"Oh for crying out loud. We're a front line military operation not some damned tourist guide for Pentagon sightseers." Colonel Jack O'Neill spat out in disgust, as he continued pacing in front of his immediate superior's desk in said officer's office.
"Colonel O'Neill you have no choice in this matter. I have no choice in this matter. Our superiors have decided that we will escort the General and his two aides around the SGC.' General Hammond replied as forcefully as his Texan accent would allow. He was not at the bellowing stage yet but the signs were there; the red colour creeping up his face, the crinkling of the corners of his eyes and the stiffening of his stance.
Jack decided to ignore all the signs and press on regardless. He was right and although he knew that he could change nothing it felt damn good to let some of his frustration out in this little disagreement with the General. 'SG-1 should be preparing for our next mission to P3X 516 but no, we have to pander to our superior's lick ass attitude.'
"Colonel that will be enough," Although Hammond agreed with Jack's assessment, he had to maintain the command structure and couldn't have one of his Colonel's mouthing off about their superiors.
"Just go and get your team ready our visitors should be arriving in the next hour."
"Sir." Jack saluted as he turned and exited the office. 'What a waste of time and effort,' Jack thought, 'The bureaucrats obviously have nothing better to do than think up ways for me to waste my time and that of my teams.'
General Hammond ran his hands through non-existent hair and wondered, for at least the hundredth time, what his superiors were up to.
Official Car a few minutes from Cheyenne Mountain:
"I'm worried. We're so close," Captain Archer stated, "I keep thinking it will all go wrong at the last minute." He sat in the official car along with his two immediate superiors, Major Amour and General Ambrose.
"Just remember to do as we planned and we will get in and out with no problems," replied the General scowling at his Captain. He hated having anyone question his plans. He had thought it out very carefully, had allowed for any contingency - including SG-1 - and had promised himself that no matter what they would succeed.
"Major are you still able to do this?" Captain Archer inquired solicitously.
"I don't have a choice," she answered weakly, "I must be able to do this."
"If you cannot do this, just say and we can still abort," the General inquired.
"No, no. I will do this."
The car pulled smoothly up to the gate of Cheyenne Mountain. The driver showed the paperwork to the guard. The guard checked who was sitting in the back of the car and waved them through.
"No backing out now. Remember to do exactly as we planned and this should just be a memory tomorrow."
In the sub levels of Cheyenne Mountain:
General Hammond, along with SG-1, were waiting at the lift doors when they opened on two men and one female. The two men were a lot younger than expected and both could easily be described as very handsome. At least that's what Major Samantha Carter thought. She smiled tentatively at the younger one feeling a little flushed.
Jack, in the meantime, couldn't tear his eyes away from the female Major. 'What was it about female Majors and him?' he thought. She was stunningly beautiful with blond locks and a voluptuous body. He suddenly realised that he was starring and quickly looked around to check why no-one had said anything. He could see Sam making those goo-goo eyes at the Captain and Daniel, Teal'c, the General and the guards doing a good impression of Sam's look but aimed at the Major, although Teal'c's was more a highly raised eye- brow than a look.
He lifted his eyes to meet those of the visiting General and noticed the smirk on the others lips. He looked guiltily away as the General shrugged his shoulders as if saying 'Well what can you do?'
Jack cleared his throat and this seemed to bring the others out of their trances, along with a lot of shuffling feet and red faces.
General Hammond took control and stepped forward. "Welcome to the SGC, General Ambrose. Please allow me to introduce SG-1, Colonel Jack O'Neill, Dr Daniel Jackson, Major Samantha Carter and Teal'c."
General Ambrose stepped forward and shook each hand in turn, even Teal'c's.
"Thank you, General. And these are my aides Major Amour and Captain Archer."
'Strange', Jack thought, 'No first names.' Then he shook that thought away. 'I must be getting extremely paranoid if I start thinking visitors from the Pentagon are more than they seem.'
He followed the group which was now making its way to the observation room. He noticed that both Sam and Teal'c had a faraway look on their face and that they both seemed very happy. Which come to think of it was a strange look for Teal'c to have.
Once they reached the observation room Daniel and Sam launched into an explanation of the workings of the SGC and especially the Stargate. Jack felt his mind starting to drift. It was boring the first time he had heard it, but with each repeating it got less and less interesting. He mentally began planning what would be needed for their next mission. Oh yes, he must ask Doc Fraser for more medical supplies. Danny-boy had a way of using them up without even thinking about it.
Suddenly, he felt like someone was watching him and fervently hoped he had not missed a question aimed at him. Jack looked up and saw General Ambrose watching him with a slight smile on his face. The General looked as bored as he felt. He was starting to like this guy more and more.
The lecture finished and General Hammond signalled to Jack that SG-1 should now take their guests on a tour. Jack stood and asked them to follow him. He intended starting the tour in the infirmary.
As they left the operations room Captain Archer asked if they could see the Control Room first. Jack tried to explain that they were not going to visit he control room but instead found himself agreeing and starting to take the guests in that direction. He desperately tried to stop himself screaming in his mind for the others to intervene as they knew that the Control Room was out of bounds. Unfortunately no-one disagreed and the group had arrived at the Control room.
The guard at the door tried to stop them as he knew the visitors were not allowed in there but the General just looked straight at him and the guard felt like he was starring into the pits of hell. He collapsed against the wall as the group continued into the control room. The operatives in the room either looked to Colonel O'Neill for an answer or the more experienced tried reaching for the alarm. None of them made it as they all collapsed at their work stations.
SG-1 could see what was happening around them but they could not move, could not speak and were therefore mute witnesses to what followed.
Captain Archer reached across to the DHD computer and dialled in an address that Sam could just see from where she was standing. She was sure it was an address not on their database. Sirens began to sound and the computerised voice stated 'Gate activated.'
Major Amour was being supported by General Ambrose as he ordered, "Quick, activate the blast shield and isolate the gate room. Then take your mother and get her through the gate. I'll follow."
Captain Archer did as he had been ordered and started down the stairs to the gate room half carrying, half dragging his mother, Major Amour.
In the meantime Ambrose collected all the guns from the unconscious marines. He placed them in the middle of the room. Then he looked at them for a few seconds and they began to melt into twisted metallic shapes.
'Cool,' Jack thought, 'Wish I could do that.'
He then followed the other two down to the gate room. As he reached the blast doors he heard the marines charging down the corridor, General Hammond's voice ordering them to speed up. He turned towards the closing doors and with a thought he melded them together.
Turning back to the Amour and Archer. "Hurry up! That will not hold them for very long."
Both the Major and the Captain had almost made it to the event horizon puddle when the Major fell hard taking the Captain down with her.
In the control room Jack found that he could move. He tried to order Major Carter but found that all he could do was squeak. So he tried again. This time he managed to get the order out, "Major close the gate down."
Major Carter reached the computers to find that she would manually have to disengage the gate. "Sir, it will take a few minutes."
"Alright Carter, get it sorted. The rest of you follow me." He turned and headed for the gate room. When they reached the blast doors they found General Hammond and Sergeant Silas with blow torch cutting through the doors.
Inside the gate room the Captain had picked his mother up and was just stepping through the wormhole when the blast doors opened. Major Carter's voice came through on the microphone. "Still disengaging the gate Sir, but I thought you would appreciate a hand with the doors."
Archer and Amour continued their journey through the wormhole. Ambrose tried to follow but Jack was not in the mood to allow all of them to escape. He grabbed a P90 off one of the marines and called "Surrender or I will shoot you."
The General gave once glance back towards Jack but continued on his way to the Gate. Just a Jack raised the gun to fire it the gate disengaged and the wormhole disappeared. The General turned around and raised his hands.
"I guess I'll surrender now. Wasn't sure I wanted to see the old man anyway."
General Hammond ordered two marines to take Ambrose into custody. Major Carter came down from the control room.
"General, Colonel there's something I think you should know. Just before the Major and the Captain stepped through the gate I managed to get an uninterferred with feeling. Sirs, Major Amour is a goa'uld.'
"Oh great," Jack replied.
