"So did you and Colonel O'Neill sort everything out?" Janet asked as she
gave Sam a pre-mission check up.
"Sure, we're friends again." Sam replied.
"You got that right." Jack added. "So is she cleared to go, we ship out in thirty minutes?"
"Yes sir. I just need to give her a vitamin shot and a dose of anti- histamine and she's all yours." Giving everyone a shot of anti-histamine before going off world had become standard procedure since the Land of Light incident, as to which they referred to it.
"See you in the gate room Carter." Jack said before going to kit up.
"Yes sir." Sam replied.
"He's definitely in a better mood. So what happened?" Janet asked.
"Nothing, we went to a hockey game, we apologised, we call the guys over we had pizza and no one can answer the riddle of the mysterious equation."
"Maybe it's like the book and is the meaning of life. Something that's unexplainable." Janet offered.
"Maybe. You heard the Colonel; I'd better go and get ready. I'll see you in a few days."
"Be careful, I don't want the infirmary cluttered up with bodies for General Ryan's visit."
"Will do. Oh by the way tell Cassie, to do some research on Texas and cowboys." Janet shot her a puzzled look, but let her go.
~ ~ ~
"Come on Daniel it's time to go home, I've got to tidy my office before General Ryan gets here on Friday." Jack called.
"I still need a few more minutes Jack." Daniel replied.
"You've had three days and you've taken enough pictures, translate everything you have and if we really need to come back I'll convince Hammond. But we're leaving now and that means you too Carter." He called over his shoulder to where Sam where quickly tapping away on her laptop.
"I knew I was going to regret telling you that." She said under her breath. Jack shot her a look. "Yes sir." She shut down her computer.
"Jack do we really have to leave, I mean is it going to matter that much if we're not there for General Ryan's visit?" Daniel asked.
"Yes it does matter." Jack said through gritted teeth.
"And why would that be sir?" Sam asked trying to bait him.
"Because I promised him that you would put on the Shavadi dress and dance around the gate room." He shot back.
"With all due respect sir, I think I'd resign first."
"What and make General Ryan have a wasted visit? I didn't know you were one for dereliction of duty there Carter."
"There's a lot of things you don't know about me sir. There are limits to what I'll do in the line of duty and I think we've reach most of them at one point or another."
"Oh really and why pray tell would they be." Jack said gripping the top of his gun, Teal'c just stood and watched.
"I let you know when we reach another one sir." Sam said crinkling her nose up.
"Dress uniform?" Jack offered as an alternative.
"Dress uniform yes, dancing no. I'm ready to go I just need to check the MALP is secure when we reach the gate sir."
"Thank you." Daniel mouthed to Sam for the few more minutes she'd bought him.
"Daniel?" Jack turned back to him.
"Yes I just need put these back in my pack." He said picking up his note books.
"Teal'c, Carter, get back to the gate, we'll catch up in a minute."
"Yes sir." Sam replied.
"As you wish O'Neill." Teal'c said before following Sam.
"Did you have to mention not going back?" Jack snapped as soon as they were out of ear shot.
"Excuse me?" Daniel said. "Why is it so important that we're there any way?"
"This information is classified and if you so much as breath a word about it I'll zat you enough times that they won't find the body."
"Okay."
"I went to Washington last week to pitch to the President the need for medals specifically for the SGC. General Ryan is coming on Friday to present some to Carter for all her work."
"Wow. You really are good at over the top gestures. You said some how many medals is she getting?"
"Seven. Dating back over her time in the SGC. Including one for breaking the laws of physics to get me back from Edora. That's why she needs to be there and that's why the information is classified. You can't tell her."
"I promise. This is so exciting."
"Daniel, We'd better get back to the gate before they come looking for us."
"Sure."
~ ~ ~
"Janet." Daniel entered the infirmary firmly gripping two paper cups.
"Daniel, please tell me you didn't manage to injure yourself between your physical and the end of your debriefing." She said without looking up from her clipboard.
"I brought you some coffee. Do you have five minutes to chat in your office I've got an update?"
"Sure. Helena, I'll be in my office." She called to one of the nurses.
"Yes ma'am." Daniel smiled at her comment.
"What?" Janet asked.
"Sorry, I forget sometimes that you're a Major in the Air Force too and not just Doc as Jack would say."
"Let's just say being a base doctor has it's advantages over being in the field, but I can still kick butt with the rest of them." She said as she closed the door. "So?"
"Did you notice anything different between Jack and Sam?" Daniel asked.
"What you mean the intense flirting?" She asked.
"Yep. It kicked into overdrive after the weekend and has been getting worse."
"Maybe our plan was more effective than we first thought." She suggested.
"That's not the best of it. What I am about to tell you is highly classified and you have to promise not to tell Sam." He said.
"Daniel, whatever say will fall under doctor patient confidentiality. So spill." She encouraged with a sense of intrigue.
"You remember Jack's mysterious disappearance to Washington last week."
"Yeah. He meet up with General Ryan."
"General Ryan is not the only person he met. He went to see the President as well."
"What for?" Janet inquired.
"The big overt gesture we were waiting for. He went to convince the President that the SGC needed it's own set of medals."
"Wow. Extreme diplomacy needed there. I take it he got approval."
"I'll say, that's why General Ryan is coming, he's going to present Sam with seven medals for all her work over the years. She's the first recipient."
"Oh my God. Maybe we should get him to say he appreciates us less. But she definitely deserves it and it's definitely not what I would expect from Jack O'Neill."
There was a knock on the door.
"Come in." Janet called.
"Hi Janet, did you .." Sam stopped. "Sorry am I interrupting something?" She asked.
"No, we were just having coffee and trying to figure out what all these secret messages you and Colonel O'Neill keep sending to Cassie mean." Janet covered.
"That's Cassie's secret, the Colonel and I are just helping out, besides you'll find out on Monday anyway."
"Ok, so what can I do for you?" Janet asked.
"I actually came to see if you wanted to get some coffee, I've got an hour to kill."
"Why I thought you were planning on running the tests on the samples we brought back." Daniel stated.
"I was but some of the lab techs decided to use the equipment in my lab while I was away and managed to short half of it out. Colonel O'Neill is in the process at yelling at about how expensive the equipment is and about their duty to report damage like this immediately, not that he has an idea what half the equipment does."
"Shouldn't you be there giving moral support?" Daniel asked,
"I kind of had to leaving to suppress a fit of giggles. The Colonel has strict rules about me not giggling in his presence. So I slipped out to requisition the spare lab equipment from storage, it's going to take them an hour to find it all so I thought I'd come and see if Janet wanted to get coffee since I couldn't find you and Teal'c is kel'nor'emming."
"So sit down and join us." Janet encouraged. "Are you looking forward to General Ryan's visit tomorrow?" She asked.
"As much as any base inspection. It does have its bonuses though; everyone has filed all their reports and the rest of their paperwork correctly ahead of schedule, which will make my life easier."
"Couldn't you threaten them with Colonel O'Neill making a lab inspection every week to get them to do all their work?" Janet suggested.
"That wouldn't work. They still joke about the whole neutrino - Nintendo comment. That's why him yelling at them about lab equipment was so funny."
"I think Jack's beginning to learn more about what we do here everyday." Daniel commented.
"I'm in no doubt about that, but I still remember having to explain the concept of wormholes to him using an apple metaphor. He's got the Malapropisms down so it's funny."
"Malapropisms?" Janet questioned.
"Mrs Malaprop, a character in Sheridan's the Rivals, she always confused everyday words for something else. Like the neutrino - Nintendo thing." Daniel supplied.
"I see." The phone rang. "Fraiser." Janet said answering it. "Yes sir she's here. I'll just get her for you." Janet put her hand over the phone. "Sam, Colonel O'Neill for you."
"Thank you." Sam said taking the phone. "Colonel. Yes sir. thank you . I'll be right up. Yes sir I'll tell him." She hung up the phone. "Daniel, Colonel O'Neill would like me to tell you that hiding out with Janet is not an excuse not to tidy your lab as he knows you passed your physical."
"How did he know I was here? For that matter how did he know you were here?"
"You're usually here, in one of our labs or in the commissary it's not a hard deduction. If you'll excuse me I have two Lieutenants who have been coerced into wanting to make an apology to me."
"I'll see you later Sam." Janet and Daniel both called.
~ ~ ~
"Jell-O sir?" Sam said holding out a glass of red Jell-O to Jack.
"Thanks. How did you know?" He asked.
"You looked hungry and I figure this wouldn't stain if someone accidentally bumped into you."
"Thanks. So General Ryan gets here in a little over an hour. Everything tidy and in order?"
"Yes sir. If you don't mind me saying you look a little anxious. Is everything okay sir?"
"Yea sure, you betcha. Just make sure that you show up for General Ryan's speech on time."
"Sir, is there something going on that you're not telling me?" Sam asked suspicious.
"Why would you say that?" Jack joked.
"I can read you pretty well. You're hiding something sir."
"If I am I'm sure you'll find out soon enough. I'd better go and check in with General Hammond. I'll see you later." He got up and left Sam sitting confused.
"Hey Sam. How's things going?" Daniel sat down in the seat Jack had just vacated.
"Fine. Daniel, what's going on?"
"General Ryan is getting here in less than an hour and people are rushing round making sure the place is tidy and you and I are sat here. Why?"
"Something suspicious is going on. Colonel O'Neill is acting strangely, so is Janet and you've been giving me strange looks all day. So I ask again what's going on Daniel?"
"Look at the time, I've got to go and check all my books are in alphabetical order." He up and left. Now Sam was definitely suspicious now.
"Unauthorised gate activation." Blared the tannoy. Sam got up and ran for the control room. "Major Carter to the control room." Sam rushed into the control room a few minutes later.
"That was quick for someone in heels." Jack joked. Sam looked out into the control room where the podium was being reset up.
"I was called sir?" Sam questioned.
"You have a visitor." Jack pointed over her shoulder. Sam turned.
"Dad." She hugged her father.
"It seems I came at a bad time with everyone dressed up and everything."
"Better now than in an hour. General Ryan is coming to do an inspection in thirty minutes."
"As in the head of the Air Force General Ryan." Jacob asked.
"Yes. Colonel O'Neill went to Washington last week and met with him and he decided a visit to the base was in order. It's good to see you Dad. Did the Tok'ra need our help?" Sam asked.
"No. I just thought I would come and visit for a few days. I suppose I should go and change if the General is coming, I think George has my uniform has uniform around here somewhere."
"Dad, you're a Tok'ra. I don't think General Ryan will have a problem with you not being in uniform."
"But last time I check I was still a General in the US Air Force. Isn't that right Jack?"
"Yes Jacob. You're assigned to Cheyenne Mountain but are currently on assignment somewhere in the heart of Africa and are unreachable."
"Colonel, is there some sort of conspiracy going on here?"
"I think you're paranoid Major, but I'm still impressed it only took three minutes to get here from the commissary in heels."
"I've had more practice than you sir. With your permission I'll go and help Dad locate his uniform."
"I think that incident is one we'll forget for now. Go ahead, General Hammond is on the surface waiting for General Ryan to arrive, but you could try the locker the keep for you here it might be there." Jack suggested.
"I'll see you later Jack and straighten your tie." Jacob advised.
"Yes sir." Jack shot off a salute.
"So Dad why did Colonel O'Neill call you?" Sam asked when they were out of earshot.
"He didn't."
"So you just happen to arrive when everyone else is behaving in a peculiar manner around me for no apparent reason?" Sam said not believing him.
"I don't know about everyone else, but I just finished a mission and thought I'd come and visit for a few days. If you don't want me here I can go and get them to dismantle whatever they were setting up in the gate room so I can go back."
"No you can stay. But I don't believe you."
"If you're going to be this suspicious of people Sammie you may want to think of a career change, I'm sure the JAG corps are still looking for good people."
"Funny Dad. Changing the topic how long can you stay?"
"A few days I'm not sure why?"
"Colonel O'Neill and I are helping Cassie throw a surprise birthday party for General Hammond next Saturday night, if you can stay I can make sure she invites you."
"Who else knows about this?" Jacob asked.
"Invitations go out on Monday, we're having a Texas theme. Lots of Cowboys and Indians."
"Sounds interesting. How did she rope you and Jack into it?" He asked.
"She needed a little recognisance done and she wanted to have the party on the base so she had to get Colonel O'Neill involved as she couldn't directly as General Hammond to throw a party for him. Colonel O'Neill got General Ryan's approval when he saw him last week." She stopped in front of the locker Jacob had been given and opened it and took out the uniform. "One freshly dry cleaned uniform, so are you going to tell me now nothing is going on?"
"Only that you're going to skedaddle so that an old man can change." He kissed her forehead.
"Sure, we're friends again." Sam replied.
"You got that right." Jack added. "So is she cleared to go, we ship out in thirty minutes?"
"Yes sir. I just need to give her a vitamin shot and a dose of anti- histamine and she's all yours." Giving everyone a shot of anti-histamine before going off world had become standard procedure since the Land of Light incident, as to which they referred to it.
