How it started

Walking into work, Sam checked in. As soon as she finished with that the intercom sounded beckoning her to Gen. Landry's office. Daniel approached her as she got close to his officee.

"Hey Sam how are you today?"

"Oh same old.." she replied. Ever since the change of command, something had been different. Sam couldn't figure out and that annoyed her.Daniel knew Sam had changed, they all did but not as much as she had.

Ever since she became SG-1 commander her attitude became harder, her whole being was just colder. In fact she had grown to be a lot like Jack, emotionally numb.

"Ready for today's mission Daniel?"

"Yeah, should be interesting although a lot of people are going to get really mad."

"Tha's the point Daniel." With those last words, Sam dissappeared into GEn. Landry's office.

"Yes Sir, you called fr me?"

"Sit down Carter." This confused Sam, his voice was so unreadable, so different than Jack's. But of course everyone was.

"Yolu need to look through these files and pick a 2IC. I will give you two weeks to interview them."

"I can interview them? Why?" She questioned.

"Col. Carter, you are the commander of SGC's flagship team, anyone who even wants to be considered SG-1 material needs to be thoroughly interviewed. Understood?"

"Yes sir." Carter left after being dismissed for the commisary with an armful of personell files. Looking through hundreds of files, she now understood how Jack had felt. 'Enough about him, I am so over him.' She thought.

As if a gift from God, one file came to her next. Sam opened it and read. 'Lt. Col. Mitchell.' He had a gread record. Mitchell was the pilot who had saved SG-1 a year ago in Antartica. So that settled it. Just for Gen. Landry, she would interview Mitchell, but even Landry would appreciate her choice.

Pullion her cell phone, she dialed michell's number. After three rings, a man's voice picked up. "Mitchell."

"Hey Cameron, its Sam."

"Hey Sam, ready for that date?"

"Yeah sure, How about having it at the SGC's commisary?" Sam suggested amist laughter.

"Why? Afraid to leave the base?" Cam said jokingly.

"No, but truthfull, I want to interview you to be my 2IC over SG-1." moments passed by until he answered.

"Really? Wow, this is what I wanted but when I asked him for this, he said I would have to wait a few months."

"Yeah will its not his decision, Jack had nothing to do with this. I decided it."

"Alright, so when do you want to meet?"

"I have a scheduled mission right now but...Let's just say I interniewed you already and whenever you get here just tell Gen. Landry that I did ok?"

"Wll do. I'll see you soon, good luck."

"SG-1 doesn't need luck Mitchell. Look I gotta run, bye!" After the phone call she ran to the embarkation room.

PLANET P3X496

"So Sam, who is going to be 2IC?" Daniel implored. Walkign down the Stargate's steps, in the distance, Goau'ld and Ori ships were barely visable. The two race of aliens were creating an alliance to take out Earth and various places. And SG-1 were here ot stop it.

Gen. Landry let Sam plan everything but she forgot to report her plans to him. In all truthfulness, she didn't even plan the mission.

"I was thinking Lt. Col. Cameron Mitchell."

"Why him?"

"Well we all know him, he's a great officer and I believe his is highly qualified for this position...and because I chose him."

"Col. Carter, how do you plan to stop the alliances.?" Teal'c spoke.

"Now, I know it sounds absurd, but with all the naquidah on this planet we could easily just blow the planet up. Then the Goau'ld would blame the ori and the two groups would fight each other, maybe killing each other or at least buy us some time to cook up a better idea."

"Sounds like something Ja..." Sam cut daniel off.

"Sounds like something, I am doing. And its going to work."

Daniel glanced at Teal'c worriedly.

"teal'c take three C-4's and spread them, one by the gate, one on the left of the goau'ld ship and one one the right of the ori ship. Daniel you help Teal'c."

"And what are you going to do?"

"I am going to place some around the two ships, now move out!" Sam commanded. Each team member went their seperate ways to carry out thier jobs. Sam was already at the ship. Two bombs had been set and Sam was at the rear end of an Ori ship when she placed the final bomb her radio sounded loudly.

/Carter, Teal'c and I are don what do you want us to do/ Various Ori heard and a prior turned to Sam;s direction.

/GO TO THE STARGATE AND DIAL HOME NOW/ Carter yelled over the radio. Getting up from where she was, Sam tried to run vefore the prior saw her but it was too late.

Still she ran while shooting at the prior although the bullets did no good. Somehow she managed to get away. She reached the Stargate, Daniel had alread dialed home.

Sam had the detonators to all the bombs and at that moment she set them off simultaneously before diving into the stragate.

"CLOSE THE GATE!" Sam yelled. SG-1 went to wash up and later went to debrief.

"So, the mission was a succes Gen. Landry."

"Really? What was that explsion we all felt?" he questioned.

"The planet sir. We blew it up."

"Sweet!" a voice spoke from the background. Turning around, Sam expected to see Jack.

"Mithcell! Here already? You must be anxious!" Sam greeted happily.

"Sit down Lt. Col. Mitchell, you'll be debriefing with SG-1 soon enough."

"Yes sir!"

"Now Carter, tell me what happened."

"Alright, what happened was that we decided to place the bombs around major damage points around the planet. For good measure I placed on behind each of the enemy ships."

"So both groups will think that the other attacked instead of us?" Mitchell asked.

"Right."

"But were you seen?" Landry asked.

"Yeah, but the guy who saw me is dead now so that problem is solved."

"Hopefully. now go get checked out in the infirmary."

"I am fine Sir."

"No, you recieved a small injury on your shoulder."

Looking down Sam finally noticed it.

"Must have ricoched a bullet round and hit my arm." And with that SAm left with Mitchell close behind.

Okay, now please review. This is only my second Stargate SG-1 story, ( I usually write L&O: SVU) so I promise it will get better.
