"SG-1 to the control room, SG-1 to the control room." The tannoy rang out. Sam placed her mug of coffee on the desk and headed out. She'd only been back at work for six hours and hey need SG-1 in the control room, it was definitely going to be a long day.

"What's going on kids?" Jack asked as he strolled into the control room.

"We've had a message from the Tok'ra, General Carter will be here in a moment." Davis informed him.

"Open the iris then." Jack instructed.

"Opening iris." The iris swung open.

"What's going on?" Daniel asked as he, Sam and Teal'c entered the control room.

"Dad's paying us a visit." Jack supplied.

"Sir, permission to." Sam started. Jack nodded. Sam headed for the gate room.

"Colonel?" Hammond said as he came down the stairs.

"Jacob's coming to visit." Jack supplied as Jacob stepped through the gate. The rest of SG-1 and Hammond made their way to the gate room.

"Dad." Sam said giving her father a hug. "Miss me already?"

"I always miss you Sammie but that's not why I'm here."

"Jake." Hammond said.

"George, I need your help."

"Briefing room straight away." Hammond instructed.

"So what can we help you with Jacob?" Jack asked as they all sat down.

"The Tok'ra discovered a planet without a gate about six months ago, while on recon they discovered a temple with writing that so far have eluded our linguists to their meaning. We would like Dr Jackson's help with the translation."

"Is there any urgency for the translation?" Hammond asked.

"We believe that there is a weapon buried there which will help us defeat the Goa'uld. We need the translation to find the location where it is buried." Jacob replied. "I brought a sample with me." He handed Daniel a data pad.

"It looks Phoenician but I can't be sure without checking references." Daniel said.

"George, this weapon could give us the advantage we need to finally defeat the Goa'uld."

"Dr Jackson do you believe you'll be able to help?" Hammond asked.

"Yes General."

"Okay. SG-1 you have a go." Hammond instructed.

"General, Dr Fraiser has me barred from going off world for another week, it was a condition of me coming back to work."

"Barred from going off world?" Jacob questioned.

"I caught the chicken pox from Colonel O'Neill. Today's my first day back." Sam replied.

"Major, you'll stay here the rest of you have a go."

"You caught the chicken pox again?" Jacob asked as they walked out. Daniel had headed for his office to collect the books he needed and Jack and Teal'c had headed to suit up.

"Only fourteen spots. Apart from getting a headache, I was never sick, but Janet made me take the week off anyway."

"Fourteen? You had hundreds when you had them before."

"Janet thinks it was possibly something to do with the changes Jollinar made to me. Either that or I was just lucky."

"Carter, you got a minute?" Jack asked as he strolled into her lab.

"I was just coming down to see you off."

"I just thought I'd come and say goodbye first."

"You know, now would be a good time to talk to Dad. You've got a day before you reach the planet from the nearest planet with a gate."

"Can't I do it on the way back? That way I can run away if he tries to shoot me?"

"He won't shoot you. Just talk to him."

"And you'll think about it?"

"And I'll think about it." Sam confirmed. Jack gave her a quick hug. "Let's go. The sooner you leave the sooner you'll be back right."

~

"Come to say goodbye?" Jacob asked.

"I had a spare minute." Sam said as she gave him a hug goodbye. "Keep an eye on them for me." She whispered, Jacob nodded and picked up on of Daniel's bags of books.

"Goodbye Major Carter."

"Don't work too hard while we're gone." Daniel said giving her a hug.

"Bye Carter." Jack said.

"Goodbye sir." Sam said with a small smile. "Now all of you be good and play nice with the Tok'ra. Don't go starting any fights without me." She winked at Jack and Jacob chuckled. Jack nodded to Hammond who ordered Davis to dial the gate.

Jacob went through first followed by Teal'c and Daniel. Jack paused before he crossed the horizon.

"Carter?"

"Yes sir?" Sam asked.

"Think about it."

"Yes sir." Sam smiled as he walked through. The gate closed.
