And now, chapter 3!
Sam was settling in for a long night… a LOOOONG night. They (the scientists) had just gotten back from P3C-929, Khantu. It was a seemingly rural and full of farms – seemingly simple people, but some of the technology they used was extraordinary. To them, though, using their advanced technology was as exciting as turning on a TV or using a phone. They had everything from supply replicators to cold fusion power to power their homes and farms. The peaceful Khantuans had let the SGC take some of their stuff back to Earth for study.
So, because of this, Sam had a long night in front of her. Not that she minded – new technology was always exciting and once she started working, time would fly by. It was just the fact that now it was 8:30 pm and she probably wouldn't finish until 8:30 am.
Whatever.
Sam dove into the pile of alien tech and fished out the supply replicator. This thing was awesome! Imagine Star Trek… but instead of food replicators, it only made material goods. Apparently food tasted nasty out of a replicator.
The scientist propped open her laptop and got to work. She had barely been at it for ten minutes when an email warning came up. Thinking that it might be from one of her assistants, she opened it. Yup, it was definitely from her assistant, but it was definitely not about work.
It looked like one of those round robin emails that just keep getting passed around, but the original sender had been one "Dr. Jackson, Daniel". Mildly interested and amused, Sam read more.
Wow… this email was great. Maybe the supply replicator could be put on hold for a bit. Sam had an email to write!

... a. Trust me… it's for the best.
... b. Sometimes you just might not want to know.

... c. That and it might be the only thing keeping you alive – mastery over the coffee pot.
5. Say big, complicated phrases just to impress people.
... a. You know, sometimes it really does work.
... b. And you don't even have to make sense.

7. If anyone tries to tell you that you're just a weak little nerd, punch them.
... a. That gets you instant respect points.

... c. This also very clearly disproves their point.
Sam stopped and proudly looked over her list. For a quick email, Sam had pretty accurately described all the things she had wanted to. She chuckled briefly to herself and glanced up at a puzzled subordinate walking past her office.
Sam Carter grinned to herself. This could be fun.
