[Daniel] The Unpleasant Announcement
Who: Daniel
Where: Medical Facility, Kitchen #2
When: Day 23, noonish
Invited: Open to everyone at the Bunker
Status: Incomplete
"I'm letting them go."
The announcement, predictably, was met with shouts of outrage and protest, which was precisely what Daniel had expected. The archaeologist merely steepled his fingers together, and watched the gathered group of castaways and waited for the uproar to die down.
"They know everything about us," someone pointed out.
"They don't know anything at all," Alex said quietly. The girl had been moving in the shadows the past few days, working hard to avoid notice. She seemed convinced that there were those in the bunker who would lump her right in among the DHARMA scientists, and she worked hard to stay under the radar. "They're just . . . useless."
"She's right," Daniel interjected before anyone could challenge Alex's words. "They are what they appear to be – support staff. They don't know anything about the inner operations of DHARMA or even this facility. Letting them go isn't a problem. Even if they fall back into DHARMA's hands, it's not as though DHARMA doesn't already know *everything* about *everyone* here. Keeping them here is simply putting a drain on our supplies.
"Dr. Wilson, Dr. Sakai and Ethan on the other hand, are going to be our guests for a little while longer."

[Daniel] Class Dismissed
Watching House scurrying to help also brought another thought to mind and Daniel cast his gaze around the cafeteria. He hadn't seen Dr. Pierson since the day before yesterday. It took a moment to recall that the man had been curious about the Wraith darts and had said he'd head off to the beach to get started on one of them - without McKay hovering over his shoulder.
Not that Pierson would be more use to Rose than House; she needed The Doctor.
"Has anyone seen the Doctor?" Daniel asked the room in general.
"Damon went to get him," Scott supplied. The hesistancy in Scott's voice wouldn't have been noticeable to anyone who wasn't listening for it.
(I'm really going to need to talk to him,) Daniel noted as he nodded in acknowledgment of the man's words and his gaze slid past Scott to connect with Jon's. Jon was giving him a look that echoed Daniel's thoughts.
One step at a time.
OOC - I'm done. :)
House is gone, I'm good with Rodney being told
off-camera to hit the OR/lab. :)
[Scott] *gulp*
Pushing the depressing thoughts aside, Scott peered down at Ami. /I want to see if the Doctor and House need a hand. Do you want to come along, or should I take you back to our room?/
[Ami] Staying Behind
/There's not a whole lot I can do for Rose,/ Ami admitted sadly. She wished that there was something she could do for her friend, but Rose's problems were so far out of her league that it didn't bear contemplating.
/You go on,/ Ami gave his hand a squeeze, sending a pulse of love and affection. /I'll be fine. I think I'll just sit about here for a bit. I don't feel like sitting around in the room right now./
[Scott] On my way
