((I'm going to take cues from April-mun for noting Ed's actions in other people's scenarios. Just Victor's this time around, though.))
Ed shakes his head a bit, still very confused. "But... we didn't send an IDC code. I don't even have my GDO anymore... How did you know it was really me?"
He's really starting to get the feeling that something's not right. The staff of Stargate Command are usually much more paranoid about letting visitors through than this... The techs in the control room always wait to confirm that any visitors trying to get through transmit a valid IDC number before opening the Iris. And Ed's certain he never sent one. He doubts Clark, April, or Victor did, either; he's only just met Victor, and he's told April and Clark very little about Stargate Command. (Not because he doesn't trust them, it just hasn't come up.)
Unless... maybe he did, and he just doesn't remember doing it... Or someone else (or maybe Someone, like the PTBs... he does work for them, after all...) took care of it for him... He shakes his head a bit, a little headache starting to form in his sinuses, and tries to smile at his younger brother. He's back with his little brother again... nothing else should matter, right? Still, the smile ends up a bit strained. "Okay. What did you want to show me?"
Victor: Ed clutches at the bite wound, on his left deltoid, blood staining the steel of his Automail arm, eyes wide with terror. "Victor...? Guys...? What's going to happen to me?!"
