"Enter." Hammond yelled when Jack knocked on his office door.
"General, do you have a minute or ten?"
"Come in Colonel. Did you enjoy the rest of your honeymoon?" Hammond inquired.
"Yes sir. Sam and I brought you back a gift." He placed the box on the table. "It's from Minnesota rather than Hawaii, but the thought was the same."
"Thank you Colonel. What's that?" He asked noticing the Asguard device Thor had beamed in.
"A gift for Sam, Thor just dropped by a few minutes ago for giving him another 'dumb idea'."
"Thor dropped it by?" Hammond questioned.
"Beamed it right onto Daniel's desk with a note say if she came up with any more dumb ideas or we ever needed anything to give him a call."
"If he left it for Major Carter why do you have it?" Hammond wondered out loud.
"Because she left it on Daniel's desk when she went back to her lab. I thought you'd like to put it somewhere safe like your safe."
"And what exactly was this idea being the first I've heard of it?"
"I don't know sir. I only found when we read the note thanking her for it." Jack explained.
"Leave it with me I'll put it in the safe and then ask your wife to come and see me."
"Yes sir."

"Sam." Jack said as he strolled into her lab.
"One minute sir." A disembodied voice replied. Jack glanced around and peered over the desk but couldn't see her. "Did you need something sir?" She asked. Jack looked up to see her stood in the other doorway to her office.
"Where were you?" He asked.
"Next door signing off on something. Was there something you needed?"
"Hammond wants to see you."
"Did he say what about?" She asked.
"Dumb ideas."
"Ah, you told him about Thor's little gift. What did you do with that by the way?"
"I gave it to Hammond to lock in his safe."
"Good. Did he say when he wanted to see me?"
"Anytime now will do."
"Okay. Since you don't seem to be busy sir, you can check this for me." She handed him a folder.
"What is it?"
"Star charts and such. I'm sure you'll be fine." She winked at him.

".So that's basically it sir." Sam said as she finished explaining to General Hammond the dumb idea she had given Thor.
"I see Major. Next time you're going to give the Asguard ideas run them by me first."
"Yes sir."
"Good. Now thank you for the gift."
"I wanted to get you something else sir, but Jack insisted."
"It's a very nice 'I Believe in Aliens' mug."
"Yes sir." Sam smiled. "Sir, with your permission I'll get back to work."
"Carry on Major."
