The conversation turned more general then, as Abby joined them and then the food arrived. Both teams were left considering the titbits of information that had been dropped and trying to fit them into their pictures of the players involved.

They thought the shocks were over for the night, but as usual Abby managed to have the last laugh. Over dessert she asked Sam.

"So, when can I come and play with your alien?"

Shocked silence descended for a moment. Sam, though, just rolled her eyes.

"Abs."

"But Sam, can't you even get me just a sneak peak at the code. Code like that is like … the ultimate. I mean, just one look at a few lines of that code would get you McGee as a willing slave for life!! Have you managed to get him to talk yet, or is he still the strong silent type? Actually, I guess I'm just assuming he's a he, after all, even without the clothes you couldn't really tell sex. Although I really think you should reconsider the clothes! Have you given it a name? Maybe something like Ganesh, the god of wisdom?"

The SG team relaxed once they realized Abby was talking about the "hologram" and were able to enjoy the show.

"Or Thor?" was Jack's contribution.

"He's a little short to be the God of Thunder, don't ya think? Silly General Man."

Everyone smirked at Jack's reaction to this, unsure whether to laugh or pout.
