Stargate Command

"Sir Welcome to the SGC" an aide said to him as he entered the complex.

"I've been here before" Andrew replied dryly. They let him go yet now they drag him back.

"Really?" the aide said, his eyes went wide.. it was like the man was searching for the right thing to say. Andrew couldn't help himself.

"Yes. Really." he said rolling his eyes. Man he missed shooting things in Ida. But things happen.. Like him being thrown back here.. Just because he had a 'problem' with the American General in charge, it wasn't Andrew's fault the man had no idea who to deal with an alien force parading around a base with defenceless Asgard getting in the way.

"Oh well sir.. This way please" he said as they got to the elevator. As it started going down, Andrew started whistling while rocking forwards and backwards on his feet. The aide just stared at him.

"What?" Andrew asked.

"Nothing sir.. nothing" the man replied.

"No no out with it.. come on, its not that hard to tell a superior officer he's gone completely nuts" Andrew said with a small smirk appearing.

The man got the hint and stayed quiet. 'Bugger' Andrew thought as the lift stoped. As they stepped out Andrew spoke in a medium level of voice. "I'm back" he said to the people in the walkway, none he recognised.

"That be right.. They begged to get me.. and now I'm back I'm bloody forgotten.. people these days" Andrew started muttering which made the aide even more nervous..

As they stepped into the briefing room he recognised one man sitting there.. the other was a Major General. Andrew dropped his bags and stood at attention.

"Lt Colonel Johnson, Australian Army. Reporting for duty... again" he said muttering the last bit. The two generals looked at each other..

"Have a seat Colonel.. welcome back" said Landry.

"Thank you sir.." Andrew said getting a seat, funny enough it was the same one he sat in before he left for the Ida Galaxy.

"Your here to teach cadets in Stargate Combat tactics" Landry said.

"Cadets?" Andrew asked

"Yes our best and brightest" the other man replied.

"No field work? No leading people through the gate to kick arse?" he asked again.

"No.. Cadet work.. you will help them in the field" the other man replied. Andrew could tell he was slightly annoyed.

"Your best and brightest?" Andrew asked again..

"Yes.. America's best Air Force cadets" the man said a bit happier and proud to say that.

"Great" Andrew mumbled. He could tell the general heard that too, his happiness faded quickly.

"All due respect.. But I'm a combat man.. I don't like teaching, the ADF would only give me ADFA teaching area because they couldn't put me anywhere else.. To them I was off the map.. for 1 year." he said rather hotly.

"I Understand that Colonel.. But you have to understand.. We needed you somewhere where we could get you if need be. We need you now because of your experienced." Landry replied.

"Well you could have said go back to Iraq and we will beam you back" Andrew said. "But since I got no choice.. where are these B and B's?" Andrew asked.

"Currently on a mission. They will be back soon" the other General said as the Stargate started spinning, and the sirens started. The two men got up and left the room. Andrew got up slowly and walked to the window. He saw some young 'kids' he would say come through the gate. "I guess not" Andrew said shrugging his shoulders. He returned to his seat. But moved his bag under the table.

Cadet Master Sergent William Henderson came out from the wormhole backwards he had just come face to face with a live kull warior and was glad to be able to live to tell the tale he still held his P-90 towards the wormhole of the atcive Stargate his whole hand was shaking from what was hapening and was hoping nothing had gone wrong with anyone else on the no one had emerged yet. William was slowly walking backwards down the ramp still in the same position that he was when he first arrived he didn't even though his first trip through the Stargate was to end like this not watching what he was doing he tripped on the railings and fell on the ground with a loud thud thankfully he hadn't pulled the trigger on his P-90 the whole time William managed to get up on his feat he looked arond in embarrassment knowing that he might be the first and only ne that tripped and fell on the ramp not even going into the stargate.

Peterson opens his eyes and realises he is in the Med Bay,

Was this really needed? I mean its a friggin leg

"How are you feeling?"[/i], one of the doctors asks Peterson,

"Fine, can I walk to the de-briefing now?", Peterson asks the doctor,

"Yes, But take it easy, your leg took a fair beating, the de-briefing starts soon, I'll inform General Landry that you will be coming up"[/i], the doctor replies as Peterson jumps out of the bed and puts on his SG-Team Jacket and his pants that were nice and new,

"Thanks Doc", Peterson says walking out of the Med Bay and into the hallway heading for the Briefing Room.

Peterson walks up the stairs into the Briefing Room,

"Cadet Major Jack Peterson Reporting Sir!", Peterson yells as he snaps to attention and salutes the officers in the room,

"Take a Seat Major"[/i], General Landry says to Peterson,

Peterson makes his way to the seat opposite the Lieutenant Colonel,

"So, Major, you say that you encountered a Kull Warrior,"[/i], General Landry asks Peterson,

"Yesir, He attempted to kill me before I could get to the top of the cliff and back to the Stargate, Luckly, I packed a Kull Disruptor just in-case we encountered one, I managed to kill the Kull but got shot in the process"[/i], Peterson explains to the General,

"I will be sending a team to recheck the planet for more Kull Warriors, Until they return, SGA-1 and 4, Get some rest or do some study, Oh and Everyone, this is Lieutenant Colonel Andrew Johnson, he has transferred from ADFA to join you Cadets"[/i], General Landry explains to the teams,

"Nice to meet you Lieutenant Colonel Johnson, I'm Cadet Major Jack Peterson, United States Air Force Cadet and Commanding Officer of SGA-1", Peterson says to the Lieutenant Colonel.

Gateroom

William had been in the briefing room the whole time Peterson and General Landry where speaking though hadn't said a word since he arrived except to the nurse who came by the gate and made sure he was alright he only had a cut in his arm when the kull Warrior had sliced his arm it wasn't badly damaged but it still hurt from where it first happened. "He didn't give us a chance to really do anything General Landry." William added. "Understandable." General Landry replied to William.

Stargate Command
Briefing Room

Andrew saw the man hobble in. But he seemed to be in good shape. Andrew closed the folder he had pertaining to the mission. 'Some people never learn' He thought.

"Cadet Major Jack Peterson Reporting Sir!", Peterson yells as he snaps to attention and salutes the officers in the room,

"Take a Seat Major", General Landry says to Peterson,

The young man sat on the other side of him near the other cadet. All of the cadets were there. SGA-1 and 4, and SGA-1's AOC.

"So, Major, you say that you encountered a Kull Warrior,", General Landry asks Peterson,

"Yesir, He attempted to kill me before I could get to the top of the cliff and back to the Stargate, Luckly, I packed a Kull Disruptor just in-case we encountered one, I managed to kill the Kull but got shot in the process", Peterson explains to the General,

"I will be sending a team to recheck the planet for more Kull Warriors, Until they return, SGA-1 and 4, Get some rest or do some study, Oh and Everyone, this is Lieutenant Colonel Andrew Johnson, he has transferred from ADFA to join you Cadets", General Landry explains to the teams,

"Nice to meet you Lieutenant Colonel Johnson, I'm Cadet Major Jack Peterson, United States Air Force Cadet and Commanding Officer of SGA-1", Peterson says to the Lieutenant Colonel.

"Yes, Well from what I got from Cadet Henderson's report is that you decided to become a one man army" he said raising his eyebrow a bit. He turned to the two generals. "Should we tell them?" he asked

< Cadets>

"It was a test Cadet.. A test you seemed to have failed, I see no area of team work.. The Kull warrior was a Tok'ra wearing the armor.. since we couldn't get our people to wear it. The weapon you shouldn't have. But seemed to have got was luckily powered down. The Tok'ra I believe is still alive." he said shaking his head. "Rule #17 - 'Always trust your team. they may save your arse'" Andrew said simply.

"The mission was teamwork.. Since you are the Cadet Major, the team leader.. You could have got your team killed. Because of this.. Leave is cancelled. Maybe some more time together will get some team spirit up." He said getting up from his seat. " We put time into that mission planning and you ruined it. Congratulations team.." he said sarcastically.

He gave a respectful nod to the two Generals. "If you excuse me sir's I have a report to write on this." he said before looking at the cadets. "And I want one from all of you. Including what would you do If you have had Command " he said before walking away. His bag had already been moved to his quarters. 'Well this started out as bad as the new recruits at ADFA' He thought as he walked down the hallway.

[Jack Peterson]

Sir with all due respect, I made my team get back through the gate to make sure none of them would get killed, In my own view, I did the right thing, so what, I didn't order my team to help me kill the Kull Warrior, As long as my team is safe I don't really care if I get killed, In my view I was protecting my team, not making myself a one man army", Peterson explains with anger in his voice.

< Tag Andrew >

Not like he's my AOC, I know I did the right thing, no-one can tell my otherwise

Peterson gets up, snaps to Attention and Salutes the Officers, then walks out the door and down to the Change Rooms.

"Sir with all due respect, I made my team get back through the gate to make sure none of them would get killed, In my own view, I did the right thing, so what, I didn't order my team to help me kill the Kull Warrior, As long as my team is safe I don't really care if I get killed, In my view I was protecting my team, not making myself a one man army", Peterson explains with anger in his voice.

Andrew kept walking, the Cadet still didn't understand and now he was making it worst. Andrew waited in a side-hallway until the cadet came past. Putting him arm out blocking the mans path, Andrew stood very close, face to face.


"Let me tell you the sesame street version since you can't get it through your head, Cadet. You went out there to engage a so called Kull warrior, it wasn't even your mission parameter.. Yours was scouting and then learning and adapting.. Not gung-ho charging with a bloody P-90. The mission was designed for you to realised you need the talents of every member of your team to make it. "

"How can you even step into the role as a Co without understanding you team member's. The word you need to realise is backup.. Though you may think you can take on an army, you can not. You say you were protecting you team, is that right? Well explain to me how you going to protect them if your dead CADET?" he said his voice raising slightly.

"I'm amazed the Tok'ra didn't kick the crap out of you.. You deserve it.. Let me put a few thoughts into your mind, assuming you can handle it. What would have happened if you failed" he said with the last word being a whisper. He turned around and started heading to his quarters again.

"best of the best he said, what a load of bull" Andrew said loudly enough for the cadet. The kid was lucky he wasn't even in a real war. His own side would probably shoot him for incompetence.

Melissa followed Andrew out of the briefing room she listened to what Andrew had just said he was right in a waywithour the leadership that was needed the entire team would have been killed though she didn't want to say anything she was only an cadet Airmen the lowest of the cadets and didn't want to step over her mark with this one she just listened for now.

"At least both teams got back alive and not dead! I risked my ass out there making sure they got back here alive, I don't really care what you have to say!", Peterson yells at Johnson.

Peterson stood infront of his open locker,

I should've just friggin got everyone to help kill that Kull Warrior

"Will Cadet Major Jack Peterson report to General Landry's Office Immediately"[/u][/i], Peterson hears Walter say over the loudspeaker,

What now...

1358
Stargate Command
General Hank Landry's Office

Peterson knocks on the door to the General's Office,

"Come in Major"[/i], Peterson hears the General say from inside,

Peterson opens the door and enters the office,

"What you need Sir?", Peterson asks the General,

"I want you to take SGA-1 out on a little recon, back on the planet, we found some strange readings on the far side of the planet, you should leave immediately"[/i], the General explains to Peterson,

"Yesir, I'll have SGA-1 in the gateroom at 1415 Hours", Peterson says as he snaps to attention, salutes and walks out of the office closing the door behind him.

Peterson walks into the Stargate Operations room,

"Walter, tell SGA-1 that I want them in the Gateroom in 15 minutes to be ready to go off-world", Peterson tells Walter,

"Will do Major"[/i], Walter replies as Peterson walks out the door and down the hallways into the Armory.

"At least both teams got back alive and not dead! I risked I disagree out there making sure they got back here alive, I don't really care what you have to say!", Peterson yells at Johnson.

"Cadet Peterson, It seems your under the mistaken idea that we are on the same level.. And again what I have been saying has ricocheted off you like a bullet.. Stand at attention when a superior officer talks to you" he said waiting, he had enough being nice.

"I tried to help you. I tried to guide you, and what do you do.. Yell at me. never in my entire career have I heard anyone yell at their superior officer. Unless it was in a battle you can't hear each other" he looked around only seeing another Cadet. "It doesn't look like we are in battle doesn't it. So you will address me properly. I might or might not write a report, but if one goes through say goodbye to your bars. No one wants a person who doesn't listen when advice is given.. and no one wants a one man hero on their team. Oh and another thing.. Lets see I'm the Lt Colonel, years of experience.. been to another Galaxy and here comes a stupid cadet. Who has the more say? By the way, I command the Cadet group.. so you have to answer to me either way. Dismissed" Andrew said before walking off.

Armoury

"Ready?", Peterson asks the pair.

"Lets hope you are" Andrew said as he walked in. "I have decided to come with you on this little adventure." he said getting a M4 Carbine with armour piercing rounds. He Also grabbed a Kull Disruptor. "My team will be with yours..I need to see how good Aquarius's Team Leader is" he said letting his cadets choose what they want. "Lets move it" he said as he walked out. He had a Blackhawk omega vest, which was lightweight and didn't restrict his movement. "I'll wait for you in in the Gate room" he said before leaving. Whatever the cadet did this mission, would reflect on the report Andrew was in the middle of writing.

"I'll wait for you in in the Gate room" he said before leaving.

William grabbed a P-90 and a vest he was in the middle of putting it on when he herd Andrew speak. "understand sir." William replied to Andrew he also grabbed a Zat gun just to be on the safe side of things he walked out of the armoury and quickly found Andrew there at the gate.

1401

William walked towards Andrew even though he spoken very little words to Andrew William stopped and turned to him. "Ready and waiting orders sir." William explained to Andrew as he waited for Andrews reply and the rest of the team to show up.

Peter hadn't met the teams ACO yet but herd he was allready making firworkds amonst the cadets tredding carfully Peter suited up and broaght along a few extra clips for his P-90. Once arriving at the gateroom he found Andrew and another cadet William allready t go. "Sir Cadet Major Peter West reporting as ordered." Peter said as he slauted Andrew.

<Andrew>

"Ready and waiting orders sir." Cadet Henderson said as he was fidgeting with his weapon..

"Sir Cadet Major Peter West reporting as ordered." another young cadet said as he saluted Andrew.

"Cadets, Mr West you will also have to impress me, What I've already seen today.. I don't think that would be hard" he said with a slight sarcastic tone. He was giving all the Cadets a chance to do what they need to do. The Cadets were assembling, Andrew found it funny that Cadet Peterson tried to take over every situation.. He hoped the young man would learn, Andrew couldn't shoot the man as he didn't have a zat on him. He smiled at the thought in his head. The gate started dialling and Andrew just stood there. He hoped the other cadet teams were different.

"Chevron One encoded" he heard the tech say.

"Cadets, Mr West you will also have to impress me, What I've already seen today.. I don't think that would be hard"

"Understood sir." William replied to Andrew he turned back to the Stargate and watched it spin around and locked the chevrons into place he had only seen this happen twice by far and both of them where today even though a few hours apart.

"Chevron Two encoded" william herd a voice say behind him.

They always say fifteen minutes, but really what they mean is get your butt to the gate ASAP ready to go. Malachi could hear Chevron Three locking into place as he entered the Gate Room. Taurus had already been chewed out already that day. And all he had done was guard the gate and then dial home when they left. Hopefully this recon mission would be better
