Daniel shuffled uncomfortably in his seat.
"Is everything alright Daniel Jackson?" Teal'c asked.
"You'd think that the Air Force would actually have comfortable seats on it's planes."
"Daniel, these planes are built by the cheapest bidder, they're design to get you from A to B not for comfort." Sam replied.
"We have a tendency to prefer they put the money into things like ejector seats and parachutes." Jack added.
"I'm hoping I'll never have a need for either of those. So a more comfortable seat would be more useful to me." Daniel retorted.
"Hey Staff Sgt." Jack called.
"Yes sir." A Staff Sgt appeared in front of him.
"Sgt, Dr Jackson is complaining his seat is uncomfortable could you see if you can find him a cushion or something?"
"I'll see what I can do sir." He went off to look for something soft for Daniel's seat.
"Jack!" Daniel said. "You're making me looking a whingeing child."
"Daniel, you really did ask for that." Sam said, hiding a smile. Daniel looked at her. "Sorry Daniel."
"Dr Jackson, there aren't any cushions on board but we do have a blanket." The Staff Sgt handed it him.
"Thank you."

"Colonel O'Neill, Major Carter, Dr Jackson and Teal'c." Jack introduced them and flashed his ID when they got to the facility.
"Major Grundell is expecting you. If you proceed to the second hangar on the right sir's ma'am, he'll meet you there."
"Thank you. Ladies first." Jack let Sam proceed through the gate.
"Thank you sir." Sam walked past him, Daniel and Teal'c followed.
Sam entered the hangar and eyed the X-301.
"That's pretty impressive." Daniel commented as he stopped behind her.
"Umm."
"Major Carter?" Sam turned.
"Major Grundell?" Sam questioned.
"It's nice to finally meet you in person."
"You too. Let me make some introductions. Dr Daniel Jackson, Teal'c and." Sam turned to where Jack had just entered. "Colonel Jack O'Neill."
"Major.." Jack said.
"Sir. It's nice to meet you all, we've all read all your reports in conjunction with the death gliders. We used that information when were developing parallel systems for the X-301."
"May I?" Jack asked as he crossed the hangar and went up the steps.
"Of course sir."
"How much longer until we can begin test flights?" Sam asked.
"We found a problem when we were running some basic tests this morning. One of the components in a system we installed failed it needs to be replaced. That's going to take another six hours at least."
"Six hours?" Jack called.
"At least sir." Major Gundell called back.
"Carter, I need to talk to you." Jack came down the ladder.
"Yes sir."
"Major, is there somewhere I can talk to Carter in private?"
"There's an office over there sir." He pointed across the hangar.
"Carter." Jack prompted.
"Yes sir. Teal'c maybe you could explain some more of the intrigues of death gliders to Major Gundell."
"Indeed Major Carter."
