Chapter 2.

"Colonel, major, Dr Jackson, Teal'k, this is Captain Jim Holland. He is from the intelligence division that found the ship." General Hammond said to the assembled group.

Captain Jim Holland stood and walked to the head of the briefing table. "People, I don't know what you all know about this ship, or its occupant, but after the briefing I have just received from your Intel people, I am going to authorize full co-operation with my people. Frankly, we are just not equipped to handle the situation. Ask me any question, and I will try to answer it to the best of my ability."

A look of pure disbelief crossed jack face as he heard this, and he looked across to major carter to make sure that he wasn't hearing things. She looked back at him and grinned smugly "that's right sir, you heard him correctly, Full co-operation!"

"I just don't believe it, this must be a first. This requires cake!" said a slightly stunned colonel. "Seriously, why are you now, for the first time in my memory going to be honest? Alls I have ever know from you Intel people in the past is deception. Humm? And, just out of interest, what intelligence division are you from?"

the captain looked slight bemused and replied.

"why colonel, im from the N.I.D, and its only your track record that has made my superiors want to disclose all information relating to this incident, as they believe that you and your team will be able to capture of destroy these aliens before they can conquer earth. Simple. Just the way I know you like it."

"Ooh, someone with a bigger attitude than me. This could get fun!" quipped colonel O'Neill.

"PEOPLE! " barked general Hammond "I don't want any kind of friction between you during this crisis. Is this understood?"

"Yes Sir!" came the reply from both the captain and colonel.

"Good, dismissed. Read through all the information that is contained in your briefing packs, and reassemble here in 1 hour."

With that, he stood. As did all the other people sitting at the table, and walked away. Colonel O'Neill looked at Captain, grinned, and turned to his team. Ok people, lets read through this and find these snake heads. Carter smiled, Teal'k bows his head, and Daniel just reaches a file folder. "That's my team" thinks O'Neill happily.
