AN: Not much to say, just more silly fluff :)

SUMMARY: Hey Carter Q10, Captured as part of a mission SG-1 talk back and forth to the First Prime who holds them captive. Slightly different in style but still a Hey Carter kind of scenario :) SG-1 Friendship/Humour K Rated fluff-fic.

HEY CARTER: QUESTION 10: MEANINGLESS.

The obviously recently promoted First Prime paraded up and down before them in typical 'ha ha' cocky fashion. He stopped, supposedly to stare menacingly through the bars at SG-1 who lounged about in an unconcerned fashion in their cell on some unnamed planet. He frowned hard at each of the in turn. "Why do you not quail at the thought of meeting your vengeful god?" he asked.

"Because Hairy Pack is not a god." Jack responded tiredly, man was he bored of this routine.

"Heru'pak." the Jaffa informed him sharply.

"Whatever." Jack grumbled waving his hand about and then he actually turned his back on his captor where he lay on the hard stone bench.

Sam slid down the wall to the floor and sighed deeply, she too was fed up with the whole getting deliberately captured so as to meet an undercover Tok'ra scenario.

Daniel stood polishing his glasses, trying hard to figure out whether or not there actually was a small scratch on them, but without them on he could not tell.

Teal'c, who felt it was important to play the game stood alert and as upright as possible just out of arms reach through the bars. His eyes burned into the young Jaffa before him, issuing an, as yet, unmet challenge. "You worship a false god." he informed their ward as he once again walked past.

"Shol'va!" the First Prime spat in fanatical style, daring to look Teal'c in the eye, but he could not hold his eye for long. Teal'c's reputation preceded him and even from behind bars the warrior intimidated him. Quickly he moved on to pace twice more.

"So how long?" Jack mumbled, barely audible from his position.

The other three looked expectantly out through the bars, that was a good question, it had been almost seventeen hours already.

"When my master deems it so."

Jack swung his feet back onto the ground. "Well go tell him to hurry up then. I want to escape before dawn!"

The Jaffa laughed. "You shall not escape! You shall be tortured to death until you are dead!"

Jack's spine stiffened and slowly, deliberately he rose and made his way right over until his nose was almost through the bars. The Jaffa smirked, finally pleased that he had managed to provoke a reaction. "You..." Jack said, pointing a single finger straight at the gold emblem. "You should know better!" he chastised. "A person in your position should know better that to use a redundant, meaningless tautology in your sentence." He glared angrily at the Jaffa. "I hate it when you guys do that! It is either 'you shall be tortured to death' or 'you shall be tortured until you are dead'...not both, never both!"

The First Prime's face flickered in confusion before he took half a step back. Daniel sniggered in the background and Sam grinned with silent amusement. "O'Neill is correct." Teal'c chipped in in deep serious tones. "A First Prime should ensure that his language usage is above reproach."

The young First Prime, clearly annoyed at being made a fool of snorted harshly and left the room before the colour rose up in his cheeks.

There was a smattering of laughter. "Oh it's too easy." Jack chuckled as he came to sit on the edge of the bench near his 2IC.

"You're right there, Sir." Carter agreed before licking her lips slightly. "But...isn't saying it's a 'redundant, meaningless tautology' in itself a tautology?" Her eyes slid sidelong towards her CO.

Jack's grin faded out abruptly as he thought about her question.

For a few minutes there was silence as they all waited for their grammar guru to reach a conclusion.

Jack became aware of the fact that they were all watching him. "Hey Carter," he began and turned pointedly to look down at her where she awaited his answer.

"Yes Sir?" she asked sweetly.

"Shut up!" he ordered huffily.

Her head ducked in a instant hidden grin. "Yes Sir." she acquiesced as evenly as possible.

For a few moments utter, utter silence filled the small room, then suddenly and completely unexpectedly Teal'c broke form and loud Jaffa laughter rang out through the night.

AN: He, he. Hope you enjoyed that, I know I did. Go on and let me know would ya? ;)

And just by way of FYI, although you guys already know this the dictionary defines a tautology as:

"The saying of the same thing twice in different words, generally considered to be a fault of style (e.g., they arrived in single file, one after the other.)"
