"Well Colonel I don't know what to say." Janet said as she stood in front
of Jack.
"Just spit it out Doc." Jack said.
"According to your latest blood work you're back to perfect health. No fever, no infection, even the welt has gone."
"So can I please get out of here now?" Jack begged.
"Only if you promise to come back if you feel the slightest bit unwell."
"Scouts honour." Jack said.
"Were you really a boy scout Colonel?"
"How about I swear on Daniel's life?" Jack offered.
"That will do. Now get out of here Colonel." Janet said.
"Yes ma'am."

"Hey Danny." Jack sunk down into the chair on the opposite side of the table.
"Janet let you out I see." Daniel said.
"I'm in perfect health. Although I did have to swear on your life that I'd go back if I got sick."
"She made you swear on my life?" Daniel questioned.
"She wouldn't take scout's honour." Jack shrugged. "So it was either you or Cass?"
"Why am I your friend again?" Daniel asked.
"Because you need someone to watch your six."
"Ah. I knew there was a reason. By the way did you hear about Hannah?" Daniel inquired.
"What about Hannah?"
"She's going back to the Air Force Academy for about a week."
"Why?"
"She's going to be teaching a class. General Kerrigan called her and asked if she could help out. General Hammond agreed, so she packed up her laptop, a couple of books and headed home to pack some clothes. She's going to stay at the Academy for the week." Daniel explained.
"What kind of class?"
"Something to do with her degree whatever that is."
"Space Operations." Jack supplied.
"Sounds like she wanted to be an astronaut too."
"Well that screws up our plans." Jack said.
"What plans?" Daniel inquired.
"Sam and I thought we should give Hannah and Ferretti a subtle push in the right direction."
"Looks like you had bad timing." Daniel pointed out.
"Does Ferretti know about this?"
"He's the one who told me she was going. He was going to head home; Janet has okayed him to go back to active duty first thing tomorrow."
"How did he seem?" Jack asked.
"Quiet."
"Okay. I'll talk to him tomorrow. By the way do you know where Sam is? She wasn't in her lab." Jack replied.
"Where is Sam usually when she isn't in her lab?"
"Control room?" Jack guessed.
"Actually she's hiding in your office trying to do some paperwork." Daniel corrected.
"Why my office?" Jack asked.
"How many people actually go to your office?" Daniel reminded. "It's not like you're there a lot."
"Good point." Jack had to agree with him. "So find out anything interesting from your rocks?"
"Artefacts Jack."
"Whatever." Jack shrugged.
"You really want to know?" Daniel asked.
"Sure why not."
