Chapter 8
Andrea and Daniel stand in a Hotel hall way. Daniel knocks on the door of the room they are standing in front of a door. "Are you hungry?" Daniel asks.
Andrea's stomach growls. "Yes if you can believe in the week that I was gone I ate once."
"Janet won't like to hear that." Daniel says smiling when Jack opens the door.
Jack smiles. "The Doc won't like to hear what?"
Andrea laughs. "It's okay. I was in a stases pod that also has some heal affect. I don't think Doctor Fraiser would have a problem with that."
Daniel smiles even brighter. "Hi Jack. No guess she wouldn't."
Jack hugs Andrea. "So am I really happy or am I really mad?"
Daniel loosens his tie. "Oh Jack I think you owe The Ambassador dinner."
"Ambassador?" Jack and Sam say at the same time. Teal'c raises his eyebrow.
"Hey Sam, Catch." Andrea reaches in her pocket and pulls out a Asgard device.
Sam reaches her hands out and catches the Device. "What is this?"
"Yeah what is it?" Jack says going over to look at the device.
"The Key to my ship!" Andrea says sitting down next to Daniel.
Jack looks at Andrea stunned. "Ship?" He grins.
"Ship, but remember It's my ship. I believe Every Asgard Ambassador should have one!" Andréa says hugging Jack.
Jack shakes his head. "Say that again?"
"Every Asgard Ambassador should have ship. Preferable an Asgard ship, like mine." Andrea grins with excitement.
"When do we get to see your ship Andi?" Sam says moving toward Andrea.
"After the Colonel takes us to dinner, on him of course. I'm sure he'll want to know what happen today." Andrea laughs.
"Oh you betcha!" Jack reaches to pull Andrea Up and Hugs her again.
"Jack!" Daniel says firmly.
"Oh give me a break Daniel. She just made me VERY HAPPY!" Jack hugs Andrea tightly then sets her down.
"So let's get moving." Jack says opening the door to the hotel room again.
Sam sits down next to Teal'c and Andrea. "So what are you going to order?" Sam asks watching Teal'c face as he read the menu.
Teal'c looks at Sam and raises his eyebrow. "I do not know."
Andrea stares at Daniel. "I already know what I want. In the past seven days I had one MRE. I want the biggest steak on the menu."
Daniel glances over at Andrea. "What?" Daniel looks for something on his suit, shirt and tie. "Do I have something on me?"
Sam laughs and Jack shakes his head. "Ah!"
"No, Daniel nothing is on you. I just, oh never mind." Andrea says hiding behind her menu.
"So what happened at the meeting?" Jack says casually.
Daniel puts down his menu. "Well they all threaten to walk out. So I got up and spoke. The conversation became completely focused on Andrea, until she arrived. And to everyone's surprise the Supreme Commander named her Ambassador."
"Really..." Jack thinks for a moment. "My buddy did that?"
Andrea shakes her head. "It was the High Council decision. They can't spare people every time we need them."
Teal'c raises eyebrow and closes his menu. "I have decided."
"That's good T." Jack closes his menu.
"Sam, you thing that little Project Andrea discussed with you in the car will work." Daniel asks taking a sip from the glass in front of him.
Sam shakes her head. "Won't be a problem."
"Speaking of Projects. Can you install a CD changer in my new vehicle?" Andrea picks up her water glass.
Jack laughs. "A little bored out in the boonies with no Radio?"
Andrea kicks Jack under the table. "Yes!"
Sam laughs. "I don't think it will be a problem."
"Great. Here comes the Waitress." Andrea says motion to Jack.
Janet waits outside General Hammond's office patiently. The door was open so she could hear General Hammond's tone. "I'm just not sure I like the idea of turning over partial control to you Ambassador."
Janet watches Andrea shake her head. "General Hammond I understand. Believe it or not you need me. Look you should have retired by now and haven't. It least if I have some authority that you can question. You'll have more time with your family. I'm not going to push the issue at this point. I don't have the will to fight you." Andrea stands up from the chair she was sitting in.
"That's it. Does Colonel O'Neill know about this?" Hammond says still sitting.
Andrea laughs. "No, this is the first I'm hearing about it myself. I'm too chicken to say anything to him about it, later. Look, I don't want your job. Asking this is going too far. You want my advice ask. If I think you need to know something I'll speak other than that you treat me like you always do."
Hammond shakes his head, glancing over he notices her standing near the door. "You might as well come in Dr. Fraiser. This is ridiculous."
Janet walks in the room. "Is this a bad time?"
Andrea smiles. Hammond shakes his head again. "I'm not sure. What is you need Dr. Fraiser?"
Janet stands with her hands at her sides. "I need to examine Dr. Jackson again. The sooner the better."
Hammond stands up. "Right, sorry I got caught up in this. Can you fix it Ambassador?"
"I can try. But I cannot see the other governments relenting. I'm creative though. I'll just say I've handed control back to you and Colonel O'Neill. My excuse is that I'm too busy, which is true." Andrea clinches the back of the chair she was sitting in.
Hammond laughs. "Very creative. I'll call the pentagon and tell them I've spoken to you. You can have the Ambassador now Doctor."
Janet looks at them both with interest. "Thank you. I can return her later if you like?"
Andrea mutters to herself. Hammond shakes his head. "I'm done thanks."
Andrea sticks out her arm allowing Dr. Fraiser to leave first. "After you."
Janet leaves the office and waits for Andrea. "Ambassador? Boy sounds like there is trouble with that."
Andrea shakes her head. "Unfortunately yes. The Asgard High Council, elected to have me speak for them. We informed the other nations that have been given information on the Stargate Program."
"Ah, politics." Janet walks before Andrea down a circular stair case.
Andrea follows shaking her head. "Yeah, the other nations voted and they want me in control at the SGC. I don't think former goa'uld stuck in there heads. Kinsey, who wasn't at the meeting got wind of it, is raising hell. He is demanding that I be held for information. The French Ambassador got wind of this and went to his office. He told Kinsey to shut his mouth, in French along with several French explicatives."
Janet laughs. "Boy would I have loved to be a fly on the wall for that."
"Well, there was a bug in the room. I'm sure a tape can be bought for a minimal fee. Nice birthday gift for Colonel O'Neill." Andrea grins.
"I'm in; do you know where I can get a copy?" Janet asks walking with Andrea down the hall.
"I'm sure Alex Fletcher knows. So why do I need to be examined? You told me before I left that I was in perfect health." Andrea fiddles with the Asgard device in her pocket.
Janet looks at Andrea showing a bit of concern. "Neither you nor Daniel told me before you left that you were having problems sleeping. Never in my life have I seen Daniel act like he did."
Andrea grits her teeth. "I'm sorry. Colonel O'Neill must have been mad."
"More like concerned. Seems you have won his favor quickly. Daniel looked like hell." Janet says stepping into the infirmary.
"It's my fault. Thor told me something had happened. I had to take care of it. I wasn't acting like myself." Andrea says avoid the subject of her health.
"So what did you do while you were away?" Janet goes to a cabinet to get supplies to draw blood.
"Oh, slept in a healing pod. Chewed out a representative of a world we are trying to add to the Protected Planets Treaty."
"Have a seat up there would you." Janet points to the gurney. "Healing pod?"
"Yes, the Asgard made me a ship. Very nice. Colonel O'Neill is both Happy with me and Mad because he hasn't seen it yet." Andrea bits her tongue while the Doctor puts the needle in her arm. "Healing pod is a lot like stases, with the bonus of healing the person inside."
"Where can I get one?" Janet says hooking up another tube."
Andrea winces. "You don't want one. You'll be out of Job. I happened to like you when you're not torturing me. However you're welcome to see it, possible borrow it on occasion." Andrea wavers a bit.
"You better lay back." Janet says placing a bandied on Andrea's arm knowing it will come off soon.
Andrea lays back. "Side affects. I started having morning sickness."
"Now that is interesting. You went into a healing pod and came out with morning sickness. I guess that means morning sickness is a natural process in a pregnancy."
"An annoying one." Andrea mutters
"Ah, well. About you not sleeping. I'd like you to see Dr. Mackenzie." Janet says poking Andrea in the abdomen. "Any pain?"
"No, but then I'm hungry. All I can think about is food." Andrea says sitting up.
"That's normal. So will you speak to Dr. Mackenzie?"
"Yes, actually it's not a bad idea." Andrea stomach rumbles
"Ah visible signs of hunger." Andrea laughs at Janet. "That's good Daniel seem to think you would be apposed to the idea."
Andrea shakes her head. "Nobody likes shrinks. I'm okay with it. I need to talk to someone about all the junk in my head.
"Sounds like a good idea. Now, when the tests come back you can go, if everything checks out of course." Janet says grabbing the blood samples.
"Alright, while I wait can I have something to eat?" Andrea asks pleadingly.
"Yeah I think that can be arranged." Janet laughs and walks off.
Jack taps Teal'c camera. "This is fruitless; there is nothing here why are we doing this?"
Sam shakes her head turning on the satellite link up. "Sir, if you remember right we're looking for a power source."
"Oh right. Daniel if you'd look around, there is no way anything is here." Jack says over his radio.
Daniel shakes his head and speaks into his radio. "We don't know that Jack." Daniel looks down at Sam who is messing with the equipment. "Guess Andrea knows more about what we're looking for than I do."
Major Carter looks up. "They should be receiving the signal now Daniel. If you want to try it."
Daniel holds his radio. "Come in home base. This is Dr. Jackson. Do you read?"
"You forgot over Daniel" Jack says and Teal'c raises an eyebrow.
"This is home base. We copy. No formalities please you'll confuse me." Andrea says turning on her screen. "Good Morning Sam, you look lovely."
Sam grabs her radio. "Thanks I think. Is everyone there?"
Andrea turns her microphone on auto. "Yes, if you set the radio's on auto it makes it easier."
Jack shakes his head at Teal'c. "Good morning Ambassador."
Teal'c looks stoic. "Is Jonas Quinn with you?"
Jonas takes the Microphone. "Here, Rya'c is fine Teal'c."
"Thank you Jonas Quinn." Teal'c says moving out of O'Neill's way.
Andrea takes the mike back. "Dr. Fraiser says I'm more than fine, by the way."
Sam laughs. "So what are we looking for?"
"Anything that looks like an entrance." Daniel walks ahead of Sam.
Andrea looks at Jonas then shakes her head. "Daniel where are you going, go left."
"Why, I'm sure it would be this way." Daniel continues walking.
"Because I'm sure it's not."
"Oh boy." Jack says turning to look at Teal'c
"Daniel you're suppose to be me go left toward the center of where the Cella would be." Andrea says holding a diagram.
"It's not going to be there." Daniel replies.
"Fine. Sam walk ten paces and stop." Andréa says.
"Alright, what exactly am I looking for?" Sam asks.
"Anything, try to see if you can sense Naquidah. You too Teal'c." Andrea rubs the back of her neck.
"There is nothing here! This is a major waste of time." Jack says walking to the left.
"Not necessarily Colonel." Jonas says into the mike.
"Alright, I am sensing a faint trace of Naquidah. Nothing big." Sam leans down and looks at the mud.
"Carter you're in the mud" O'Neill says walking toward her.
"Did you get permission for us to dig?" Daniel asks walking toward Sam.
"Yes." Andrea says watching Sam's video feed.
"It's not here." Sam says looking up at O'Neill
"What do you mean Major Carter?" Jonas asks.
"Yes, Carter what do you mean it's not here?" Jack looks down at Sam annoyed.
"She moved it." Sam looks at Daniel.
"Jolinar's memory?" Daniel asks leaning down next to her.
"Yes, but the key is here." Sam starts digging with her hands.
"Key, nobody said anything about this." Jack looks at Teal'c
Daniel begins digging as well. "Yes, I've got something."
"That would be the key." Andrea says leaning back.
"Okay, dig it up folks. Hey what do we do next?" Jack asks looking around.
"Pack up. Go back to the hotel, check out go back to the room and I'll get you." Andrea says watching Daniel and Sam's cameras.
"Does that mean I get to see the Ship?" Jack asks impatiently.
Andrea just shakes her head and Jonas answers. "Yes, she's shaking her head Colonel."
Andrea leans back in the pilot chair, opening on eye on occasion to look at Jonas. Jonas walks around the bridge touch several controls. "This is so cool." Jonas says sitting down at Navigation.
Andrea closes her eyes again. "Yes, can you tell me where Kawalsky, Grogan and Hailey are? Doctor Frasier hasn't left where I put her."
Jonas shakes his head. "What do I do?"
"The red thing, turn it to the left." Andrea looking half asleep answers.
Jonas moves the red thing to the left. An image pops up on the view screen. "Um, is that the cargo hold?"
"Yes." A noise in a low tone goes off. Andrea sits forward. "There done." Andrea presses three controls.
Jack, Sam, Daniel, and Teal'c appear wearing civilian cloths. Jack notices Jonas in the navigation chair. "Aw man Andrea!!!! I wanted to see the ship first!"
Andrea shakes her head. "Get over it. Jonas would you get up, so Major Carter can sit down." Andrea stands up. "Jack you can sit here."
O'Neill grins really big. "Sweet, the pilot seat." Jack sits down
"Teal'c that chair right there is for defenses. And that Daniel is a data base of Protected Plants." Andrea says stepping out of the way." Andrea points to the Right and then the left.
"Nice." Jacks say touching a control.
Sam turns around and looks at Andrea. "Where is our gear?"
Andrea smiles. "The Cargo Hold."
Teal'c turns and Looks at Andrea. "This weapons system is most efficient. It will serve a purpose in protecting Earth."
Jack turns around. "Now that is what I like to hear." Jack speaks pointing to Teal'c.
Something clicks. "Andrea I think I'm lost." Janet voice says in a wondering fashion.
Jack stand up. "Even Dr. Fraiser. Oh, if I wasn't so happy I'd .." Jack says to Andrea.
Andrea shakes her head and steps out into the hall. Daniel Stands up. "Ah where is she going?"
Jonas grins. "She's going to get Dr. Fraiser." Jonas points to the screen. "See."
Sam looks at Jack. "Sir. This is smaller than any Asgard ship I've been on."
Jack shakes his head. "So, it's a ship. Even better than that it's an Asgard ship. I'm not complaining Carter."
Janet walks in. "You better not complain, Next time you get shot your coming straight up here."
Teal'c and Daniel both raise an eyebrow. Sam grins. "Hi Janet, I take it you saw the Asgard medical technology."
Janet shakes her head. "I did. I still think I need one of those pods. Andrea insists it would put me out of a job."
Daniel turns on the Screen in front of him. The screen flashes. Daniel makes a frustrated sound.
Jack looks at him. "Something wrong?"
Daniel turns around. "I can't access anything. Funny thing is it's writing in goa'uld."
Sam gets up and walks over to where Daniel is sitting. "Here, try this." Sam presses a few buttons. "English, now that's funny. It says you don't have access to this information."
Jonas walks over and looks at the computer, pressing certain device. "I don't understand why it won't access. Andrea said the ship was design for SG-1 to use in emergencies."
Andrea walks back in. "I sent your gear back to base, and pick up some supplies." Andrea looks over. "Is something wrong?"
"Daniel can't get into the data base." Jack says.
Janet frowns at Andrea's expression. "Major Kawalsky?"
"Back at the SGC." Andrea walks over to the computer. Andrea presses a few controls then steps away. "There you should be able to get in now."
Teal'c gets up and walks over to Andrea. "Are you well?" Daniel bounds out of his chair and rushes over.
Janet immediately looks at Andrea. "You look ready to pass out. Colonel get up." Jack stands up. Daniel supports Andi and helps her sit down.
Daniel looks at Andrea then Dr. Fraiser. "I though you said she was fine."
Janet shakes her head. "Daniel, she is, or will be when she rests. She has been going all day."
Sam laughs. "Not quite use to morning sickness yet?"
"No, you know I came out of the healing pod and well we won't go there." Andrea blushes with embarrassment.
Janet shakes her head. "I ordered rest. You are just like the Colonel when it comes to my orders."
"Ouch." Jack says leaning against the wall. "What are you doing Jonas?"
Jonas turns around brushing a control. "Reading the list of planets. It looks like the Ambassador is over seeing some Planets that are trying to be added to the Protected Planets Treaty."
"Really!" Daniel says looking at Andrea. Jonas turns back around.
Andrea nods her head. "Yeah." Jonas scans the screen for a moment, in shock. Jonas shoots out of his chair and storms of the room. Andrea covers her face.
"Hey, what's that about?" Jack asks. Teal'c leaves the room following Jonas.
Sam goes over to the computer and sits down and reads the screen. "Oh God, This why you left? This was the problem that was and emergency wasn't it?"
Daniel gets up and goes over to the screen. "You've been keeping this from all of us? Andrea why did you do it?" Daniel's face turns red. Janet looks at Andrea.
"Because I care about Jonas that's why. I can fix the problem. I hope." Andrea says.
Jack looks at everyone confused. "Someone want to tell what is going on?"
"Sure Jack, it seems as if my wife has been going to Kelowna. She never found another planet where Naquidra was used she'd been to Kelowna." Daniel says looking very angry.
Jack shakes his head. Janet looks a little upset too. "It's true. I've been going since a few weeks after I found Daniel. I spoke with Thor. I understand why you're angry. I did it for Jonas." Andrea stands up. "I did it because if you hadn't Ascended Daniel you would have done it too!" Andrea leaves.
"Alright, that was enlightening!" Jack says watching Daniel.
"Jack, shut up." Daniel says sitting down.
O'Neill Shrugs. "Carter do you know how to get us home. I think it would be better if we took the tour later."
Janet shakes her head. "I don't think it's a good idea to leave her alone."
"I can't deal with this now. I just get me home Sam." Daniel says.
Sam looks at O'Neill. "I can sir."
"Good why don't we do that? Doc you gonna stay, you won't know how to get back?"
"I'm going. What about Jonas and Teal'c?" Janet says looking around.
Sam turns around. "I have a lock on them. Sir, I don't think Andrea is on this ship."
Jack looks at Sam. "She left us here? Oh well, As much as I'd like to get a really good look up here, we need to report in with Hammond."
"Is that a go for leaving?" Sam asks.
"Yes." Jack says. Sam presses a button and they disappear.
General Hammond knocks on Colonel O'Neill's open office door. Jack turns and looks up. "What can I do you for General?"
General Hammond steps in and closes the door. "No word from Ambassador Jackson?"
O'Neill shakes his head. "Nope, Daniel won't talk about it. Carter is a little upset, but she seems to be getting over it. Why don't you sit down sir?"
General Hammond sits down. "Major Kawalsky has twice come to my office asking if I've seen her. But that's not the problem. Major Davis has called four times from Washington asking to speak to her in the last day and half. He's on a flight here now, with the British Ambassador."
Jack face palms. "She needs to be found." General Hammond nods his head. "I take it there is another problem?"
General Hammond looks O'Neill in the face. "Colonel Chekov is here and asking to see her now."
Jack looks at the General. "Now, where is he?"
General Hammond looks worried. "With Major Carter, but that won't work much longer."
O'Neill rubs his neck. "Alright, let me find Daniel. He needs to speak with her. I'll get him to at least talk to her. We can contact the ship from the Control room." Jack says standing up.
Hammond shakes his head. "At least get them to call a truce please."
Jack shakes his head. "I don't think that's necessary Daniel's not angry anymore. I think unlike Carter or myself. Jonas is upset because, several of his good friends died. He spoke with Dr. Kieran. He wants to speak with Andrea about what's going on but won't say anything about it."
Hammond stands up. "You better get over it quick. They want Andrea in Charge here."
O'Neill stands up. "What? Who?"
Hammond opens the door. "The Ambassador's and Colonel Chekov, that's why they are coming here."
Jack shakes his head. "This doesn't sound good."
Hammond agrees. "No, and YOU MUST FIX IT COLONEL." Hammond leaves.
Jack puts his head between his knees. "I'm in so much trouble."
Andrea wakes to a buzzing. Slowly getting up, she sits down in the pilot seat. Andrea presses on of the controls. "Come in Stargate Command I read you." Andrea mumbles.
Daniel turns on the microphone in the control room. "Andrea are you alright?"
Andrea groans move to the left. "I'm fine. I'm sorry. I acted like a child."
Daniel looks at Jack. "Andi I'm sorry you were right. I'm just upset you lied."
"I know." Andrea says softly. "I'm sorry it was necessary."
Daniel takes a deep breath. "Do you think you could come back? You have visitors who want to speak with you."
Andrea takes a deep breath. "Yes, give me an hour please. I'm not fairing too good with the morning sickness." Andrea hears fuzz.
Jack looks at Daniel. "You better go up there and check on her. If something is wrong General Hammond will have my head."
Daniel shakes his head then speaks into the microphone. "Andi let me come up there."
"Alright, give me a second." Andrea reaches over to press a button but can't reach it. Andi stand up hits the button and falls back into the seat.
Daniel appears. Daniel moves around kneels next to Andréa. "Andrea?" He asks softly.
Andrea turns her head toward Daniel. Her eyes black, her skin pale, Andrea looks like she hasn't slept. "Oh Daniel, I love you so much." Andrea turns the chair around, and leans forward.
Daniel embraces his wife and holds her tightly. "I love you Andrea." Daniel holds her for a moment. "Is there some place where you can clean up? If General Hammond or Colonel Chekov sees you like this Jack will be in trouble, frankly so will I."
"Yes, there is." Andrea speaks softly still. Daniel stands up.
"Alright, want to show me where?" Daniel says backing up a bit so Andrea can stand.
"Sure." Andrea pushes herself breathing deeply. Andrea takes a step toward Daniel, faints.
"Andrea!" Daniel cries out catching her, then sweeping her up in his arms. Daniel curses. "Okay now what do I do?" Daniel looks up, noticing the doors are open he walks out of the bridge and down the hall. "Andi, you've got to wake up, at least for a second I don't know where I'm going or what I'm doing."
"Medical chamber is to the right." A voice similar to Thor's says.
Daniel looks up to see the ceiling. "Okay now that qualifies as strange." Daniel goes toward the right and some door open revealing a room with a control station, some slabs that look like operating tables. Several open pods line a wall to the right. Daniel walks in and lays Andrea down gently on a slab. "Alright, now what?"
"Daniel what the hell is going on? That damned ship just sent a message that was automated saying that an unqualified pilot was aboard and required assistance? Carter is gone; looks like the ship took her." Jack's worried voice says over a speaker.
Daniel leans over Andrea. "That's not important now Jack. Andrea passed out, she doesn't look good either." Daniel touches Andrea face with his left hand and holds her left hand in his right.
Sam comes running into the room. "What happened? I was in my lab talking to Siler then here." Sam sees Andi and walks over.
"She passed out. Sam how did you get here?" Daniel looks worried
"Auto pilot. Andrea said the ship was to recognize me as the secondary user." Sam steps over to the control station. "Daniel step back for a minute." Sam moves some controls, a strange light scans Andrea. "Cool."
Daniel looks over at Sam. "No, what was it?"
"It scanned her and its processing the data. Some of this I understand." Sam says stepping to side.
Daniel looks at the screen. "Alright, these are her blood levels, no internal injures. That flashing is her Naquidah. So are her protein levels." Daniel puts his hand on a control and something appears on a pad. "Okay, see this is weird. Besides the fact that this is in goa'uld."
"Not that anyone cares but I can here what's going on up there. Dr. Fraiser is demanding someone get her up there." O'Neill's voice says over a speaker again.
Sam moves some devices on the control and Dr. Fraiser and Colonel O'Neill appear. "Sorry about that."
Janet walks over to Andrea and listens to her heart, then checks her pupils. "I don't like this. She is just like you." Janet points to Colonel O'Neill.
"Janet come take a look at this." Sam moves a control and the language on the screen changes to English.
"Alright." Janet walks over to the screen. "She needs to eat among other things. If I get her back in my infirmary I'll have more control. From what she told me and I see here there is nothing here that can heal her."
"Doc you're kidding right? All this advanced technology, and you can help her? See I find that hard to believe."
Janet shakes her head. "She needs simple rest and food. And she's going to get it. Even if I have to tie her down." Janet eyes O'Neill.
Jack stares back at the doctor. "Alright, I get it. Carter can you get us back to the SGC preferably in the infirmary?"
Sam shakes her head. "I'm new it at this. Daniel you might want to hold Andrea."
"Alright." Daniel says walking over and picking Andrea up.
"Here we go." Sam says, and then they all disappear.
Jack walks into Daniel's lab. Daniel sits under a lamp studying the artifact from Ephesus. Jonas sits at a computer typing. Jack clears his throat. "Hi guys." Jack says politely.
"Hi Jack" Daniel says staring at the artifact then writing something down.
"Hi Colonel, can we help you?" Jonas says turning around in his seat.
Jack walks farther into the room. "Yeah, could you give me a minute with Daniel?"
Jonas nods. "Sure, I'll go check on Major Carter." Jonas leaves.
Jack pulls up a chair and sits next to Daniel. "Can you put that down for a moment?" Jack says staring at Daniel's face.
Daniel puts down the relic and looks at Jack. "What is it?"
Jack takes a deep breath. "It's been suggested that we all need a vacation. A real vacation."
Daniel laughs. "Really by who?"
"Dr. Fraiser is giving orders now. She believes that if we slow down. It might give you time to make Andi slow down." Jack looks over at the object.
"Okay and Andrea agreed to this?" Daniel asks picking up the object and holding out to Jack.
Jack takes the object and studies it. "Well, it got me thinking."
"You can think?"
"Not funny Daniel." Jack flips the object over.
"Right well you were saying."
Jack puts the object down. "Yes, well I was thinking we could go visit Catherine let her see Andrea. Invite her for a visit."
Daniel stands up quickly. "Oh God, Catherine doesn't know I'm alive."
"Hey, take it easy buddy. We can fix that." Jack says grinning.
Daniel sits. "I guess I should go see her."
"We all should. It's been awhile for me too." Jack says standing up.
"Where are you going?" Daniel asks.
"I'm gonna talk to Hammond, then check in on the Ambassador. Then I'm going home to call Catherine." Jack walks to the door. "I'll make plans don't worry."
Daniel smiles. "Thanks Jack."
General Hammond and Colonel O'Neill walk into the Infirmary. Three men sit next to a hospital bed. Major Davis sits on the left side of the bed next to a man in a nicely tailored suit. Colonel Chekov sits on the right by himself. Andrea is sitting up in the bed looking slightly annoyed. Jack eyes a slightly angry Doctor reading a notebook. "A General Hammond, Colonel O'Neill so nice of you to join us." The British Ambassador stands up as well as Major Davis.
Colonel Chekov stands up as well. "Yes please join us. The Asgard Ambassador was telling us about her plans for the next year. It seems she thinks she is going to be running around the universe doing what you do Colonel O'Neill."
Andrea shakes her head. "That's not what I said. I said I would be doing my job. Which is my responsibility as the Asgard Ambassador to speak on behalf of the Asgard. That may mean I have to go off world."
Major Davis shakes his head. "I've tried to explain to these Gentlemen that the Ambassador works for the Asgard. Not the United States."
The British Ambassador shakes his head. "She said she would still be working at the SGC when not doing her Ambassadorial duties."
General Hammond steps in. "Gentlemen, the Ambassador and I have spoken and she believes that she is not able to run the SGC. She believes that the set command structure in place is working fine."
Jack nods his head. "With all do respect. I agree. Thor would not be happy if his Ambassador was over worked. She has many responsibilities as I found out yesterday. It would be almost impossible for her to be available to run the SGC."
Andrea grins at Jack. "Colonel O'Neill is correct Gentlemen. I have treaties, people to check on, and goa'uld to irritate. If you want me to over see something, let me know what digs your people are doing. Send me information to evaluate as relevant to the Stargate program."
"I agree the Pentagon is willing to work with the Ambassador on anything she finds relevant to the Stargate program. Gentlemen we have a valuable asset we don't need to lose!" Major Davis smiles at Andrea.
General Hammond smiles even bigger. "Gentlemen the Ambassador, has been through a lot the past too months. We should let her rest so she can come back to work soon."
"I believe Dr. Jackson is working in his lab. This is the perfect opportunity for him to explain the progress we made this week in finding, the power source to fight Anubis." Jack says.
"Gentlemen if we follow General Hammond, he will lead us to Dr. Jackson office." Major Davis walks toward General Hammond.
"This way." General Hammond leads them out of the infirmary.
Andrea looks at Jack. "Thanks, I never thought they would leave."
Jack grins. "No problem. Doc you might want to join us." Colonel O'Neill sits down.
Dr. Fraiser stands up. "Thank goodness. Another ten minutes and I was going to kick them out." Janet sits down in an empty chair.
"They were getting on my nerves. I've met goa'uld more interesting." Andrea lays back.
Janet and Jack both laugh. "Alright, I talk to Daniel. He's sold on the vacation idea, Doc."
"That's great, the sooner the better." Janet pats Andrea's hand. "Don't get too excited. You're not going anywhere until you go on your trip."
"So anyway, I'm going to go home and make arrangements. You need to get better so you can fly." Jack says leaning back.
"Please tell me you're not taking us fishing. I'll go nuts. I love to fish, but not for a whole week. I like to do other things. Like shop." Andrea says pleading with the Colonel.
Jack frowns. "No not this time. We're going to visit Catherine." Jack stands up.
Andrea looks surprised. "Really? That's wonderful."
"Yes it is." Jack steps back. "Look get some rest and listen to the Doc."
"Why you don't" Andrea retorts. Jack grunts then leaves.
Sam leans over an open watch, in her lab. Andrea sits in a chair watching, as well as Dr. Fraiser. Very carefully she removes parts. "This is an interesting idea." Sam places the piece on a cloth.
Andrea fidgets on her stool. "Thanks, I hope it works. I couldn't carry that device around for the rest of my life. Someone might steal it then we would be in big trouble."
Sam shakes her head putting a small chip in the watch. "I agree. This is much easier and gives us all access to the ship in an emergency."
Dr. Fraiser stands up and leans over. "How do you intend to test it? I mean, the ship sending a signal when another ship is in proximity?"
Sam looks up. "I guess I'll have Dad pay a visit. Andrea has said Thor won't be back for a while so. The Perfect opportunity for me to see Dad and check out the ship's systems."
Andrea laughs. "I can't wait. Is Colonel O'Neill still bugging you to take him up there and fly it?"
"Yes, he asks me three times a day." Sam laughs.
Janet shakes her head. "He comes into the Infirmary, at least five times a day begging to let Andrea take him up there, just for an hour."
Sam shakes her head. "He wants to fly it badly. In fact so do I." Sam looks up at Janet and Andrea.
Andrea smiles at Sam. "Patience is a virtue." Andrea says looking at Janet.
