Ferretti flipped hastily trough the pages of the small booklet given to him not three hours ago by Colonel O'Neill. What did it say to do if both Daniel and Major Carter went missing? Ah, here. Chapter eight. More than One is Missing.

'When a multiple amount of geeks are missing, four or above, call back to the SGC for reinforcements. If the number is lower than that, then find the connections between their various specialties, compare that to your surroundings, and try to see what all of the egg-heads might have been looking at when they became missing. Then react accordingly as follows:

Make sure the rest of your team knows what happened and where you think the missing egg-heads might have gone.

Tell them to report back to the SGC with that information. (If your team only consists of four members including yourself, contact the SGC together/yourself, depending on the number of missing geeks, before proceeding to step 3.)

Investigate said possibility with at least one other team member as backup.

Try not to fall into whatever trap or trigger whatever secret door your geeks triggered when investigating.

Attempt a rescue once what happened is discovered.

Do not leave the planet without your geeks before a second search party or reinforcements are sent. Odds are that the one time you leave to debrief when geeks (multiple) have gone missing is the one time it wasn't an accident and they're being used in some Goa'uld plot.

Note: If you break rule number 6 then you are dead to SG-1. And we don't forget.

Note 2: If said missing geeks happen to be Major Carter and Dr. Jackson, you had better return both of them unharmed and on time or I skin you alive. Also, if you've managed to loose both of my geeks on one mission while I'm not there, I pity you. Your luck must suck, because even I've never managed to do that.'

Jack wrote this? Who would have known?

But forget that! Crap, he had to find Daniel and Carter. Lou wanted to keep his skin, thank you very much. Where were their chapters again? Didn't Carter's say something about liking shiny alien tech and her having a penchant for pressing buttons . . . ? Or was it that Daniel's chapter said he liked to press buttons and then wander into secrets rooms without telling anyone . . . ?

Ferretti was dead. He was worse than dead. He was O'Neill Blacklisted.

Lou really hated life.
