Sam Carter:
It had been electrifying to be that close to him. Jack . Colonel O'Neill . Watch it Sam. It was not the time to go school girl with a crush on your teacher. Even if you are pretty sure he feels the same way. I made it to the locker room and donned my gear. "Please, God, let him understand the note, and that I don't mean what I have to do." I fought back the tears. This thing was going to be too damn hard and it was damn unfair. But if Jolinar's memories regarding this world are correct, there was so much at stake and so many things to be gained. One false move and the NID would report to Kinsey and all hopes of keeping this close to the vest would be out the window. I finished clipping my belt and headed for the equipment room.
Jack O'Neill:
I opened Sam's note.
Can't explain, no time
All new are NID
we have a previous "involvement".
Be vague
Play along
Reject me
Fight with me, then slap me.
Trust Me Please, Trust Hammond.
1984
I lo…
The rest of the note was smeared by a tear stain. My only response could be " What the HELL!!! Damn it Carter, … Then the reference to 1984 made the cross reference in my brain, the quick way of saying that big brother is watching and that saying anything that may give the situation away would be basically stupid. 'Ok Carter, ' I thought to myself. ' I have no idea what this is about but I'll play it your way. I trust you and I lo… you too. But what in the world could have you this scared. ' I checked my watch, I didn't have time for thinking or reactions, which seemed to be the theme for this morning and probably a tactic as well after all it was only 0950 in DC. Political types couldn't very well interfere while they were still fooling around with their interns. My brain was starting to hurt from thinking. I pushed the "Trust Carter" thought back to the front of my mind, pulled on the rest of my gear and headed to the gate room.
Halfway there the General fell into step beside me
" Colonel, I spoke with Major Carter and I have made the appropriate arrangements for you two to continue working at the SGC. I trust that she communicated with you and that you understand the situation," distinctly meaningful pause. " as it has been is unacceptable and that I had to pull quite a few strings and call in a few favors in order to keep the two of you from being court-martialed . "
"I understand sir," responding to the comments before the pause.
" Just keep things professional here and off world and we won't have a problem, is that understood colonel?"
"Yes sir."
He broke off and climbed the stairs to the control room leaving me to get into my gear. I stepped into the gate room a few minutes later, I was the last one to arrive. The rest of SG-1 was there and ready to go, but so were 4 of the 5 'visitors' from the briefing,
I walked up to Carter, who gave me a way too obvious playful smile, too bad her eyes gave away how nervous she really was. Something only I or maybe Teal'c would notice. Jonas just hadn't been around enough… I wished for some way to talk to Sam about this, but things were just getting more complex and I had to do what she asked of me.
"Colonel," the General said from the control room. " Major Conway and Captain Mallory will be joining you on SG-1. You didn't get a chance to meet them at the briefing, so get aquatinted now. Captain Carter will be heading up SG-19 on this mission with Teal'c, Airman Nichols and Captain Brower."
"General are you sure this many people is necessary, there doesn't seem to be any threat and it seems like a simple "science' mission."
"Colonel." He stated in his firm 'don't challenge me on this' voice.
"Yea, sir" I saluted for effect. " I got the sense that The General and I were not supposed to be on the best of terms right now.
The gate roared to life and I caught Hammond's last look at me, full of concern, hope, and maybe just a little fear. "You have a go."
We turned and stepped through the StarGate, Big Mistake.
