The dormitories are fairly plain, the walls are an air force grey and there are two metal framed bunk beds covered with simple green sheets. Serena does not seem very impressed with their accommodation; she is used to very elaborate rooms with heavily decorated furniture and a four-poster bed.

"This is outrageous; do you actually expect me to sleep in there?" She states pointing back into the room. "When you were with us, look at the quality of the secure quarters you were held in, there is a big difference." she moans.

"Um, Serena it's a different culture, I'm sure this is a standard dormitory, right?" Deanna says looking at Carter for some help before Serena loses her temper again.

"All SG personnel have the same sort of quarters when they are on base, however, most also have homes to go to, as you don't live on earth the house thing is gonna be a slight problem."

"Anyway, the quarters are acceptable!" Harmony inputs quickly. "Erm, where do the other members of your team - er - go? Like - uhm - Jonas...?" she adds, ducking her head a little to avoid the blush.

"Probably in the common area eating, I'll take you." Carter says as she walks down the corridor.

"Great! 'Cause I'm starving!" Harmony thinks of an excuse to cover her real reason for finding Jonas.

All four girls make the short trip to the elevator and descend to the level with the canteen on.

As they reach the double doors Carter says, "This is the common area, Jonas should be in here. I will go and inform the General of where you are."

Harmony is first through the door, her eyes immediately searching for Jonas. Jonas is sat in the middle of the common area eating a big plate of what appear to be curly fries and every so often dipping one into his big glass of thick chocolate milkshake.

"Jonas!" Harmony half squeals, giving up any pretence of being 'starving' as she runs over and hugs him before he has a chance to stand up.

"Harmony, what are you doing here?" Jonas says, surprised but happy to see her. Serena and Deanna join them at the table and each pull up a chair. Teal'c, who was a little confused at the outburst, is sat opposite Jonas with a tray full of all different types of fruit. Serena decides that she wants to try a piece and picks a grape off the stalk and throws it high into the air, waits for it to descend and then expertly catches it in her mouth. Teal'c opens his mouth to say something, but then settles for raising an eyebrow at Serena.

Meanwhile, Carter rounds the corner towards General Hammond's office, instead of knocking she decides it would be best if she just popped her head round the door and say the girls had settled in and are with Jonas and Teal'c in the common area. As she opens the door all she sees is an angry looking General stood behind his desk shouting something about protocol to a frustrated O'Neill who is stood with his back to the door next to Natasha. Carter decides it would probably be a good idea to leave, she closes the door quickly and half walks half runs back down the hall until she hears a very annoyed General shout,

"Major Carter my office now!" Carter stops and with an irritated look on her face slowly turns back and makes her back to the General's office. As she steps inside both Natasha and O'Neill turn round, both looking highly irritated. General Hammond closes the door behind Carter as she stand in between Natasha and O'Neill.

"Major Carter, have you no courtesy to knock before entering a General's office, what is it that you so desperately need to tell me that it couldn't wait until after I had finished reprimanding these insolent people?"

"General I apologise for my interruption but I thought it would be best to tell you that I have shown the girls their accommodation and they are now in the common area with Jonas and Teal'c."

"Thank you Major, maybe you could now show, The chief scientist where her friends are." General Hammond says.

"Yes sir." Carter then turns to Natasha and motions towards the door, as Carter and Natasha make it to the door they hear General Hammond.

"Colonel, since when are you a scientist?"

Carter and Natasha turn round to see O'Neill no more than two paces behind them trying to follow them out the door. At the General's words he rolls his eyes and clicks his fingers in a frustrated way and then turn backs to the General.

"Never, sir."

"Well then, I didn't give you permission to leave did I?"

Carter grabs Natasha's arm and pulls her out of Hammond's office before she gets in trouble for anything else today.

Back in the common area Serena is unsuccessfully teaching Teal'c how to catch grapes. She picks up a grape from Teal'c's plate and throws it up a little harder than she anticipated; as the grape goes up it also goes back and is destined to land on the floor behind Serena. That is until she swings right back on her chair using her foot to clasp the table to stop herself falling all the way over. What she doesn't realise is that one of the SF's is walking behind her at the time. She swigs back and throws her arms out for balance; the SF falls over her throwing his tray up as he falls. She catches the grape in her mouth just before a bit of orange Jell-O lands on her top. She quickly sits back up in time to see an angry looking SF with a tray full of food plastered to his head, sitting on the floor to the right of her, she giggles.

"Serves you right, you should have looked where you were going." She then turns back to the rest of her table and starts talking about how stupid men are on earth. The SF wipes the mash potato off the side of his face and deliberately flicks it at Serena; it misses her and lands in the big jug of water that is sat in the middle of the table causing water to splash out of the jug and onto the table. All five of them turn and glare at the SF. As he is getting up, Serena notices the piece of Jell-O on her sleeve and flicks it off. It hits the SF in the face. He retaliates throwing more mash potato at Serena, once again it misses her but hits Harmony. Jonas gets up walks around the table and immediately dumps the contents of his glass over the head of the SF. The chocolate milkshake splatters onto Deanna's leg. As Jonas makes his way back round the table, Deanna throws an apple at Jonas' head. Harmony immediately grabs the water jug and chucks it at Deanna, Deanna ducks which means the water collides with the next table drenching the whole of SG-5, the jug bouncing harmlessly across the floor. One of the members of SG-5 throws his apple crumble towards where the water came from. The apple crumble over flies the target and lands on an SF sat on the table behind Jonas. The SF picks up his bowl of ice cream and throws the contents in the general direction of the apple crumble thrower. The ice cream hits Teal'c on his bald head and sits there like a hat; Teal'c looks displeased and raises an eyebrow at the scared looking SF who has just turned round to see the Jaffa looking at him with the ice cream sat on his head. Everything goes quite as they all wait to see Teal'c's reaction. He does nothing other than raise an eyebrow and pop a grape into his mouth, as soon as he does so all hell breaks loose and even the cooks on the other side of the serving counter all start throwing food about, Teal'c just sits there looking surprised at the behaviour of everyone and every so often getting hit by items of food.

Stepping out of the elevator Samantha and Natasha are still giggling about previous Naquada experiments that went wrong. They make their way down the hallway towards the common area.

"So what's the big metal thing that closed over the stargate after we came through?" Natasha asks

"It's an iris. We learned from Dr Daniel Jackson's example on Abydos, and by the actions of the ancient Egyptians, that if the Gate is buried under a strong, substantial substance, it blocks the path of anyone or anything attempting to pass through it. Therefore, we built a giant iris which closes very quickly over the gate. The iris is so close to the event horizon, less than 10 micrometers, that it won't allow anything to rematerialize on our side. Therefore it will block anything from coming through the gate uninvited. If someone tries to come through the gate with the iris closed, their molecules would not have a chance to rematerialize in other words they would cease to exist." Carter explains as they round the corner and come in view of the common area doors. As they reach the double doors, Teal'c walks out of the doors covered in what appears to be orange Jell-O and whipped cream. Carter and Natasha stop dead in their tracks and stare then giggle even more at the sight.

"Teal'c, I didn't know you were going for the McVitie's look..." Carter says trying not to laugh aloud.

"I am not aware of the 'McVitie's Look'..." Teal'c says, one eyebrow raised. Tash looks at Carter.

"What is it?" she asks curiously.

"Original light sponge cakes with plain chocolate and a smashing orangey bit, I hate to say it Teal'c but you look like a Jaffa Cake!"

Teal'c raises his eyebrow in confusion.

"Major Carter, I have no knowledge of this 'Jaffa Cake'..." He says as he walks away.

Carter and Tash giggle as they walk in through the double doors to meet the other girls and grab some lunch. They walk in and allow the doors to swing back into place, as their giggling subsides they realise the common area is full of screaming people throwing all different kinds of food. Someone over the other side of the room throws a jar of something at Serena, Serena ducks and it collides with the doors between Carter and Tash splashing bits of blue Jell-O all over them. Tash takes a piece of the Jell-O that landed on her arm and studies it closely.

"What is it" Tash asks.

"That's blue Jell-O, they should know better than to throw blue Jell-O around when I'm here, I love the stuff." Carter gives the room a quick scan to see who threw it at them; an SF is stood at the other end of the room looking right at them with a shocked expression.

"Oh wow!" Tash says after eating the piece of Jell-O.

"Precisely, they shouldn't be throwing good food around" Carter says as she grabs the nearest custard pudding and throws it at the SF over the other side of the room who has turned round trying not to be seen, the custard pudding manages to do a triple loop in the air and lands right on the SF's head.

Tash gives a little girly scream as Jonas walks up to her and puts a cream sponge in her face, this sets her off and she grabs the nearest bowl and tips the contents over his head, unfortunately for Jonas the bowl was full of cold beans. He then turns and runs to the nearest table and picks up a jug of cold gravy, lobbing the contents in Natasha's general direction. Tash ducks out of the way causing Carter to be splattered from head to toe in cold lumpy gravy. Both women give Jonas a 'you're dead' look and each grab the nearest plate and throw it.

"Is that clear enough for you Colonel?" General Hammond says more calmly

"Yes sir."

"Right, I suggest that we go and find our guests so you can apologise, at least then we have some chance of having a treaty with these girls." Hammond says as he walks from behind his desk and out the door followed by O'Neill. They walk in silence until they get to the elevator.

"Where did Major Carter say the girls where?" Hammond asks

"She said they were with Jonas and Teal'c." O'Neill answers with a smirk on his face "That means they are in the mess hall eating." both men enter the lift chuckling. They arrive at the mess hall and walk in just as Carter throws a lemon meringue pie at Serena. Serena rolls under the nearest table causing the pie to over fly and land right on top of General Hammonds round bald head and sit there. The whole room goes silent and just stand there looking surprised. No one dares to speak as they watch General Hammond's face turn a slight shade of red. Carter is stood stock still staring at the General with a shocked-verging-on-terrified expression on her face. O'Neill however finds the fact that his second in command has thrown a lemon pie at the General rather funny.

"Nice hat you've got there General, but I'm pretty sure it's not regulation, sir." he says trying not to laugh.

"Neither are food fights in the mess hall, now you will all stay in here until I can see my reflection in the floor, I want this place spotless before any of you leave. That includes you Colonel." Hammond orders.

"But sir, I wasn't even in the food fight-!" O'Neill doesn't get the chance to finish his sentence.

"Because, Colonel I gave you an order and whilst they are here the girls are under SG-1's supervision." Hammond then walks out and orders two SF's to make sure no one leaves until they have cleaned the whole room, the SF's take their positions at the doors; they are the only ones who hear Hammond sniggering as he leaves.
