Interruptions

A/N: I've noticed that in Moebius and in Continuum that Sam wears glasses. So, I wrote that into this story.

Chapter Three

It was nearly midnight when Sam's phone rang. She woke from a pleasant dream involving a somewhat undressed Jack and grabbed the phone receiver.

"Carter." She yawned into the phone.

"Colonel. I'm sorry to wake you." General Landry's voice floated through the phone.

Sam yawned again. "No problem sir."

"I'm really sorry to say this Colonel, but can you come in to base now?" The general asked.

"Sir?"

"We've got some issues." Landry said.

Sam sighed. "Give me half an hour."

"Thank you Colonel." Landry said.

"Yeah." Sam hung up the phone, groaned to herself before dragging herself out of bed and grabbing at some clothes. She didn't care what she grabbed, and ended up with her baggy, military issue pants, and an old USAF T-shirt. She pulled them on and pulled her now long blonde hair into a scraggily pony tail. She grabbed her glasses, something she very rarely wore, but it was the middle of the night and she couldn't be bothered putting in her contacts. She grabbed a pair of her military boots and an old jumper, before finally leaving the house. She stopped at the local coffee house, glad that it was open at night, and bought a latte. She then continued on to the SGC.

When Sam arrived, she realised that she wasn't the only one called in at midnight. And they all looked as tired as she felt. Daniel was wearing a pair of tracksuit pants and a jacket. Cameron was yawning and wearing almost the same as Sam. Military pants and a USAF T-shirt. Sam noticed that Vala wasn't in her pyjamas. She was in an oversized T-shirt and a pair of very baggy military pants. Sam wondered for a moment where she'd been staying, the figured, judging by the closeness earlier, that Vala had been at Daniel's.

"What's going on?" Sam asked.

Daniel shrugged. "Haven't seen Landry yet."

Vala gave a Sam a curious look. "You wear glasses?"

"Only if I can't be bothered wearing my contacts. Which is very rarely." Sam replied. "I keep some pairs of contacts here, and some at home. But it was late when General Landry called, I just could not be stuffed finding a pair."

Vala nodded in understanding, and then turned to Daniel. "So why don't you have these contacts as well?"

Daniel shrugged. "I've worn glasses for so long, that they honestly don't bother me anymore."

"Ah, SG1."

Sam and the rest of the team turned to face a tired looking General Hank Landry. Sam and Cameron immediately stood at attention.

"At ease colonels." Landry said. "Shall we all take a seat?"

Everyone sat around the briefing room's long table.

"We received this transmission at approximately 2345." Landry said, pressing play on the tape recorder that was sitting in front of him.

"General Hammond, or whoever may be in charge now…as Quinn…bomb…help." The transmission was hazy and full of static.

Sam's eyes went wide and she turned to Daniel. "Did he say…?"

"I think so." Daniel replied.

"I believe you are correct, Colonel Carter." Teal'c said.

"What?" Vala asked.

"You know the sender of this transmission?" Landry asked.

"Yes." Sam replied, her blood running cold. "It's Jonas, sir. Jonas Quinn."

"The alien from Kelowna who brought the Naquadria to Earth?" Cameron asked. "Who was on SG1 while Jackson was ascended?"

Daniel stared at him. "You really did read every mission report?"

"Yep."

Daniel rolled his eyes.

"Yes." Sam confirmed. "That's Jonas. We haven't heard from him in over five years."

"He said something about a bomb?" Daniel asked.

"We were unable to reply." Landry said. "The transmission cut out before we could talk to him."

"He asked for help." Vala said.

"We should check it out." Daniel said.

Landry nodded. "We'll send a MALP, if that comes back safe, you'll leave in half an hour."

"Half an hour?" Sam asked, checking her watch. "It's 0110."

"If you want to leave your friend in need Colonel, then by all means go ahead." Landry said.

Sam shook her head. "I'm sorry sir. I got very little sleep before you called."

"I don't think any of us got much sleep." Daniel said.

"We were out pretty late." Cameron said with a yawn.

Landry looked mildly amused. "Is it common for my flagship team to go out at night and stay out late?" He asked.

Sam smiled. "No sir. We don't do it often. But every now and then it's nice to have a night out just to have fun."

"Agreed." Cameron said.

"Okay Sg1, gear up, get ready to move out."

Slowly they all stood and walked to the locker room to get ready.
