Chapter 10.

The next morning Jack woke to the sight of Emily head resting on his shoulder. Jack reached out and stroke her hair. He had missed her so much in their years of separation. Emily strangely, was the only one he'd been able to talk openly to. Maybe knowing she was a kid and still forming her idea's of right and wrong had something to do with. Jack lifted his wrist watch and swore as he saw that it was 10:30 already.

Jack jumped out of bed, miraculously managing not to wake Emily and walked down to his office. If there had been a mounted of paper work on his desk yesterday there was now an avalanche. With a groan Jack sat down to work on it.

He had managed to reduce it to a small hill when Daniel walked in.

"You going to join us for lunch today." Jack looked at the clock surprised to find it was already 2:30. He looked at the Paper work and then at Daniel weighing up the two options. He sighed as he made the responsible choice.

"No, I have got to finish this." Daniel Nodded then left.

It was as if no time had passed before he had finished and Daniel was back.

"What dinner time already" Jack said placing the last paper in his out box.

"No lunch." Daniel said walking in and place a plate in front of him. Jack rolled his eyes. "What your always telling Carter and me to eat regularly so I thought I would return the favor. "

Jack pick up the fork and started to eat.

"Thanks." He mumbled between mouthfuls. Daniel sat down.

"What are you going to do with Emily?" Jack eyes went wide as he drop his plate running for the door.

"I forgot about her." He stop as Daniel said

"Don't worry she in my office working." Jack sighed in relief and went back to his meal. "What I meant was what are you going to do in the long run."

Jack put down the empty plate and sighed.

"I don't know." Daniel nodded.

"I have a suggestion." Jack raised his eyebrows indicating for him to go on. "Give her a job her at the SGC."

"As what!" Jack exclaimed jumping to his feet. Daniel had some real dozies of ideas but this was ridicules.

"As my assistant." Jack sat back down. Maybe it wasn't that ridicules. "Think about it Jack, every team has a pile of stuff wait for me. I never get round to it all as a result there are back logs going back more than a year!"

Placing and elbow on the table he rested his head on his hands.

"Would she know enough?" Daniel smiled.

"Enough, not as much as me, but enough." As Jack face stayed the same as he added. "You taught her well, Jack I just have to refine her a bit." Jack smirked at Daniel's choice of words. He then pick up the red phone and started dialing.

"Are you going to talk to the president or am I?" Daniel smiled and took the phone.

He had taken some convincing but eventually the president had agreed. What had sealed it was tell him that Emily was Jack's daughter which suggested to the president she could be trusted.

Jack asked the airmen guard his door to go and fetch Emily. Jack waited itching with anticipation.

Emily entered the room a minuet later. Though shocked to see Daniel, see was glad to see her dad smiling.

"Emily am I right in think you didn't want to go to uni." Emily nodded "What would you say to a job then."

"I can't get one no one will hire me." Jack smile and gave Emily a piece of paper.

"You have now. Dr Jackson be telling me what a help you been and he wants you to stay permently." Emily went wide eyed. "You would be on the army pay roll and therefore have to follow there rules. Do you want the job?" Emily nodded. Then sign the form.

Eagerly Emily did what she was told. Then in perfect timing the alarm went off. Daniel ran out the door. Jack followed telling Emily to follow him.

"Were receiving sg-4 iris code sir."

"Open the iris." Emily stood and staring though the glass. The object that she was so fixed focus on was the star gate. Jack laughed causing Emily to look at to look at him.

"This is the real function of this base Emily, Space travel." Emily smile at her dad Joke

"That impossible our technology…" her drop of as the middle of the ring filled with a blue water substance "… is that?"

"That is a stable wormhole! " Jack finished for her.

The wormhole opened and sg-4 walked down the ramp. One man was being carried, and the other had less grievous injuries. As Jack looked more closely he saw that the man leg was broken.

"Medical team to the gate room." The technician said. Jack snatched the PA from him.

"This getting out of hand." He comment and pressed down on the speaker to make his announcement.

"This is General O'Neill. All teams that are on base will report to the gate room in half an hour." Putting down the system Jack turned to Emily. That will give you time to change." Then left.

Emily turned to Daniel.

"Is he always like that." Daniel nodded and led Emily out of the room. "So why do I have to change?" Daniel smiled at the question every civilian asked at one point.

"As Jack said earlier, this is a military operation, therefore the regulation apply." Daniel look over the see worry on Emily face. "Don't worry, Jack pretty informal." As they arrived at the supply room Daniel opened the door. Walking in he started looking around what was unofficial know the disaster zone, for where the uniforms were. Finding them behind a pile of regulation back pack Daniel started to sift through.

"What size are you?"

"Fourteen." Daniel smiled and pulled a bundled up.

"You're lucky there near the top." In hi arms Daniel was hold the same style green T-shirt and pants as he had on. Grab a black one as well he handed them to Emily.

"This Will do for now. These are what you wear on base." Emily looked a little disappointed

"Won't I get to go…" she screwed up her face trying to think of the right word.

"Off-world." Daniel finished and smiled as Emily nodded. "Sometime, but your job will have you main on base." He said lead Emily off to the change rooms. As they walked another question occurred to Emily.

"What exactly is my Job?" Daniel laughed at this obvious oversight.

"Basically you're going to continue what you've been doing this week."

"Translating alien artifacts into English?" She said putting to and to together. Daniel nodded

"Yea, the main purpose of this base. To perform recon work."

"So if you're the archeological head, why don't you so it." Daniel smiled at the thinking.

"Because main I off-world and as a result the artifact pile up."

"So it is my job to un-pile."

"Exactly."

"But if there is Alien, sure there would be other languages.

"Only one as most of the Aliens are human and speaks human languages. Main English to be exact."

"Humans live on other planets?"

"Yea but I'll leave that up to your dad to explain." At that the reached the locker room. Emily was about to walk in but Daniel grabbed her.

"It a shared one so you have to ask before walking in." Emily blushed. There had separate toilet so she had forgotten his. Letting go Daniel shouted.

"Oi anyone in there."

"Yea, sorry it the ladies at the moment." Daniel smiled and indicated for Emily to go in.

10 minuets later Emily immerge. She had been surprised at how comfortable the uniform was.

"Ok we better get going, were late for the formation."

"Dose that mean were going to have to do push up are something." Daniel laughed

"NO like I said before your dad informal, he probably is late himself."

Everyone, like Daniel knew that that Jack wasn't a stickler for formality, so they took their time to fall in. As team upon team arrived late Jack became more and more irate. Everyone was shocked to see Jack on time. And after that had faded away very nervous. It was very rare to no what mood jack was in because of his blank face, but it only had to look at him to tell his was angry. By the time everyone had arrived it was it was a little more then and hour after Jack had asked. With every team that had walked in late the Anger grew. As the last arrived Jack stood there silent after ten minuets, they realized he was waiting for them to come to attention. A slow a wave crossed the crowd with nudges and whisper suggestion. As the murmurs died down jack looked at his command before him. He had not wanted to do this, but now he saw that it really was necessary.

"You are disgusting." Jack shouted in a drill sergeant's voice, making everyone stand up even straighter. "This only give me another example of the falling standards of this place since taking in my command. I like informality, I like having everyone relaxed. But if this is the price it shall be no more. All off-world teams will pack a bag and be here 6000 sharp. You're going back to basic training. Dr Frasier and Miss O'Neill you will also attend.

I suggest you go get some sleep." With that Jack left the room leaving everyone else flabbergasted.
