"Is Sam okay?" Daniel asked as Jack walked in the room where Jacob was
setting up the Tok'ra equipment.
"Sam's fine. She's in her lab doing whatever she was supposed to do today but couldn't because she spent the day with Major Davis." Jack replied.
"Let me rephrase, how mad is she?"
"She's not mad."
"She's not?" Jacob questioned.
"No. She'd prefer it if we told her first before going off world without her in future, but other than that she's happy we all made it back in one piece for once." Jack picked up something and started fiddling with it.
"I guess talking to Emily worked." Daniel said.
"Indeed it would appear that is the case." Teal'c added.
"Who is Emily?" Jacob asked.
"Sam's friendly shrink." Jack replied.
"Friendly shrink? Isn't that an oxymoron?" Jacob joked.
"She's the shrink for the female recruits at the Academy. Sam talks to her when things get too much and she wants an objective outside opinion on situations." Jack replied.
"I see." Jacob said not really actually understanding.
"It works for Sam and let's just leave it at that for now."
"Okay."
"So is Selmak up for a little lesson in Tok'ra information gathering techniques?" Jack asked.
"If not I'm sure we can steal a pain stick." Daniel joked.
"Or we could zat him three times that way the problem would be dealt with."
"Or send him to one of those nice toxic planets where no one can survive."
"Or enough worse one without a DHD and no civilisation." Jack offered.
"Since getting information the Earth way doesn't work, we'll try the alien way then you can try other methods of extracting information." Jacob interjected.
"Who said we were planning getting information? Besides the list of how to get rid of Kinsey is an awful lot longer. My personal favourite being ..."
"Lock him in a room with the first system lord we can find and we'll deal with whoever survives." Daniel finished for him.
"You spend time plotting ways to kill a US Senator."
"Not just kill, maim, torture, down right humiliate." Jack shrugged. "But never on Earth."
"You lot have way too much time on your hands." Jacob smiled.
"When Daniel decides he needs to see ruins five or six clicks from the gate or Sam needs to find out what the power source the UAV picked up is. It's useful to have something to talk about other than the remarkable history or scientific finds everyone is hoping for."
"Hey!" Daniel said.
"Sorry." Jack shrug. "I did forget to tell you you'd be proud of Matthew and Hannah. They named their pet rat and three goldfish after Norse gods from the book Sam sent them."
"It's was a good book Sam asked me to help her pick out." Daniel smiled. "But you know you should really keep more than one rat, they're pack animals."
"Daniel, Jenny has enough problems with the one they have. If they had two she'd spend her whole time worried that they would repopulate while she wasn't looking." Jacob said.
"So why did she let him have one in the first place if she doesn't like them?" Daniel asked.
"Matthew had to have his appendix out a couple of years ago. They made the mistake of telling him they would buy him something of his choice within reason if he behaved for the doctors while he was in hospital. He chose Thor and Jenny didn't have the heart to say no."
"Maybe we should suggest that to Janet about Jack. Bribery." Daniel joked.
"Maybe we should commence this briefing." Teal'c suggested.
"Good idea Teal'c." Jacob said.
