Author's note: The mysteries of the general' behavior will be revealed in a chapter or two. Now I'll introduce the lieutenant Thomason.

Chapter 4: Lieutenant Lucas Thomason

Sam and Daniel meat up with Teal'c.

- Hello Daniel Jackson, Colonel Carter.

- Hye Teal'c. – Said both friends at once.

- How did your mission go?

- Fine Daniel Jackson. Colonel Carter is there something on your mind?

- Oh Sorry Teal'c. – She looked at Daniel. She didn't exactly want to admit that she had also found that the General was weird. But she decided to share her concerns with her friends even tough she knew what Daniel's reaction would be. – I'm just a bit concern about our new General.

Daniel started jumping in excitement. – I knew it. I knew it. You also think that the general is wacko.

- I didn't say that. Although I must agree that I don't think he plays with the whole deck, I don't think he's completely wacko. And we shouldn't be having this conversation here.

- I agree with you. But we must tell Teal'c about our conversation with the General and our fishing plans.

The two friends told Teal'c everything that had happen on the general's office and the plan of going fishing on the weekend.

- I believe that the two of you are correct. There is something fisdnik abut the general.

- fisdnik!

- It means something like weird, wrong. Something like that.

- Oh. Right. But as I said before we shouldn't be talking about this on the base. If someone by any chance happens to hear us we are in big trouble. – Sam started thinking about the outcome if someone actually heard them. The general would break up SG-1 that's for sure. Daniel would be fired and who know what else could happen to him? I'm sure that the guys from NID would insist on studying Teal'c and the general might just allow that to happen. Not to mention me. I'd be court marshaled. I'd probably end up in jail.

- You're right. – Daniel made that face of excitement he makes when he gets a brilliant idea. – Oh, oh. Sam if we get back from P7X-986 on Friday do we have the night off?

- Yeah. I think we do. Why?

- Well. We could go somewhere to talk about the general. Somewhere no one would hear us.

- I don't know.

- I agree with Daniel Jackson. We should talk about the general.

- Ok. Where?

- I don't know. How about some restaurant? I don't think that anyone would suspect seeing three friends sharing a meal together.

- Ok. So it's settled.

- What a bout lieutenant Thomason. – Teal'c just remembered that they would have a new teammate and that maybe he would like to come along with them.

- What about him?

- He might want to come and have dinner with his new friends.

- First of all there is nothing in the regulation that says we have to be friends. Second so what if he does? That's his problem. – Daniel really didn't what someone else in their team. He knew he was being intolerant but he truly missed Jack and this guy would be taking his place.

- We will have to have some sort of friendship with this guy if we are going to trust him our lives. I don't mean that we'll be best friends but we shouldn't start judging a guy we don't even know just because we didn't what him on our team. We should also try not to talk about our dinner plans around him to avoid any problems.

- Ok. So that's it. Friday night it is.

- Is it not time to go meat our new teammate?

- Yes it is. Daniel promise me you'll behave.

- What do you think I am? A five year old kid? Of course I'll behave.

The three friends went to meet with their new teammate. General Charleston was already there.

- Sam. Dr Jackson and I'm guessing Teal'c this is lieutenant Thomason. Lieutenant this is your new team: SG-1. Colonel Carter is the leader.

Sam and the lieutenant saluted.

- Lieutenant welcome to the SGC.

- Thank you colonel.

- I'll leave you to get to know each other. Sam will you do me the favor of showing the base to the lieutenant?

- Yes, sir.

- I'll let that pass for now.

- Yes, Ben.

After the general left Daniel decided to introduce himself. – Hey. I'm Daniel Jackson. And this is Teal'c.

Teal'c tilted his head.

- Hey.

Lieutenant Thomason looked nervous so Sam decided to make him more at ease.

- How about is I show you around? This place is nice. We have everything we might need: the best infirmary in the state, maybe even the country, a gym, a commissary where you have tasty food… - After thinking about the food Sam decided to correct herself. – Well, eatable food; and the most important thing of all the stargate.

- I think I would love that tour.

The lieutenant turned out to be a nice guy with a great sense of humor. Even Daniel liked him. As he looked curious about everything related to space Daniel decided to show in some of the artifacts that he had in his lab.

- Here you can look around for a while. I don't mind. Check my computer I have some images of the planet we're going to visit tomorrow.

- Thank you.

- Teal'c has a report to do. And Sam and I have to go work on a device. We'll be in her lab. You know where her lab is right?

Lieutenant Thomason nodded.

-Ok. If you need anything just call us. Bye.

- Bye.

DANIEL'S LAB

- So what do you think about Thomason now?

- Ok you were right Sam. He isn't that bad.

- Let's see what we can find out about this device. I'm getting really frustrated. We've been working on this thing for three days and still have nothing.

- Yeah. I'm getting upset myself.

The two friends worked on the device all night an came out empty.

- Daniel I have a suggestion.

- What is it?

- Let's just deliver this – Sam was holding the device on her right hand – to area 51 and let them worry about it for a change.

- Ok. Let's do it. And let's get some sleep before the mission.

- Ok see you later.

- See you later.

Both of them went to get some needed sleep.

Author's note: This chapter was kinda weak. But I promise that the next one will be better.
