Chapter Text
- The term 'suckers' is not an appropriate term to use in official reports.
- It is never appropriate to ask outgoing gate teams if you can have their possessions or quarters if they do not return.
- Despite the success of the Summer Solstice event, Command will not authorise the painting of a permanent giant Twister board on the Gate room floor.
- When entertaining refugees, please limit yourself to the list of movies that has been compiled by Anthropology. Invasion of the Body Snatchers is not a suitable movie.
- Buckets, wastebaskets, pans and other items should be returned to their respective places immediately after the weekly percussion session.
- While command appreciates that night shifts can be boring and that using the labelmaker is mildly addictive, it is not in fact necessary to label the Stargate.
- Expedition laptops are not to be referred to as 'Etch-a-sketches'.
- The appropriate response to a command is not 'Yeahsureyabetcha'
- Senior command is content to let the record for 'most interteam offworld marriages' rest with SG1.
- Location and layout sketches in mission reports should not involve stick figures.
- The publication of the new Harry Potter book is not an acceptable reason to miss duty.
- The list on Dr Weir's office door shows the lending order for the two copies of the book. Please read fast. Personnel on opposing shifts may negotiate a timeshare arrangement.
- You will not 'video bomb' the scheduled check-in with Star Gate Command.
- Access to security footage is restricted to authorised personnel and may not be copied, published, shared, accessed for personal use, or exchanged with unauthorised personnel on Atlantis or at the SGC. Sgt. Harriman has also been reminded of the rules by Gen. O'Neill.
- 'Hive Busting' is not a competitive activity, and it is not this expedition's primary goal to 'beat SG1s style record'.
- The expedition's video equipment is not to be used to film pranks, humorous re-enactments of mission events, or other unofficial use. Personal video cameras may be used to such film material, and Command encourages its submission to Col. Sheppard for the highlight reel at the Christmas party.
- Even during a crisis, Command requires more detail than 'Stand back, I'm going to try science!'. Elaborate please.
- Radio Atlantis can be picked up from every personal radio and room comms system. It may only be broadcast over the city wide comms system with express permission of Command, no matter how good the DJ thinks a track is.
- While senior command is delighted with the success of the recent talent shows, band names are not acceptable substitutes for gate team names.
- No matter how good 'Lorne & The Impending Disasters' might look in a mission report.
- 'An approach in accordance with pioneering gate travel techniques as set out by SG1' still means 'improvisation'. Improvisation is not an acceptable mission plan.
- You will not suggest, ask, challenge or otherwise attempt to convince Vala Mal Doran to stow away on the Daedalus for a visit to Atlantis.
- In official reports, the terms 'C4' and 'explosives' are sufficient. 'Lt Cadman employed C4 to open the door' rather than 'Lt Cadman caused a +10 Big Boom of Awesome'
- Dr McKay does not have to roll a 'knowledge check' to solve the crisis of the day.
- It is not necessary to declare 'the ironic eyebrow' under Weaponry Deployed in field mission reports.
