"Hey Jack." Daniel said, he was in the control room when Jack returned after Sam had left.

"Daniel." Jack replied.

"I heard you got called to security. But since the SF's weren't storming the base it can't have been a problem."

"Just a member of personnel behaving strangely that got the Sgt worried." Jack replied. "All taken care of."

"Who was it?" Daniel asked.

"Who was what?" Jack queried. "The Sgt, Hickory."

"No the member of personnel behaving strangely."

"Oh. Sam."

"Sam was acting strangely?" Daniel questioned.

"She was trying to sneak down to Teal'c's room to Jacob without running into anyone who would keep asking her questions." Jack explained.

"I'll go and see her." Daniel said.

"She left already, after a lecture on the fact that this isn't the kind of place to act strangely because people will presume that some alien entity has taken you over."

"Are you sure it hasn't?"

"No. She's just taking her vacation seriously." Jack replied. "So what are you doing here?"

"Davis was just helping me go over some MALP footage of some ruins." Daniel replied. "I think that it would be worth checking out."

"Davis any other activity or anything that would indicate a Goa'uld presence?" Jack asked.

"No sir."

"Danny, grab SG-4 and Teal'c, briefing at 1600. You can ship out 1700 if you can get everything in place by then."

"You're sending me on a mission?" Daniel questioned.

"You want to check out the ruins. If you do it now it'll save me having to go with you next week and sit around and get bored."

"Thanks Jack."

"You get twenty-four hours. If haven't found anything useful and by useful I mean something that might help us in the fight against the Goa'uld, not learning about some ancient culture I couldn't care less about."

"Jack, you have a minor in history, Sam makes you watch history documentaries, and you know more about ancient cultures than you're willing to admit."

"Don't you have a team to go and find and supplies to pack?" Jack questioned.

"What about baby Jacob?"

"Have Teal'c bring him to Hammond's office. I'll watch him." Jack said.

"So Teal'c make sure he doesn't touch anything he shouldn't." Jack said as he rocked back and forth on his heels, his hands stuffed in his pockets.

"Indeed O'Neill."

"Jack, I'm an adult you know." Daniel protested.

"You also tend to touch things that get us into trouble." Jack countered. "Also try not to get captured and tortured. Doc Fraiser is still busy enough with the earthquake victims."

"Jack, we're going to check out some ruins." Daniel said.

"It's usually the unobtrusive missions which cause the most trouble." Jack replied. "But have fun and remember gifts that don't try to kill us are always appreciated."

"We shall be most cautious O'Neill." Teal'c bowed his head.

"Dial her up Lieutenant." Jack turned and called to Lieutenant Simmons who was at the controls.

"Yes sir."

"Palmer, check in every four hours." Jack instructed the leader of SG-4. "And don't let Danny wander off."

"Sure thing Jack." He replied as the gate sprung into life rotating and locking the co-ordinates. As the kwoosh came.

"SG-4, Daniel, Teal'c, you have a go. Move out." Jack instructed.

To members of SG-4 walked through with the FRED everyone else followed behind, once they were through the gate shut down.

A cry came from the radio they were using as a baby monitor that Jack had left in the control room.

"Colonel, it appears Jacob is awake." Simmons informed him.

"On my way."
