Stargate: Atlantis2004

Baldric:
What do you intend to do with it?

Dr. Rodney McKay:
Blow a hole straight up to the surface, assuming I can get it to fly in a straight line. I've never actually done anything like this before.

Baldric:
What'll happen if you succeed?

Dr. Rodney McKay:
Well, two possibilities. Either we create a nice sturdy shaft that will give us some much-needed air and provide a big enough gap for the radio signal to get through, or it will bring the already unsteady ceiling down on us, burying us both alive.

Baldric:
I prefer to imagine the first possibility.

Dr. Rodney McKay:
Yes, yes, the power of positive thinking. Very good. While you do that, I will rely on my experience and expertise.

Baldric:
You said you'd never done this before.

Dr. Rodney McKay:
General expertise. Will you be quiet while I do this?
