Sam sat in her office, head resting in one hand as slowly drifted off. She
stared blankly at her computer screen, not noticing the data displayed
before her until fatigue settled over her and she slept where she sat.
"Colonel sir?" Sam woke with a start, looking up at the voice in her door way, a young sergeant stood uncomfortable in front of her, a clip board in his hand.
"What?" she asked, digging her fist into her eye, rubbing hard.
"I need you to sign these documents sir."
Sam nodded absently, still groggy from the rest, and reached over to take the clipboard out of the mans hands. Her eyes scanned the document, and she frowned, "This sort of stuff is handled by the colonel." She told him.
The sergeant blinked, then slowly nodded, "Yes sir."
Sam waited for him to take the documents back off her, but he failed to comply. "Sergent?" she wondered at his bazaar actions.
"Sir?" the man questioned.
Suddenly it hit Sam. She was still inside Jack's body. How had she forgotten? She slapped her forehead in a very Jack-like action, "Oh for crying out loud." She mumbled, then grabbed a pen off her desk and signed it.
The sergeant nodded his thanks, then walked briskly out the room. Sam sat for a moment shocked. She'd just signed the colonels signature. Jacks name, and she hadn't taken pause. The letters had flown from her hand like the name was her own and come out perfectly. Sam frowned, then grabbed a piece of paper and tried again. It didn't work. The letters before her looked nothing like Jack's signature. She rubbed her eye again, then stood up, heading towards the infirmary.

Jack stood, leaning against the door way to Daniels office, watching the younger man huddled over documents. He had checked in on Sam before, but his second in command had fallen asleep at her computer, and he didn't have the heart to wake her. Mumbling something about letting the elderly get their sleep, he had wandered the corridors for half an hour before winding up at the archaeologist office. Daniel had mumbled a tired 'Oh hi Sam' before going back to his work. For once, Jack let the name slip. He'd suddenly become very curious with his work.
"What you working on?" he asked casually.
Daniel looked up again, "Jack!" he exclaimed, then motioned him to come in, "I didn't hear you."
Jack frowned, wondering just how much sleep Daniel had had.
"I was just trying to figure out some of the writings we found on Ultraworld."
Jack nodded, standing behind Daniel, his eyes scanning the pages in front of them, when something caught his eye. "Wait a minute.. Daniel have you seen his?"
"What?"
"That planet was artificial. That map we saw, mounted on the wall, it was a circuit diagram. Of a computer. They weren't feeding the planet information, they were gathering it for data."
"For what? A giant encyclopaedia?" Daniel asked.
"Something like that. Do you know how useful something like that would be?" Jack asked, standing up again, a grin lighting his face as he started to pace the room.
"Jack, slow down! Listen to yourself. You sound just like Sam."
Jack turned, facing Daniel, "I sound just like Sam..?" He trailed off. Something definitely felt wrong.

Thought I'd disappeared on you? Sorry it took so long to post, but with Christmas and all. I hope everyone has a WONDERFUL New Years, and I promise the next chapter soon!
