12 hours, 1 hour, what's the difference? Here's the next bit. Sorry but I didn't get a beta reader for it. You'll have to put up with my bad grammar, typos, and poor spelling, hope it's not too bad!

Hammond sighed, this just wasn't his day. "Jacob, all government funding to that program has been cut. I doubt they will last long on their own."
"I don't care. I want to destroy the facility and keep the information from getting into anyone else's hands."
"I don't know. . ."
"I'm in." Surprisingly Daniel was the one who cut off the general.
"As am I."
"Like you even have to ask," Jack tossed in looking at the general, "I say w go. We'll be perfectly safe with the shields."
"If I recall correctly slower moving objects can still penetrate these things."
"That is correct. However," Jacob activated a shield around himself, then moved clear of the table. "Jack would you please punch me?"
"What?"
"Just do it Jack."
Jack stood, walked over to the former General, and slugged him non-to gently on the shoulder.
"That's exactly my point." Hammond pointed out.
"Ah, but here's mine. Sam, your turn. Don't hold back."
"Are you sure? I don't want to hurt you."
"Don't worry Selmac can fix any damage you do. Now hit me as hard as you can."
"Alright." Sam did as she was told. Her fist made contact with the shield and bounced back with enough force to spin her around and knock her to the ground. Sam flopped over on her back, cradling her hand. "Jesus dad!"
"Sorry Sammie." Jacob reached down and helped her up. "You okay?"
"No! You broke my hand!"
"Oh!" Jacob looked horribly guilty. "Don't worry I'll fix it with your healing device."
"You better." Jack grumbled as he watched Daniel go pick up the phone and call Janet. "She was just released from the infirmary this morning."
"Janet's on her way. She said she'll bring it, but I didn't tell her why."
"Thanks Daniel." Sam said as she sat back down, her hand cradled in her lap. "So Dad, you're saying we'll be safe from pretty much everything."
"Well yes and no. Using Aris Boch's upgrades we've modified two shields successfully. Once activated nothing, no matter how slow or fast, will get through. I brought these for Daniel and Jack."
"What about you three?"
"Well Sam, Teal'c and I all have an advantage already. If anything manages to penetrate the shields we will still be able to function."
"I know you're all tough and all but do you really think this is wise?"
"Colonel, look at my daughter." Jacob let Jack look, Sam was sitting there taking notes with her left hand.
"So? She always takes notes."
"Jack." Daniel cut in. "Sam's not left handed."
"I'm guessing you thought she was exaggerating? She has never lied to me about an injury. Sam put your hand on the table please."
"Da-ad."
"Sam."
Sam rolled her eyes and gingerly raised her hand up on the table. It was an angry red color and even though it was already swollen considerably they could clearly see several raised areas where the bones were broken and pressing up against her skin. Janet picked that moment to enter the briefing room.
"What happened?" Janet asked gently lifting Sam's hand and examining it.
"She hit Jacob." Jack told her.
"What! Sam why?"
"I asked her to, to prove a point." Jacob answered for his daughter.
"I assume you're planning on healing this?" Jacob nodded. "Alright then, to the infirmary with you two."
"Janet we're in the middle of a meeting here!"
"If you didn't notice Sam, these bones need to be set. I'd assume you'd like some privacy?"
"It will take longer to get down there then it would to just heal it here." Sam complained.
Janet looked at the general who merely shrugged and nodded his approval. Janet sighed and handed Jacob the healing device.
"You know Sam that whole 'your tough' comment. I didn't mean you had to suck it up and be all macho in front of us. You don't have to prove anything or anything." Jack said, slightly disturbed at the idea of watching Fraiser reset the bones.
"Teal'c could you give me a hand?" Janet asked.
"This is my point, you didn't even know she was hurt." Jacob said as he watched Janet give Teal'c instructions on how to hold Sam's wrist to prevent her from moving. "Could you say the same thing if it was you sitting there with a broken hand?"
"You ready Sam?" Janet asked.
"Sure."
Janet grasped Sam's hand and began slowly pulling, waiting for the clicking that would indicate the bone was back in place.
"Why don't you move a little slower Doc?" Jack remarked grimacing.
"Sir, with all due respect, shut up and let her work." Everyone's jaws dropped as Sam spoke, not even a trace of pain in her voice. Even Janet paused and looked up at her friend, seeing only the slightest grimace. "What?! It still hurts you know. It's not like I'm enjoying this!"
Jacob just smiled. "So do we have a go?"
"I'm still not sure I can let my people do this." Hammond said trying not to watch the doctor work.
"There we go." Janet said releasing Sam's hand. "General, she's all yours."
"Sir, with the shields Daniel and the Colonel will be perfectly safe." Sam said, seemingly oblivious to her father busily healing her hand.
"Carter, could you at least pretend like it hurts? I mean you're creeping me out."
"Colonel." Hammond warned before addressing Sam. "Major, I have no doubts to the safety of my people. I am, however, concerned about this turning into some sort of revenge war."
"Well they started it, kidnapping a Major in the United States Air Force!"
"Colonel please remember we were instructed to work with them."
"George I hate to do this to you but Manticore will be a pile of rubble before I head back. Whether I blow it up with my ships weapons or take it down from the inside is up to you."
"Sir."
Hammond held up his hand preventing Sam from talking. "I can not allow my people to go around destroying other military establishments. However, I can grant your request for leave."
"Thanks George." Jacob stood and passed out the shields. "Alright kids, let's get this vacation started!"

Alright, I'm not that great at writing action, so no promises on the next chapter, which won't be up for a while. I have several papers to write for school before I can start typing up more of the story.
