Dr. Alex Lustig PHD hefted the NerveGear in his hands. It was different from the early prototypes he had looked over in the SGC smaller in a couple dimensions but almost as heavy. Well, it was launch day, time to see if this tech really could partially substitute for SGC field experience. That was why he was trying this afterall, all the coolest jobs went to people who could handle themselves in the field. Those were also generally the riskiest, but Alex wasn't a coward and he knew how important the Stargate program was. He wanted to help in every way he could to the limits of his abilities.
Taking a breath he laid down, got comfortable and pulled on the headset.
The room faded away to be replaced with a wireframe.
