Milky way Galaxy, USA, Pentagon 25th June 2008
Jack O'Neill's phone rang, he sighed no doubt another politician with a matter that really was urgent, as far as Jack was concerned, nothing short of imminent destruction of the earth counted as urgent business.
He picked up the phone and an unexpected, yet welcome voice greeted him.
"Sir?" it questioned, and he smiled.
"Nice to hear from you Carter, how've you been?"
"Sir, theres been some events at the SGC which I thought you needed to be notified of immediately." Carter's voice betrayed a panic that he had only heard her use in the most dire of situations.
"Is it not normally General Landry's responsibility to report any such events to me?" O'Neill asked puzzled.
"Yes sir, however he's currently occupied with a Goa'uld which is on base at the moment, so he gave me authorisation..."
"WHAT?!"
"Er...Thor transported..."
"What?!"
"Would you like me to start from the beginning sir?"
"Er yes Carter, could be a good idea." So Carter filled Jack in on all the happenings at the SGC over the past day, when she finished Jack was silent for a few moments.
"I'll be there as soon as I can ." Jack said, putting th phone back on its cradle and grabbing anything that he may need as he left his office. Telling his secretary to cancel any meetings for the next few days he left his office heading home, to pack what he would need for a few days stay in Colorado Springs.
