"Asguard to the rescue...as...usual"
Chapter 3


"I'm afriad that I have some bad news gentlemen," General Hammond said entering the briefing room. Colonel Jack O'Neill stood for the general's presence. "I'm afraid that the United States Air Force has officially declared Major Samantha Carter missing in the line of duty."

"What? We've just started!" Jack argued.

"George there's gotta be something you can do!" Jacob told him.

"I'm afriad I've pulled all the strings I can. The services will commence tommorrow morning in the gate room. Dismissed." Hammond said before anyone could argue anymore. He sat at the head of the table and watched as Colonel O'Neill, Doctor Jackson, and Teal'c walked out.

"George, I just can't give up hope."

"I know Jacob, I'm not asking you to."

"Tommorrow you'll open that gate up and send a wreath through to say good-bye and I'll recieve the flag. It's wrong for any father to outlive their children. What do I tell Mark? My grandkids?"

"I know. I told Doctor Frasier I'd tell Cassandra. You haven't met her, but Sam loved her as her own. You should met her Jacob. Come with me? They're waiting in my office."

"Okay, but just cause the military says she's dead doesn't make it true."

"I know, but I still have to tell Cassie."

"I know, I just don't like it."

General Hamond entered his office to find Doctor Janet Frasier and Cassandra waiting for him. Jacob followed and waited by the door as George Hammond stepped behind his desk. "Hello Cassandra, I'd like you to meet someone, this is Jacob Carter." Cassandra turned to the man by the door who merely nodded.

"Hello."

"I'm afriad I have some bad news," Hammond started.

"About Sam?" Cassie asked.

"Yes. I recieved word today that she has been declared missing in the line of duty. The U.S. Air Force has given up hope and decare her dead."

"What? No! It's not true!" Cassie said sobbing, with Janet Frasier holding her. Jacob Carter left the doorway and headed away from the office.

"The process is complete she will awaken soon," Thor told Narim.

"Thank you."

"We will begin preparation to return you both and your cat through the stargate and back to Earth."

"What about their Iris?"

"We will open it before you go through."

"Thank you for all you've done."

"Don't thank us, thank the Tau'ri and Colonel O'Neill when you see them. Without them this would not be possible."
