"So Doc can I go?" Jack asked as he sat on the infirmary bed. Sam had come
with him.
"Sam?" Janet asked.
"His temperature has been dropping steadily over the last few days, it finally went completely yesterday. From what I can see most of his spots have scabbed over. He's been a lot less cranky, but that could have been because he had someone else to talk to other than me or yell at the TV."
"And you're going somewhere which Tok'ra intelligence says is highly forested?" Janet asked.
"From what we can tell."
"We'll Colonel, I don't see any problems but you're still a little red. Sam can you help him put on some camouflage paint over his spots. Should stop him from standing out quite so much."
"Sure. Sir, I'll inform General Hammond your fit for duty on my way to kit up, then I have to go up to my lab to check on some things. Meet me there when you're ready."
"Okay and Carter, you can move again when we get back."
"Yes sir." Sam thought for a second. "Damn." She muttered.
"Carter, what's wrong?" Jack asked.
"I was working on my laptop before you were beamed up and I had just got of the phone when I was beamed up. So I didn't switch off. Your doors aren't locked, the TV is still on and anyone can just walk through the door and steal highly classified information."
"So go and get Thor to beam you back, switch off your laptop and bring it back here, lock the doors and bring me the keys." Jack suggested.
"Yes sir." Sam left to go and locate Thor.

"Sir, do you want this in a particular pattern? Spots, strips, lightning bolts?" Sam asked.
"Carter, just put the damn paint on so we can get out of here and kick some Goa'uld butt. We'll also can our discussion until we get back."
"Yes sir. Close your eyes and sit still." Sam dipped her fingers in the camouflage paint and ran them across his face in a gentle diagonal movement covering his face and spots. She took his hat off and placed it backwards on her head while she covered the spots on his neck and to just below his collar. "Sir, hold out your hands." He opened his eyes and held out his hands while she covered the spots with the paint, she carefully turned his hands over and worked down his lower wrists. Jack shuffled uncomfortably in his seat. "Almost done sir." Sam finished applying the paint to him and dipped her fingers in the paint and then ran it over her face. "Done. Let's go." She started towards the door.
"Carter, my hat."
"Sorry sir." She took it off and handed it to him.
"No sweat. We should get you one too."
"I'll stick with my slightly larger one, doesn't mess up my hair quite so much." Jack looked at her. "Sir, I don't want to make a bad impression on potential allies. Can we just go and kick some Goa'uld butt so I can stop saying things that make me look like an idiot? "
"Carter, trust me no-one around here will ever think of you as an idiot. Slightly annoying when you go into over drive on the technobabble about your doohickeys perhaps but never an idiot."
"Yes sir."
"Jack, you've lost the spots and gained too much camouflage paint." Ferretti joked as Sam and Jack joined them in the elevator.
"Funny."
"Do you know why I was recalled?" Ferretti asked.
"The System Lords are having a picnic and they invited us." Jack said sarcastically. "So we thought we'd get dressed up."
"Thor dropped by the Asguard witnessed three System Lords meeting on a planet. The Tok'ra have the same intelligence we're going in to take them out." Sam supplied.
"You need to get geared up; we ship out in thirty minutes."
"Yes sir. By the way Sam thanks for the additions."
"I'll catch up on the others when we get back. The Colonel no longer requires a Colonel sitter, so I'll be back until we ship out as soon as Daniel is one hundred percent."
"So you'll be able to finish finding out what that device is?" Ferretti asked.
"Ferretti, it's nothing more than a lump of metal with a hole in it. I had a few tests run on it, while I was here fixing the gate the other day. I also had it run through the list of Mac'hello's devices..."
"Carter, didn't we just finish a conversation about people finding this annoying." Jack said.
"Colonel, Ferretti asked. Besides which there wasn't really any technobabble in that sentence." Ferretti watched them interact. "and I have limited the all the scientific talk for the last week."
"You've been bossy all week."
"Sir, we can only have this conversation so many times. You're fine now, I'm moving out as soon as we get back. You're back to being in charge can we just leave it there?"
"Carter, you've been nothing."
"Children stop it." Ferretti stepped in. "Before you both say something you'll regret."
"I'm going to see Daniel before we leave, there's something I need to ask him." Sam stepped out of the elevator to take the stairs back up to Daniel's office.
"So what's up with you two?" Ferretti asked. "I thought you would be closer rather than at each other's throats."
"Cabin fever? Plus she's been acting like my mother, getting along with my ex-wife and banning me from drinking coffee and beer."
"She was probably acting like your mother, because she was trying to stop you from scratching so you don't wreck your good looks with scars. As for the coffee, when you're sick you should sleep a lot and coffee won't help with that. You shouldn't drink alcohol when you're taking medication for a fever and as for getting along with Sara, Sam's a nice person and she gets along with most people."
"She still annoying and bossy."
"And you still have a crush on her." Jack stared at him. "Sorry sir, I have to go and get ready to ship out and be briefed before we leave." Ferretti back out of the elevator quickly.
