A/N: Hey everyone! Sorry for such a long delay on the next few chapters, but school finally caught up with me and all…..Thank you so much for the reviews- it inspired a few more chapters that otherwise would have gone unwritten. This isn't the ending. Also, I decided that it is physically impossible for me to write long chapters, so please forgive the short ones. Anyway, R&R, and if you think of anything else that should go here, please tell me or I will have to wrap it up soon. ---Loo PS- and for being soooo patient with me, I am letting the team leave the room.
General Hammond paused outside of the isolation room that contained his flagship team, trying to school his thoughts so he wouldn't think too much.
"Don't bother, General! We can hear you anyway!" he heard Jack shout from inside. George took a long breath and entered the room. Shutting the door behind him, he faced the exasperated team.
"I see it is getting worse." He commented.
"Apparently." Daniel said, voice heavy with sarcasm.
"General, please, please, please, PLEASE, let us out of this room." Jack begged. George nodded to him.
"Doctor Frasier has found nothing that would endanger anyone else, so as long as you stay on base, you can go." He said, barely getting the sentence out before the team was out the door and on their separate ways. George chuckled to himself and thought *Nuts! * to himself.
"We heard that!" Jack yelled form down the hall, then continued on his way without a pause.
Jack was in the commissary, thankful that there were only two other people in there at the time, when Daniel and Sam strolled in. They sat down in front of him in silence. Jack grinned as he heard one of the women behind him make a mental comment about Daniel, who promptly lowered his blushing face into his hands.
* Apparently, that is a mutual feeling throughout the entire base * Daniel said to his other two telepathic friends.
* Oh, really? * Jack replied, interested with amusement. Daniel just nodded, sadly.
* Yup, men not withstanding. I started to really get worried when I walked by that guard on level 5. * Daniel explained, and Sam coughed, trying to cover her laugh.
* What are you laughing at, Major? I heard most of the men, at least on level 12, have a huge crush on you. Maybe I should send some of them over to your lab. * Jack threatened with a grin.
* Sure, why not?! They can act as if they understand me, too- just like my lab assistants.* she said, visibly miffed. Jack and Daniel exchanged confused looks and Sam continued. * It became clear to me, earlier, that my own assistants tune me out when I try to explain something. One of them was actually thinking aobut the color of his socks while I was talking to them about the consistency of Naquada in the soil on PXY438, and how the quarks are different." Sam ranted. Jack and Daniel snickered.
* Hmm…….come to think of it, my socks are green today…* Jack thought, then laughed at the glare that Sam shot at him.
* Don't laugh, Colonel. At least they don't think I am 'scary'. * Sam said.
*Scary? Me? " jack asked, genuinely surprised.
*Yup. Oh, and, sir, please don't go into my lab and order my assistants to fix your GameBoy. They have better, more important stuff to do. * Sam said, eyeing him with both amusement and reprimand. Jack looked at her innocently for a moment, then gave up.
*So, how far can you hear people?" Daniel asked.
* Well, I can hear people on the same level pretty clearly, but I swear I heard Siler scream in the infirmary earlier. * Sam said.
* That is 5 levels away, Carter! * Jack said, and Sam nodded.
* He screamed pretty loud. * she explained with a grin.
* Yeah, I heard quite a few people on the level above me. Oh, and, Jack, be careful what you think really loud. It took my 10 minutes to realize that it was you that I was hearing singing before I could continue to work. Speaking of which, I didn't realize how annoying my assistants were until today- so I know how you feel, Sam. * Daniel said, sympathetically.
* Why, what did your do? * Sam asked.
* Oh, nothing. They just keep walking around saying " It's all greek to me, its all greek to me…" over and over. IT gets to be annoying, especially when they are working on Egyptian text. * Daniel said with a sigh. It was Sam's turn to grin with Jack at this.
* Well, I, at least, am getting better at tuning everyone out. It is only a dull roar in my ears now, unless I focus on one voice. Imagine my disappointment when I found out that the cute little nurse on duty right now doesn't think that I am the most handsome guy on base. * Jack said, feigning hurt.
* Oh? And who DOES she think is the hottest guy here? * Sam questioned, amused. Jack just glared hatefully at Daniel.
