Sam beckoned the rest of the group over for lunch. Jack's attention had been held by his Gameboy for most of the morning. The group sat eating lunch; Jack was still playing on his Gameboy oblivious to what was going on around him.

"Do you think he'll want chicken or turkey?" Sam asked.

"Does it matter they all taste the same anyway?" Daniel said with a shrug.

"Chicken then." She grabbed the MRE. "We'll pick up where we left off in twenty minutes." She stood and carried the MRE and a cup of coffee over to Jack.

"Is there something going on with those two?" Dr Thomas asked.

"Why do you ask that?" Daniel questioned.

"They seem very close."

"Like Sam said yesterday we're a very close team." He wasn't going to help spread gossip especially after Jack's little outburst at him. "But just to reassure you they're not doing anything against regulations so you can rest easy." It was the truth, Jack and Sam's relationship wasn't against the SGC's version of the Air Force regulations anymore.

Teal'c nodded in agreement with Daniel's statement.

"So, did you beat your high score yet?" Sam said as she went on the edge of the rock he was sat on.

"What?" Jack said as he glanced up from the Gameboy.

"I asked if you'd beaten your high score on Tetris yet?"

"About six times. Taking a break?" He asked.

"We broke for lunch ten minutes ago. But you seemed a little busy at the announcement besides which junior was getting restless because Teal'c's stomach was growling so we went ahead and began eating. I brought you lunch and some coffee." Sam held up the items in her hands.

"Thanks. Let me just save this." He saved his place and switched it off. "So what exciting treats do we have today?" He asked.

"Chicken."

"How's it going?" He asked as he took a sip of his coffee.

"We're on the third depth sample. But from the basic tests I've run things are looking good. But you really don't want to hear about that. So did you rescue the princess yet?" She asked as she seen he was playing one of the Super Mario brothers games.

"Once or twice. I'm still stuck on one stage I keep dying no matter what I do."

"Hand it over." She said.

"You want to play?" He questioned.

"Sure, I've got twenty minutes of my lunch break left." He handed the game to her she switched it on and began to play.

"Sam, we're ready to start work again." Daniel called twenty minutes later.

"Two minutes." She said as she continued to play. There was a beep. "Completed. Thanks for the lone." She got to her feet.

"You completed it in twenty minutes?" Jack was stunned.

"Of course." She smiled.

"It takes that long to get through the first four levels."

"It helps when you can skip a few levels." She winked at him and stood.

"Skip a few levels?" He said suspicious.

"I have a niece and a nephew. I've got to get back to work sir. If you get fed up of the Gameboy, my portable DVD player is in the box and my copy of season two of the Simpson's."

"Thanks Sam."

"Anytime sir." She walked back over to the group of scientists.

"Jack okay?" Daniel asked.

"He's a little stunned I completed his game in twenty minutes. I'm going to run those samples." Sam replied returning to scientist mode.

"Sure."
