A/N All I will say is that who says what Jack showed Daniel was Space Monkey's collar?? ;) And as you will see in this chapter Sam's new boys names are Craig Sheffield, Scott Andrews and Nathan Smith. But I AM NOT trying to replace SG 1 or Janet with the Lisa Rose character so please give them a chance. I just feel like being able to write LOTS of sarcasm in this and so creating a group of riff raffs, which I know Sam would take to seemed like the best way.
"Don't give him that." Sam said as she moved around the small kitchenette making coffee. Although there was the large commissary kitchen that made all the meals for the people on the Alpha site, Sam had turned this small vacant office into a mini "rec room" where people could grab coffee or water or something from the small fridge when they wanted without having to go all the way to the commissary. A small bathroom joining it meant a constant supply of water for the kettle and it was big enough for a table with six chairs.
Sam was not looking at Sheffield or Andrews but could tell what they were doing.
"I didn't." Captain Sheffield replied innocently. Once again holding his finger out to Space Monkey.
"Frosting is not part of his diet Craig. " Sam scolded Sheffield, still not looking around. "So stop giving it to him. I won't bring those doughnuts back next time." Sam threatened.
"You wouldn't dare!" Andrews pleaded.
"Keep feeding that to him Scott and I will!" Sam said finally facing them, with nothing but a huge smile on her face.
"Yes Ma'am." They both replied in a tone of mock subordination. As Sam sat down Nathan broke of a piece of his doughnut and gave it to the kitten.
"Sergeant Smith!" Sam bellowed.
"You said no frosting." He said with smirk.
"No doughnuts. Tinned Cat food and whiskers treats ONLY! If you eat it he doesn't, understood?' Sam barely got through her rant before she lost it and dissolved into a fit of laughter, everyone soon following. Lisa picked up Space Monkey and held her to her face where her nose got a good bath causing her to giggle. Scott looked at her with a smile, which she returned, the two seem to notice only each other, unaware they had an audience until Sam cleared her throat.
"He seems to like you Dr Rose." Scott said looking back to his coffee.
"Well, the first time he pees in my office he'll find out just how much I like him, and it's Lisa." She replied giving the cat another squeeze. Sam came next to her and held out her arms for her baby.
"Colonel it's seven in the morning, at least wake up before you start being a genius." Craig said in an over exaggerated tone.
"But it is also Monday morning and we have a lot to get through this week. Finish up those and then I want to run through your proposed division of labor for the first stage of the X 304's." Sam said. Space Monkey had climbed up her arm and was now balanced on her shoulder chewing the hair around her ear making it impossible to retain any stance of authority with the men.
"Ye Ma'am." Craig replied with a smirk. Sam sighed and left the room muttering something about killing Jack in two weeks. 24 hours later- Tuesday evening earth time.
"You still here?" Daniel said coming into Jack's office.
"I'm in front of you aren't I?" Jack said not looking up.
"Sorry, do you want to be alone?" Daniel asked. Jack's head snapped up and he noticed the sincere expression on his friends face and felt a pang of guilt.
"No, no, sorry come in. What's up?"
"I just got through the last of the translations from P3R 865." Daniel said.
"The ruins the alpha site found?" Jack asked.
"Yeah I took a copy of Dr Rose's notes and photo's to compare it to the ones I had from P9T 606, the Furling meeting place, and it seems as if the terrible foe that nearly destroyed them the first time, struck again." Daniel said.
"Wow, unlucky." Jack said. "Tell me, where are the Furlings? We find a whole lot of their stuff but have never met one." Jack asked.
"Well I'm hoping to find out." Daniel replied.
"Didn't think to ask Oma?" Jack said.
"Ah no, I was a little busy, dealing with Anubis, saving earth, you know how it is." Daniel replied.
"Yes, I do." Jack said. The two sat in silence for a few moments before one of them thought of something to say. "So was there something else?" Jack asked.
"I'd like to take Teal'c, SG5, Dr Rose and a team from the Alpha Site if Sam's willing and go back to P3R 865. Also P9T 606 if needed." Daniel said with a hopeful look on his face.
"No problem on my end, see what Sam says." Jack replied.
"Sure, we have no teams due back for an hour, and it should be relatively quiet there now so..."
"Go send your message Daniel." Jack said waving him out. Daniel headed towards the control room.
"Dial the Alpha site and set up an audio relay." Daniel said to the technician.
Alpha site- Wednesday Morning.
"Incoming wormhole. Defense teams stand by." Captain Sheffield said. The gate came to life but no one came through.
"What it is Captain?" Sam asked entering the small control area.
"Where receiving an audio signal ma'am." Sheffield replied.
"Patch it through Captain." Sam said. Moments later Sam heard the static voice come through.
"Hello, anyone home?"
"Daniel!" Sam said with a smile.
"Hey Sam, how are you?"
"Fine, how are you? How's everything?" Sam asked.
"Jack's good. So am I." Sam could almost hear the smirk in his voice that he surely had on his face. "Ouch, can you not?" Daniel said.
"Daniel, are you ok?"
"Yeah, something hit me." Daniel said with a huff. "Listen the reason I'm calling is not totally social, I need to borrow some people."
"People" Sam asked.
"Dr Rose and Major Andrews team specifically. Can you spare them?" He asked.
"Yeah, when did you need them?" Sam said.
"As soon as possible."
"No problem. Lisa was heading back to earth on the weekend so why don't you come back with her?" Sam replied.
"Sounds good, I'll need the time to get stuff together. Sorry to talk and run but it's getting late here."
"Is General O'Neill there?" Sam asked.
"Yeah he is."
"Can you plug in one of the head sets, switch it to channel four and then press the small blue button that says 'Divert" at the bottom of the audio console. Then get the hell out of there and tell the technician to go get a coffee" Sam said. Expecting to have Daniel ask her to repeat something she was surprised when Jack's voice came through on her own head piece.
"Getting used to giving orders are we Colonel?" He said.
"Yes Sir."
"Are you alone?" Jack said in a low voice.
"No, I have your son here chewing on a computer disk worth something like $43 000." Sam replied. "But aside from him, no one can hear me, but three officers who are going to get toilet duty are grinning at me from across the room." As soon as they saw Sam look over to them the three scurried out of the room. "I can't talk long, I just wanted to say hi." Sam said.
"Hi." Jack replied.
"Tell me why we have this arrangement again?" Sam said with a sigh.
"Because otherwise I can't make you scream when I..."
Anyone watching Sam would have seen her turn a deep shade of red before saying a few more words into the head set and then disconnecting it and the wormhole.
