Why This Must Be Read: Mystery stalks the SGC! You'll think the twist obvious, only it isn't. Great inner Jack voice, lovely team characterization, and one of the best incoherent Daniel quotes ever. Read and enjoy!
"Gentlemen!" an unexpected voice intruded. They had been so busy arguing they hadn't noticed General Hammond approach. "What's going on?"
"I just went to get some coffee," Daniel said, "and as I was walking down the corridor towards my office, I heard this crash from my office, and I rushed to the door and the pseudo-Mycenaean vase from P3X455 was smashed on the floor. But there was nobody there, and I didn't see anybody leaving, either. And neither did Jack."
Hammond frowned. "Colonel?"
"Didn't see a soul," Jack said. "But we do have a smashed pot."
"We will continue this discussion in my office," Hammond said.
"It was just a --" Jack began.
"That was not a suggestion, Colonel."
"Yes, sir."
Hammond's office looked like the aftermath of a hurricane. Jack wondered if one of Daniel's weather deities had escaped. Papers were scattered everywhere, in a cascade from the desk to the floor. The globe was lying on the floor, spinning slightly. Maybe it was a curse as a result of the broken pot. Better not mention that to Daniel though, or he'd spend the next half hour explaining to Jack what the pot actually said on it.
Jack caught a sudden movement in the corner of his eye, a grey streak, but when he looked, there was nothing to be seen.
"What the --" Jack exclaimed.
Hammond stared grimly. "I think that confirms it. We have a Reetou on the base."
Daniel sneezed. "It could be just a coincidence," he ventured.
"Once is chance, twice is coincidence..." Jack began.
"Three times is enemy action," Hammond finished. "Captain Carter had one of her experiments interfered with, and I have three people lying unconscious in the infirmary with toxic shock."
"Ah," said Jack.
"Since Teal'c is offworld..." Hammond began.
"We can't get any warning-cramps from Junior," Jack finished.
"I'm putting the base on alert," Hammond said. "Divide into teams, use the Tok'ra devices to determine if there are any Reetou hiding on the base."
