Under the microscope - part 11

Happy New Year everyone! My new year's resolutions are to stop wasting time and to stop eating cream buns. :-P You'll know if I succeed in stopping the time-wasting, because I'll update far more regularly!

Enjoy!

TEAL'C

INTERVIEWER: MR ROBERT WOOLSEY

W - Teal'c, please sit down.

W - I trust I can rely on you to co-operate.

T - Indeed.

W - Dr Jackson tells me that during your recent mission to P8Y 252 Colonel O'Neill kissed Major Carter as a means of 'proving' their marriage.

Pause

W - Can you confirm this?

T - Yes.

W - Why did you not include it in your report?

T - There was no need.

W - Teal'c, while the rules and regulations of the USAF may be lost on you, has your commanding officer not impressed upon you the importance of accurate mission reports?

T - My report was accurate.

W - But not complete.

T - That is a matter of opinion.

W - And your opinion is that two airforce officers breaking regulations laid down by this government is not worthy of mention?

T - I said that Colonel O'Neill was forced to pretend he was married to Major Carter, in order to prevent her capture. That was adequate.

W - I'm sorry Teal'c, but your idea of 'adequate' just isn't good enough for the United States government.

Pause

W - Have you made omissions in your mission reports in the past, involving the actions of Colonel O'Neill and Major Carter?

T - Colonel O'Neill and Major Carter are honourable warriors. They are responsible for saving the lives of everyone on this world, and several other worlds, many times over. They do not deserve the injustice you are serving them.

Teal'c gets up to leave.

W - Teal'c! We're not done here.

T - I believe we are.


Sorry about the shortness of this chapter - blame it on the episode 'Heroes', in season 7. I'd just watched that when I wrote this, and Teal'c's attitude to questioning in that situation sort of seeped into this chapter ...

Anyhoo, please review! And have a great 2009!
