"So this is where you spend all of your time." Amy said as she stepped into Jonas' office.
Jonas spun around," Hey, how'd you find me?"
"Oh I have my ways." She said teasingly." I asked Major Carter and she told me what level your office was on. I heard you were heading off world first thing tomorrow so I wanted to just wish you luck in case I didn't get the chance later." She looked at the various books he had all over the place and all the enlarged photos of the translations." So how's it coming?"
Jonas sighed," I was starting to get it, but now I'm noticing that the translations from inside the platform seem to be encoded. So not only are there these incredibly difficult glyphs to translate but now some of them are encoded. I'm really beginning to wonder if I'll ever get it."
Amy bit her lip for a second. Jonas could tell she wanted to say something but she didn't instead, she said," Well, I'm sure you'll figure it out eventually." She glanced around his office," I take it you like the ocean." She said motioning to his various ocean nick-knacks and his fish tank.
"Yeah, growing up on Kelowna, my parents, sister and I would go to the ocean in the summertime every year. My sister and I would go around looking for various wildlife, and we'd stay out till the moon was up. I always loved that, they're some of my favorite memories."
Amy glanced at him and touched one of his plants," I never knew you had a sister."
Jonas' voice grew quiet, "Yeah, well, had being the word."
Amy stared at him oddly," What'd you mean?"
Jonas was quiet," She died when she was eleven."
Amy was silent for a moment, "I'm so sorry. What happened?"
"She-uh, fell through the ice on a lake, we got her out in time, but she caught double pneumonia. She was really, really sick for two weeks. Kelowna's medicine isn't that advanced, but even if we had been on earth I don't know if she could have been helped."
"How old were you?"
"I was thirteen." There was a slight pause, "After that we really didn't go to the ocean that much." He said touching the side of his fish tank.
Amy could sense that he needed the subject changed," So what made you put a fish tank in your office instead of your quarters?"
He shrugged," Before I was on SG-1, General Hammond let me look through this office and I noticed the fish tank in here. When I got my own office I thought it was a cool idea to have fish in your office. I mean they're pretty but they're also relaxing. I find they calm me down when I watch them."
"Yeah, they are calming, I could never keep mine alive though. Who feeds them when you're off world?"
"Various people I ask. Hey, would you mind feeding them the next four days while I'm gone?"
Amy shrugged, "Sure, but I got to warn you Jonas, I have a terrible track record when it comes to pets. I mean I come with a warning label."
Jonas laughed," Well, I trust you enough to take the chance." Jonas looked at the papers on his desk." I just wish I could have finished this. It's driving me crazy."
"Well, maybe it's a good thing." Jonas stared oddly at her," Sometimes you just need a break from something and when you come back to it everything just clicks." Amy explained.
"Let's hope so. It's like it's some great mystery."
Amy cocked her head," Well, you know what I suggested."
Jonas smiled," Don't worry I haven't thrown that idea out the window yet."
"Well that would be kind of difficult Jonas, we're underground." Jonas laughed.
"Hey, I thought you were working in here?" Colonel O'Neill was at the door.
Jonas seemed to stiffen, "Sorry Sir, just taking a small break."
"That's okay I guess, but only a small one." Colonel O'Neill glanced at Amy." Dr. Smith, I presume?"
Amy seemed surprised," Yes, Sir, I was just stopping by to say hi to Jonas."
"Don't have to explain yourself Doctor, just making sure Jonas isn't slacking." Colonel O'Neill looked back to Jonas," Hammond wants us in his office in half an hour, we're doing our before mission briefing today instead of tomorrow morning. We're leaving earlier than planned."
"How early is early?" Jonas asked.
"0700."
Amy saw where the conversation was going and figured she should leave," Well, I better get going; I'll see you around Jonas. Colonel O'Neill." Amy nodded and left.
"See ya, Amy." Jonas called after her.
Colonel O'Neill was quiet for a minute." So that's the girl Carter and Teal'c said you got a slight crush on."
Jonas rolled his eyes," Are they still saying that?"
"Yup, but I don't think that at all."
"Well that's good to know, Sir."
"I think you seriously like this girl."
"Colonel-"
"Yes, I know you're just friends with some things in common. I've heard that before. But that was not why I came here." He handed Jonas a folder." I had a feeling you didn't get the chance to review on our new mission. Figured you should glance at it before we have our briefing."
"Thanks, Sir. I appreciate it."
Colonel O'Neill was quiet for a moment." How's it coming?"
Jonas shrugged," Slow but I'm finally starting to get some more of it. I just wish I could have gotten more done before this mission."
"Don't worry about it. Doing this kind of thing is difficult sometimes. We all know you'll get it. It'll just take a little while." There was a pause." Well, I better let you finish up. I'll see you at the briefing."
"All right, Sir."
Colonel O'Neill went to the door and stopped. He turned around and looked at Jonas. "Jonas; Teal'c, Carter, and I were talking about going out again in around two or three weeks, you better be at that one okay?" Jonas nodded," Good," Colonel O'Neill went to leave again, then stopped," Jonas," Jonas looked at him a little oddly this time. Colonel O'Neill was slow with his words," You're a member of SG-1; stop trying to prove yourself all the time, all right?" There was an odd silence." See you at the briefing."
"I'll be there shortly Sir," Jonas said as Colonel O'Neill left the room.
