Chapter 6 Meanwhile
Meanwhile, General Hammond was holding a private briefing with Daniel, Teal'c and Dr. Fraiser.
"How long do you think they are going to keep this up, people?"
"Well, Sir," replied Daniel, "Jack has already lasted longer than I thought he would. He has been rather unpleasant to be with recently."
"Indeed, General Hammond, Colonel O'Neill has been expelling the contents of his stomach on a regular basis for the past week. This is not agreeable to observe."
"Dr. Fraiser, what is your opinion?"
"Vomiting like that is not a good idea, Sir. But it hasn't been just that. The fluctuation in body temperature have been worrying me as well. Thankfully, the Colonel's obsession with intense physical activity didn't last too long."
"Is Major Carter aware of all of this?"
"She's seen what he's been doing, Sir, but she is behaving in a similar way, except she doesn't have Ashmel to 'help'."
"What's she been doing?"
"She's been in the gym so much I'm surprised she didn't bump into Colonel O'Neill when he was going through that phase."
"Major Carter has also been doing a great deal of research recently." Teal'c added.
"And they tend to avoid being close to each other during off-world missions." Daniel admitted.
"Does this affect their efficiency?"
"Oh, no, nothing like that. Its just that Sam always sits by me.."
"And Colonel O'Neill feigns a preference for my company."
"But it isn't comfortable."
"SG1 has not had the same ease since the Zatarc incident. I believe it was then that Colonel O'Neill and Major Carter realised consciously what had been occurring unconsciously for some time."
"Have any of you tried talking to either of them? Advised them to come and see me?"
"I would not willingly interfere in the private lives of my colleagues, without my opinion being sought."
"I haven't got a death wish."
"Major Carter walks out whenever I try."
"Well, I guess I'll just have to wait until one or both of them see sense and speak to me. This state of affairs cannot continue much longer. I'll give them a week. If things are the same then, I'll have to think about splitting SG1 up for the safety of all of you. Teal'c, Dr. Jackson, I'll take your opinions as to the best way to split you up into account. Please take some time to discuss the matter between the two of you. However, this conversation is confidential. If I find any of you have even hinted at what has been discussed to ANYONE else, I will take steps, even if you aren't in the air force! Dismissed."
As they left General Hammond's office, Teal'c turned to Daniel. "I do not desire that the personnel in SG1 be assigned to other groups."
"Me neither, Teal'c, but what can we do?"
"Nothing at all, it appears, Daniel Jackson."
