Why This Must Be Read: Watching SG-1 tag-team someone is always fun. Watching S1 Maybourne getting taken down a peg with flawless teamwork? Comedy gold!
When the real SG-1 come back through the Gate at the end of Tin Man, they find Colonel Maybourne, still smarting from the loss of the Tollan in Enigma, waiting to take robot!SG-1 into custody so he can literally find out what makes them tick. But in he’s in for a disappointment...
Full disclaimer: Aelfgyfu wrote this after some discussion at redial_the_gate, mostly after I asked for it. It’s still priceless. :)
"General,” Maybourne said after a deep breath and a few quick steps to take him as far from the others as he could be and still carry on a more or less normal conversation, “my orders are to study the androids! We need to get them back!”
“Oh, we can’t do that,” Carter said ingenuously. “They need to stay on their planet, or they run out of power.”
“I’m sure we could work out something to-to borrow them!”
“Maybe so!” Daniel said with some enthusiasm.
Oh, hell. What was the archaeologist up to now?
Maybourne looked at Hammond, sparing only a brief sideways glance at Jackson.
“I’m sure Harlan would love to meet you!” the younger man continued, and O’Neill realized where this was headed. Oh, he loved his team.
