"What do you mean shes gone Daniel*? Gone with Jack. I'm right here, can you see me?"

Colonel O'Neill* and Teal'c* had returned from their secret storage base back to the Beta Site compound to rendezvous with Major Carter* and Daniel*, who had been conducting further, extensive, ground reconnaissance, on their new Home-World.

Colonel O'Neill* was wearing a black ball cap with a sun/neck flap which cleverly concealed his long hair and didn't detract from his overall appearance of style and panache.

Daniel* hastily began to debrief his colleagues on the situation which had led to the absence of Major Carter*. He included as much detail about Harlan's predicament back at the Altairian plant, as Jack had afforded him.

Consternation set in as he described how Colonel Jack O'Neill, Teal'c and their Major Carter* had gone to the 989 plant in the Cargo ship that had been parked in the northern most section of the compound, gone to 'sort things out'. He could see Jack* building up and getting ready to blow.

"O'Neill*!!"

"Well She shouldn't be with him."

"Why Jack*?"

"Just trust me Daniel* she shouldn't be with him, its not good for her."

"Jack said they would be back later on this afternoon."

"Super! Terrific! Daniel* why on earth didn't you try to stop her?"

"And just how precisely are you suggesting I could have done that? Shes with you for heavens sake."

"Oh 'for crying out loud'. We're under attack from a freakin' Goa'uld and Carters* gone A.W.O.L. with.. ..Aah!"

"This does present a problem O'Neill*."

"Indubitably so Teal'c*. Indubitably so."

"However, I must disagree with your conclusion that Major Carter* is absent without leave."

"Alright! Fine. Shes missing. And I would really prefer it if she wasn't. There, satisfied?"

"Jack* she'll be fine."

"Daniel* shes gone back to the plant with.. ..Him."

"O'Neill*, I do not believe Major Carter* is in any danger."

"Yeah no danger, hopefully, that is until Jack, the other Jack, discovers who she is Teal'c*."

"Hes already discovered who she is Daniel*, that's why hes with her."

"Okay then, I mean if it becomes apparent that's shes the synthetic Sam*, our Sam*, and not.. ..His Sam."

"Daniel Jackson*, I believe even if the true identity of Major Carter* were to be revealed to Colonel O'Neill of The SGC, she would be in no danger in his presence."

The Colonel* chewed it over in his mind. Ooou! It was hard. 'Of The SGC'.

"You're right there T*. He'd kick up quite a fuss, but once the initial shock evaporated he'd probably just try and ground her."

"How can you be sure Jack*?"

"Daniel*!"

"Oh Yeah, sorry."

"Oh this whole situation is wrong. Daniel* how come they didn't Gate to the plant."

"Well that's just it Jack*. Jack reckons theres an ambush waiting at the Altairian StarGate."

"Ou this is bad."

"On the contrary O'Neill*, I do not believe it is so."

"Hows that Teal'c*?"

"As Daniel Jackson* has said, Major Carter* has accompanied Colonel O'Neill and.. ..myself, on a Mission to P3X 989."

"And?"

"And we must maintain the façade."

"Okay, just a minute, lets just see where we're up to with all of this. Carter* and err.. ..Sam* and my.. ..Carter* and.."

"Major Carter*, Colonel O'Neill and myself and also SG-5, have gone by Goa'uld Cargo ship to P3X 989, the planet Altair."

"Thank you Teal'c*. How are they going to get in?"

"In what Jack*?"

"Err.. ..the.. ..err, hey wheres Daniel? The other Daniel."

"Oh em, hes out in the field Jack*, erecting Radar with em, I think it was Major Pierce and his team and SG-7, no eleven, seven, I'm not sure."

"Right so hes out of the way for the time being. That leaves.. ..Carter."

"Yep, I got the impression Jack was expecting her, which means shes due to come through the StarGate in the not to distant future."

"Okay then. Carters* gone with.. ..Him. Which means when Sam comes through the Gate I'm gonna have to take her on a Mission."

"That would do it O'Neill*."

"Has anyone got anything in mind?"

"Well you can't take her to the plant Jack* that's for sure."

"Thank you for that rather informative little tidbit Daniel*. Strike, no plant. Ah of course, Teal'c is on the Mission. Right, this is all starting to look like a much better bet. Now what are we going to do about this Goa'uld? Whats he called Daniel*?"

"Ibnis Jack*. I've not come across the name before."

"How about you Teal'c*, anything?"

"No."

"Jack*, the other Jack said this Ibnis is more than likely a minor Goa'uld trying to exert himself before the System Lords."

"Well, whoever this little snakehead is, we're going to have to do something. Admittedly theres nothing left at the plant to be concerned about. All our technology and special equipment is secure. I suppose that just leaves Harlan. We're going to have to extract him, I suppose."

"What have you got in mind Jack*?"

"We've not moved all our munitions yet have we?"

"No we have not."

"What have we got left down there in the basement? Theres no launchers or any serious artillery is there?"

"No, there we're two MP5s both with just two clips and six Ihn'tars. Fully charged Ihn'tars. I observed two hand guns of nine millimetre calibre. There are three cases of claymore devices, those cases are no longer in the basement."

"Are those the cases we took through yesterday?"

"Indeed they are Daniel Jackson*."

"That was lucky. Those Ihn'tars could create a problem."

Teal'c* seemed amused.

"Whats up there T*?"

"O'Neill*, Colonel O'Neill of The SGC is more than qualified to deal with this situation."

"Um yerss. I suppose you're right Teal'c*. I forgot about that, yeah he is isn't he.. Okay, you say they'll be back this afternoon Daniel*?"

"Yeah. Jack seemed confident he could contain the situation."

"Okay then. All we need to do is keep the Daniels from congregating and switch the Carters back!"

"Indeed."

"Do you think Sam* will try and do a pass over our new planet, our new Home-World, get a better look?"

"Oh come on Daniel*, I don't know. Unless the rest of the Mission Ops fall prey to a mysterious illness which renders them temporarily unconscious leaving Carter* at the helm to go wherever she wants, I think I'd have to say, no I don't think so."

"Daniel Jackson* our new Home-World is not 'on the way' to P3X 989. It occupies a different stellar quadrant. And I do not think it will be possible for Major Carter* to be able to present a plausible explanation to Colonel O'Neill of The SGC as to why she exited into the wrong orbit."

"Oh yeah you're right, Jack, hes never going buy that. Its just all this excitement of moving, its really getting to me."

"Right there with you Daniel*. I want to know and account for every single nuck and cranny of our new pad."

"I understand O'Neill*, you wish to examine all of our new planet."

"Extensively Teal'c*. Right now lets put our heads together and come up with a plan on how to deal with the other Sam."

The StarGate began to crank open.

"Out of time Jack*."

"Gaw'd damn! Okay look, theres been a row of traffic through this compound all morning. They're stocking up, my guess, the new underground Control Distribution Facility. Daniel* find a way to get back to base and obtain the supplies on that check list of yours."

"Base Jack*?"

"SGC. Right, not our base anymore. Teal'c* you're gonna have to remain in this vicinity in order to watch Daniel's* back. Make sure he doesn't bump into his twin."

Whooosh!

Ohh Carter, I wish you knew how painful it is to see you. "Hey Carter you're looking good."
