This is a rewrite of a story which I began writing on here some time ago and had to stop due to health issues but as I am now up to it again i have decided to keep going - this is a chapter story (with Chapter 1 through to Chapter 8 already written) and this is my first proper attempt at a Stargate story - I hope that you enjoy and any feedback is welcome!

I have decided to add and bring in a new character to create some new relationships within the team and to try and to show more of Sam than we would normally see.

Please read and review.

Disclaimer: I do not own Stargate SG-1 or the characters or anything related to it.

Chapter 1

A rather quiet morning was staring at the team in Stargate Command. A whole selection of briefings on different topics were awaiting them along with some training and other necessary safety drills as they were working with basically a wormhole generator on a daily basis.

The day was going to be even longer as Daniel and Vala were away on an off-world research proposal meeting in Atlantis so the usual funny and witty asides that would interrupt and brighten up even the most boring of meetings would be missed.

Sam ran her fingers through the back of her hair as she waited in the lift to get to the floor of the Briefing Room as it slowed down and the lift doors opened.

"Coffee," she thought. This seemed to be a good idea and would be helpful.

Grabbing a steaming hot cup of coffee she continued towards the Briefing Room where the rather familiar sight by now of a distinctly half asleep Cam greeted her.

"Morning," he grunted in her direction and then sunk back in to his chair.

"Any ideas what this is about?" he asked her.

"None at all," same replied shaking her head, "General Landry not here yet?" she replied with a question.

"Nope," said Cam, "unusual for him to be late like this maybe it is important?" Cam added.

"Possibly," replied Sam who was now looking slightly more interested and confused at the same time.

A few silent and thought free moments passed with Cam sinking more in to a sleepy stupor and Sam drinking her coffee in the hope of it keeping her awake when General Landry walked in.

"Good morning Colonel Carter, Colonel Mitchell," he said loudly enough to stir Cam.

"Good morning sir," they replied in unison.

"I bet you are wondering why I have called this personnel meeting this morning," he started after taking a seat, "considering that two of you are off-world and Tealc is busy too?" he asked.

Both Sam and Cam nodded hoping that there was some important and decent reason for this early morning meeting.

"Well," he began, "due to the fact that we are developing more and more technology and are acquiring more from various groups that we meet it has been decided that rather than to continue to pile this work on to Colonel Carter on top of her research in to the Gate and power sources that we should bring someone else in to help us out," he finished and then sat back to take in their reactions to this proposal.

Sam and Cam looked at each other.

"It does actually make sense," Sam started, "it would speed up our technology development a bit and ultimately help our progress as I could spend some more time on other things," Sam finished.

General Landry then looked quite pleased with the reaction from Sam and the two of them then turned and looked at Cam.

"Yeah, well I do tend to agree with Colonel Carter Sir, Cam started, "but we need to make sure that we get the right person and not someone who will not have a clue what they are doing Sir," Cam finished.

"I do agree with you Colonel Mitchell and that is why this decision has been taken seriously and the hiring process was very specific," said General Landry.

"This has already happened and someone has been hired?" asked a rather stunned Cam.

"Yes and that was the purpose of this meeting to introduce the new member of staff to you and Colonel Carter," stated General Landry.

"Are they here then," asked Sam who was again quite taken aback by the fact that something had actually been done quickly and in time by the personnel group.

"Yes Colonel Carter they are and there was a slight problem with the ID so that is being sorted out and they will be here shortly along with a member of the hiring committee that I am sure that you are very familiar with, "answered General Landry smiling.

After exchanging some sceptical glances with each other Sam started thinking about that last comment too.

"Jack, it could be Jack but would they really let a man who would try to name things after things that he had watched on the television hire someone but then again he is a General" thought Sam but her thoughts were interrupted then by a rather loud and booming voice from down the corridor.

"This way," the voice was saying sounding rather cheerful.

"General Hammond," thought Sam smiling happily.

This smile then turned in to a rather stunned open mouthed grin when General Hammond walked in with the new member of the team.

This did not go entirely unnoticed by Cam who caught Sam's expression out of the corner of his eye too.

"Samantha, Colonel Mitchell," General Hammond said smiling, I would like to introduce you to the new member of our team Dr Alexandra Wilks," he finished.

After he moved aside a tall woman about 5' 8" or 5' 9" came in to view. She was roughly the same build as Sam but a bit curvier as Cam seemed to have noticed and she had short brunette hair with natural auburn parts throughout it which was slightly spiked.

Thinking that he had better say something Cam asked, "Sam, do you know each other or something," looking quite interested as to what Sam looked so shocked about.

"Actually General Hammond," the woman started, "it is Dr. Wilks-Carter," she said smiling.

"I should do," said Sam now smiling widely," She is my sister!" Sam finished with a grin leaving Cam slightly stunned.

Next Chaper is all written - it brings everyone in together with some funny scenes - so it will be up tomorrow!
