Jack sat and stared into the depths of his coffee, if you could call it that. It was still Daniel's watch but Jack could never sleep on missions anyway, he just felt better if he knew where everyone was and what they were doing and that they were all safe.

He looked up as Corrigan emerged from her tent she smiled at him and he gave her a nod in return. She walked round to the coffee pot past Daniel.

"Morning Daniel."

"Morning."

"Who made the coffee?" She asked looking at it in disgust. Jack laughed.

"You've got to used to decent coffee Tal, this is what good old US Air Force coffee looks like."

"Right." She mumbled, moving away from the pot. "I'm gonna go walk down to the river." She said.

"Hang on." Jack said tipping the rest of his coffee onto the remains of last nights fire. Slinging his

90 over his shoulder he followed her. "Back in ten." He yelled over his shoulder to Daniel.

Jack followed slightly behind Tal to the small river that ran through the forest. When she arrived she sat down cross-legged on the bank. He plonked down heavily next to her and looked at her sideways.

"Wotcha doin?" he asked. She smiled looking down at her lap.

"Thinking."

"About?" She gave him a poignant look.

"Ah." He said. He looked at for a moment then began to close the gap between them, she too leaned in towards him. But they both froze as they were engulfed in a bright light and surrounded by rings.

Jack's hands instinctively reached for his gun while the rest of him took a few more seconds to react. He blinked a few times and then relaxed as he recognised the man standing being Tal. His eyes flicked back to Tal, who had pulled out her zat aiming it at the Tok'ra behind her, and he sighed and shrugged. Jack got up and offered her his hand and pulled her up off of the floor of the ring room of the Goa'uld cargo ship they were now on.

"Jake. How you been?" Jack paused long enough for Jacob Carter to take a breath but then continued. "Good good. I've been good, you know same old knee problems, back gives me a bit of trouble now and again." Tal elbowed him in the ribs. "Ow! What? Oh right. Jake, Annie. Annie ,Jake." Corrigan rolled her eyes.

"Jacob Carter I assume." He nodded. "Captain Anne Corrigan, pleased to meet you." She said.

"So, Jacob, what brings you here?" Jack asked, at that moment Lieutenant Grogan and Captain Stone of SG4 walked into view. "Ah." Stone had her arm in a sling and Grogan looked a little battered.

"This presents a problem." Corrigan rolled her eyes.

"Well duh."
