Cheyenne Mountain, Colorado Springs, Colorado

HAMMONDS POINT OF VIEW

General Hammond studies the two officers who are sitting a bit awkwardly at the table.

Lt Austin seems to be a young and promising officer, just like AJ had described her. Her blue eyes are studying is face as she takes in his features, probably just like him she is familiarising herself with the new people around her. He can't help but smile as he notices the similarities between the young JAG officer and their own Major Carter. Her hair is longer then Sams but they're both blonde and her blue eyes look as eager into the world as the scientists. Without a doubt she probably has an as brilliant mind as well.

Opposite of her sits her senior officer, Harmon Rabb. His tall frame surprisingly being able to compete with Teal'cs. Ow yeah, he can see what AJ meant with him being a trouble maker. Not of the bad kind though, just like his own 2IC. His jaws are set as for a brief moment he glances over at Meg. George is a bit surprised as he notices concern in his eyes. As quickly as the emotion was there, it is gone again. Yet another similarity between the Commander and Jack O'Neill, concern for his junior officers.

Satisfied he nods and sits forward, resting his elbows on the table. AJ was right when he said that these officers would not disappoint him. Sure, they still had to prove themselves but they both looked trustworthy and as they seem to own that same determined mind that SG-1 has, he was sure they would do well.

JACKS POINT OF VIEW

"I am General Hammond, the CO of the SGC. This Colonel Jack O'Neill. He is the CO of SG-1 the team you will be assigned to this mission." General Hammond explains and although Jack can see questions rising in the NAVY officers eyes they remain quiet. Both eyes move towards him and he knows - just like he is doing with them - that they are studying him.

His eyes meet with the Commanders and they do a staring contest. Great, JAG send his poster boy. Sure, Jack is a guy but that doesn't mean he doesn't know what the ladies like. Just a guy that Sam might even fall for.

Damn, there goes the contest. He just couldn't help but glance over at Sam, could he? As if she senses his eyes on her she turns and gives him a reassuring smile. Reassuring? Did she hear what he just thought? Nah, that can't be. He returns the smile and looks at the Commander again. Probably thinks he looks good with those golden wings. What was that lame line again? 'Dress whites and golden wings can get you anywhere.' Yeah well, if he tries that on Sam.

Ah! For crying out loud. Can't he not think about Sam for just five minutes? Ok, moving on. Tired of looking at pretty boys face.

Lt Meg Austin, another pretty face, not as annoying as her senior officers though. Big blue eyes, trusting, innocent. Yeah right, where has he seen that before? You think they're innocent and then when you turn your back. wham. Not that he minds, actually he likes it. It's a bit like Sam does. She goes all shy and blushing and then shoots a remark at you that makes your toes curl.

He frowns as he notices a nervous glance from the Commander going towards Meg. Ow yeah, he knows those too. He gives those to his teammembers as well, knowing that something is up but giving them time to confess it themselves. So what is wrong with Meg then? She looks nervous about something. The environment? Guess the SGC can be a bit intimidating.

Why is everyone quiet and are all on him? He looks around confused.

Ow, he's supposed to say something. "Hi." There, that should do it, a small greet and a wave. Perfect, no confession about not liking to have those damn NAVY in MY territory. Ok so maybe not his but, well you know. especially not theirs.

Hammond gives him a strange look that he honestly has no idea about what it means.

SAMS POINT OF VIEW

"Next to him is Dr. Major Samantha Carter." The General tells the two NAVY officers.

"Hi, nice to meet you." Sam says with an honest smile. She must admit that she was assuming the worst when Hammond told them about two JAG lawyers but this didn't seem so bad at all.

The woman sitting next to her actually seems pleasant. Sam gets an smile back and is glad to notice it's not the usual fake one she normally gets from other women. To be honest, she much rather enjoys the company of men but looking at Meg she has a feeling that they were going to get along.

The Commander, well he does look kind of cute. He has that kind of boyish charm about him that the Colonel too seems to possess. Something she can definitely fall for. What was that they say about dress whites and golden wings? Well it certainly goes him well. And that killer smile. oh yeah that could get him anywhere. Problem with these guys is that they know it too. Although he didn't seem to really be full of himself. Then again her problem was that she never notices. But either way, does it matter? Sure he's good looking but.

Sam smiles as she can feel Jacks eyes on him and turns to smile at him. No, no one could ever compete with her Colonel.

Her? What the hell is she thinking.

*Look away, sam. Yeah that's it, interesting lap, try not to blush. Try not to.*

*Oh for crying out loud!!!!*

DANIELS POINT OF VIEW

*Why is Sam blushing?* "And that is Doctor Daniel Jackson. He is the teams archaeologist, linguist,. well specialist on about everything ancient." Hammond says in a description of his job that could easily have come from Jack. except the word 'rocks' is missing.

Daniel forgets about Sams blushing and turns towards the two NAVY officers. They both seem very confused and he can bet they're wondering what he is doing on an USAF base.

Well, they both look nice. Lt. Austin seems to be pretty and very kind. The Commander, something about him just tells him that he can turn out to be trouble. Still, so is Jack so one more trouble maker wouldn't make the difference now, would it? As long as he doesn't end up getting hurt like him.

This complete rivalry between the NAVY and the USAF completely goes by him anyway. But then Jack would say a lot goes by him as he isn't military and doesn't understand a thing about it. Which is true and he honestly can say he's happy about it too.

TEAL'CS POINT OF VIEW

"And last but certainly not least is Teal'c. He's. er. a very value member of SG-1." Hammond says not knowing what else he could say to describe the Jaffa.

"Thank you General Hammond." Teal'c says and bows his head solemnly at the CO and then at the officers. They both look at him rather puzzled, not that he can blame them. A lot of people seem to be overwhelmed by his presence but most of the times that passes as they realise he is fighting with them and not against them.

He does not understand why O'Neill was protesting earlier but he does know that he must have a reason. However in the past it has been proven that those reasons are not always logically. The officers seem to be capable people so as far as Teal'c is concerned he will wait and see how they react in battle before he will judge.

The way O'Neill is looking at Harmon Rabb does tell him that he will need a lot more before he will accept the two members. Then again, Teal'c knows how protective O'Neill is about his team and that his caution has proved valuable in the past. So he respects it.

"So, now you know who we are. I guess we better start explaining why you are here." Hammond continues, knowing this will not be easy.
