This story is a combination of SG1, MacGyver, and Pretender. I do not own any of the characters from any of these three shows. /Means thinking to themselves.

Prolog The SGC had undergone many changes over the last few months. The President appointed General O'Neill head of the SGC. General O'Neill knew the operations of the SGC forward and backward, but was still rather new to director status. Not to long ago he was the leader of the 1st SGC team. Actually he was missing those days terribly.

/Boy is this place boring without SG1. / SG1 was currently off world and General O'Neill was missing them. /This job is definitely not what it is cracked up to be. Paperwork, and more paperwork, how did General Hammond do this without going totally mad. /

"General O'Neill there is a phone call coming in on the secure line." Officer Johnson said as he poked his head in.

"Thanks Johnson." O'Neill picked up the phone. "General O'Neill, here." "Jack, how's it going?" General Hammond asked. "Man how did you do it? The paperwork and boredom is killing me." Jack said. "You get use to it. How's SG1 doing have you found a new member yet?" Hammond asked. "No, maybe it's because I wish I could join them again. I've got piles of qualified personnel I just can't bring myself to make a decision." Jack said. "Stick with it Jack, you're just what the SGC needs right now. Well I'll keep in touch. Bye, Jack." General Hammond said and hung up.

The phone rang again almost as soon as Jack hung it up.

"General O'Neill here." Jack said. "How in the world did you manage that one?" The caller asked. "Jarod, is that you old buddy? I haven't heard from you in over 15 years. How the hell are you?" Jack asked. "Okay I need a place to hide out for a while. The center is getting to close. Do you think I can join your team for a while? You know I can pull it off." Jarod said. "We just need to set up a good cover for you. They do extensive background checks here." Jack said. "It took me forever to establish mine." "I have a military cover set up. I even setup academy grades to go with it. Fifth in my class, not bad if I do say so myself. Check your email I just sent you my file." Jarod said. "That's not a bad personnel file. When can you be here?" Jack asked. "Five hours. See you then." Jarod said.
