Congrats, 'Aukai, you're gating out. Her chief officer, Sierra Williams, spoke to her, dropping her personnel file on the table in front of her. Whitney looked up, and smiled. FINALLY!! They had gotten it into thier thick heads that her skills would be an asset on an off-world mission. She grabbed the file, and stood up so fast her chair toppled over. Thanks, Major! I will make you proud... Sierra just nodded, smiled and wandered off. The older woman was a staple in the SG program, and while Whitney had been honored to serve under the Air Force officer, she was even MORE excited to be heading to Meropis. 

A few days later...

Whitney was dressed in Mission blues, her olive-green seapack packed to the gills. She stepped into the Gateroom, and quietly greeted the other people she'd be gating over with. 

Hello! Lt. Whitney Soto-'Aukai, USN. My CO said we leave in a few minutes. She then filled out her paperwork, and got ready to go. When she arrived, she was supposed to report to a General Jason Conway, and Major Chicago Eastlyn. Chicago. Why did parents DO that to thier kids?! She would never know. After a bit, she was ready, and she stepped through. 

A moment later, she smiled. She was THERE!! There was a small crowd assembled to meet them; and Whitney just hoped that she'd make a good first impression.

Ryan was only a member of Stargate Command for a short while now and he thought it was a practical joke being pulled on him when his commanding officer, Captain Harrison relieved him of duty and sent him to the Pentagon. He thought he being discharged or worse until he was briefed in by Major Davis. He still thought it was a joke but played along until he arrived at Cheyenne Mountain and saw it for himself.

Ryan saw a lot of crazy things over his years as a Special Forces Soldier and even before that, but this was easily the craziest thing he ever saw, he was never a fan of science fiction nor did he have time to watch or read it but he learned that wormholes weren't science fiction, they were science fact.

Ryan's father was a Special Forces Officer yet Ryan never liked school so enlisting was an obvious choice. He followed in his fathers footsteps, although he enlisted instead of becoming an officer, but same career and his father was proud and his mother wasn't really, she never liked his father in it and never wanted her son to do the same. Like father like son, she always said and in this case, it was true.

Ryan was asked if he'd like to join the Meropis Expedition and jumped at the opportunity, he always wanted to explore new worlds and meet new cultures and with the Goa'uld gone, Ori gone, there was no real challenge and he loved challenges and facing the unknown. They may call it reckless but he is who he is.

Ryan met the others in the gateroom and the Chief Master Sergeant began dialing the eight chevron address and the wormhole was successfully established and he walked on through with the others. In one small step he left Earth and a moment later arrived three million light years away, he still couldn't believe this was real, it all felt like a dream.

Great. She was being ignored. Story of her life, really. It had been the same way in Brownies, and in ballet-the girl who walked the fringes of her peer group-not quite Hawaiian, like the native girls she hung out with, and not white like the rich girls, nor was she fully Asian, either. She didn't belong ANYWHERE, it seemed. Oh, well. She watched as the Chief Master Sargent, after saluting her properly, started the Gate, and she could FEEL the excitement rise up in her.

In a moment, she opened her eyes, and was standing in a bustling room, which she instantly recognized as the Meropis gate room. She smiled.

Well. That was exciting. You ok there, Sargeant?[/color] She said, to the man next to her.

Ryan heard the woman next to him talk, he hadn't really been listening, its a gift, selective hearing. Incredibly useful for his line of work, hearing what you want to hear and ignoring the rest. He'd been a member of the SGC and explored other planets, as part of SG-25, the Army Combat Team, the only Army team.

Going through the Stargate wasn't anything crazy, not anymore but this was the first he went through to another galaxy, he knew nothing would happen, most likely but he also knew that going to a different galaxy especially one the size of the Triangulum Galaxy will be a challenge.

The Atlantis Expedition went to a dwarf galaxy and it turned out that they were woefully under equipped for the task. Sure they held their own but the Ancients were slaughtered by the species and run out of the galaxy. It appeared they were doing more than the Ancients ever could because we use strategy and are a determined bunch while the Ancients thought that with their technology they could overcome any challenge even one that outnumbered them severely and was definitely more primitive. The Wraith won though not only because of their numbers but also because of the technology they recovered, with the biggest recovered piece of technology being the ZPM's which allowed them to create more and more Wraith in a very short time. Had the Ancients not been so naive or reckless, they could've won.

Special Forces are the best trained warriors in the world, they have the most advanced technology to do their jobs, the best training, the best intelligence sources and are always woefully outnumbered. But the Special Forces always win because of strategy and that is always important in times of war especially when they are more advanced than you, like everyone that the SGC faces.

Well. That was exciting. You ok there, Sargeant? The woman asked and he looked at her then looked around.

Ryan nodded, Yeah, I am good. This isn't my first time through the stargate. How about you, Lieutenant?
