We don't have enough fuel to fly them, no. Who did you talk to? And what sort of experience?

Didn't catch a name. Smoky voice, not real optimistic--or long winded. Short but sweet.

The aircraft I flew back in the Air Force were all experimental. When we got to Pegasus, it was my job to work out how to fly the alien ships. Well no, not my job exactly, but I had to do it often enough that I should have been getting a bonus. Little ships, not much bigger than two of these rooms of ours, a Lantean cruiser four times the size of the gardens, and one time a city that, if I had to guess, was maybe a notch under the size of this ship. The Wraith hive didn't like me much, otherwise I'd have flown that too.

Most aren't very optimistic, if they've been here long enough.

[ She has no idea what half of that means, but it's experience, and she's definitely taken less. ]

Come down when you're not on shift, I'll show you around, teach you the shuttles.

I've noticed that. Creepy and dangerous space things will do that to you.

I'll come by in a few hours--and it's nice to meet you.

To the smart ones, anyway.

You too. [ She guesses. ]
