Comments: This is my first fanfiction story, so please be constructive, I appreciate all comments. I only got hooked on the show earlier this fall so please bear with the character voices. I've gotta say I'm not usually a SciFi fan, but I love this show. The characters and the writing are simply perfect. And, of course, Jackson and Mitchell are just too cute together. Season 10, post Company of Thieves.

Ok so I'm brilliant and completely left out a section of the story, which would explain why the third chapter may have been a bit confusing. I've corrected the problem and the story is finished. Sorry about the mix up.

Cameron grinned as he spun the basketball on his finger; he and Jackson had finally managed to beat Vala and Teal'c. Course, it had helped enormously that Teal'c hadn't pushed him off his feet every time he tried to shoot. He nearly collided with General Landry as he rounded the corner to the men's locker room. Instantly he snapped to attention, fully aware of the fact that he didn't look presentable in any sense of the word.

"At ease, Col." Mitchell relaxed a bit, "Round up your team, I need you in the briefing room at 0830." Landry eyed the grin that his young Colonel had desperately been trying to hide, "Finally beat Vala and Teal'c?"

The grin grew to full wattage, "Yes sir." Mitchell sobered a bit as the General turned back toward his office. 0830 was in 15 minutes and he still had to find his team. Everyone else had the left the court before him so it was safe to assume that they had all showered and moved on to the rest of their day. Daniel and Sam would be in their labs, but Vala and Teal'c would prove more difficult to locate. So much for a shower, Cam discretely sniffed himself. Oh boy, hope this isn't a diplomatic mission he thought as he quickly changed into his BDU's and put on an extra layer of deodorant.

15 minutes later SG-1 sat around the briefing table waiting for General Landry to join them. Mitchell and Carter stood as he entered. As usual, Landry waved them down and began the briefing before he'd reached his seat.

"We received some intel that PX7-812 has been visited by a Prior. We have very little information on the planet or its inhabitants, which is why you're going. Go in, check things out, but STAY UNDER THE RADAR." He fixed Mitchell with a penetrating stare.

Cam looked up from his briefing report to find the general and the rest of his team glaring at him. Although, there seemed to be a hint of amusement in the stares from his team. Vala simply looked confused. Mitchell shook his head in disbelief, it had been a year and he had yet to live the Worrel incident down. "I promise sir."

Vala looked at Daniel for clarification, "I'll tell you later", he muttered quietly.

"Col, that means no conversations with farmers and NO undercover operations. I want you all to blend in and listen." Landry wondered, not for the first time, how SG-1 could be the best team in the world, hell in the galaxy, and still manage to get into trouble as quickly and often as they did. "Shouldn't take more than a couple hours." With that he stood and headed into his office.

"Oh, oh, oh. What happened?" Vala was clearly amused by Cameron's discomfort.

"Lets just say a fact finding mission wasn't as uneventful as I had planned," Mitchell replied grimly. At least they had been able to get all the Stargates back.

"Indeed."

Vala looked disappointed at his explanation, or lack there of, so Jackson put an arm around her shoulders and told the rest of the story in a conspiratal tone. Vala's amusement at the incident was infectious and soon the entire team was sharing vignettes of the mission. Daniel nearly got decked when he brought up the Mary Poppins comment. Fortunately for him, Sam's ire was turned on Mitchell when he snorted trying to hold in his laughter.
