A/N: I much prefer to read than write or review, sorry, this is a short attempt at humor.
A/N: I've thoroughly enjoyed the "A Hint to the Powers that Be" and this scenario has not yet been addressed.
Hearing voices in the conference room, Lt. Colonel Samantha Carter hurries into the room to see her SG1 team members sitting at the conference table along with their commanding officer, Major General Hank Landry. They all looked at the door as they heard her approach - the sound of her high heels alerting them to her presence.
As she takes a seat next to Daniel, Gen Landry has just finishing saying "won't know more until the rest of the data has been analyzed."
"Col. Carter, perhaps you would like to look at data & give us your input prior to the briefing tomorrow at 08:00 hundred."
"Yes, sir. Of course." Carter said, noticing CMSgt. Harriman approach & speak to quietly to Gen. Landry.
Gen. Landry immediately left the table and entered his office where those left in the conference room could see him pick up the phone - but not the red one.
"So, evening out?" asks Daniel looking at Sam dressed in her evening finery.
"Yes, Denver actually" answered Carter, "that's why it took so long to get here after being paged."
"Nice outfit there, Carter. Denver, huh? Must have been a hot date," says Mitchell from across the table. "Where you leave your date?"
"My um,.. date is upstairs..."
"Upstairs! You left your date in the parking lot?" interrupted Mitchell.
"No. My .. date was once stationed here and still retains the necessary security clearance to be in the mountain."
"COL. CARTER" yells Landry as he re-enters the room causing both colonels to jump to attention. "That was Major Jenson at AF Space Command upstairs.."
"Yes, sir! I'll take care it." It was now Sam's turn to interrupt.
"You do that Col. Report back at 07:00 to prepare for the briefing."
"Yes, sir" says Sam as she hurries to the door - running into Dr. Lam as she was entering room.
"Sir, my I ask what that was all about?"
"Not to worry, Col. I'm sure Col Carter has the situation in hand."
"Situation, sir?"
"Col Carter's, um..date likes to visit in one, if not all, of the 4 commands above us. While this is not usually an issue, civilian attire at 0:32 caused the new duty officer some concern."
"Carter's date can just wander around in any of the commands, sir? Who is this guy?
"Actually, Col. Carter's date is her ... husband. People," and the 5 say in unison: "Maj. General Jack O'Neill."
Looking outraged he points to Harriman saying, "You knew!"
"Sworn to secrecy, sir." and points to Lam who raises her hands as if to say not me "Doctor / Patient confidentiality."
"Jackson, you're a team mate."
"Yes, but I've known Jack since before the first trip to Abydos and Sam almost as long. And you, um ..well,.."
"Did not need to know" inserts Teal'c.
"He's correct. They all are. You didn't need to know, nor does the rest of the base. Understood?"
"Yes, sir. Understood."
"Dismissed until the briefing. Get some sleep people."
