Authors Note: This takes place during Season Six but without Jonas. I don't like Jonas. I find him irritating and obnoxious. Daniel is so much nicer. Also note That I'm not real sure where this is going yet but bear with me....

Jack, Teal'c and Daniel made their way quickly through customs after a close call with Teal'c's assumed identity. They stopped out the front of the Sydney international airport and Jack hailed a taxi.
Uh, Jack? Daniel asked. Where are we going? As they seated themselves in the bright orange car.
US Embassy.
Oh. Why?
As we have nothing else to go on Danny, the General has arranged for us to go to the Embassy where he will pass on any new info.
Right. Got it.

At the same time, in another city Major Carter was trying to find out where she was. It seemed setting off the alarm had been the best thing she'd done all day. In the confusion of everyone evacuating it had been all the more simple for her to slip away unnoticed.
She was now roaming the streets looking for some indication of where she was. Her keen military senses were noticing little things. Which side the traffic drove on. The colour of the taxis and mail boxes. Turning a corner she found a pay phone. Sam dashed over with barely contained joy.
Glancing around the Major pulled out the phonebook from the silver shelf it sat on. Whitepages Brisbane Australia. The book mocked her. Shit! I'm on the other side of the world! Picking up the book she flipped open the front cover. She found the number she wanted and dialled. Her foot started tapping of it's own accord as the phone rang.

The intercom in the General's office buzzed.
He inquired. It was well past 5pm, he didn't think his secretary would still be here. Then again the SGC didn't always run on the normal work day clock.
I have a collect call for you Sir. From Australia.
Put it through. SG-1 checking in he mused to himself. They'd raced off to the opposite side of the world in an attempt to locate their much needed fourth member. The phone in his office rang and he picked it up.
Hello? Hello General? General Hammond was brought out of his musings by a feminine voice on the other end. General? Are you there? Mentally shaking himself the General managed to find his voice.
Major? Is that you? He asked, his voice wavering a little. Laughter could be heard on the other end.
Yes! Yes it's me! I'm calling from a payphone near Anzac Square in Brisbane Australia. The Major was brimming with enthusiasm. A good sign.
Alright Major, calm down. There are operatives in the country. I want you to move to a new location as soon as you get off the phone. I will contact the operatives and let them know where you are. What is your physical status? He asked her, holding his breath.
I'm okay. Came the tinny reply. My arm hurts like the devil from the little Nanites, but so far no side effects and no slicing and dicing of your favourite Major. General Hammond allowed himself a smile. His favourite major' had been spending too much time with Colonel O'Neill. Sir, the woman who was holding me was called Ms. Patrice. Stupid name. Thought the General. She knew an awful lot about the Stargate program and Adrian Conrad. I think she may ---Shit! I gotta go Sir, I've been spotted. I'll contact you in 2 hours. If you don't hear from me....Consider my situation compromised. The phone cut out and the General was left listening the steady beep of the phone.
Slamming down the handset he roared at his secretary.
Get me Dr. Fraiser. Double time! He wrenched the phone up again and dialled. Get me Colonel O'Neill. He barked. I don't care if he is sleeping off jet lag, this is his commanding officer. So get him now!

After Dr. Fraiser had been briefed she left to contact the Orban people to see if they had any occurances of strange side effects like the Major had mentioned.
Daniel was using a secure internet hook up at the Embassy to find out if Adrian Conrad had made up a will of inheritance for his company. Teal'c had begun acquainting himself with a map of the city the Major was currently believed to be in.
General isn't there anything that we can do? Colonel O'Neill's voice had a distinct whine to it on the other end of the phone.
Son we've done all we can until either Daniel presents more information or we hear from the Major. At this stage you are to catch a flight to Brisbane and contact me from there. The General heard a muffled shout in the background.
Hang on General. Jack turned around to Daniel.
The new president of Zedatron Industries is a Ms. Patrice Conrad. His niece. She has an office in Brisbane. Jack turned back to the phone.
I heard, you have a go. Bring Major Carter home.
