'Carter, what have you got for me?' Jack dropped into the briefing room chair.

'Right,' Sam opened a file, 'Basically we haddiscovered that the wormhole works the same way as a phone line.'

'When you and Jack were stuck in the Antarctic.' Daniel added.

'Exactly,' she replied, 'But what we've now discovered that it works like a cellphone signal, and the reason SG-5 is stuck on P3X-249 is all down to timing; a connection can only be made when the planet isn't blocked by it's sun or it's moon.'

'So we give SG-5 the time to dial-up and hey!… they're home.' Jack said, 'Simple.'

'Not quite Sir,' Sam told him, 'Remember I told you that P3X-249 orbits it's sun slowly? Well, by my calculations we have twelve hours before the planet is behind the sun and out of range for ten months.'

'The planet is heavily infiltrated by Jaffa,' Teal'c remarked, 'SG-5 will not hold out for that period of time.'

'And one of their team is injured.' Daniel supplied.

'I give them two more days at most.' Jack said.

'Which is why I think I should go through the gate to them.' Sam said.

'Carter?' Jack looked at her.

'By my calculations, we have three or four shots at this, Sir, and timing is crucial.' Sam looked directly into his eyes, 'If I can't get them home, no-one can.'

Jack took a deep breath, 'Fine, but you're being joined by SG-1.'

'Yes Sir.'

'The original SG-1.'

Teal'c cocked his head and raised an eyebrow quizzically. Daniel pondered the General's words for a few seconds, his mouth opening and closing once before he spoke, 'Jack?'

'Yes, Daniel?'

'Aren't you officially off missions? Being the person in charge of the SG-C.'

'I spoke with the President a few hours ago,' Jack replied, 'He told me to use all means necessary to bring those soldiers home. The place is over-run with Jaffa and Goa'uld. I'm not going to ask you to do something I wouldn't be willing to do, and entering a enemy planet is one of those 'something's.'

Teal'c nodded in approval.

'Besides… you guys get all the fun now,' Jack put on a whiny voice, 'I wanna play.'

Daniel looked at Sam and rolled his eyes. She smiled and shook her head in a silent reply.
