Chapter 1: The Briefing
Col. Jack O'Neill, Maj. Samantha Carter, Daniel Jackson, and Teal'c waited in the briefing room, but General Hammond wasn't there. The briefing was supposed to start at 0900. Half an hour had already gone by.
"What could be keeping the General? We're supposed to leave in 30 minutes and briefings are always long," Jack commented.
"I wouldn't know, maybe he's in the middle of an important phone call?" said Daniel.
"Geez Daniel, you would think General Hammond would have let us know if he postponed the briefing," Jack said - oozing with sarcasm.
"How come I feel this mission may not turn out well?" Sam said quietly.
"Indeed," Teal'c piped in, "This delay is making me feel quite uncomfortable."
"Why do you two have a problem with this mission? It's your standard meet, greet, and hope for an alliance type," Jack mentioned.
"Sir, when have we ever had a mission when something doesn't happen? I mean it. I think Janet has an entire section of the infirmary reserved for us. Four beds, just for us to occupy after most of our missions." Sam quipped.
"Carter, It would an insane idea to keep Janet Frasier bored. People need to be kept busy."
"Yea, and Janet's threatened to not allow us in the infirmary if we keep on coming back from missions in pieces. Of course, she'd probably appreciate it."
"Maybe for you Space Monkey, not me, Carter, or Teal'c. But then again, I think she doesn't mind you. Rumor mill says that you two have a crush on each other," Jack said - smirking at the end.
"I highly resent that!" Daniel said in his own defense - while his face was turning several shades of red.
"Back to the subject. Sir, I don't think we have much room to talk. Janet's threatened all the SG teams at one point or another."
"Thanks for the vote of confidence Major."
Then, General Hammond walked in, with a stern look on his face. SG-1 didn't want to know what was bothering him - or did they?
"SG-1, Instead of going to P4D-393, you will go to P76-943," said Hammond.
"May I ask why, Sir?" Jack asked.
"Within the last month, the Random Dialing Program contacted P76-943. The locals seemed to have advanced technology, a peaceful society, and interesting MALP readings. The President insisted that an SG team visit the planet and see if you can establish diplomatic relations. It might as well be SG-1."
"Thank you, sir. I'm sure we can make a good impression. When do we leave?" asked Jack.
"You leave in one hour. Dismissed."
