Chapter One

Cheyenne Mountain, Colorado Springs CO

Jack got off the phone with Major Paul Davis of the Pentagon. He knew that he was going with Daniel on this expedition but he never knew that he had a cousin that was in archeology too. Well better get this over with.

"Walter!" Jack shouted.

"Yes, sir" Walter said

"Page Dr. Jackson to my office would please."

"Yes, sir"

And in just seconds you could hear Walter calling over the P.A. System "Dr. Jackson to O'Neill's office, Dr. Jackson to O'Neill's office." Within about a half hour Daniel showed up at Jack's door.

"You wanted to see me Jack?" Daniel asked curiously.

"Yea, come in and shut the door." Daniel reached around with his hand and shut the door.

"What is this about Jack?" Daniel starting to get a pretty good idea when he was asked to Jack's office.

"Why didn't you tell us you had a cousin?" Daniel looked stunned. He knew Phil would not be calling if was unimportant and now it seemed important.

"I am sorry Jack. I did not think you guys needed to know, but apparently now you need to know."

"Ya think?" Jack said sarcastically

Daniel gave Jack the look that said 'don't be a jackass'..

"Phil, or Phyllis Ballard was in the Marine Corps just before we went to Abydos, and then when we got back I looked her up and she was working for the CIA on Special Ops missions. Right now she is retired from the Marine Corps. She wanted to pursue her passion of finding Noah's Ark and apparently the expression on your face she wants to talk to me?"

Jack sighed, "Yea, I got off the phone with Major Paul Davis at the Pentagon. He said that she found an urn with Ancient Egyptian writing on it..."

Daniel did not let Jack finish, "Jack we have to go to where she is at..."

"Danny-boy I was getting to that when you so rudely interrupted me. Phyllis Ballard is in Turkey and she found it out there. You are going with back-up. Since SG-1 is on down time and I need a vacation from this paper work, I am coming with you guys."

There was a knock on Jack's door at that moment "Come in" Jack said.

"Sir, there is a transport waiting for you and SG-1 at Peterson" said Walter

"Would you mind getting Colonel Dixon in here Walter"

"Yes, sir" and Walter left. Daniel turned to Jack " You are going to have Dave in here while you are gone?"

"Yes, is there something wrong with that?" Jack said in a sarcastic tone.

"No, but I know that Andrea Thompson would be good in helping with computers with Sam and us gone"

"Okay I will set it up. Meet you and the rest of the team top side in 15."

"Ok, Jack"
