Major General Hammond suppressed a sigh. SG1 was his best team, but sometimes the shit they got themselves into would even give a chunk of granite indigestion. Take their latest mission, for example. This time it was Carter whose nosy science brain had stumbled over some piece of, admittedly fascinating, alien technology sacred to the locals and somehow desecrated it. Hammond thought only Jackson did the sneezing thing. Apparently not. Seven days and two negotiating teams later SG1 had finally stumbled through the Stargate looking like they'd spent a week in Lord of the Flies and with nothing to show for it.
Hammond read over and signed yet another mission report to send it up the pipeline. He didn't know how much longer he could insulate the SGC from the bureaucrats if they didn't come up with some bit of alien junk to bring back from their next mission. That was the problem with military projects. If a program didn't provide results promising new and improve ways to neutralize the enemy, all sorts of interfering Hell could break loose.
Tell me, my friend, have you ever danced with the devil in the pale moonlight?
Every damned day
