Subject: Assistance needed

To Vanessa,

I have acquired your email designation from Daniel Jackson's files.
Recently, due to an outside source, I discovered the art of singing.
I have been attempting to show my new skills to my friends here at
the SGC but it appears that my choice of song (Row, Row, Row Your
Boat) is no longer appropriate. Since I am unfamiliar with what may
be considered appropriate here at the SGC, I thought to enlist your
help on this matter.

So I heard--congratulations! You're very good! :)

LOL! Sure. Um, off the top of my head, here's one of my all-time
favourites. Basically, as soon as you finish, start it again (it's
one of those repeating songs):

"This is the song that never ends
It just goes on and on my friends
Some people, started singing it not knowing what it was
And now they just singing it forever just because
This is the song that never ends..."

Hope they like this one better. ;)

All the best, Ness.

Geez, put me on the spot... well, I know some people would tell you
to do the same to him, but that may be a little rash... however,
whilst we're on this subject, you and Jack *do* have a history for
"socialising" with other people... perhaps you should both hurry up
and formalise something between you so that there is no longer any
questions regarding your "relationship". Then, maybe, he'd stop
thinking with his %$£&@ (at least, as far as anyone else is
concerned).
And don't forget Sam, you have already "killed" him twice... perhaps
that's enough?
Anyway, back to revenge... considering one of the upsets was because
of his story about the two of you, perhaps you should consider
writing a story about his behaviour and how it affected you, and just
how much grovelling he'll have to do to make it up to you...

Um, well, ok, sure. Same rules apply:

"She moaned softly, freeing one of her hands from his shirt to grasp
his head and direct it back to hers, her lips seeking and claiming
his with an urgency that surprised them both. For a moment he was
reminded of another time, another kiss -- a hard and brutal kiss. But
as her lips softened against his, her tongue dancing erotically with
his, the memory of that long ago locker room faded; the past image of
a different, infected woman coarsely seducing her mate replaced with
this bewitching and erotic creature beneath him now."

How was that?

Hi Teal'c,

Listen, I hate to be a pain, but I just thought of something. Daniel
told me that he sent Jack to read the list emails on his recent
behaviour... however he also said he was about to go home... I think
there might also be a couple of emails in Daniel's inbox that Jack
*shouldn't* read. Is there any chance you can catch Daniel before he
leaves the Base? Or stop Jack?

Subject: I'm hurt!

Hi Ness,

I've just read some of the recent list e-mails and wanted to let you know
I'm shocked and hurt. I only got halfway through when I had to stop, I
couldn't read any more. You were right when you said they were destroying
someone's reputation! It was me!

For crying out loud, Ness, it's the Sam and *Jack* list! I thought they
liked me, warts and all. I get stranded on Adora through no fault of my own
and it's character assassination time! They make me sound like a man who
thinks with his %$£&@. I'm not, really I'm not.

I only got involved with Lara because I thought I was never going to get
home, no hope of rescue. It wasn't like I leapt into bed with her at the
first available opportunity. If I'd wanted that I could have done it the
first day we were there. I saw the looks she was giving me.

But as soon as I heard Teal'c over the radio I knew it was over and when she
caught up with me, she did too.

I really don't know what else to say to you, except that I have never felt
closer to Martouf.

I need to go somewhere quiet to think this through. If I remember correctly,
there's a disused bomb shelter on level 17, that should do. I've got to go,

I can hear Teal'c coming and I don't feel like talking to him.

Oh..... that's just peachy..... what idiot taught him a never-ending song?

When I received your e-mail, I went to find Daniel Jackson, but he had
already left the base. I then went in search of O'Neill but was also unable
to find him. I am sorry I could not be of more assistance.

Do you know any more songs? I find a varied repertoire is most satisfying.

It's thinking of an idea that won't upset either of them and isn't a

Very nice, thank you. Perhaps I ought to try an NC17.... after all, I

I don't know. Teal'c just rang and told me about you mailing him. Don't
worry about the mails with the story snippets - I think Jack will be far
more concerned about what the list are saying about him. Teal'c says he's
gone missing - he's probably sulking somewhere. But as a precaution I'm
staying at home with the door locked!

Teal'c has learnt a new 'never-ending' song. He sang it to me over the
phone. If I ever find out who taught it to him, they'll get a piece of my

I think I may do that! If for no other reason than to try and sort out
exactly how I feel. Even if I don't show it to him, it might help me make
sense of things.

Over the last few hours, I've thought long and hard about what you've said
and I think you could be right. I was perhaps a little hasty in condemning
Jack. I don't feel angry any more, just sad that yet another wedge has been
driven between us.

I've got to go, I think I heard someone at the door. I guess it must be
Daniel.

Well, when you explain it *that* way... but listen, maybe you
shouldn't be telling *me* this. If you'd read all of the emails, then
you would have noticed that the main reason the list is upset with
you is because of your treatment to *Sam*. Have you considered
*apologising* to *her* for what happened? I mean, come on! The woman
rewrote the laws of physic's to bring you home--that's no mean feat!

Actually, might I suggest you return to the Base? I got an email from
Jack a few minutes ago and apparently he's quite upset and is going
off to find some peace and quiet so he can recover from what the list
said (a la Martouf-under-a-table). Unfortunately... he remembered
hearing about an unused bombshelter on sublevel 17...

I think current hits would be appropriate. Cassandra listens to that type of
music. Thank you.

Um... Simmons, Martouf...? I doubt they'd associate those names with
you... ;)

Not a problem. :) I look forward to what you come up with! :)

Now *that* would be a tragedy!

LOL! :) Oh well, maybe he'll find a new song soon. :)

Hi Ness,

I think you ought to know it wasn't Daniel at the door, it was Jack. I
wasn't going to allow him over the threshold but he did his 'cute little boy
with the adorable brown eyes' thing and I just turned to mush and let him
in.

He said he'd come down here because he needed somewhere quiet to think. As I
came down here to get away from him, I guess I really ought to go but I
don't like leaving him like this. He's not himself, he's hardly spoken since
he arrived. I wonder what's upset him?

He's not said anything.

I'm definitely going to try it. Thanks for the advice.

I hope so. He certainly doesn't seem mad at me which is a start. Now I just
need to get him to talk.

I'm going to have to go, Jack has asked if he can borrow my laptop.

best wishes

Hi Ness,

Sometimes I need things spelling out in words of one syllable. I don't think
you were obvious enough. Anyway, I'm now in the bomb shelter I told you
about.

Figure of speech! (You're beginning to sound like Teal'c.....)

I know, you're right. And by sheer coincidence she's here with me in the
bomb shelter. I can't imagine why she was in here, but I'm glad she is.
She's been kind enough to let me use her laptop.

The poor man went to hell and back..... he has my utter and total respect
(as long as he leaves Sam alone).

It is. Very.

Thanks for listening, Ness. You've been great. Now I've got to talk to Sam.

Yours
