"Colonel, I need to speak to you."
Sam turned around slowly, inches from in the infirmary door.
"Look, I'm not....." she trailed off as she looked up and saw Jack walking towards her, and amused look on his face.
The Captain standing in front of her turned to see what had captured Sam's attention. "Ma'am." she said respectively, and Jack smiled and nodded, then stood before Sam.
"Colonel." he spoke it slowly, drawing out the word, as if daring her to contradict his statement.
"Si.." she caught herself in time, wondering slightly at this game he was playing. "Major." she acknowledged him finally, and the two locked eyes for a moment, a silent battle of wills. Sam broke contact first, although the slight movement was indistinguishable to the Captain who looked on in confusion.
But it signaled to Jack that he could continue to play his game and she wouldn't interfere. In fact, she was planing on helping him.
"Captain, can it wait?" she asked, suddenly turning into a hard military figure.
Taken a little aback, the Captain slowly nodded, still trying to figure out what had just happened, "Uh, yes sir."
"Good. Major, if you would." She turned to motioned him to the infirmary, amusement playing in her eyes. Jack smiled to himself, enjoying the rare moment of humor Sam was showing. She rarely lowered her military standards, and through this singular incident, she would break all protocol by impersonating a superior officer.

"Well, it's confirmed. The gate on Pxf- 568 is defiantly buried." Daniel paced the briefing room, his eyes continuously falling on Sam and Jack. The two were often in silent war of their own with their eyes, but at that moment Jack looked up to him, Sam's blue eyes reflecting the lights of the room.
For a fleeting moment, Daniel considered, not for the first time, how beautiful Sam's body really was, the mentally kicked himself for thinking that when Jack was inhibiting it.
"What about that mind-swapping device we found on P3w-924?" The General spoke.
Daniel stopped short, "You mean uh, Ma'chello's... mind-swapping device?" They all paused.
"Oh no, I'm not going though that again." Jack mumbled, then glanced across the room at Sam.
Her lips were mumbling the exact same line.
"Carter?"
"Sir?" she looked up startled, then turned to the General, "I remember that."
"You what?"
"I..... can't explain it sir. But I remember swapping bodies with Teal'c."
"But you and Teal'c never swapped bodies." The General pointed out.
"I know that sir." Sam threw helpless eyes at Jack, unable to comprehend what was going through her mind at the moment.
"Wait a minute," Daniel leant his arms on the table, staring down the two Air Force officers, "Are you saying you're remember things that have happened to Jack?"
Sam slowly nodded, glancing at Daniel before turning back to Jack, "And just before I signed his name like it was my own."
"The translation!" Daniel suddenly stood up, a grin plastered on his face, but only got confused looks from the rest of his team. "Before..." he tried to explain, "Jack came in and read the translation I got from Ultraworld. I couldn't explain it before, but now it makes perfect sense! Don't ask me how it happened, but I think you are experiencing both memories at once."
"Woah, Daniel wait a minute. That's not possible."
"I know!" Daniel was absolutely livid, walking back and forth, trying to sort it out through his head, "But you guys didn't remember at first, it started coming incrementally." He stooped, and turned, "I think you may be getting your old memories back all together."
"Daniel, sit down." Sam spoke, then glanced at Jack, who was watching her, "Okay, so let me get this straight," she turned back to him, "From the beginning. The Ultra transferred mine and Jack's memories into tubes, which you mixed up when you tried to reinstate them. So Jack is in my body and I'm his. And now your saying that we're remembering... being ourselves?"
"I know it doesn't make any sense, but how else do you explain Jack's knowledge about the translation? Or how you managed to remember something that never happened to you."
"All right people." The General finally stopped the conversation, "If what Doctor Jackson says is true, both of you should be back to normal..." he looked at Daniel for conformation.
He shrugged, "At the rate they're remembering, a week, maybe two."
"All right. We'll see how his theory plans out. Until such time, SG-1 is on stand down. Colonel O'Neill, Major Carter, you are confined to the base until I say otherwise. Understood?"
"Yes sir." Sam said quietly.
"And what if we don't, remember being ourselves, sir?" Jack asked.
The General looked at him, at a loss for words.
"I do believe we'll cross that bridge when we come to it." Teal'c spoke softly.
