"Hannah, dial the gate." Sam instructed.
"Yes ma'am."
"And I thought I was in charge of this mission." Jack said.
"That was before you were captured and compromised sir." Sam replied. The gate whooshed open.
"Hannah, head back and have General Hammond have a medical team standing by. I'll give them a quick check then send them back."
"Yes ma'am." Hannah stepped through the gate.
"Teal'c how's your vision?" Sam asked.
"It is greatly improved Major Carter." Teal'c replied.
"Go." Sam said. Teal'c nodded and walked up the steps to the gate and through. "Daniel, follow my finger." Daniel followed it. "How's the head?"
"It's a headache, but it's not like it hasn't happened before."
"Go. Next."
Jack was the last one left after she had sent everyone through.
"So you've taken over my mission again?" Jack said.
"Well you were passed out on the floor sir." Sam reminded him. "So follow my finger. You're good." Sam said dropping a kiss on the end of his nose. "Let's go home sir."
"Yes ma'am." They stepped through the gate and back on the ramp.
"Welcome back." Hammond said as the gate closed behind them.
"Thank you sir." Jack replied.
"Colonel, report to the infirmary. Major come with me."
"Yes sir." Sam said following him after handing her gun off to one of the SF's.
"So what happened?" Hammond asked when they reached his office.
"Jenkins and I created a diversion to draw several of the Jaffa who were guarding the tent in which the mining team were being held hostage." Sam paused. "The others went into get them, but Hannah spotted movement from another tent and four more heavily armed Jaffa came out and took the rest of our team hostage. The Jaffa who had come to check out the diversion brought stun grenades with us. So Jenkins and I split up and moved around and threw the grenades then moved out of range while they went off and then went in and tied the Jaffa and woke everyone up. They were all dazed and blinded so we had them hold onto each other and frogmarched them back to the gate. Their vision came back on the way back, so I sent Jenkins back and made them follow my finger before I sent them through."
"Well done Major."
"Yes sir."
"By the way Major, why did you borrow a plane from DC and fly back early? The Secretary of Defence told me that you'd been given a weekend pass and your flight was tomorrow evening."
"General, this may sound a little weird."
"Major, we deal with aliens trying to attack us everyday of the week, nothing can be that weird."
"I had this gut instinct that something bad was happening and that we should be back. So I informed the Colonel and he got us the first way back here."
"That was some pretty good instinct you had there Major." Hammond said.
"Yes sir."
"How about testing your tactical skills?" Hammond asked.
"Sir?"
"I had a request for a team to go up against the best units of the all the branches of the military. Air Force Special Ops, Navy SEALs, Delta Force, Army Rangers, Marine Corps Force Recon."
"What does this have to do with me sir?" Sam asked.
"I'd like you to command the team."
"Sir, isn't Colonel O'Neill better qualified for this. He was with Special Ops for years."
"The Colonel has been requested to help observe the operation. You need to pick a team of six; none of the other team leaders are eligible because I need them here. Your team will act as bate for the exercise, which will last three days. Whichever team manages to capture your whole team will be declared the winners, your objective is to not let them capture you or if you do to get the whole team back."
"Sir are you sure I have the experience for something like this? I mean those are pretty tough units with lots of experience."
"Major, you have gained a great range of tactical experience; you also have a unique talent for seeing the big picture as well as minute issues. Dr Jackson doesn't have the experience for this kind of operation, but you can choice Teal'c as a member of your team if you wish."
"When does this take place sir?"
"The weekend after next on an uninhabited island. You'll get a map of the area and all the information you need on Monday. That is if you're willing to accept the assignment."
"Yes sir." Sam replied.
"Good personnel files will be made available to you, talk to anyone of the team commanders you like. I'll need to know by the end of the week who you want."
"Yes sir."
"Good now go and report to the infirmary, we'll debrief in two hours."
"Yes sir. One question before I go sir."
"Yes Major?" Hammond said.
"Does Colonel O'Neill know about this?"
"No, not yet, I'll discuss it with him after the debriefing. SG-1 will continue to remain on stand down, Doctor Jackson will be going out with SG- 13 for a week on a dig on P9Y 453. This is a good opportunity for you Major, don't waist it."
"Yes sir."
