"Off-world activation, Repeat Off-world activation" blares out across the base.
Sam and Jack break apart and walk towards the control room. Daniel quickly coming through the short cut door between the corridor and the briefing room. On his way to the control room, and notices Sam and Jack leaving his office together. 'Wonder what that was about?'
As he walks down the stairs to the control room and barks "Report" to the technician on duty.
"Sir, were not receiving any transmissions"
Sam stands behind the technician with Jack as Daniel position himself at the back of the control room, out of the way but so he can still see and hear what is going on.
"What's going on Sir?"
"Nothing Carter"
"Nothing?"
"We aren't receiving any signals"
"Let me take a look" Sam directs to the technician
The technician stands and Sam sits down and her fingers begin to fly across the keyboard
Jack stands behind her as he watches her sit down, he notices her long slender fingers fly across the keyboard, her tilt her head slowly as she types in command after command. He watches her taking in every detail. His mind drifting back to before, his face so close to hers, the look in her eyes. He had to do or say something soon or else…
"Jack?"
One of these days Daniel I swear "Yes! Daniel?"
"Did you get a chance to read over that report on PR…"
Jack knowing Daniel is about to go on and on about the importance of something he tunes him out, thinking of which standard prompt to reply with. Jack finds his eyes beginning to trail back to Carter. Until he realises he is actually looking her straight in the eye.
Oh crap, she's looking at me, she caught me looking at her, think of something to say. "Report carter?"
Sam tilts her head in confusion, What was that all about? Him looking at me like that? "Well Sir, nothing"
"Nothing?"
"Nothing, sir"
"So… what's going on?"
"Wrong number?"
"Wrong number…well shouldn't the gate have…" Before Jack can finish his sentence the gate powers down.
All heads turn to Jack who is standing there with his mouth open "Ok, back to work people" That always happens.
"I will be in my office"
"Jack didn't you just hear me"
"Yes Daniel very interesting" Jacks casts behind him as he walked up the stairs towards his office.
"What was all that about" Daniel turns to Sam in confusion over Jacks behaviour
"I dunno"
"What were you doing in his office before?"
"Me? What? Nothing? Just fixing his computer why?" Sam rambles off as fast as she can think it.
"No reason" Daniel says softly as he walks back towards his lab.
Sam's thoughts drift back to what happened in her lab earlier, and then finding the General asleep, now this incident in the gate room where he was looking at her.
'I really gotta stop working so hard' Sam thinks to herself as she heads back to her lab.
