Colonel O'Neill was hammering on the cockpit area of the flight deck.

"O'Neill he will not hear you."

"He will, count on it. Hey!! Hey you, yes you, come here. Told ya."

O'Neill was grinning all over. The passing Airman stood to attention and saluted and then hurried to board the ship. Once inside the Colonel instructed him.

"Okay this is the situation. This man is unconscious, he needs immediate medical attention, keep your eye on him until you're relieved, we're leaving the ship."

"Yes Sir!"

"Where you going?"

"Sir on my way to get medical personnel, you said he needed immediate medical attention."

"Yes he needs attention but you need to guard him. I told you to guard him. I want an armed guard on him at all times."

"Yes Sir. Sir you did say he was unconscious?"

"Yes hes unconscious, but the whole point of being unconscious is that at some stage one is going to become conscious again. In which case we don't want him waking up behind the wheel of an inter-stellar vehicle with no one to guard him."

"Oh yes Sir, of course. Sorry Sir."

"Thats alright Airman. You watch him, we'll send the medical staff over."

"Yes Sir, thank you."

"Carry on."

Colonel O'Neill, Major Carter* and Teal'c left the vessel and headed to the inner compound of the Beta Site.

"Major* I need to check up on progress in the Control Distribution Facility and pick up the reports they've already prepared for me, we can Gate home after that. You coming?"

"Actually Sir I thought I'd check in at Headquarters and em, see if Daniel's around."

"Okay Carter* good idea. Em, okay listen, we'll be over at the underground Facility if you need anything. We'll meet back up in the HQ and then we'll Gate to The SGC, won't be to long. Come on T lets go."

"Right Sir, see you Teal'c."

Teal'c beamed and bowed at Major Carter*.

"Carter* can you swing by the Medic's station and get someone over to the lotar. Tell them when they're done to ship him to Earth, usual precautions."

"Yes Sir, I'll do that. Hope to see you soon."

The Colonel and Teal'c set off to the western sector of the inner compound.

"T I can't wait any longer, I'm going to have to get out of these clothes and change into something else. If we stop by stores we can probably get a set of BDUs."

"I would be most grateful for some fresh clothing O'Neill."

"Lets go."

"Sir! Colonel." Major Carter* was jogging towards them. "Sir."

"Wait up Teal'c."

The Colonel walked towards Carter* "What?" With deep and genuine concern.

"Sir I just wanted to thank you."

"For what?"

"Sir you know."

"That's not the kinda thing I want thanks for, you should know that."

"I do, I really do, but I just had to let you know that I feel it."

"I know.. ..I know."

He was nodding his head and smiling and walking backwards away from her. It wasn't open for discussion.

"Jack. Take care."

"Only if you will." He was still moving away.

"I will."

She smiled at him, happy, and gave him a nice wave. Realising that she probably wouldn't be seeing Teal'c for quite some time as well, she threw him a wave of friendship. Major Carter* turned and went to the medical outpost.

After despatching medical aid Major Carter* was unsure as to which direction to take. There was no sign of either Daniel*, Teal'c* or the Colonel*. She knew wherever they were somehow they would have her six. Therefore she thought the best course of action was to continue with her present Mission. As arranged she made her way to the HQ building and went inside, to wait.

There were two stores in the inner compound. One for munitions and technical hardwares located in the east sector near to the StarGate. Then there was the medical and life support stores, located in the westside of the compound. Construction materials were not stored at the Beta Site but were sent through from The SGC as and when required.

The western sector supply stores unit was on the way to the underground Control Distribution Facility. They were in Luck, BDUs were in stock, both Colonel O'Neill and Teal'c were kited out with navy blue and although they weren't able to shower they could refresher themselves with a vigorous face wash. They continued on to the underground Facility.

In their determination to sustain communications continuity during a ground assault, General Hammond and Colonel O'Neill had decided that an underground facility would better serve their purpose. The underground location also rather successfully encompassed the issue of in situ technical security management.

The Control Distribution Facility, underground bunker, was sunken about one story down in the wooded part of the far west sector of the inner compound. It was hidden from view. The heavy blast door encased a very basic build of mainly concrete. It was well heated mostly provided for by the surface temperature.

There were four rooms and two annexes making up two computer suites, a central control room, a ready room, a briefing room and a monitoring post.. ..radio and satcomms, long and short, violet and red, and Xs. Once fully operational they would be monitoring all the airs and all the spaces, Beta Site Aerospace Control & Warning Systems, the full caboodle.

"At ease. Okay Lieutenant, first order of business, we need a team of Techs to get themselves over to niner eight niner, yeah the P3X niner eight niner, the Altair planet, and run a full Gate diagnostic."

"Sir at the current time we don't have any technicians available to go Off World."

"Well Lieutenant you're going to have to find some because until they get their butts out there and checkout that StarGate, SG-5 are going to be stuck in that gaw'd awful hell hole. I suggest you pick up your clip board and start reassessing your roster."

"Yes Sir! I'll have that worked out accordingly."

"Good man Lieutenant. Treat it as urgent. Now when you've finished that very important task I'd be glad if you accompany the Operations Commander as he walks us through the recent developments down here in control central.

"Yes Sir!" The young Lieutenant felt privileged.

The Colonel and Teal'c were at the Facility for about forty minutes during which time they were updated on all recent developments including the latest hardware and software additions. As well as new surveillance installations. Teal'c was engaged with the Master Sergeant ensuring that they had taken into consideration all methods of Goa'uld attack.

The Colonel was guided around the Facility and inspected all new construction works. After receiving copies of the latest reports he left the Facility with Teal'c and set off back across the compound to the Beta Site Headquarters.
