The team arrives on a world with no information linked with its address in the Vedas database. Theria is an advanced place, equivalent to late 20th century Earth, somewhat behind the technology the expedition knows but more than advanced enough to be worth an effort.

One small problem. Any knowledge the Therians ever had of the greater galaxy has been long lost, and they consider the very idea of any sort of extra-Therian life to be insane. Thinking they're being led to meet Therian authority figures, SV-1 are locked up in a government mental institution as armed and dangerously insane patients.

No medical exam shows they're anything different than the Therians, and the Therian psychiatrists aren't about to let these insane people out to go to some useless ruins they insist contain a device to travel to other planets.

And we have our mission.....let's plot further xD

Three words: forcible medical exams.

I'm going to look up modern involuntary commitment handling for our episode. Blake will teach the others how to fake swallowing meds but be reluctant to admit where he learned how. Which would be his paranoid schizophrenic mother-in-law.

Hang some jokes on Sci-fi and Stargate plot conventions, like "If you're aliens, why do you speak the same language we do?" Or "Why are you physically Therian (human)?"

And the explanations just make them sound more delusional. Without being allowed to get to the stargate, they can't prove anything.

And Blake will muse on the fact that what they're claiming is crazier than anything Anna Hamrick ever said and Steve and himself never believed her either.

FYI Nick hates needles, like he will have no problem punching someone if they try to stick him because you know it will be his luck that he screws up the faking swallowing the pills thing.

I like the idea .... this ep is going to be fun

Hahaha!! For a medic he hates needles??? xD That's hilarious. And I'll start us off soon. This week at work has been crazy.

And then he gets put in a more secure part of the hospital for violent patients.

And Blake grumbles about Nick not helping their case and muses on the times Steve's mother Anna hit him when he was taking care of her while he was in grad school. Used to be the guys' cover story in Cali, that Blake was just the grad student Steve was paying to take care of his mom and that's totally the only reason Blake lived in Steve's childhood home while in school. True but not the whole story that would have got Steve discharged.

And keep in mind, I have done research into four-point patient restraints for a rather dark little mental hospital story I wrote.

Nick would like Dr. Warren to know while he respects his insight into many things, he also does not give two ducks about what he thinks (at this time), because he is not about to let some shrink stick a needle in his arse. Just because he might roughly push someone away does not mean he needs to be put in with the really crazy folks.

I'll get a post out tomorrow......or poke with a pointy stick for one.
