The 4th Instalment of Txt Teror, I am going as quickly as I can but I have
other fics on the go and have study leave and exams so if it still takes me
a while, you know why.
Jonas was sat in his room thinking. Becky had replied to him and said that the time was perfect and she'd see him then. He was really getting the hang of the text reading, as he didn't even have to ask Sam what the reply said.
It was Friday and Jonas was sat wondering what to wear. He finally decided on smart casual. He just hoped that Becky would have the same thoughts. Even though he had decided this he didn't know what to wear. He decided to go ask Sam for help.
Jonas knocked on the door of Sam's lab. An unfamiliar voice called out for him to enter.
"Hi, is Sam here?"
"No, I'm afraid not."
"Do you know where she is?"
"Try the control room, she might be doing some tests on the 'gate."
"Thanks, I'll do that."
Jonas walked back out of the lab and wandered into the lift. He punched the button for level twenty-eight.
He was daydreaming and didn't notice when Jack walked into the lift.
"Hi Jonas."
"."
"Jonas?"
"."
"Jonas, wakey wakey."
Jack waved a hand in front of Jonas's face. This finally caught his attention.
"Oh.hi Jack."
"Nice dreams?"
"Huh?"
"You were daydreaming."
"Oh, sorry."
"No problem. Where you off to?"
"Control room, apparently Sam's there."
"Did you try her lab?"
"Yep."
"She probably is in the control room then."
The lift stopped at level twenty-eight but Jonas didn't seem to notice.
"Jonas, we're here."
"Oh."
Jonas walked out of the lift, followed by Jack.
"What did you need Sam for anyway?"
"Stuff."
"Stuff?"
"Yep."
"Care to elaborate?"
"No."
"OK then, I'll just ask her."
"She won't tell you."
"She will if I order her to."
Jonas paled.
"Come on, we're friends, you can tell me."
"Well, I have a date with Becky and I don't know what to wear."
"Is that all, and who's Becky?"
"Oops, sorry, Lt Rush."
"Right."
Jack smiled.
"You know, I'm quite good at the clothes thing too."
"Well you can both help me then."
They walked in silence till they came to the control room. There was nobody there except from Siler.
"Can I help you?"
"Yes, we were wondering where Major Carter is."
Siler paled.
"She's down there Sir, but I don't think she's in the right mood to see you right now."
"Why not?"
"See for yourself."
He pointed down into the 'gate room. The sight that met there eyes looked stunning. Sam was the only woman in the room and she was shouting at about ten male technicians.
"Is there any possibility we could hear what's going on?"
Siler typed something into the computer, turned the sound down then turned the sound on.
".Earth do you manage to make such a mess of things? There are ten of you for crying out loud, and not one of you can do such a simple thing as this? I think even colonel O'Neill could do this it's so easy."
All of the scientists visibly cringed as Sam said those words. One of them took a glance up into the control room.
"Excuse me? I'm talking, DON'T ignore me."
Sam followed his line of sight up to the control room.
"In fact, there is the Colonel, lets find out whether he really can fix this."
Sam waved to the pair to go down. They gulped and started for the stairs.
"Good luck Sirs."
"Thank you Sergeant."
The pair appeared in the 'gate room.
"Colonel, this bunch of no brains can't seem to figure out what's wrong with the 'gate. It's a training exercise. I wonder whether you could be as so kind as to tell them."
"Umm.of course."
He looked around the 'gate room, noticing nothing wrong. An idea came to him. His Major sure as hell could be devious sometimes.
He went over to the power box and opened it. Sure enough, inside, the power switch was set to off. He smiled then pulled the switch.
The 'gate hummed slightly then all the lights saying that everything was operational came on.
"Very good Colonel."
"But that's not fair."
"Excuse me?"
"I said it's not fair."
"First., NEVER speak to a commanding officer like that, second, ALWAYS go for the easiest option first."
The whole group jumped when she shouted the two words as she started speaking quite normally.
"Now get your asses out of here so I can have some peace."
"Yes Ma'am."
The ten trainee technicians chorused then marched out of the 'gate room.
"Trainee trouble Major?"
"Yes Sir, I don't think any of them will make it into the SGC. It's becoming increasingly difficult to find decent technicians. I think Siler is the best we've got."
He blushed up in the control room.
"Now were you here for a reason?"
"Um yes."
"Jonas needs some help on finding something to wear for his date."
"Oh wow, she said yes then!"
"Yep."
"AND you managed to read her message."
"Yep."
"Excuse me, what are you going on about?"
"I'll tell you later Sir. First of all, shopping."
"Now?"
"Yes now, we'll just tell Hammond then get out of here."
The group walked up to the control room. Sam nodded at Siler. He nodded back, still slightly red. They climbed the stairs to the briefing room then walked into Hammond's office area. Sam knocked on the door.
"Enter."
The group went in.
"What can I do for you?"
"We were wondering whether we could have the rest of the day off, as there is nobody off world."
"What do you intend to do?"
"Well, Jonas needs something to wear for his date."
Jonas blushed.
"Ah, of course, go ahead."
"Thank you Sir."
The group left. Hammond smiled.
