"So how did Jack meeting your brother and his family go?" Janet asked as
she and Sam sat on beds in the infirmary drinking coffee on Monday morning.
"Mark was hostile at first, but I think Dad said something to him, because now he's at least trying to be nice to Jack."
"That's good thought right?" Janet asked.
"Yeah. Hannah and Matthew love him. I don't know what happened when he picked them up at the airport but by the time I got there they were curled up beside him watching the Simpson's." Janet smiled.
"Major Carter to General Hammond's office. Major Carter to General Hammond's office." The tannoy system rang out.
"No rest for the Major." Sam hopped of the bed. "I'll see you later."
"Bye Sam."

"You wanted to see me sir." Sam said as she entered Hammond's office.
"Yes. Lieutenant Commander Myles Hartman I'd like you to meet Major Samantha Carter, our head scientist, Stargate expert and member of SG-1."
"It's nice to meet you Major."
"You too Commander." Sam turned to look at General Hammond. "The Navy sir?" She questioned recognising the man was dressed in Navy winter dress blues.
"Commander Hartman is the Navy's missile expert. He's here to help with the Naqquadah bombs and the UAV missiles."
"Yes sir. General we're not considering deploying the Naqquadah warheads for use on Earth are we? The result would be catastrophic."
"No they are still for non-Earth use."
"Yes sir." Sam replied.
"I'd like you to show Commander Hartman around and explain what goes on here. He's been assigned to us for the next month."
"Yes sir. How high is his clearance?" Sam asked.
"Level 3. Same as the other scientists need to know. You can reveal any details you think are pertinent. Just don't show him how to hardwire the Stargate or its controls."
"Sir the circuitry is very specific and complicated. I'm the only one who understands it one hundred percent because I designed it."
"I know Major. That will be all."
"Yes sir."
"Aye aye sir." The Commander stood to attention and saluted.
"Sam, explain to him that this is the Air Force and not the Navy." Hammond chuckled.
"Yes sir. Come with me Commander." Sam led him out the office. "We have informal formality here. Otherwise we'd get nothing done. Keep it respectful and forget the aye aye's and we'll be fine."
"Okay Major." He said stopping to look at the gate.
"You can call me Sam."
"Myles. So that's the Stargate."
"Yes. I'll show you the gate and the control room later as we have a team due back in the next half an hour. I'll introduce you to the SF's in the corridors that way if you do get lost they'll know it's okay to tell you where to go."
"Thanks." They walked out of briefing room as Jack came round the corner.
"Sam." He called.
"Yes sir?" She stopped and turned to look at him. Jack eyed up Myles.
"Did we find a planet with a gate in the middle of an ocean so we need the Navy to lend us a boat?" He asked.
"No sir." She said with a smile. "Colonel Jack O'Neill, I'd like you to meet Lieutenant Commander Myles Hartman. He's the Navy's missile expert he's here to help out with the Naqquadah bomb. He'll be here for a month. Colonel O'Neill is my CO and the leader of SG-1. "
"It's nice to meet you sir." Myles said.
"You too. Sam, you left these on my desk when you were fixing my computer this morning." He handed her her engagement ring and wedding band.
"Thank you." She slipped them back on her finger. "I'd forgotten I'd taken them off when I was removing your key from the disk drive. You have to stop putting things in there sir."
"Then you'd have to stop coming to fix it and where's the fun in that?" He winked at her. "We still on for lunch?"
"Yes sir. I'll come and find you. By the way did you tell Dad what time your Mom's flight is getting in in case we don't get back in time on Thursday?" Sam asked.
"Yeah. I've got to go bug Daniel."
"Yes sir." Sam smiled as Jack left.
"Sam can I ask you a personal question?" Myles said.
"Sure."
"Do you always flirt with your CO that much?"
"I do when he's my husband."
"Your husband?" Myles repeated. "How did that work out?"
"When we went to our Nellis facility to see the X-301 we had a long wait, Jack asked me to marry him, we drove to Vegas got married and came back and went to work." Sam replied.
"No I meant with the fraternization policy. I take it the Air Force policy is the same as the Navy's about fraternization between CO's and their subordinates."
"The Air Force policy is, the SGC's isn't. The President gave permission three years ago to change the policy due to the nature of what we do here. We supposedly work with Deep Space Radar analysis, so it's difficult to maintain relationships when you constantly have to lie, you work odd hours, you disappear for weeks on end, you get un-explainable injuries it takes it's toll. Despite the change we only found out about seven months ago."
"I see. And you don't have a problem taking orders from him?"
"No. Our team works well because we listen to each other; we know each other's strengths and weaknesses. When he gives orders he's doing it for a good reason, so we don't question it unless absolutely necessary."
"Okay."
