I'm enjoying the sentence thread, but keep wanting to write just a little bit more!
So:
At least one sentence, no more than...oh...a dozen. Just to have a little more space.
Um...basic rules/premise.
1) We seem to be aiming for an 'adventure' so, please try to move the plot in that kind of direction.
2) Oh, and don't leave sentences dangling. Finish your thought. Pretty please.
3) Also, try and read what's gone before. So if the characters are on the Daedalus, don't suddenly have them in Atlantis. Or if they're on a desert planet - don't make it snow. Unless there's some excellent plot-point coming...
4) And there's a crazy/funny/let your imagination go wild version if you like that kind of thing. But this one is a more...'could be an actual extended episode' thread, hopefully, so try and keep with the spirit of the other posters. Danke.

It looked like it was going to be an extraordinary day on Atlantis.
Absolutely nothing...was going wrong. Yes, there'd been an unscheduled off-world activation earlier, but that was just a team returning a little early when someone had fallen into a hole, and broken their ankle. And the fire alarm had gone off a couple of hours before, but that was only one of McKay's experiments giving off a bit more smoke than he'd anticipated. All in all, it looked as though they were going to have one of those rare, precious things. A quiet day.
