"Adem! We've missed you!" Banshee wrapped her arms around the alien, knocking him slightly off balance.
"Damn alien's a chick magnet." Icarus pouted.
"So I've noticed." Tommy Foxe muttered under his breath.
Victor Reilly merely smirked a bit, glancing over at Banshee's rearend.
Edmund Gaunt walked over into a side corner of the room and melted into one of the shadows.
"While we're waiting, I got us some refreshments!" Brute Force returned to the living room, carrying a cooler filled with beer on one his broad shoulders.
As Jeff walked over to grab a beer from the cooler, he vanished in a burst of white light. "What the hell was that?" Brute Force wondered, scratching his head as Robo Squirrel zoomed around the room, scanning for the vanished man.
"Hell, if I know? Adem?" Drake asked, all eyes turning towards Different.
"Oh, what? Me? Since I'm alien, I automatically know what's going on, right?" Adem looked pleased as punch at this, which probably meant that he wasn't, not that his teammates really knew. "I'm a detective, not a scientist. . .Jym!" He screamed into his comlink.
<Yawwwnnnn. . .Good morning, Adem.>
"Jym, what just happened here?" Adem asked, growing excited.
<What just happened where?> The AI responded.
"Here! On the island, this man was here and now he's gone and we don't understand why."
<Ohhhh, that. Funny, isn't it? >
"Jym, I'm going to infect you with all sorts of nasty viruses when we get back. . ."
<It was probably a temporary flux in the timeline. Possible side effect of subspatial travel. I must remember to ask Will about this.>
"Will?" Phil asked, walking back into the room after checking his email. Again.
<Doctor Paragon.>
"Right. . .right. . .Can we get on with this?" Grissom finally proclaimed.
"Hey," Banshee looked around the room. "Wasn't Ozzy here a second ago?"
