Lawson nodded as he heard the Colonel inform the Captain to the situation. With that he tapped Paiges shoulder and then moved, still crouching, over to the main console that sadly was directly opposite the door. He moved over and removed a panel from below the control panel revealing all off the crystals. “Logically we could take any off these-” A staff weapon moved over there heads in a rush of air and Lawson recoiled as it hit the glass. “-However that shield is likely holding back something [i]very[/i] deadly so I don’t quite want to take anything yet.” He could see the fear in Paige’s eyes now, though felt the best thing to do would be to keep her busy.

He pulled out his tablet and shown her two wires extending from the tablet. Lifting up one with a circular/magnetic end. “Attach this one to the crystal-” He then raised the other one which was like a light pen “-Touch this one on the pathways in the crystals. When you get a low power signature in the crystal that means it isn’t in active use, so not related to the force field. If you get this take it out and put it in your backpack. I’m going to work on seeing if this facility has any defences we can use to keep ourselves safe. Do you think you can do this for me Paige?” Use of the first name, to show he cared and also to sound friendlier than using her title. This was her first time in such a stressful situation. He had been on Icarus before the explosion - luckily outside the facility or he would have been sent to the Destiny and Atlantis so he wasn’t new to being one of the science guys in a combat situation.

Every time a shot rang close her heart skipped a beat. She was glad to have a job to do, since she was only barely holding herself together. Dr. Lawson even called her Paige, which five minutes ago, would have seemed odd but it was helping her focus now. Her task was easy enough, although it didn’t help that she was relatively exposed to the incoming gunfire. 

With her heart racing and her hands shaking she put her mind to taking care of the control crystals. A number of ideas to help her stay focused popped up in her mind. She thought maybe she would sing but the only song that came to mind was ‘Highway To Hell’ by AC/DC. Just as she moved on from the first crystal, which turned out to be inactive and ended up in her bag, a staff blast hit the floor beside her. A string of curses flew out of her mouth as she powered through extracting the control crystals. With only two more left to check she knew she wouldn’t slow down. 

Suddenly she started to seize up, it was as if her entire body was on fire. It was an intense sensation she had never experienced before. In her mind she had just enough time to think before her entire body started to collapse. [i]Is this really it? Did I just get shot? I’m going to die on an alien planet. At least I got into space…[/i] Her sight faded as she barely registered looking up and falling. 

Lawson moved to catch her and then dragged her out of the way as he turned to the Colonel “Colonel! Paige has been hit by a zat.” He could feel some of the left over static nipping at his fingers as he moved over to the crystals. they had enough. They had more than enough for this to be effective. “Use the Backpack! It is probably time for us to get out of here.”
