"Major Carter." Sam said as she answered the phone.
"Ma'am, General Hammond would like to see you in his office as soon as possible." A nameless airman responded.
"I'm on my way." Sam switched off any of the equipment in her lab which could be dangerous if left unattended and made her way to the General's office. "You wanted to see me sir." Sam said as she tapped on the door. Sam noticed Janet already sat in one of the chairs.
"Come in Sam and shut the door behind you."
"Yes sir." Sam did as she was told.
"Dr Fraiser needs your help."
"Sam, have you had the chicken pox?"
"Yes, when I was about six or seven. Why?"
"Major I have a mission for you." General Hammond stated.
"Sir, I thought SG-1 were on downtime until Daniel's leg healed?"
"You are. Doctor." The General prompted.
"About a week ago Colonel O'Neill took Cassie and a few of her friends to the ice-rink to teach them the finer points of ice-hockey. I got a phone call last night from Zara's mother, Zara and her little brother Michael have the chicken pox. I ran a blood test on Cassie and she's fine. I also ran a test on Colonel O'Neill."
"And the Colonel has the chicken pox?" Sam surmised.
"Yes, he's breaking out as we speak. We've got him confined to his quarters."
"Isn't chicken pox quite serious when you're an adult?"
"Yes it can be, that's why he needs someone to watch over him and make sure he doesn't develop any more serious symptoms. But this is where we have a problem."
"We can't keep the Colonel on the base as when don't know when one of our allies my drop by and we can't risk them being infected with something which may potentially kill them." Hammond continued.
"If he was in one of the isolation room or confined to his quarters..." Sam started.
"We can't take that risk."
"Sam, you know the Colonel isn't a good patient at the best of times." Janet reminded her.
"I think I know where this is going." Sam muttered.
"Major, I'd like you to take Colonel O'Neill home and stay with him until Doctor Fraiser gives him the all clear."
"General wouldn't the Colonel be happier with Teal'c?" Sam asked.
"Teal'c symbiote protects him from most things but I don't know if it would protect him from the chicken pox or how severely he would react if he caught it. We can't take that chance."
"Isn't there someone else sir? I was supposed to be conducting a complete overhaul of the gates systems next week."
"Unfortunately not, we can't spare the personnel. Besides which I think Jack would prefer someone he knew."
"Yes sir. I'll have to run home and get a few things first."
"I'll find an airman to drive the Colonel home in his SUV." Hammond replied.
"I think the Colonel would prefer it if anyone had to drive his car it was me. Janet is the Colonel up to stopping by my house first." Sam asked.
"At the moment he's only cranky that he has the chicken pox and a slight fever, he should be fine. I'll give you a list of instructions and some medication to keep his fever down."
"By the way does the Colonel know about this.?"
