Fuse
Prequel to:- Are we there yet?

It seemed just like another normal day at the SGC.
You know, a gou'ald dropping in here, an deadly weapon there.
SG-1 were sitting around the gate room with nothing better
to do than, well, sit there. Jack brought out his pack of
cards.
"Anyone know how to play Old Maid?"said Jack taking
the cards out and begining to deal. The other members looked
around at each other.
"Don't deal for me, Jack," said Major Carter after a
few seconds silence. "It's been a long time since I've
played and I don't think I can remember how. So, I'm out"
Sam shrugged and so did Jack.
"I don't not understand this game either, O'Neill,"
announced the Jaffa. "I have never seen these things you
call cards before." Jack looked across the table at the only
remaining player, Dr. Jackson, and then packed the cards
away. Daniel looked disappointed.
"I have an idea," said Sam, looking excited. The
rest of the team all groaned. They knew what was coming
next. "Why don't we write a computer program to make the
function of the Stargate, well, better?" The rest of the
team groaned again. They had seen this coming. Or rather,
Jack and Daniel had seen this coming and Teal'c was just
trying to fit in.
"Alright, Carter," said Jack, forcing himself to
stand up. "We'll help you with your stupid little program,
won't we guys?" Teal'c and Daniel both nodded. Only Daniel
looked embrassed at the same time.
So, everything went according to plan. Sam booted
up the computer. Teal'c stood back and watched. Jack made
sacastic comments and got in the way. Everybody was doing
fine. Well, that is everybody except Daniel. He just stood
there in the corner.
"Oh, shoot!" cursed Sam after a while. "I've run
out of power. Daniel, I'll need you to go power up the
Stargate so we can get some more power, clear?"
"Er... why doesn't Jack do it?" asked Daniel, now
very embrassed. So, Sam had nto explain to him in very
techneical terms, which nobody else could understand, to
Daniel it was up to him to get the power. After a while,
Daniel got sick of listen and just walked off to boot up
the Stargate anyway.
Well, we can all guess what happens next, can't we?
After about 5 seconds, there was a huge bang.
"Daniel, what have you been and done now?" yelled
Jack across the now smoke filled room.
"Erm, I think I blow the fuse. What would you say
Carter?"
"The Stargate had a fuse? Whoa, how big is that!"
"What is a fuse?"
"Yes, the Stargate does have a fuse. Now, a fuse
is..."
"Oh, don't let her explain it. We'll be here all
day!"
"Er, what are we going to do now?"
"So, you think you could explain it better then
do you?"
"Erm,hello, I am here"
"Yes, I do for a matter of fact!"
"Dr. Jackson is trying to speak."
"Oh yeah?"
"Yeah"
"What are going to do about all this mess?"
I know a perfect line for just this kind of occassion.
I've been saving it up for just now. ENTER GENERAL HAMMOND!
"What is all this mess? Dr. Jackson, what are you
doing? What's all this noise? Look at the state you people
have made my gateroom. I want a full explaination from each
one of you!" The general was just about to flip out. So,
Jack went to explain but before he had enough time to open
his mouth... "Never mind. I don't care. You're all dismissed
for the next week. Thanks a lot!" The general stromed out.
I don't think he was a very happy bunny rabbit.
"Daniel, I thought you said you used to program
computers back in collage?" said a very cross O'Neill.
"No, I just put that on my CV to increase my salery"
"Daniel, you are never going near my computer again!"
