SPOILERS: Meridian is the main one but it relates to a lot other episodes as well.
SEASON/ SEQUEL: It's set kinda a few months after meridian so... no Daniel (but no Jonas yet)
RATING: PG (to be on the safe side)
SUMMARY: Yet more Tok'ra technology, what could possibly go wrong this time?
AUTHOR'S NOTES: please stay with it and review! I'm sorry that the updates are few and far between but I have to fight my mam and sis for the comp. I'll keep trying tho. Also I have a truck load of work to do.
Hammond was sat at his desk with Janet sitting opposite.
"Do we know how these devices work exactly?"
"Well sir, as Major Carter pointed out earlier, they use an electromagnetic transmission and electronic interface with the neurones in the brain."
"So what will Colonel O'Neill and Major Carter be experiencing?"
"You would have to ask them that sir, but from what Anise tells me they can only intercept current thoughts. They can control what the other can 'hear' and if they concentrate hard enough then they can transmit images. Apparently any conversations they pay attention to will be received by the other as well."
There was a knock at the door.
"Come in!" A fairly nervous young airman walked stiffly into the room.
"Doctor Rutherford has requested your presence sir." Hammond smiled. It always amused him when the younger airmen were scared of him. It made a nice change from his borderline insubordinate, tactless, loud, sarcastic, rebellious 2IC. He wouldn't change Jack for the world though... well... not much.
"Thank you son." The airman saluted and hastily left the room. Hammond chuckled. Janet knew what he was thinking. (Without the use of a telepathy device.)
"Did Colonel O'Neill ever start like that?"
"Nervous and obedient?" Both Janet and Hammond chuckled at the thought of it. "I doubt it. We better go and see what Dr Rutherford has to say for herself."
When Hammond and Janet walked into the observation room, they were greeted by an obviously highly amused Teal'c.
"Teal'c?" Janet frowned in confusion. Teal'c, still smiling, stood aside to reveal the video monitor that showed Sam and Jack. The pair of them were lying on the floor and rolling around, they looked like they were having some kind of fit.
"What in God's name...?" Hammond and Janet looked at Teal'c with anxiety.
"They are laughing." Teal'c seemed like he was having difficulty refraining from doing so himself.
"What happened?" Hammond turned to Dr Rutherford for an explanation. Until that point she had been stood quietly in the corner, laughing but obviously perturbed by the events that had unfolded.
"Well sir..." She stepped forward, brushing her blond hair out of her eyes and pushing her glasses back onto her nose. "They're not crazy." She paused to look at the monitor and laughed. "At least... not officially." This seemed to partially satisfy Hammond and his expression softened.
"So what happened?"
"Nothing much really." She sighed. "I was asking them questions and their faces were twitching slightly, it was un-nerving really. They were answering me but pausing between answers. I knew they were talking to each other. I asked them what they thought of the devices and they just burst out laughing.
"It is most likely that O'Neill has made a humorous comment." Teal'c interjected. He had long since become aware of his ability to state the obvious, but he amused himself with it so he just kept it up. Hammond sighed. Typical of Jack, he was bad enough when Hammond could sensor what he said without him having secret "conversations" with Carter.
"Sir..." Dr Rutherford paused. "I was wondering if you would give me a couple of hours to do a few... tests?" Teal'c raised one eyebrow and Hammond frowned.
"Tests?"
"I just want to see how they react when they are in separate rooms."
"It would be a very interesting study in terms of assessing the value of the technology." Janet secretly wanted the entertainment value as well.
"Indeed it would be amusing, General Hammond." Teal'c hadn't had this much fun since the last time he watched Yoda's light saber battle in Starwars Episode 2. He really had to find that video. Hammond paused to think about this.
"Alright doctor. You have one hour and then they must attend the mission briefing."
"Thank you General." Dr Rutherford's eyes beamed to show her gratitude. She turned to Janet. "Janet... would you be able to lend your expertise?" They were friends from way back, it was Janet who had recommended Karen for the job. Janet looked uncertain. "I could certainly do with your help to keep Colonel O'Neill under control." Janet laughed at this.
"No-one can keep Colonel O'Neill under control!" Janet looked at Hammond who nodded. "Alright Karen...I'll be along in a minute."
