"Marianne come and join us." Sam called as she and Janet sat drinking
coffee in the commissary on Monday morning. Marianne sat down. "So how did
it go Saturday night?"
"What happened Saturday night?" Janet asked.
"She had a date." Sam supplied.
"With who?" Janet asked Marianne.
"Colonel Hudson." Marianne supplied.
"Really? Spill girl." Janet encouraged.
"Why exactly do you want to know?" Marianne asked.
"Because I'm a single parent with a teenage daughter and she's an old married woman, we have to live vicariously through others." Janet supplied.
"Less of the old Janet, and because I decapitated your car."
"It was fun. We went out to dinner and talked about everything apart from work. It was good, he drove me home the end."
"That's it?" Sam questioned.
"We're going to go out again when we both get some more downtime. We're going to P7X 816 tomorrow for a week."
"Hey Carter, we have a briefing in thirty minutes." Jack called.
"I know sir. Daniel wants you to glance over his report he left it on your desk." Sam replied.
"And he expects me to find it?" Jack questioned. "Then read it?"
"It's on top of your inbox Colonel and I'll be at the briefing." She smiled at him.
"Good. Doc, Captain." Jack headed out the commissary.
"How do you do that?" Marianne asked.
"Do what?" Sam questioned.
"Switch."
"Ninety-eight percent of the time we're here he's my CO. The two percent I need him to be my husband he is. So we stick with the sirs and the Colonels and the Carters. It's the way our relationship has always worked. We're used to it."
"Still..."
"It works don't argue with it." Janet smiled.
"Now if you'll excuse me I have a briefing and I have to stop by the control room first." Sam stood up. "Any more interesting things happen I want to be the first to hear." She winked at Marianne.

"So we're scrapping our original mission to go and help someone steal back a box that they'd already stolen in the first place?" Jack questioned.
"That sums it up Colonel." Hammond agreed.
"What's in the box anyway?"
"That's on a need to know basis Colonel and you don't need to know."
"It must be of some significance if they stole it in the first place." Daniel remarked.
"Sir, if they managed to steal it in the first place why do they need us to steal it back now?" Sam asked.
"Because it was taken from a Goa'uld who was dying and now it has been stolen by one who is very much alive. It's necessary that we get it back in one piece. I'm afraid that's all that I can tell you. It's dark where you're going on now, suit up and report to the gate room in twenty minutes. Dismissed."
"Okay, that was vague." Jack said. "Anyone know what this box even looks like?"
"No." Daniel replied curiosity setting in. "It's strange he wouldn't tell us more."
"I guess we're just going to have to work it out when we get there. Green camouflage?" Sam asked trying to work out what uniform to wear.
"I suppose. It will do for now. Pack you're black jackets too." Jack instructed. "And bring the camouflage paint too."
