Within seconds of the klaxons starting the Gateroom was filled with a platoon of Marines with their rifles drawn and aimed at the center of the open ring. They watched in awe as a metal shutter sealed across the center of the ring. All of a sudden they watched as the ring stopped rotating and they heard a large whooshing sound as the area behind the sealed Stargate lit up. After a tense ten seconds they watched as the shutter opened and revealed a vertical wall of shimmering water. "What the…?"
What they saw next surprised them even more, they saw three people step out of the water, one woman and two men. They noticed the man with glasses was limping down the ramp and heavily relying on the tall black man for support. From one of the opening side doors an older man in BDU's stepped through, "What the hell took you guys so long?"
"Is that Jack?" Cathy asked her husband, who nodded back.
The woman smiled at her CO, "Daniel had a… run in with a deep hole sir."
General Jack O'Neill looked at the man with glasses, "Danny, how many times have I told you to watch where you're going?"
Daniel just glared at him. George walked up behind Jack, "Jack, now you know how I felt whenever you guys were late coming through the iris."
Jack spun around, "I was never that bad!"
Sam laughed, "Sir, you were worse!"
Jack looked back at his Major, "No I wasn't!"
Daniel spoke, "Yes you were!"
"No I wasn't!"
"Were!"
"Wasn't!"
"Were!"
"Was not!"
"Ah, how I miss that sound," General Hammond laughed as he looked up at the conference room and saw them all staring down at them. "Why don't you guys go get checked out and meet us up in the conference room right away, the President's waiting."
"Yes sir," Sam told him as the trio headed off to the infirmary and get cleaned up.
As Jack and George walked up to the conference room they spoke, "Was I really that bad sir?"
"Jack, you can call me George now! And yes, you were that bad! I hardly ever remember you guys coming through the gate on time or early."
"There were plenty of times that we came through early!"
"Yes and you were usually under fire and getting the Gate room all shot up as you all threw yourselves through the gate!"
The two men laughed as they stopped in the control room for several minutes to discuss SGC matters. After fifteen minutes they finally entered the conference room.

A/N: That's all for awhile... I still haven't made much headway in the next few chapters... But if I get some reviews maybe I'll be inspired :)
