Home, sweet, home
General Hammond looked out at the stargate through the window of the control room. Then after a moment he looked out at his watch. He knew they would be okay, they had survived so many adventures that he just had a gut instinct that they would make it back.
Suddenly the gate whirred into life. Hammond smiled. It took a minute for the chevrons to lock.
Meanwhile Daniel had just finished dialling.
"Right, you can put the code in now Sam." Daniel spoke.
Carter pulled out a oblong device and keyed in a code.
"Right people, lets move!" O'Neill bellowed.
Bray'tac, Teal'c and Jacob went first followed by Daniel, Carter and O'Neill.
Back on earth, General Hammond had seen the chevrons lock and heard the whoosh. The iris was currently closed.
Then a computer beeped.
"Sir, it's SG-1" said one of the controllers.
"Well, open the iris" General Hammond replied.
The iris opened and slid back. Five seconds later Bray'tac, Teal'c and Jacob came through. A couple of seconds later Daniel, Carter and O'Neill arrived through.
"Close the iris" General Hammond ordered. The iris whirred and then closed.
Hammond smiled and went down to meet them.
As soon as he got into the gate room he asked "Did everything go well, Colonel O'Neill?"
"As well as it could possibly go. Didn't make it back in time for dinner. But what is late dinner to us?" Colonel O'Neill answered.
"Glad to see you all back. Briefing at 21:00 hours. You will have a couple of hours to have something to eat. "Hammond replied.
He grinned as he walked away. As far as he was concerned it was going to be an interesting Briefing.
