Jack opened his eyes. Looked around and after taking in his surroundings, he realised that he had just had a very real nightmare. He was still sitting at his desk, papers all scattered over his table. Looking at his watch, he realised he must have fallen asleep. It was only 18:00.
Rubbing his right hand over his eyes, he tried to get his head back into the game. The report needed to get finished. Right now, he wasn’t even sure if the Sergeant who been here earlier, was in his dream or if he was real.
Jack wondered briefly since when he was falling asleep that easily but realised that he had had a very exciting day behind with a lot of stress and pressure.
A knock on the door and Jack felt how a shiver crept up his spine. Getting up he opened the door. A young officer was standing there dropping the message about the meeting being held the next day at 09:00 in the briefing room. Jack thanked him and waited till he was gone. No question about the performance of the aircraft and nothing out of the ordinary. Closing the door, he sat back at the desk and took his pen, ready to write the final part of his report.
As he finished and checked the time again, it was just after 20:00. Putting the finished report into a paper folder, Jack thought about going for a walk. Remembering his dream, he hesitated but went anyway.
About an hour later he was back. The whole time he was on edge and was far from enjoying the walk and getting some stress relief. He felt worse than before and stepped under a hot shower again. Pictures of the gun pointing at him before his eyes. He tried to recall the face from his dreams or the voice, but success would not come.
His bed called and he followed. His tired brain needed a break and he was sure tomorrow his world would look different.
Xxx
Jack woke up the next morning around 06:00. Feeling a headache coming, he opened the window for fresh air. Looking outside, the dawn of the morning was coming.
He sat up, scrubbed his hands over his face and through his hair. As he recalled the night, he remembered to have another weird dream about him being shot. It wasn’t the first time he had nightmares but usually his dreams been about his past, not about a scenario that had not happened before.
He got himself ready and packed his bag, ready for leaving after the meeting. Jack still had enough time to have a little morning walk and take a light breakfast. His walk led him to the hangar area, and he watched as some personnel were already being busy to maintain some fighter jets. The sun was up by now and started to fill the air with her warmth.
He greeted the young men and women who were eagerly working and seemed to enjoy what they were doing. He knew that everybody on this base was waiting for the result of the meeting today.
Xxx
The Colonel stepped into the briefing room. He was one of the first and greeted the other two officers. Choosing a seat, he flopped himself on it and placed his file in front of him on the table. Resting his hands on it he looked around as the door opened again and the next officer stepped in with a mug of steaming hot coffee in his hand.
“The chair still free?” he pointed next to Jack while asking.
“Sure,” a short reply from the Colonel indicated that he was not interested in small talk. His concentration was laying on the report ahead.
The officer, with the rank of a Captain, sat next to him, nursing his cup. He glanced over onto the folder and was itching to ask a question. Just as he summoned his courage, the door opened again, and the commander of this base, General Corcoran, entered. Looking around he met the eyes of the Colonel. A faint smile crossed his face and he nodded slightly in acknowledgement.
A couple of minutes later everybody was accounted for and after a short introduction from the chief mechanic, the chief engineer too, the chief instructor and the General himself and Jack.
He stepped in front of the large mahogany table the officers around which the officers were seated and started to describe what he had experienced with the X 304 the previous day. He offered as much detail as he was able to. He critiqued and praised the assets and the good work of the aircraft.
He answered question after question and by the end he felt drained. Paperwork and standing in front of a crowd was so not his thing to do.
General Corcoran thanked him after Jack had finished and wished the Colonel a good flight back. He hoped that their path would cross again and with that left the room to head back to his office. Checking his watch, Jack had about 40 minutes left till his flight which would take him back to Peterson. He was looking forward to seeing his team again and for a nice relaxing night off. Grabbing his bag, he was walking slowly over to the big green transport machine. The cargo was already on board and securely tied up. Jack fumbled in his pocket for his papers and showed them to get on board.
He loved the experience he had made here and would have loved to stay longer. But on the other hand, he was also happy to get back home. The idea of a team night later formed in his head and he had to check if Sam, Daniel, and Teal`c would have time to enjoy a relaxed evening. Sitting in his seat, ready for liftoff, he looked out the window. From here he could see over to hangar two and saw how officers had been busy with the prototype of the X 304. It was far in the distance and a picture of little busy ants shot into Jack’s inner eye, letting him form a smile on his face.
Jack took a deep breath. He would have loved to test the new hyperdrive and see what the aircraft can do now. With the X 302 it was still unstable. Since then, scientists had been very busy developing the technology further.
The doors closed, the Captain announced that the plane is on its way to Colorado and with nice weather, during the flight, there was nothing out of the ordinary to be expected.
The Colonel made himself comfortable and closed his eyes. His brain started to show him his dream from the night before and Jack still did not understand what this was all about. Was it a warning of some sort? Was it just his conscious mind trying to work something out? Or was it his guilt he felt towards his dead friends? He didn’t know and was too tired to think about it. With that, he drifted off to sleep.

Sam sat in her lab and worked on an artefact that she had on her shelf for quite a while now. Glancing at her watch, she realised that her CO was coming back today and by the time it was now he would have landed at Petersons already. She had missed him for the last three days. He always knew how to cheer her up. The childish behaviour he had from time to time and his funny and sometimes stupid comments, made her laugh even though she didn’t show it all the time.
She heard a knock on the door and as she checked out who it was, Daniel her teammate and friend were standing in the door frame.
“Hey Sam, care for a late lunch?” The young man came closer now and showed some interest in her work.
“Sure, just let me finish this. It will only take another few seconds.” With that, she turned her attention back to her table.
“You heard anything from Jack? He is coming back today, isn’t he?” Daniel questioned while trying to remember if he had his memory right.
“Yes, the Colonel comes back today. His plane started at 12:00 and if all has gone well, he has landed by now. Knowing him he will come straight away to the base, inform the General, and say hello to his team and friends.” Sam smiled and finished the sentence with `I hope` in her head.
“If he has landed already, he needs around 30 min driving time to get from Petersons to here. Add some time for the embarkation and I would say we have another 45 minutes of peace and quiet.” He grinned with that comment and Sam knew he was joking.
“You are right, and I am done. Let’s get something to eat. I never realised that I am starving already,” Sam replied while putting her tools away and cleaning up her tabletop.
Xxx
The plane with Jack on board had landed right on schedule. A few more clouds had been hanging around, but it didn’t look like it would rain anytime soon. The Colonel had a good sleep and felt rested and ready to face the rest of the day. He had gone through security with no problems and on the street outside the base was already a car from the SGC waiting for him.
The driver, a young Lieutenant, opened the door for the Colonel and helped with the bag. Jack wasn’t sure what he had to think about a service like that. If he would have been a General, he would understand it okay, but he was only at the rank of a Colonel. He would have taken a cab to get up the mountain.
As his driver drove through the streets of Colorado Springs, he saw people working busily in shops and cafes. The roads had been pretty empty for this time of the day and with that, it didn’t take the Colonel long to arrive at his destination. Signing in, he made his way to the office of his CO and friend. He was sure the General was dying to hear all about his test flight.
Knocking on the heavy door, the announcement to come in came just a second later.
“General.” Jack stepped in and saw how the face of the older man behind the desk lit up.
“Colonel, welcome back. Have a seat. You want coffee?” George welcomed his 2IC.
“Sure, why not.” Jack placed his bag in a corner and took the advertised seat on the opposite side from the dark wooden desk.
“How are you doing son? Did you enjoy yourself?” General Hammond picked up the phone and ordered two coffees while asking the questions already.
“It was brilliant. The X 304 is a big improvement in comparison to the X 302. It is an absolute joy to get her to fly. Even if I didn’t test it out, on paper she can pull 11 Gs. This is pretty amazing, and I wonder how hard a pilot would have to train to stand that kind of force.” Jack started to give his friend the first glimpse of what he had experienced.
“I am glad you enjoyed yourself so much. You got a copy of your report for me to read?” George knew that he was not entitled to but asking didn’t cost anything.
“I knew you would be interested, so yes, I got you a copy of my report for you to read.” Jack smiled knowingly.
A knock on the door interrupted the conversation and the General’s aide came in and placed two steaming coffee mugs on the table. “Nice to have you back, Colonel.” The young officer smiled and left the room again without waiting for a reply of the stunned Colonel.
“I’ve been missed?” Jack looked at his friend with surprise written all over his face.
“Course you are. The base isn’t the same without you.” the General smiled and sipped on his hot beverage.
Jack started to feel uncomfortable and changed the subject. “Would you like to have the report now, Sir, or later?”
“Whenever it is convenient. It’s not official as we are not really having anything to do with the development at all. So, no pressure. It’s just pure nosiness.” He smiled; just glad he had the Colonel back in one piece. Good knowing, he was quite prone to attracting all kinds of trouble.
“I have the file right here, Sir.” With that, he got up, opened his bag and fished a brown folder out. Reaching over half the table he held it out to the General who took it immediately out of his hands.
“Thank you, Colonel. You can have the rest of the day off. Go home. Enjoy your life. Tomorrow we will have another little chat after I have read your report and I will fill you in with what is going on in the meantime. SG1 Is on stand down for another three days.” He took another sip and glanced at the file he had in his left hand.
“Thank you, Sir. Have a good day yourself. See you tomorrow.” With that, he got up, grabbed his bag, and left the room just to come back to get his coffee as well, which brought another smile on the General’s face.
Jack headed to the lab of his 2IC. He wanted to see her face and her smile. He knew she would be busy with God knows what she had on her table. The door was open, and he was standing in the door frame. Careful not to make a noise, he watched her work. As he was sure it was safe and she would not ruin anything, he made himself known with a little throat clearing.
The Major looked up and, seeing the man who been standing in her doorway, her face lit up into a big smile. “Colonel, welcome back. How long have you been standing here?” She asked and tried not to blush.
“Just a few seconds. You’ve been busy with your doohickey and I waited for the moment to be safe, so you don’t drop anything important.” He scratched the back of his head like a little boy.
“Oh.” Sam looked at him, without knowing how to respond, thinking it was totally sweet of him to care for her work that much.
“Carter, got any plans tonight?” Jack felt the silence stretch and before it could be extended to the unbearable, he just asked the question he wanted to know the answer to anyway.
“Not at the moment but I sense I will have plans in a minute.” She smiled, guessing already what was to come.
“I was thinking, we haven’t had a team night for a long time. The weather is nice. So why not come around for a BBQ?” Jack proposed.
“Sounds good. You gonna ask Daniel and Teal`c or shall I let them know?” the Major wanted to know.
“Nah, I will go and ask them. You go back to your stuff you are doing right now anyway. Is 19:00 okay with you?” he questioned, knowing it would be fine anyway.
“Sure, I will bring the salad as usual. See you tonight, Sir.” Sam smiled and as her CO left. She went back to her artefact.
Jack made a stop in Daniel’s Lab who was all excited as well, promising to bring some beer in bottles and not in cans like the last time when Jack had told him it was understandable that it was not tasting the same.
Reaching the gym, he could hear the Jaffa already. Giving instructions to some young new members of the SGC in fighting techniques. The Colonel stepped in and waited on the side until his friend dismissed his class and had time for him. He definitely didn’t want to interrupt anything. He knew how seriously his alien friend took his job as an instructor.
“O`Neill, it is a pleasure for me to see you back. Are you well?” Teal`c asked without any facial expression.
“Doing good, my friend. Doing good. Just wanted to ask you if you would come tonight for a BBQ and a bit of fun. Sam and Daniel are coming too.” Jack beamed, already looking forward to some quality time with his friends.
“It will be an honour for me, O`Neill,” Teal`c replied.
“Great, I think Daniel said he is giving you a lift.” Jack gave the last of the information before bidding his friend goodbye and heading home.
The few hours Jack had before his friends came, he spent well with organising food and heating up his grill. Checking the time, he realised that it was already time that his team would arrive and so he threw some steaks on it to speed up the process of waiting time.
Just a few seconds later and he heard the engine sound of some cars. A smile crossed his face and he was shouting to the front that he was already waiting in the garden for them.
“Hey, Jack” Daniel was the first one to come and greet his friend.
“Sir.” Sam followed and Teal’c appeared as the last of his friends.
“Hey, kids, make yourselves at home. Dinner is ready in a few minutes.” With that, he dipped a generous amount of beer over the steaks. The sound of sizzling reached Daniels ears and his tummy made itself known which led to Carter breaking out in a little giggle.
The night went well. All four members of SG1 enjoyed themselves and the conversation was held lightly. Laughter filled the air till deep into the night and as they said goodbye it was way past everyone’s bedtime.
