After a good two weeks of downtime back on the homeworld, Samarra sat in the commissary, looking over some old mission reports that were given to her to prepare her for the mission ahead. In the morning, she would be boarding the Odyessy at 0600, destined for the Ida Galaxy for God only knows how long. Things like this did not bother her, or at least, would not bother her right this very moment, because right now she had updated her iPod with the latest music that she had missed out on when off-world. There were nearly 1,000 new songs on her iPod now. After all, she did not know the next time she would be back on this little blue planet. She had to make it last.

At the moment, her foot was bouncing around madly to the rhythms of some catchy, techno-y little tune that scrolled across the screen. Yes, she knew she would be turning 30 within the next year, but that didn't mean that she had to stick to all 80's mixes. Sometimes, she still felt as though she were 18 years old, partying it up in high school. Ah, those were the days...

As she read and jammed, she would occaisionally lift a spoonful of orange jello to her mouth, another hot commodity that the Delta Site (and she could only assume the Odyessy) lacked. It was her favorite. And she would enjoy these last few hours of Earth.

Thinking back to the past two weeks, she smiled. She had taken a nice drive down to Baja California and spent several days lying in the sand. It was nice to relax and get some sunlight. Something told her that as the new Chief of Intelligence on the Ida Task Force, she would not be seeing very much sunlight for a while. Pushing that out of her mind, she thought of those few nights in the bars there, drinking tequila and talking to some exotic characters. It was nice. It was a drastic change from what became "the norm" for her these past few years. Once again, there was no telling when she would see a beach again.

The song changed to something a bit slower and Samarra looked at the iPod. The battery icon was nearly depleated and she scrunched her nose at this. Oh well, I'll charge it until morning, I suppose, she thought, turning off the power to the device altogether. Pulling the earbuds out of her ears, she heard the sounds of everyday life in the Commissary. Some marines were laughing over in the corner; a waiter dropped a tray of glasses, which shattered beautifully on the tile floor. It went quiet shortly after that, but the commotion soon returned to its normal level. Glancing back down at her files, she sighed. Even though she had been looking at them for quite some time now, she had not actually been reading them. She had been distracted.

It's not like I won't have a good 3 weeks to finish reading these aboard the ship, she thought ruefully, and closed the file, seeing the imprinted emblem of the fallen Icarus on the front..

[Destiny "Silverwing" Andre]

2119
SGC Commissary
Cheyenne Mountain Complex
Earth

Captain Destiny Andre had just come back from a short leave visiting a few close friends, not only in the Stargate Program, but also in other parts of the country. Actually the two people she visited whenever there was leave were the two people that were the most important in her life right now and use to be not only in the Stargate program, but also stationed in the Delta site the same as her. The first was Ayden Sheppard. The woman who was not only her best friend, but was also the one person that she owed her life to getting her started in this program. Ayden had been the one to come up to her and talk about the program. Since their time together on SGC, the two had become best of friends.

The second person was the young man that once was Destiny's everything almost and the one person she had ever had the strongest feelings for. That was Kevin Phillips, the one man that still held a huge part of her heart. After dating for seven months, then him getting captured then being found again but brainwashed had not only taken a toll on him, but their relationship as well. Kevin took an honorable discharge and was living back home with his mother working in the family's auto body shop. The two were still very very close. Every time she had leave, Destiny was down in Georgia visiting him and his family. The pilot knew she belonged there, but the love this female had for her job was too much to just give it all up and Kevin understood that. There was still tons of connection between the two. It was true, Destiny still did love Kevin, but right now in her point of life, it wasn't time for them again. They both agreed when she did come out of the Air force they would try again if they both hadn't already found someone. It was hard, but mutual at the same time.

Stepping back into the SGC, it felt like home. The young woman felt that any time she stepped back into a place that was surrounded by the Stargate program. After being in it for almost three years now, it was hard to go a day without it. The place that was most like home was the Icarus and everyone on it. That was the place that, even though there was always something going on, still felt as peace at the end of it all. Even if something ever did happen to the Icarus, still staying with the people on it met more than anything.

Walking into the Commissary, the pilot grabbed a cup of coffee then looked around. She was going to be staying here just a day or two to catch up with some friends that she made on her time off from the Delta site. Noticing a familiar red head, the young captain made her way over the table. "I knew I would found you here," stated sliding into the seat beside Samarra, the young woman she had become close with on her time off from Delta, "And what are you doing taking a look at the file from the ship I happen to be on?" She grinned taking a sip of the coffee. This was going to be like old times.

"I knew I would find you here," a familiar voice chimed. Sam looked up at her friend and laughed lightly at the coffee in her hand. As she sat down, Sam noticed that she saw the blue file folder on the table. "And what are you doing taking a look at the file from the ship I happen to be on?"

Finishing her last spoonful of that heavenly orange jello with a smile, she responded, "Well, it looks like you will be the first to hear the news: I have been transferred to the Ida Task Force. General Landry offered me the position of Chief Intelligence Officer and I finished signing the papers this morning."

<Tag Des>

Samarra couldn't help but beam at her friends enthusiasm at having her on the team. It had been quite some time ago when they were both assigned to the SGC. It would be good to see a familiar face in another galaxy. Over the years, their friendship had developed from a bit of territorial rivalry to a mutual respect then ultimately to both seeing each other as a confidante. It also helped that they were both of the same rank these days, that way none of that sticky chain-of-command mess got in the way.

"So, give me the scoop. These files don't cover what really matters, and I'm sure after your time there you know a lot more about these guys than what I have read in their files." A devilish grin wriggled across her face as she turned her body to face Des, propping her elbow on the table and twirling a strand of hair around her finger as she listened.

[Robert "Scarecrow" Cromin]

2110 - 2121
SGC Commissary
Cheyenne Mountain Complex
Earth

Captain Cromin walked into the commisary tired, dressed in jeans, boots, a t-shirt and a jacket. It had been a long flight from Somalia, Africa back to the U.S. He'd just come back from a Black Ops mission, the assasination of the Somalian Warlord, Elkani Talani. This was the man that had not only kidnapped a former team mate, 1st Lieutenant Bryce Eragun and his wife during their honeymoon in Kenya but had killed his wife in his presence and subsequently chopped of his head and sent it to a United States Military base nearby. This was where DNA evidence confirmed the head to be that of Lieutenant Bryce Eragun of the 720th Special Tactics group (STG). Talani had done the beheading on the internet and dared anyone to come after him; because of all the beheadings that he had done and does on a regular basis, he was known as Elkani the butcher or the Butcher of Talani, the little town where he grew up and named himself after.

Captain Cromin was called back to Earth for a mission that he wasn’t given any details about. On arrival his former Unit commander, Colonel Jerry Stone met him at the Stargate and immediately started briefing him on his mission- the assassination of Elkani Talani, “the butcher of Talani”. Although Talani had been on Pentagon’s most wanted list for a while, they had just finally gotten intel on where Talani has been hiding and the Colonel knew that the best person to send was Captain Cromin not just because he was good at his job but because it was personal to the unit, to his team and also to him. Cromin and Eragun had grown up together and entered the academy together; they had been friends all their lives. Officially Cromin had gone to eliminate the threat that Talani posed to the region but unofficially he had gone to give Talani a note from Colonel Stone and the rest of his team; after which Talani was eliminated.


Captain Cromin upon arrival at the SGC from Somalia got a message that Colonel Stone was waiting for him in the commissary. With his backpack still in hand he went to go see the Colonel. He went into the commissary but he did not see the Colonel but he was directed to a table with a small cake and a candle on it. It was Cromin’s birthday and he had forgotten completely; not to blame him, he had been in the thick of a very complicated mission the last few days. As soon as he sat down, someone walked to his table dressed in full Air force military uniform, as he looked up it was Colonel Stone. The Colonel sat across the table from the Captain and said “blow out your candle and make a wish.” The Captain responded saying “the only thing I wish for right now sir is light years away but I will still make that wish anyways.” The Captain blew out the candle, closed his eyes and wished that he could see Destiny somehow. As he opened up his eyes there Destiny was walking into the commissary; he laughed and the Colonel turned around to see what was making him laugh “ah I see, that would be your wish I believe; well let’s get down to business so that I can let you go attend to your business over there, good job airman, keep it quiet. Anyways Captain, I believe you have a birthday card for me.” The Captain responded “Yes sir, one minute” He pulled out a deck of cards from his backpack and sifted through them until he found the one with the picture he was looking for. It was crossed out with an X; he tossed it over to the Colonel who looked at it and put it in the file in front of him. “Good job Captain, I believe mission accomplished?” “Yes sir, mission accomplished. If you don’t mind sir I need to go attend to other things.” The Colonel responded “Feel free Captain, your Job here is done. I will see you much later.”

With that the Captain stood up from his chair carrying his cake and the wet flowers he grabbed from a nearby table. He walked quietly to where Destiny was sitting down and he began blushing all the way there. By this time Destiny was sitting with another lady as they were engaged in conversation. Cromin walked behind Destiny, dropped the flower and cake in front of her on her table and said somethings he had said to her a while back when they were still on the Icarus together before he got posted to a field team.

"I have this problem and it involves butterflies in my stomach. So I came up with this Op that I kinda need your help with; it involves us falling in love- you letting me love you and you loving me back. Your smile breaks my heart into a thousand places, and I have prayed for the day where I would get to see you again. I know we are a long way from being in Love and all, so the short term plan tonight is for you to have dinner with me, it’s my birthday and I want to tell you the million ways I am crushing on you and what loving me would be like. You are still the most beautiful woman in the room, and I see candle lights in our future. And just like the French would say -Mademoiselle, Il n'est rien de réel que le rêve et l'amour- nothing is real but dreams and love... “

Nolen sat in a corner not to far away from the rest. I't was the first time back to earth in ages and oddly the only thing on his mind was not flying or his command but of the news he had received on their return here. Unfortunately during their last mission Former Captain Law and SD-6 had rescued SD-7 but Dr Owen had been seriously injured and was taking to a ICU outside the mountain. Nolen was worrying like crazy. He was obliged to stay here, but he wanted to go see here. He had the report in front of him, and Marah Law had promised to check up on her on her way back. Nolen looked up as Robert came in and started to talk to Des. He ignored it and went back to his own glumness. Even Jason and Lisa had given up trying to cheer him up.

[Kevin "Hawk" Phillips]

SGC Commissary

Earth

It had been awhile since Kevin had been within the SGC Complex when he wasn't here for medical reasons. Now he was actually getting ready to go back to the Delian Galaxy, he was finally leaving Earth and going back where he considered home even if his mom wasn't going to be there. He was a Marine and this was his life. Dressed in his digi camo pants, a black t-shirt and his shined black boots he strode through the hallways toward the Commissary. He was hungry and what better place to go to get something to eat then there? Plus, he had heard that some people from the Delian galaxy were back - mostly the crew from the new ship and he wanted to meet up with them, catch up on everything that had been happening over there.

Walking through the doors he glanced around, running a hand through his bar minimum length hair and that's when he spotted the group of familiar looking military personnel. As he walked up behind them he heard the last of what the Captain, Cromin Kevin believed his name was had said to Destiny and he chuckled softly as he walked up behind Destiny. "With all due respect sir, last I checked Captain Andre hates mushy guys. It's kind of a turn off to her, sir." He spoke up clearly and precisely with a small smirk on his face before glancing over at Destiny then back to Cromin. "First Lieutenant Kevin Phillips, new Security Officer on the Aenid, sir. I take it you're Captain Cromin?"

Kevin had been doing a lot of reading regarding the new personnel and wanted to make sure that he knew everyone in and out. He would be working with these men and women and he needed to know what each one specialized in so that he knew where to go if the time called for it. He himself was a recon solider, a security officer, a medic and a mechanic. He was a jack of all trades and a master of none. Military Police was his specality, that was probably why he was chosen to be a security officer on the ship. "Captain Andre, I heard about your promotion to executive officer, congratulations, ma'am."

Cromin trying to surprise Des had just finished saying very mushy and funny things to her when He heard a voice from behind him not waiting for Destiny's response obviously ruining the surprise saying "With all due respect sir, last I checked Captain Andre hates mushy guys. It's kind of a turn off to her, sir." Cromin kinda irritated just a little bit but not really wanting to show it turned around and said laughingly "Who the heck are you soldier?" The man behind him said "First Lieutenant Kevin Phillips, new Security Officer on the Aenid, sir. I take it you're Captain Cromin?" Cromin who became quiet for a second started reading the body language of the Lieutenant in front of him; With a smirk on his face he saw his eyes wander towards Destiny for a second and then back at him. Cromin obviously noticed that and knew something was going on.

But he played along calmly saying "Yes I am Captain Cromin, what can I do for you soldier?"

Destiny had to shake her head in amazement that all the places that Samarra was getting stationed in was the Task Force. It was funny how things work out like that in this program. The person you would least except to be on your team would probably be the very person you saw the next day. It happened like that many of times when it came to friends this pilot knew.

"Really all you got to know is these guys are complete Teddy bears but can be grizzlies, so don't get on their bad side and do what you're told," started to say then paused and took a sip of the coffee before continuing. "Don't let them fool you off duty. They are Teddy bears. The only other girl on the Task Force is Samantha and she is really cool; complete genius but also sarcastic. Again another person not to get on their bad side. She is a great friend though. So once you want her on your side not against." It was really funny to describe these people that this female spent every day of her life with. These were the people that were to be relied on day in and day out for anything. They were the ones that she could go to for anything and knew would be there in a heart beat.

Just as the captain was about to continue on, a familiar voice came from behind; a voice that hadn't be heard in ages. Robert Cormin use to be one of the pilots on the squadron that this auburn woman was XO. Before leaving, he had confessed feelings that would have ultimately cost them their jobs. It was dangerous having relationships in the military, but even more dangerous when it was on the same team. The young woman had to be honest, since he left didn't really have time to think about perusing a relationship with Cromin.

The words that were slipping from the male captain's mouth did made a crimson color explode on the cheeks, but it was another familiar voice that made the eyes grow wide. It was a voice that she could easily pick out of the crowd. Turning, the pilot's jaw dropped. There stood the young man that still made her heart skip a beat and butterflies stir in the stomach. There stood Kevin Phillips, the Lieutenant that swept this captain off her feet. Words and thoughts escaped the mind as she just sat there in complete shock. It was just three weeks ago they had seen each other and nothing was said about him being at the SGC or being active in the Marines again. The expression on her face had to be priceless. Not all superior offices were graceful all the time.

Kevin couldn't help but smile inwardly as he glanced from Cromin to Destiny. It had been far too long since he had been around familiar faces, let alone be in uniform getting ready to go back home. He straightened his jacket as he looked at Cromin's face change as he spoke. When Cromin asked if there was anything he could do for Kevin the young man's brow furrowed slightly. "Well, sir. First off it would be great if you were to stop flirting with my girlfriend." He responded coolly, not moving his gaze from Cromin at all. At least not until he caught the look that crossed Destiny's face and he smiled slightly. "Apart from that there's nothing else that needs to be done, sir." Kevin stated, nodding his head slightly before turning his gaze to Destiny.

What was only a minute passing by seemed like hours. Destiny hardly heard what was said till the word girlfriend came through the ears. Did he really say girlfriend? What did I miss! thought then some how pulled it all together. With a quick shake of the head, the female captain just smiled softly at Kevin then looked at Cromin with a hurt look. "Surprise? You have been on SD-4 that were was really no way to tell you. Plus since I just got word that he was coming back," explained but then said the last part looking at Kevin confused. They needed to talk in private because it was bothering her that he would not have mentioned this before.

"OH Samarra, I would like for you to meet Robert Cromin, the XO of SD-4 and Kevin Phillips, the new Security Officer of the Aeneid," smiled introducing them all then looked at the guys. "Fellas, I would you to meet one of my dear friend, Samarra Blackwell, the new Intelligence Office of the Aeneid." Though she was looking at the guys, most of the gaze was still on Kevin. The young woman knew that he could read the expression. It was one of shock, surprise, and complete confusion. What the heck was he doing back? And why didn't he tell her? Oh this was definitely something that Kevin would pull. He loved being a step ahead of her. Destiny might out rank Kevin, but he was always ahead of the game in some way.

Kevin hadn't told Destiny that he had come back. Hell, he hadn't even told her that he was off of his Medical Leave. He had wanted to keep it as a surprise and wanted to completely surprise her to no end and apparently that's what he had done. He saw the look on her face as she spoke and he could read right through the act she was putting on to go along with him. "It's nice to meet you, ma'am." Kevin said politely, his southern accent deep in his voice as he tore his eyes from Destiny to the other female officer that Destiny had introduced to the group.

After a few long moments Kevin turned his head to look at the group once more. "Ma'ams, Sir if you'll excuse me I must get going. It was nice speaking to all of you." He stated with a respectful nod before turning and heading for the entrance. Hopefully Destiny would take that as a cue to follow him out so that they could talk. But then again she might not. You never know.

Hearing Kevin's accent caused Destiny's heart to melt in a blob right there. His accent again was one of the many things that caused this female to fall head over heels for him. He was a complete gentleman and could hardly believe that no girl had ever dated him before she came along. Shock was still etched on that face of this captain. The fact that he could really pull a fast one like this was amazing. It was a dream coming true and yes it was a constant dream of hers. The dream that he would come walking into the place and would sweep her off the feet, kind of like that out of a movie scene. Well this was pretty close to that dream. Here was Kevin, standing there looking like he had never taken a medical leave at all; like he had been here for ages and was waiting to spend time with her, like nothing ever happened. It was enough to make this young woman smile at that thought because if this was a dream, she didn't want to wake up ever.

Hearing that Kevin was leaving, Des picked up on the hidden hint. "Excuse me Robert, Samarra. I'll be back," smiled standing up and heading for the door, only to stop for a moment to see a figure sitting at a table across the room. Nolen sat there looking less than his usual cheerful self. Making a note to talk to him, Destiny followed Kevin out of the Commissary only to grab his arm and pull him down the hall and into a spare room off to the side.

Cromin having had his surprise ruined by Kevin had turned to him asking the Lieutenant in front of him what he needed him for and his response with a smile on his face was "Well, sir. First off it would be great if you were to stop flirting with my girlfriend." That statement kinda caught the captain off gaurd but then he was an operator, he played it cool smiling and then looked over at Destiny who looked like she was in shock. Her face betrayed her emotions and it was saying that although she was excited to see Robert, there was something definitely between her and Kevin that was at the least unfinished and at the most full on.

The Lieutenant continued "Apart from that there's nothing else that needs to be done, sir." Cromin then looked at Destiny, obviously he was shocked but he played it cool like usual, and laughed quietly to himself thinking "Here we go again with this same girl, what's this, the third time that something keeps happening."

It was clear that Destiny was quite happy to see Kevin although she was shocked from what Robert deduced to be the girlfried statement he made but Destiny turned to Robert with a hurt look on his face and said "Surprise? You have been on SD-4 that were was really no way to tell you. Plus since I just got word that he was coming back," Robert Laughed quietly and he smiled profusely looking down at the ground for a second and then looking at Destiny while putting his hand on his heart saying to Destiny "that hurts." Destiny not wanting to respond to Robert's statement or probably she did not hear him continued talking as he introduced the guys to Sam "OH Samarra, I would like for you to meet Robert Cromin, the XO of SD-4 and Kevin Phillips, the new Security Officer of the Aeneid, Fellas, I would you to meet one of my dear friend, Samarra Blackwell, the new Intelligence Office of the Aeneid" Robert responded saying "nice to meet you Sam, you don't mind if I call you that do you?" Before Samarra could respond to Robert, Lieutenant Phillips said "Ma'ams, Sir if you'll excuse me I must get going. It was nice speaking to all of you." Robert laughed again, holding his stomach this time as he sat down at the table. He couldn't believe all of this was happening but it was all funny and interesting to him. Phillips as he was leaving gave a cue for Destiny to follow and she followed him as he left. She looked puzzled as she excused herself from the table.

Robert who was still smiling then turned to Samarra and said as he pointed to his cake "want some cake Sam, it's my birthday."
Robert obviously thinking his day was going much better when he forgot that it was his birthday shook his head thinking what a day it has been.

Samarra could not help but grin as Des began "debriefing" her on the guys who worked on the Task Force. Almost as if on cue, a captain about the same age as both of them came over and launched into a speech that would have earned an Oscar...or at least a Daytime Emmy. The whole time, Samarra just sat there with the finger that was twirling a bit of hair frozen in place, her eyes switching from the captain to Des with slight confusion and the utmost amusement.

Then, another officer approached, and just like out of a soap opera, the banter began. Samarra blinked. Was this really happening? Glancing at Des, she realized that the girl could barely take her eyes off of Phillips. His announcement of their relationship before the bunch seemed rather earthshattering to the other captain. This really was like a soap opera. Shaking her head, she realized that Des was actually introducing her to the (rather awkward) group.

"Believe me, gentlemen, the pleasure is all mine," Samarra tried to say, without bursting into laughter. Her eyes laughed as the Lieutenant excused himself, and when Des followed, a devilish grin wriggled across her cheeks. Ohhhh, I can feel a girls night coming on. Better break out the shot glasses.

"Want some cake, Sam? It's my birthday." Turning her attention back to the newly dejected Captain Cromin, Samarra tried to hide her continued amusement. This was definitely an interesting crew to be around.

"Happy Birthday! Oh, and call me Samarra. I hear there is already a Sam on the Task Force. And sure, that woud be great. What kind is it?" Samarra leaned foreward slightly to examine the cake. It was your generic, $15 cake from your local grocery store. Either way, cake was cake.

Glancing around the commissary, her eyes fell on a rather brooding figure. As Cromin cut a few pieces of the cake for a few random bypassers, Samarra looked down and took a bite of her own. Her eyes once again fell upon the figure in the corner. Upon closer examination, she noticed the patch on his shoulder was that of the Fighter Squadron, the ring around the outside being the same sky blue as her own. Her mental CPU jotted across the files of the members of the Task Force, and his name and face locked together. However, not wanting to be too much of a creeper, she decided to do things in a rather normal fashion.

"If you'll excuse me, I'm going to go share the love," Samarra grinned, lifting up a second piece of cake and rising from her seat. Crossing the commissary, she approached the pilots table. He didn't seem to notice her until she spoke.

"It's Captain Cromin's birthday and you looked like you were in the mood for cake, sir" Samarra stated, hiding her grin slightly. He really did seem rather down, but then again...cake was a universal healer. Setting the cake down on the table, she set her hand on the chair across from him. "I'm Captain Samarra Blackwell, the new CIO on the Aeneid....is this seat taken?"

<Tag Nolen>

Samarra did not know if he was really in the mood for cake...or talking. However, she was trying to make an effort to become familiar with her teammates before being shipped off to a galaxy far, far away.

Tony walked through the event horizon of the Stargate, turning around and placing his M4A1 on his shoulder, "Nice! I love it when my stuff just.. well WORKS!", he says to the others trailing behind him, the blast door on his right side opened up, Landry walking through.

Tony gave the General a salute, "Twas a success Sir, the weapon can be deployed at anytime, I'd like a few aboard any 304 in our fleet, things might come in handy for blowing away the Ori motherships, or some Hives, although a 304 might not wanna be there, considering I just blew up a planet..", he says the General kind of dumbfounded, "Nice to hear Tony, I'm here just to let you know that the Odyssey is leaving, and we need you on-board", Landry says to him as the two begin walking towards the corridor, "Oh and sir, I'd like to load a couple of Jumpers on the Odyssey, my guts telling me we might need them", he says, Tony knew what their mission was about, he'd read the mission briefing already, he knew a Jumper would be handy if everything didn't go as planned.

The food, it smelled like crap, tasted like crap, but the blue Jello was always good, Food's better on a 304, he thought to himself, taking a seat at one of the tables with his 3 cups of blue Jello, he'd have a meal on the 304.

He noticed a group of people, all looked to be engaged in a nice conversation, he did however notice an old face he'd seen in passing, he took the liberty of checking every member of the soon to be Aeneid and made sure they could do a good job, she was Blackwell, the CIO, he thought by the look of her she wasn't having the most brilliant time, he stares at her, raising his hand and ushering the Captain towards him, he always wants to get to know who he works with, in a private 'kind' of place, a table alone with her was about the only option.
