"When are we going to get dinner?" asked Vala for the third time in ten minutes.

"I told you, after we have had this briefing with the General." Repeated Cameron again.

"But I'm hungry now." She pouted

Daniel walked behind Vala and stuck his tongue out behind due to all her whining.

Cameron tried not to laugh and make Vala aware of Daniel's actions as then began to use his hands to make ears on Vala's head.

"Ok kids, come on sit up on a chair each, and we'll get this over as soon as possible to get you some dinner.' He said picking them up and placing them down on chairs opposite each other.

As the other filtered into the room, Vala found the perfect time to sneak out of the room and talk to the guards at the door and sneaking back again.

"Ok people. What's the latest?"

"The linguist department have managed to decipher a lot more of the base of the device, they think they have found the instructions to use the device for reverting specimens back to childhood."

"That's great, what are we waiting for?"

"They have found out how to make people into children, not how to reverse the process."

"Can we reverse the process?"

"There are no mentions of it on the device, but that doesn't mean there isn't a way."

"I still don't get why would someone make this device, if it takes away all your memories, it's not really extending anyone's life, just giving them a second one."

They all looked at each other in thought at this statement.

"Maybe the device is meant to be used in conjunction with another."

"Or maybe memories are meant to be in tact but Daniel and Vala used it improperly."

Daniel and Vala were both unusually listening to this exchange, a little confused about what they talking about, but unwilling to look to each other for entertainment.

Just then a SF entered the room carrying a plate with a sandwich, crisps, chocolate and a small juice carton.

"Lieutenant?" questioned Laundry for his entry into the briefing

"My apologises for intruding, Miss Mal Doran requested some dinner be brought to her." He said, as Vala was moving her drawing out of the way for her dinner.

Laundry would normally have reprimanded the lieutenant for intruding on a briefing, however he knew the charms Vala usually used on men, that and was before she was turned into an adorable kid.
