Chapter 2:
General Hammond sat in his office reading SG-3's latest mission report when the telephone rang.
"Hammond."
He said into the speaker.
"General Collins, what can I do for you?"
The voice on the other end of the phone asked if Hammond he had an opening at the SGC. Collins and Hammond were old friends from Vietnam and had stayed in touch through the Pentagon.
"Well Paul, I'd have to be certain they had the right metal for this position."
Collins reassured the two star General that Summer was exactly what he was looking for.
"Tell you what, as it's you I'll give her a trail basis, training with my top officers and if she fits in, then she will be offered a permanent position here at the SGC."
Paul Collins thanked Hammond and told him he wasn't making a mistake. Collins sent a copy of Summer's record through to Hammond.
"I'd love to talk and catch up but I'm a busy man you know."
Hammond said humour playing in his voice.
"Ok Paul, I'll talk to you later. Send Colonel Knight over tomorrow, I know a few of my officers will be eager to meet her"
Collins thanked him once more and hung up, picking up the phone again to tell Colonel Knight the good news.
One of the Sergeants came through with Summer's file; he sat and began to read. He came across a picture of Colonel Knight, she was dark haired medium length, hazel eyes, very attractive he noted. He read over her file once more. She was very experienced, a little insubordinate at times but all in all she was a very capable officer, well worthy of servering under his command. To be honest her file reminded him one of his male officers, Colonel O'Neill. He and Summer had a lot in common, both ex special forces, trained in the same things ... Covert Operations, Infiltration, Special Weapons and Tactics, Demolition, Chemical Weapons and is a Field Expedience Specialist. Yep it was all there, everything his Second in Command had trained in. Hammond decided either she and Jack would get along great or their personalities would clash and one of them would end up reprimanded before the day was out.
