Disclaimer: I do not own Stargate SG-1 or anything related and am not getting paid for this (darn!).

Part 1

P3X-554

Samantha sighed; she hadn't seen Jack since he had been promoted to Brigadier General.

He hadn't been able to go on a mission since.

She, on the other hand, had been stuck on a mission for six months.

Cheyenne Mountain Complex

"Why do generals have to do so much paperwork!" Jack grumbled. "Maybe I should get myself demoted."

"Major Carter will be here momentarily O'Neill. Informed Teal'c.

"Hello sir." Sam said to Jack as she stepped off the platform.

"Mission briefing in half an hour." General Hammond informed.
