Ficlet:SGA:Checkmate: Briefing
Exterior: Atlantis balcony. Jack O'Neill and John Sheppard stand on a balcony, watching the sunset.
"A cat, huh? You've done an insect and a mammal now. Stay the hell away from the fish, Colonel."
John gazes out over the balcony at the ocean. "Actually, McKay is more into fish. Excuse me, aquatic mammals. Whales. Named one Sam."
"Oh, Jeez, don't tell me stuff like that!"
"Sorry, sir."
There's a long, long pause as they gaze out to sea.
"Excellent blackmail material, though."
John smirks, "Just what I was thinking."
Jack snorts. "Good man. Just stay out of the catnip, you hear?"
John smiles and nods. "Not a problem, sir."
"Don't have the gene?"
"Something like that."
