CH 36

When they reach the mountain and Sam parks her car next to Jack's truck. They get out and head to the elevators, Sam used the scanner while Jennifer signs in, and they walk to the elevators.

When they reach level twenty-five, they go to where the uniforms are stored, so Jennifer could get her BDUs sorted out and then she is taken to the women's locker room. When they reach there Hammond was there waiting for them.

"Cadet Jennifer Hailey, General Hammond."

"Sir." she stood at attention and saluted.

"At ease Cadet. Major, did she sign the papers?" Sam passes him the file and he opens it and nods. "Good luck, where are you planning on taking her?"

"PX258, sir"

"That where SG1 is?"

Sam smiles. "Yes, sir you know how Jack loves babysitting a bunch of scientists, sir."

He chuckled. "Well I did give him a choice, teaching or that."

Sam giggles. "Well, sir, we'd better get changed and go and rescue him from them."

"Very well." he walks away with grin on his face.

"Ma'am who is Jack?"

"Colonel Jack O'Neill, my husband." they walk into the locker room to get changed.

"What did you mean rescuing him?"

"When I first meet Jack, he told me he loves women but hates scientists"

"But he married you?"

"Yes, he did, I did manage to change his ways a bit but know he can't stand my technobabble as he calls it." she said smiling.

"Why is that?"

"Because he can't understand it, so I had to try to explain it to him, so in a way that he can understand."

"Ok." once they were changed, they go to the Armory to get their weapons

"What this?"

"Zat, here let me show you how it works" Sam picks up her zat and shows her.

"Shocking."

Sam laughs. "Yes, but just remember what I said."

"Yes ma'am."

"Shall we?"

They head for the gate room while still talking. When they reach the gate room "Wow, so this is the stargate."

"Yep."

It was spinning at the time, when it whooshes into life. "Woo."

"Amazing isn't it."

"I'll say." they walk up the ramp and stop, Jennifer touches it. "Wow"

"Come on" they step through. "Wow, that was amazing."

"It sure is"

Jennifer looks around, "Wow" they walk down the steps as the gate shuts down. "What this?"

"DHD, short for dial home device."

"It's small."

"Yes, it is, come on." they walk to the outpost, when they reach there a few minutes later, they could hear Jack raise his voice at someone. "Oh boy someone pissed Jack off," Sam says.

When they walk around the big containers, Sam can see Jack yelling at two scientists. He has his back to their approach.

"Colonel, we've got company."

Jack turns around and relaxes when he sees Sam and smiles, which she did in return, when they reach them, Jennifer stands at attention and salutes Jack, whom does his typical O'Neill salute back.

"Colonel Jack O'Neill, Cadet Jennifer Hailey."

"Sir."

"At ease, cadet. Sam what are you doing here and why bring a cadet with you?"

Sam smiles. "Well sir she might be joining the SGC in few months, but it is up to her."

"As in?"

"Another me."

Jack rolls his eyes, "What another egghead. Oy, I've got enough problems with these four behind me."

"What seems to be the problem besides, them giving you a headache?"

"They want to check some caves nearby, but I told them that Teal'c and I will have to check them out first, for safety."

"Ok, you and Teal'c can do that and I'll babysit for a while."

"Thank you, Sam," he gives her a kiss and turns to the others.

"You guys listen to Sam here, while Teal'c and I check out the caves and radio in to let you know when it is safe, got that."

"I'm not going to listen to her."

Jack walks up to the guy. "Oh yes you are, or you are going back to Earth, take your pick."

"Ok, I'll stay."

"Good, Teal'c let's go." They walk down to the caves and perform the standard search, before returning to camp. "Ok guys you can go."

Sam stands up and looks around.

"Major what is it."

Sam puts her hand up. "Jack can you hear that?"

Jack listens. "Yeah, and it is getting closer."

"I can't hear a thing." One of the others says as they listen for couple of minutes and looking around.

"I can hear something" Another says, as they continue to look around.

"Sir." Jennifer points to the trees, they see small bright yellow balls coming from the trees, heading towards them.

"Into the building"

They ran into the building and close the door and lock it. Teal'c pulls out his zat and opens it when they come through the walls, so he zats them and they disappear, so others get their zats out.

"I've got an idea, Jack."

Sam runs around and gets everything set up and turns the power on, as she moves on to each machine. They hear the tings trying to get in but can't.

"Wow, Major Carter, how"

Sam told Jennifer what happened to her and Jack.

She responds with shock. "Wow, you and Colonel O'Neill are indestructible"

"Yeah, that sums it up."

"How much gas is in the generator?" Jack asks.

"Sorry, sir. I forget to fill it up this morning."

"How much time are we looking at here?"

"About ten minutes."

"Great" he takes his hat off and runs his hands through his hair and looks at Sam.

"Jack, I've got an idea."

"What is it, Sam?"

"Well, have you searched north of here, yet?"

"Yes, two hours before you showed up, why?"

"Well how about you and I run to the north of here, those things will follow us. We click the radio twice to signal these guys, so they can run to the stargate and just before Teal'c goes through last, he can click his radio twice to let us know that everyone else made it through safely" Jack thought about it and smiles

"Well, it sounds like a plan to me, this is what going to happen." Jack briefs the others on the plan. They take a moment to prepare, then Sam and Jack run out and the things follow them. Once they were at a safe distance, Jack click his radio twice. So, they run around with the yellow balls following them, until they hear the two clicks from Teal'c. They pick up speed and run to the gate with the yellow balls following behind them. They run up the stairs and through the gate.

"Close the iris" Jack said, the iris close, they heard small thumps the gate shuts down.

"Everyone ok?" they nod

"Is it always like this Colonel, Major?"

Jack and Sam look from each other to Jennifer. "Sometimes, we normally run from the Goa'uld or some other bad guy, but some missions nothing seems to happen."

"Wow."

"Yeah, come on we better go and have our post-op exams and showers."

They leave for the infirmary, for their exams, then get cleaned up. Sam shows Jennifer her lab and around the SGC, including the control room. Jennifer was amazed with what goes on and what Sam has accomplished. An hour later they head to the mess hall for some lunch. When they were sitting down at one of the tables, they were talking. "Major can I ask you a personal question?"

"Depends on what the question is?"

"How long have you and the Colonel been married?"

"Almost four months"

"Ok, what are my chances of joining?"

"Well, it depends on you."

"Thanks"

Jack walks in and smiles when he sees Sam, he goes and gets his big lunch before joining them. "Sam, Hailey"

"Sir"

"Jack, how did it go with General Hammond"

He sat next to Sam. "Those damn idiots, they want to go back, I told Hammond what happened there. I suggest we wait for a week and that you and I head back to see if it is safe for them to return or not. He agreed with me, they are pissed off about it"

"I bet"

They talk for few minutes. Teal'c walks in and get his lunch before joining them. Jennifer asks lots of different questions.

They left an hour later and go their separate ways. Sam and Jennifer go back to Sam's lab, so she could show her some of the things she been working on for the rest of the day.

The next day Sam get a call from her old professor about Jennifer, he told her how much she's changed in just the one day and thanks her for whatever she did, which makes Sam smile.

A month later, SG1 along with Sam, take one of Cronus's ships to Vorash, where the Tok'ra have been living. Not long after they arrive, they receive word that the system lords were on their way and they know that SG1 is with them.

So, they start to evacuate and since Apophis is now dead, they have no use for Tanith, so they remove the symboite from the host and place a Tok'ra symboite, to gain access to Tanith's memories. Teal'c take hold of the symboite and walks out of the chamber to one of the collapsing tunnels and throws it in.

"Teal'c are you ok?" Jack asked.

"I've got my revenge, O'Neill."

"I know, come on we've still got a lot of work to do."

They go back to work evacuating everyone either to the mothership or to the stargate to their new home world for who knows how long. SG1, Sam and some of the Tok'ra were aboard the mothership heading to their new home world. Sam was checking on the engines, when she felt a presence, so she turns around and relaxes

"Hi, are you ok?"

"Hello, Samantha"

Sam frowns, "How do you know my name?"

"You don't know, do you?"

"No, who are you?"

"I'm Lantash"

Sam eyes widen, she shakes her head, "No, he died."

"Martouf died, I still lived, they removed me and put me in the tank until an hour ago."

"And Martouf"

"Anise tried to find what she needed, but Tanith zated the body so she couldn't find what she was looking for."

"How do you know this?"

"Host memories."

"Of course."

"You know Martouf loved you."

"I know he had feelings for me because of Jolinar."

"Yes."

"Lantash, things have changed for me, I hope you will understand."

"What's changed?"

"I'm married, I've got a mate"

"Are you happy?"

Sam smiles, "Yes, I am happy, sorry Lantash, I didn't even know that you were alive."

"Now you know, not many Tok'ra know that I was alive including Tanith."

"Ok, if you will excuse me" she walks out of the engine room and goes looking for her father, she found him on the bridge.

"Dad."

He turns to her, "Yes Sam."

"Did you know Lantash is alive?" Sam sees his reaction. "What?"

Sam nods when he was shocked at the news? "He taken Tanith's place."

"Are you sure?"

"He told me, so you didn't know?"

"No" The council walks in with Jack.
