Before they left Sam asked if she could speak to the Captain in private for a moment. Janeway agreed and the two walked out of the room, shutting the door behind them. Jack watched the two of them go before looking over at Teal'c and Daniel and saying, "Have you got you're radios?"

Daniel shook his head while Teal'c nodded. Jack sighed and unclipped his and three it under hand to Daniel who caught it easily. "You know the drill, check in every two hours."

While Daniel and Teal'c both nodded in agreement Janeway came back in and said, "Why would you need to check in, you weren't yesterday."

"It's protocol," Jack answered as Daniel clipped the radio to his vest, "And yesterday we were but we weren't speaking since we were all sort of in the same place."

That seemed to satisfy Janeway as she didn't say anything more on the subject.

Jack looked at Sam, silently asking him what that had been about but she shook her head. He narrowed his eyes but let it drop.

Everyone then headed their separate ways, Daniel and Teal'c following Janeway and Chakotay while Seven, Sam and Jack all headed for the nearest transporter room.

Once Jack, Sam and Seven had beamed down to the planet they made their way towards the area where they had made their camp. They had decided the day before to make camp where they had first appeared so that they didn't lose the location of the machine.

As they walked Sam explained exactly what she needed Seven to do. She asked the ex-borg to do the calculations while she started work on the machine that she hoped would be able to bring the machine to them.

Jack watched as she pulled out the tools from her pack and started using them to pull apart the FRED which had carried most of their gear.

The two women worked in silence, both concentrating on their own work. The only time anybody spoke was when Seven, who understood the theory of what they were doing but not the practice, asked Sam to double check something she had written.

Every two hours Daniel and Teal'c would check in with Jack, who had found and picked up Daniel's radio from his tent. It turned out that Janeway had been able to find them something to do. They were currently helping with the end of the repairs to the hull of the ship. Teal'c was being the most help as he was a lot stronger than most of the other people on the repair crew.

Six hours after they had left Voyager Janeway beamed down to the planet with Teal'c, Daniel and Chakotay in tow. They all came to a stop when they saw what the group had done. Sam was sitting amidst a pile of parts, wires and bits of metal while Seven was still working on the calculations and Jack was playing with his yo-yo, obviously bored. They all looked up at the sound of Daniel going to his tent and unzipping it. Seven stood, "Captain."

Janeway nodded, "Seven." She looked at them all and asked, "How is everything going?"

Sam shrugged, "I will hopefully be done with this sometime tomorrow and if Seven is done with the calculations by then I'm hopeful tonight will be the last night we spend here."

Janeway nodded, "We came to ask if you want to join us on the holodeck, we're having a little celebration now that the ship is completely mended and we felt that we should extend an invitation as you all helped speed our progress along."

Sam looked back at the stuff in front of her and was about to decline when Jack said, "Carter, it's going to be dark soon and while you're good even you can't see in the dark, it'll all still be there in the morning."

Sam sighed but nodded and Jack looked at Janeway, "We'd love to join you Captain."

She nodded and Seven stood and handed Sam the notebook she had been working in, "I must return to my alcove but I will return tomorrow."

Sam took the book and nodded, "Thank you Seven."

Jack stood and headed over to where everyone was stood waiting while Sam did something with a few pieces of machine before joining them. "What were you doing Carter?" he questioned.

"Setting up a field around the area where I was working, I don't want something, or someone," she gave him a pointed look, "Moving anything."

Jack frowned at her and took a step towards it. "And how did you do that?" he asked.

Sam shrugged and then when he yelped smiled and said, "Basically an electric fence without the fence sir."

Jack stomped his foot a few times to get the feeling back in it while Daniel laughed and Teal'c smirked. "Really Jack, have you not learnt from the marines that you don't mess with Sam's projects?"

Jack shrugged, "You would have thought wouldn't you."

"Marines?" Chakotay questioned.

"Part of the earth military," Teal'c answered, "And when the stargate program was first activated they used to find it fun to move MajorCarters projects, until she set up a trap which meant that anyone who tried to move any of her stuff got an electric shook that was strong enough to garble their speech for a few hours."

Chakotay nodded while Janeway nodded at Sam, "You seem to be a very capable young woman Major."

Jack nodded. "She's a national treasure," he said with a smirk.

Sam shook her head and then they all headed away from the transporter dark zone.

An hour later and the three team members were happily chatting with the Voyager crew, most of whom were very interested in any stories they had to tell. Sam had just finished the story of how Jack had become invisible when the music changed and she, Daniel and Jack all recognised the song.

Janeway came over and smiled at them, "I thought that maybe you would like to hear some music from your own time."

They all thanked the Captain and then Tom came over and asked, "Can I interest any of you in a game of pool?"

Sam stood, "I'd love to."

The two of them moved across to the table and began setting it up, closely followed by Jack, B'Elanna and some of the other crew members.

Once the table was set up Tom took a step back and said, "Why don't we make this interesting."

"Don't do it," someone called from the crowd, "He's a hustler."

Sam smiled at Tom and said, "Go on then. What do you want to bet?"

Tom smirked, "I win you dance with me." B'Elanna shook her head at that but remained silent, she knew that it was just a game and there was no need to get jealous.

"And if I win?" Sam questioned. Tom shrugged. Sam then smiled, but only someone who knew her well would see the underlying scheming that had brought the smile to light, "How about, if I win, I'll tell you what I want after the game?"

While Tom nodded in agreement Jack shook his head slowly, he felt sorry for the poor man, he had no idea what he had just got himself into.
