Chapter 12

The next day Personal did arrived on-time as they had never seen General O'Neill react like that. On arrival they found their parking lot had been taken over by a huge double Decker bus. People were scatter everywhere, some putting their bags on bus others grabbing stuff from down stairs.

Carter pushed her way through the confusion over to where she could see Daniel and Emily were standing on the far side.

"Morning." She said dropping to the ground all ready feeling tired. She soon stood back up though as the different in temperature was phenomenal. Rubbing her hand together she watched the steam come out of her mouth. Daniel and Emily were doing the same. There seemed little to say, no one was fully awake yet. After 10 minuets Carter remembered the rumors of yesterday.

"Congratulations Emily, big job." Awaking up slightly Emily looked up.

"Thanks." Emily had heard it enough time that morning not to bother asking how she knew. It was the SGC infamous grapevine at work. Nothing stayed secret for long, even the top secret stuff. The base personal just knew when to keep their mouth shut. Again there was silence. Not wanting to freeze his butt of in boredom Daniel attempted to make conversation.

"Anyone know where the great General Jack O'Neill is taking us?"

"To the moon." They jumped as Jack came out from the forestry where the officer's car park was.

"Morning campers." Jack said putting a megaphone to his mouth, urging the masses on to the bus. "The sooner you're on the sooner you be warm.

They found Jack was right as he had added the extra expenses of heating throughout the bus. Everyone walked jostled down the isle finding their friend. Daniel and Carter just plonked down in front seats. Jack smiled at them.

"To early for the poor scientists." He teased at that Carter sat up straighter about to give some witty come back when Daniel interrupted.

"Bloody hell yes!" everyone in hearing ranged snort and as the retort was passed back the rest of the bus followed. Emily though smiled sitting on the other side of the isle when jack had placed his bag.

"Ok now we seemed woken up, let me give you some of the finer details. This trip is going to take place over two week in which we will be reviewing all the skills necessary in this job, and some new ones you might find useful. This for those you wondering this will take place of your yearly reviews."

There was aloud cheer as this news was departed as for most these had been coming up.

"Therefore Dr Frasier will also be carrying at the appropriate test." The cheers slowly fell away at this. Jack smiled.

"When we get to our destination we shall be breaking into groups of 12 these will be your dorm groups and the highest ranking officer is in charge of that group. I shall allow you to choose this group, so long as the guy and girl remain separate." There was laughter and sarcastic out cries.

"Now without further ado let get this show on the road."

And off they went, as it was obvious Jack was in a hurry. Jack squatted down next to the driver as it appeared he was directing him.

Not knowing weather it was because of an early more or the length of the bus ride, one by one the SGC nodded off to sleep.
