/Keep it together, Kev, don't freak out,/ is what Megabyte would have told him had Megabyte been there. Unfortunately, Megabyte wasn't there. Megabyte, like Ami was trapped on some freakish god-forsaken desert island and that was the entire reason that Kevin and Paul were meeting with the military ( ... )

It was easy to lose track of time working and manipulating data. Sam lived and breathed science, taking it to the level of an art form. She could take, extrapolate, and leap to the next level as easily as -- well, even McKay had said she was brilliant, better than he in that she could -feel- it as well as make the technical moves. If there was a problem, she knew it almost instantly, and looked for a way around it; to solve it ( ... )

An hour later the five of them were finishing off the last of the pizza. Teal'c and Paul had made short work of the pepperoni pineapple pie. The humans agreed that tropical fruit did not belong on pizza ( ... )

Each took care of their own plates, Sam, O'Neill and Teal'c, putting the paper plates into the garbage, refilling glasses when needed. It had been a comfortable afternoon, pleasant evening with nothing more than work and absolutely no conversations deeper than sports teams and what to do while the colonel was 'doing her thing ( ... )

O'Neill kept Sam in the corner of his eye, gauging her reactions. Right now, as far as the scientific bit of it was concerned, she was the canary, so to speak ( ... )

Sam's enthusiasm made Paul grin. Kevin was excited as well, and O'Neill and Teal'c interested. Their benign reactions partially assuaged Paul's worry about revealing the existence of the co-locators to the military. Their strategic value was obvious ( ... )

"How do you get your co-locator here?" O'Neill asked. This situation held a certain type of familiarity. The familiarity that came with being setup and playing right into the trap. He didn't think it was a negative sort, no one was going to storm the castle, but there was a definite feeling of "backup plan."

Not that he could blame the alien-energy-but-not-Ascended-supposedly sitting in the room with them, nor could he fault Mr. Mysterious High School, correction "they're called colleges in Britain, sir," teacher because clearly the young man had all sorts of paranoid issues going on. Why, Jack didn't know and Bill hadn't been much on the all-over-with the sharing.

"This is the hard part, Jack ( ... )

Kevin hated this. He finally relaxed, mostly, around General O'Neill and Colonel Carter and the fullback alien Teal'c only to have to do this. Bill had assured him that O'Neill wouldn't pry into his means and methods, and it seemed to be the case, but Kevin couldn't quite shake the nervous tension that gripped him.

He closed the bedroom door behind him and gave the room several sweeps for bugs and listening equipment. Kevin wasn't as well trained at it as he would have liked, his insistence on such training had surprised Bill, but he hoped it was good enough.

Kevin perched on the edge of the bed. /Adam, we're ready. I need you to bring the co-locator./

/You really sure about this, Kevin?/

He didn't answer right away. No, he wasn't. Bringing Adam here like this could be bad but it had already been agreed that he wouldn't leave Paul alone with the United States Air Force. /No, not really. But Paul is willing to use it, and he's already shown them how it works. If it gets Megabyte and Ami back ( ... )

The display of the small holographic images was fascinating, and even then, she wasn't sure if it was actually a projection outwardly, or .. as odd as it sounds, inwardly. She'd stared both at the presentation where she believed it to be, and the presenters. He didn't have any devices to make the images, so... how ( ... )

Paul grinned, "Close, but no cigar." Carter's taut smile didn't reach her eyes. She wasn't amused. Paul decided to not attempt humor for a while. Despite years of living among humans he had difficulty determining when humor was appropriate.

Kevin, who looked decidedly on edge, handed the co-locator to Paul. He accepted it with a verbal thanks. /Please thank Adam for me. I appreciate the chance you both took./ Meanwhile the Air Force soldiers scrutinized the foot-tall device. Its silvery curves returned their distorted reflections.

"That's it?" O'Neill drawled.

Paul nodded. "It is." He set the co-locator down in the middle of the table. The ease with which he lifted it suggested its scant weight. Sam looked ready to lunge at it. "Go ahead," he invited. Paul doubted that any of the soldiers would try to take the device -- at least until their men had been rescued -- and there was little they do to break it.

Kevin sat down, watched Colonel Carter and tried not to notice how Teal'c and O'Neill watched him. Well, they watched both he and Paul, and it was a bit disconcerting at how easily the two managed to divide their attention.

The third time he tried to covertly glance at the other alien in the room out of the corner of his eye, Teal'c caught his gaze and gave him a polite nod. Kevin immediately looked away.

"Oh get on with it already, Carter," O'Neill sounded and felt both amused and exasperated. "He gave you carte blanc to go to your happy place with it." Embarrassment followed those words, and the Not So Usual Air Force General waved at them all, "You know what I mean."

O'Neill checked his watch and added with some urgency, "New episode of The Simpsons tonight, you know?"
