"So did you find anything out?" Janet asked as she entered Daniel's office.
"He helped her paint her living room so she would go to Sara's wedding with him." Daniel replied. "And that he doesn't think the Air Force would spring for flight school if I decided to join up."
"They probably wouldn't. I didn't get flight school since they paid for med school instead. Besides you can get to fly in death gliders and Tel'tac's which have got to be more fun than anything the Air Force has."
"True. Not that I wanted to join the Air Force. Did you find anything out?"
"I mentioned that I knew about the regulation changes. She just blew me off. There's something going on there."
"We've known that for years Janet, but just how close do you think they got?" Daniel asked.
"Very if the look in Sam's eye is anything to go by. We're going to have to find out for sure."
"What do you propose?" Daniel asked.
"Well I do have an idea.."

Sam was humming along to a CD while she worked; she was in a very good mood. She was checking through some of the reports that were on her desk about various tests she'd asked people to run for her while she was away.
"La, la la lala la, la la , lalala la la."
"Major Carter." Sam quickly stopped the music and turned around.
"General Hammond sir. I'm sorry about the music."
"Don't worry Major; it's nice for the base to have a bit of life."
"Yes sir. I'll have all the reports I need to turn in today on your desk by 1600. It'll take me that long to organise all the information and to find Colonel O'Neill to sign off on them."
"Sam, I think we both know Jack never reads your reports unless I specifically tell him to. So unless they're your mission reports or things that he directly needs to see, you can sign them off on your own recognisance. You're more than qualified."
"Yes sir. Was there something I can do for you sir?" Sam asked,
"I just came to check that you and Colonel O'Neill had sorted out you're little difference of opinion."
"We're working on it." Sam said knowing exactly what he was talking about. "We've come to an understanding."
"Good. If you ever have a problem my door is always open, either on or off the record."
"Yes sir, thank you." Sam said not knowing what else to say. "General, Daniel and I would like to present an idea to you tomorrow, if you have the time."
"We'll find time after SG-16's debrief and before SG-3's briefing."
"Yes sir."
"Carter." Jack yelled as he neared her office.
"Yes sir?" Sam said not knowing where to look.
"Sorry sir I didn't see you there." Jack said as he saw Hammond.
"It's okay son. I was just leaving."
"If you wait a minute sir. Carter, did you print out my reports for me?"
"Yes sir. You just need to sign them." She handed him a stack of paper.
"General if you just wait one minute my mission reports will be up to date." Jack took the pen Sam offered and signed his name with a flourish on each report where required.
"Good work Colonel. I'll expect your reports to be up to date from now on." Hammond said as he accepted the reports.
"Sir, I wouldn't go that far." Sam suppressed a smile at Jack's comment.
"Sir's if you'll excuse me I really do need to get back to work." Sam said.
"Of course Major, come along Colonel."
"Yes sir." Jack replied.
"And Major." Hammond said before he left.
"Yes sir."
"Put the music back on."
"Yes sir." Sam hit play on the CD and music filled her office again.
