"Alliances of Magic and Science"

Chapter 5

(SGC, Infirmary)

"Major, show them to the Briefing Room please. Hammond and Mutant X are waiting. Tell them I'll be there in a minute," Dr. Allison said.

Major Davis nodded and saw Nicole run off without saying another word. She stepped inside the infirmary and saw that Daniel, who was sitting up, was surrounded by the members of SG-1. They all looked at her when she entered. She approached them slowly.

"We'll leave you two to talk," Jack said.

"We'll be waiting outside." Sam said.

"Thanks," Nicole said to them.

Once they left, Nicole sat down on the infirmary bed.

"It's about time you woke up. I was starting to get worried," she said.

"Sorry 'bout that," Daniel said tiredly.

"I forgive you," she leaned forward and kissed him lovingly. "I have to go. I just came by to see how you were doing for myself,"

She bent over to give him one last kiss before leaving. Daniel pulled her closer and kissed her passionately.

"Come on, Nicky. We gotta go!" They heard Jack.

The two broke away.

"Alright, I'm coming, Colonel," Nicole shouted back. She turned back to Daniel. "I'll come by later, after the briefing."

"Okay," Daniel said.

Nicole gave him one last kiss and left.

(SGC, Briefing Room)

Nicole and the rest of SG-1 walked into the Briefing Room and sat down. Needless to say, the room was filled to it's maximum capacity. Somehow they had managed to pack all 14 people in that one small room. After introductions General Hammond was the first to speak:

"You have all been Briefed by Dr. Allison?"

Everyone nodded.

"Good, now we can discuss the main objective for this mission," Hammond said. Our main goal is to take out Sekhmet. I would like for you guys to only knock her out and bring her back the earth. Major Carter has already alerted the Tok'ra, asking to help. They are willing to take the symbiote out of Evelyn."

"What if we can't kidnap her?" Gunn asked.

"Then you'll have to do your best," Hammond said.

"In other words, try not to get yourselves killed," Jack said.

General Hammond gave a small smile.

"Exactly, Colonel," he said. He looked around at everyone. "Special Team X, be ready to embark in 24 hours. In the meantime, I'll authorize you to give Mr. Angel and his team a tour around the base."

SG-1 nodded.

"Yes, sir," they all said.

"Dismissed," the General said.

Everyone nodded and slowly left the small room.

"So, are we ever going to see this Stargate thingy?" Spike asked.

"Yes, you will see the 'Gate. It's part of the tour," Nicole said.

Sam leaned over to Nicole and Angel.

"Is he always like this?" Sam asked.

"Yes," the two said in unison.
