn't see the benefits against the landslide risk it posed. He watched as the Irish woman flicked through photographs detailing the day the device was retrieved back on Earth, they last photograph made Jason's skin crawl. He was fast coming to a conclusion.
"I knew them all Dr. Harrison, the one who took the device and killed his own team was new to the team. His only fault was ever the fear of letting his team down. This device is dangerous, the Americans want it taken here and the British want it in the Flight Lieutenants black hole away from are enemies and those who hide it."

Jason Conway knew what he wanted to say here, he was going to offer a decision to the table and damn well persuade everyone else to stick with it, but something far more pressing was troubling him. A niggling doubt at the back of his mind was fast growing into an unhealthy monster of anxiety, he had to speak up.
"Dr. Kells." He'd cut across the chatter and gotten her attention immediately, "Where is the device now?"

Roger's eyes crinkled at the corners when he smiled. He hadn't misunderstood. He was simply curious...and amused. Mostly at the reaction from Siobhan. You'd have thought he suggested selling it, along with his kidney, on the black market to the Russians. He was merely suggesting learning more about it than he was actually talking about USING it. He let Si prattle on in her scolding tone of voice, however.

You seemed to of missed what I wanted Dr Harrison, I don't want to take it here and far be it do I want to study it... This is the reason we kept it secret, we knew everyone would wants to study it but us. We want to destroy it Dr Harrison as the Flight Lieutenant said we want to drop it off at the nearest black hole. Ever time we came across it good men have died, friends plagued to spend there remaining hours killing people who had there back for years, police officer unarmed all she did was try to stop them and who knows how many before us. We don't know anything about it, were kids playing with a loaded gun and at least some of us know what will happen if we don't get rid of it. Roger raised an eyebrow. He should probably have a session-or five-with Siobhan as she brought up some photos, and continued.

I knew them all Dr Harrison, the one who took the device and killed his own team was new to the team. His only fault was ever the fear of letting his team down. This device is dangerous, the Americans want it taken here and the British want it in the Flight Lieutenants black hole away from are enemies and those who hide it Another smile, this one more caring, and warm.

Aye, I was merely suggesting-that's all-that we do as we're meant to and keep Earth safe. Is it safe to destroy it? I know I am not a rocket scientists, but black holes close up eventually...if we're able to determine what it's made of, or where it came from, that might tell us more. That's all. Also, I'll fit you in at 2 pm. I am sure your patients will understand. He might not be the smartest man in the room, but he was PRETTY sure that just abandoning what amounted to a weapon, even this deep in space, was kind of not the best idea. He didn't really have a better one, though, admittedly.

Síobhan blanked Dr Harrisons in defiance to wanting to see him, that was something she wasn't surprised he had spoke and something she'd cause trouble with. But with Dr Harrison a side, there were bigger issues at hand and that was the main concern.

Síobhan straightened her self in her seat and crossed her leg to make herself more comfortable. Her mood shifted to a more relaxed tone wanting to show she wasn't just another doctor but a lady of class.

" At the present moment the the British armed forces with US air force are working with the NID to secure the device in the Arizona desert. Destroy it or not we believe it may be only a matter of time before it activities or someone makes move to take it."

Síobhan remained calm as she turned with her head held high to Dr Harrison now ready to launch her reply for even thinking she needed help in the head. Speaking as if talking to private she replied.

" My apologies Roger can't do a late lunch, but if Dr Harrison would like me to make a visit please send it in writing to my commanding officer and with listing your reasons. Till than we have a matter at hand."

Her tone quickly changed as she turned back to Conway still keeping her head held high,

" Either we do something with the device or we hand it to the US army.

Listening in he was surprised Dr Kells had had such a reaction to Chambers before she had gone on this mission, perhaps it was cover story and an Australian combat engineer's career was expendable to them, he might have a chat to the General about that.

"You seemed to of missed what I wanted Dr Harrison, I don't want to take it here and far be it do I want to study it.  This is the reason we kept it secret, we knew everyone would wants to study it but us.

Also, I'll fit you in at 2 pm. I am sure your patients will understand." It seemed Roger had been Americanized.

"Dr. Kells. Where is the device now?" Ryan wanted to know as much as the General did, but could their superiors be trusted with this, depends on the officer he supposed, Major General Landry and Lieutenant General O'Neill almost for sure, the IOA and the Military intelligence, in particular Liam hart and Val Olwin most likely not.

"At the present moment the the British armed forces with US air force are working with the NID to secure the device in the Arizona desert. Destroy it or not we believe it may be only a matter of time before it activities or someone makes move to take it. My apologies Roger can't do a late lunch, but if Dr Harrison would like me to make a visit please send it in writing to my commanding officer and with listing your reasons. Till than we have a matter at hand. Either we do something with the device or we hand it to the US army.
" The Flight Lieutenant lent back in his chair for a few moments before leaning forward.

"I doubt the Chinese and the Russians will just let you hand it over, it's clearly not our own Technology and the IOA will always want to review any decision regarding it. As for if it's safe to destroy, It isn't safe to have around I'm sure that is clear. We also can't know what will happen every time we fire a weapon in combat Doctor Harrison, short of destroying it we need to deposit it in the intergalactic void somewhere, preferably somewhere no one knows about, we'd have to program a hyperspace capable vessel to make it;s own decision then wipe it's memory and storage." He took a breath and looked at both Kells and Conway. 

"if the British government decides to hand it over, I'm going to recommend we raise the issue with the other members of the IOA, force either a joint agreement on how we are going to attempt and likely fail to study it safely, or have it destroyed." Finished with what he had to say he lent back and listened to the others.
