SG-12 SPECAIL OPS TEAM

CHAPTER 4: GETTING TO KNOW YOU

The four of them were led to the cafeteria in the base. They hadn't eaten anything and did take some food but they were not really that hungry. In the last five minutes their entire world was turned upside down.

Except for Capt. Hunter. He was eating regularly, and couldn't stop smiling the whole time. To him this was the greatest opportunity in his entire life.

His attitude was really started to get to Lt. Paulumbo. "What the Hell are you so happy for, we just stepped into the twilight zone here, and we got a government agency that deals with frigging E.T.'s and we're at war with one of them!"

"I know isn't it GREAT." Jon really couldn't contain his excitement. This was his dream.

Paulumbo just looked at him, as if seeing something he didn't noticed before. "For the love of everything Holy, you're a Trekker aren't you?"

"Hey I am NOT a Trekker, it is true I like Star Trek, but I also like Star Wars, Farscape, Babylon 5, and pretty much anything else Sci-fi related."

"So you're a geek." Paulumbo stated.

"Hey watch it Lt. or your gonna get a grenade shoved in a vary uncomfortable spot!" Hunter said as he pushed back his chair and stood up.

"Bring it on marine, I eat guys like you for breakfast." Paulumbo said, doing exactly the same as Jon, and getting up.

"That's enough, both of sit down!" commanded Maj. Conner. They both slower sat back down never taking their eyes off each other.

"Now I'm not one to criticize a person's tastes, but at least I can say he seems to be handling batter than you are Paulumbo, so for now both of stow it."

"Now I admit this is all overwhelming, but they seem to want us working here as a team, and I'm not one to disappoint Uncle Sam, plus this is most likely THE most important post in the entire freaking world. So I'm in, and it obvious that the Capt. is in, so what about you two?"

Lt. Jones sat there thinking in silence, after a minute she spoke up. "I'm in, you're right about importance of this place."

Lt. Paulumbo sat there still seething a little, with his arms crossed. "Alright I'm in, I would still be sitting in the stockade and serving under that jerk of a CO, and this Hammond guy seems a lot better than him."

"You were in a stockade for what?" Maj. Conner asked him.

"I got into trouble fighting in a bar again. I can't help it my dad was a middle weight boxer and I got his joy of fighting from him. Plus it's not my fault those marines didn't know how to duck." Paulumbo answered him in a mater of fact voice.

"WHAT? What you were fighting marines?" This was Hunter, he got a little pissed that his fellow marines were being insulted.

But before another fight could start up the Major intervened. "Hold it right there you two, I'm not going to let both of you tear each other apart."

They both did their best to get under control again, but Hunter and Paulumbo were staring daggers at each other. 'Oh Lord this is going to be fun, what were they thinking making a team filled with members from different services.' Conner though to himself.

"Okay, since I'm the ranking officer it seems that I'll be in command and the Capt. here being the 2nd highest ranking is most likely going to be my 2IC, so I'd like to know about you people personally, especially what you are experts in, because I don't have your service files, and I like to get a jump on this."

"That and you probably want a little team bonding to happen." Said Paulumbo sarcastically.

"Well that would be nice too, but I'm not getting my hopes up. So what about you Lt. what did the seals teach you to do?" The Maj. asked him.

"I can't believe I'm doing this." He muttered to himself. "Well sir, I'm a hand-to-hand specialist and I excel in heavy weapons, my favorite is using the M60, that's about it"

"Well I always like to have some heavy fire power with me, glad your here, now what about you Lt. Jones?"

"I'm an Army Ranger sniper, I also have some medic training and tracking skills as well." She said plainly.

"Wait a minute, a ranger sniper? Weren't you that won that marksmanship award at that tournament last year?" Hunter asked her.

"Yes, that was me, how did you know that?" She was curious because there were a lot of tournaments some times, and it was a year ago, people have a tendency to forget you after about three months. Hunter had a smile of his face at her question. "I remember because the guy you beat out of 1st place was a friend of mine, so if you can beat him you are definitely good."

She gave him a nod but didn't say anything else.

"You're a quiet type aren't you Lt?" Maj. Conner asked her.

She gave a small shrug. "I'm more of an actions than word person sir. I'm just more comfortable on my own, it's one of the reasons I become a sniper sir."

"Well then I won't hold it against you then Lt. just make sure you voice any opinions or ideas, I don't want a mute on my team, understood?"

She gave a sharp nod, to acknowledge him.

"Well now for you Capt. what do you bring to the team?" Conner asked of Hunter.

"Well let's see, I'm a marine who excels in demolitions, explosives and sabotage." He happily stated.

"Boom-Boom" Lt. Kat Jones said out of the bloom.

"Excuse me Lt.?" Conner asked her.

A small smile grew on her face then. "You wouldn't happen to Capt. Jon "Boom-Boom" Hunter would you? The same Hunter that blew up a chair with a General in it?"

"Oh I heard about that from a friend of mine, only he said if was a Senator." Paulumbo said.

'I heard that rumor too, but I hope it was just a rumor.' Thought Conner.

"I didn't blow up the entire chair, just the legs and it was a Col. but I was going for this Major, but he switch chairs with him." Hunter said to them all.

'Oh God no.' Thought Conner 'It was true and I got him on my team.' He put his head into hands right then and there.

"Man I think I misjudged you Capt., anyone who does that has got to have the biggest set of steel balls on him of all time." Paulumbo told Hunter, with a huge grin on his face.

Hunter decided to change the subject before anyone asked about that time with that General's daughter when he was a Lt. and about that betting pool he had going once. At least the one that they had caught him running.

"So what about you Major what do you do, other than lead?" Hunter asked quickly. "Well I did a lot of black ops, so if I told you I'd have to kill you." He said with a deadpan expression. "So let's just say I get the job done anyway I can and leave it at that."

Suddenly they heard a voice talking to the Major coming from their left. "Well if it isn't Maj. David Conner. You never call, you never write, so how's the family?"

They turn to see a man in fatigues, he had graying hair, a slight scar above his left eye, and had a patch on his arm that read SG-1.

"Jack!?" Conner nearly fell out of his seat.
