"Carter." Jack called as he strolled along the corridor to her lab.
"Carter."
"Yes, did you try recalibrating it?" Sam said into the phone. "Umm, I not sure of the exact ratio, hang on a minute." Sam grabbed a file and quickly found the page she was looking for. "That's 10.987 to 1. Yes. I'll talk to the General."
"Carter." Jack said. Sam scribbled on a piece of paper. "Wait a minute please."
"We're not too busy and I'm sure the General will want to know the results. Call me back when you've got that recalibrated and send me a copy of the report. Okay thanks." She hung up the phone.
"Did you need something sir?" Sam asked.
"What's an X-301? And why are you so happy about it?"
"They've been retrofitting one of the death gliders from when we brought back. It's been designated the X-301. They've almost finished it and it's ready for testing. They just have a calibration problem." Sam explained.
"They retrofitted a death glider?"
"Yes. You had a proposal form in your in box before they started building it. They need someone to test it. I thought Teal'c would be the best one to try it since he has the most experience flying death gliders. I was going to talk to General Hammond about it."
"Where are they retrofitting it?"
"Out in small facility in Nevada. They thought it would best to test it over the desert so they had it shipped out there from Area 51."
"And you want to convince Hammond to let you go out there?" Jack asked.
"Feel like helping sir? We don't have a mission at the moment and I have no work. Team trip would kill a few hours."
"Write something down and we'll talk to Hammond in a few hours."
"Thank you sir."

"You can head out first thing tomorrow morning. If these basic tests work out, I'll contact General Vadrine and have him come out."
"Thank you sir." Sam replied.
"Colonel stay, Major you're dismissed."
"Yes sir." Sam turned and left.
"Sir?" Jack questioned.
"Jack this could be on of the most important things we've done since we opened the Stargate. I need you to look it over from a practical Air Force pilot standpoint rather than Sam's scientific viewpoint. We need to know the practical implications."
"Yes sir. I'll be highly sceptical."
"Good. One other thing, strictly off the record, Jacob would like me to point out that Nevada has many more great attractions than just the X-301."
"Yes sir." Jack said slightly confused.
"Good dismissed."
