X Marks the Spot

Epilogue:  Penny Lane

Jack nodded to the airman on duty outside the door of one of the rooms at the RAF hospital on the base at Akrotiri. The base was sovereign territory of the United Kingdom, and the base commander, Major General Pearson, had

Oh, hell. The Big Bads wouldn't stand a chance if Mac ever joined SG-1.

Making the galaxy safe, one paperclip at a time. *g*

Hahaha - jokes about TheHair never get old ;) Great to see Pete and George in this as well. And camels. So many nice round endings.

Also a great idea about yet another similiarity involving Mac and Jack and guns - and death.

What I wanted to ask - do you send your updates to Trix, so she doesn't miss it?

[lolmac]

Thanks!

Trix follows me on fanfic.net, so she'll see the update there. I keep hoping she'll get onto LJ as well; she does check LOLMac regularly, but does not have an LJ account.

[dieastra]

Yes, she told me she brought the Netherland flag up on third place or something!

I doubt she will join LJ. With all the things she is busy with, I don't think she has the time to find her way into yet another thing after barely getting Facebook to work. I usually post links to my longer LJ entries on Facebook and get her feedbacks there.

There Were Camels

[lothithil]

This story is LOVE! A most satisfactory concoction of MacGyver and SG-1.

If I wrote a list of all the lines I liked, I'd be guilty of plagiarism! lol

[thothmes]

"Mac! I said no camels! That's four camels, counting that cranky one there! Can't you count?!!!"

"I swear I've heard that somewhere before," muttered Mac as he tried to get the last and worst natured of the camels, who apparently went by the name of Amir el Bassam - The Smiling Prince, to move forward sometime before the millenium ended

[lolmac]

*G* Yeah, right -- the Smiling Prince. I think that camel sired a calf that they named the Spitting Image.

I love the expression 'easter egg' details!

I figured that if anyone could smooth the official feathers, it would be Pete -- especially after a squad of Air Force grunts had been through to cover up at least part of the mess. Lacie can hardly be blamed for the earthquake, after all.

I wasn't able to find out who the Director of Antiquities was in 1998 -- but the current one is female, and there are a hell of a lot of female archeologists in and around Cyprus, so I decided to go with that!

Yes, I've seen the truly awful shot of RDA in that wig -- and there's also his comments after he'd done the SNL appearance, about wanting the wigs 'put down'. I had all of that in mind. :-D

Working on the assumption that Jack is not really the village idiot, but only plays it on TV, and Mac knows this (or can figure it out, once he's no longer operating on an old bias), they could absolutely whipsaw any poor schmuck they chose.

[sg_fignewton]

This was sheer glee. :D

This line made me snicker: “How’d you make it stick? I never did figure that one out.”

This was hugely enjoyable even to someone like with only a vague knowledge of MacGyver. Thanks for a great ride!

::bounces off to rec::

Edit: And here's the rec, whee! You might want to add a link to the epilogue, though - it's not included on the previous pages yet. And thanks again for a very entertaining contribution to the Soup!

[lolmac]

Ooo! i haz a Fig Newton rec? *runs off to look*

I had, in fact, just realised that I needed to link the epilogue to both Part One and Part Three; that has now been done.

I love your expression "uncomfortable Goa'uld manipulation" in the warnings!
