“I found something in the ancients’ database a couple of days ago.” Tammy said over her shoulder as she lay next to Carter. “I was going through looking for research on the Wraith, and I ran across another one of their experiments. One that didn’t go wonky.”

They were spooning in the predawn darkness, and Tammy could see the first hints of sunrise on the horizon.

“I’m not going to like this, am I?” Carter asked softly, kissing the smooth skin of her back lightly.

“Probably not, but I’ve been playing with it, and I think I want to do more.” Tammy said, wiggling her butt against her. She reached back and put her hand on Sam’s ass, pulling her tighter against her. “Those toys Andi gave us aren’t doing the trick. They’re fun and all, but there’s something missing.”

“So you’re getting bored with me already? And what has that got to do with the ancients?” Carter asked, nibbling at her neck. She moved her hand up and cupped the full, firm mound of Tammy’s breast, pinching the nipple between her fingers.

“Mmmmmm, do that harder...oh shit, you may have to fuck me before we get out of bed if we keep this up.” Tammy purred.

“And what makes you think that would be a problem?” Carter asked as she moved back, pulling Tammy over onto her back, then slithering up on top of her. “What did you find, and what do you want to do with it?”

Tammy slid her arms around her as she spread her legs, moaning happily as Sam slipped her leg between them. She reached down and cupped the cheeks of her ass, pulling her tighter against her.

“I wanna make us a fucktoy.” She whispered as she started humping her pussy onto Sam’s leg.

“And what could this fucktoy do that Andi’s toys can’t?” Carter asked, slipping down over her slowly. Her tongue dragged slowly over the soft skin of Tammy’s neck, then down between her breasts. She licked at the spongy globes lightly, then moved over, tracing soft circles around one nipple with her lips and tongue.

“It could fuck us.” Tammy said breathily, pushing gently on Sam’s shoulders. “Eat me. I want to cum before we get up.”

“Don’t be in such a hurry!” Carter laughed. She laid her arms across Tammy’s stomach as she looked up at her. “Tell me more about your fucktoy first. Is this some kind of machine? What would it look like? And how would we use it?”

She moved one hand down, her fingers dancing over the clean shaved lips of Tammy’s pussy. She teased her with gentle caresses as she waited for her to answer.

“He’d be about five-eight with a wiry build, we can talk about the hair and eyes, but I’m partial to blue-eyed blondes.” Tammy moaned as she arched her pussy up at Sam’s fingers. “But I want a big dick, at least eight inc...”

“He?” Carter gasped, rolling off of her and getting up on her knees. She stared down at Tammy in disbelief. “Are you talking about a fucking replicator?”

“Huh uh. He’d be a programmable android. I already have the schematics drawn up for him, and lots of the parts are already in the inventory.” Tammy grunted as she rolled onto her side, propping her head up in her hand. She looked at Sam as her other hand moved between her legs, dipping into the juice drenched cleft of her pussy. “If you’re not going to fuck me, at least talk dirty to me. You know how hot that makes me.”

“You’re doing fine on your own.” Sam said as she watched her. Just the thought that Tammy might want to make a replicator had been like having ice water thrown on her. “Tell me more about this thing. If it’s not a replicator, what is it?”

“Ang...Angelo.” Tammy panted as she stroked her fingers rapidly over her clit. She stared at Sam, her eyes roaming all over her body as she knelt beside her. “I’m going t...to call him Angelo. God, you look so hot! Raise up a li...little, and spread your legs, I want to see your pussy. You have the prettiest little blonde bush! It’s so cute!”

Carter raised up, moving her knees wider apart on the bed. She smiled at Tammy as she put her hand over her pussy, not playing with herself, but hiding it from Tammy.

“An Angelo would be dark haired and swarthy.” She said as she started moving her hips in slow circles. She shimmied her shoulders, making her tits jiggle and bounce, smiling as she saw Tammy gasp. “A blue eyed blonde would be a Dietrich, Hans, or Boris.”

“Oooooohhhh! I like Boris!” Tammy whimpered, her fingers flying over her clit. She looked up at Carter, her eyes pleading. “Oh fuck! Move your hand, Sam.  I want to see your pussy when I cum, baby. Please?”

Carter moved her hand off of her pussy mound, dragging her fingers slowly up between the wet, fleshy lips. She reached over, holding her fingers under Tammy’s nose, then brushed them lightly over her lips, smearing the fragrant nectar over them slowly.

“Oh god!” Tammy groaned as she fell back on the bed, licking her lips. She grabbed Sam’s wrist, opening her mouth and taking her fingers inside, sucking on them hungrily. “Oh shit, Sam! I’m...oh fuck! I...I...cumming” She screamed around Sam’s fingers.

Carter laughed as she watched her writhe across the bed. Pulling her fingers from her mouth, she reached down, pinching a nipple between them. She leaned close, stretching out on the bed beside her, her lips brushing her ear.

“You’re thinking about your pretty little Boris fucking you, aren’t you you little slut?” She asked breathily. “You can already feel his big cock pounding into your hot, wet little pussy, fucking you till you cum and cum and cum. Isn’t that right?”

“Fuck!” Tammy groaned, her hips bouncing on the bed as her fingers ground harder onto the swollen bud of her clit. She grunted, pulling her hand away from her pulsing pussy mound suddenly, rolling over and knocking Sam onto her back

“Thank you, thank you, thank you.” She moaned as she planted sloppy wet kisses all over her face, then ground her lips down onto Sam’s. “I don’t know why I needed to cum so bad this morning! You made me cum so good last night. God I love making out with you!”

“Liar!” Sam laughed, wriggling out from under her and rolling off the bed. “You want to replace me with a walking dildo! How do you think that makes me feel?”

“Hopefully, you’ll be so turned on the first time he pounds your little pee hole with his big ol’ cock, you’ll forget that he’s just a walking dildo.” Tammy laughed, climbing to her feet and bouncing across the bed. She jumped off the end, grabbed Sam’s hand and pulled her toward the door. “Come on, let’s go make breakfast. I’m starving!”

“You’re not listening to me!” Tammy said as she pushed her plate away. “He’s not a replicator. The machine I want to make was a couple steps before them in the process. He’ll have a skeleton, muscles and skin. Think Arnold in the Terminator. But friendly, like in the last one, not the first.” She paused, then grinned at Carter. “He might actually be closer to Data from Star Trek. He’ll be an android, not a cyborg.”

“But you’d use the same labs and the same machines to make this thing that McKay used to make his replicator, Fran.” Carter said. “And before you say it, yes, she worked out okay. She did what she was programmed to do, but it was still creepy.”

“Do you like it when I fingerfuck you, or when I use a toy on you?” Tammy asked as she got up and went over to the coffee maker. She brought the carafe back over to the table and filled their cups, then sat it off to the side. “Be honest, I think you do, but I’m biased about my prowess.”

“God, you are so conceited!” Carter laughed. “But yes, I do like it when you play with me. I...”

“Say it.” Tammy grinned, leaning close, her eyes glittering. “Say the words Sam, I want to hear you say it.”

“I, um...you know, like it when you...do stuff to me.” Carter sputtered, her cheeks coloring brightly.

“Oh shit! You can’t say it!” Tammy laughed. She got up, pulling Sam to her feet, then pushed her back against the counter. Dropping her hand down between her legs, she eased two fingers into the warm wet slit of Carter’s pussy, stroking them in and out lazily.

“What am I doing to you right now, Sam?” She asked, pressing her body against her, their tits  rubbing against each other, her hand trapped between the lightly furred mounds of their cunts. “Tell me.”

“You...you’re rubbing my...”

“Rubbing your what, Sam? And I’m doing more than just rubbing, and you know it.” Tammy breathed huskily. “What are my fingers doing, and where are they doing it?”

“Oh god, Tammy!” Carter moaned, spreading her legs wider as her knees bent, giving her more room to work on her drooling cunt slit. “It feels so good! Don’t stop!”

Tammy pressed her fingers deep into her pulsing pussy, holding them still as Carter jerked and humped her pussy down at them. Her thumb stroked steadily across the stiff nub of her clit, adding to Sam’s pleasure.

“Please Tammy! Don’t tease me like this!” Carter groaned as she tried to fuck herself on Tammy’s fingers.

“Look at me Sam.” Tammy said softly as she started moving her fingers again. “I want you to say what I say, word for word, as I say it. Do you understand me?”

“Ungh! Ye...yes.” Carter panted, her hips working frantically as she tried to get Tammy to move her fingers faster.

“I love your fingers in my pussy. I want you to fuck me, and make me cum.”

“I...love yo...your fingers...in me.” Carter panted. “Please, make me cum!”

“No, that’s not right, Sam.” Tammy said slowly, burying her fingers knuckle deep in the spasming passage of her pussy, holding them still again. Her thumb ground onto her clit, moving in slow circles over the tender nubbin. “Say what I told you to say. It’s kind of weird that you can talk dirty about what you’re doing to me, but not what’s being done to you. Why is that?””

“I...oh god, Tammy! You know I ca...”

“Okay.” Tammy said as she stepped back, her hand moving down, pulling her fingers slowly from Carter’s juiced soaked cunt slit.

“No!” Carter groaned, reaching down and grabbing her wrist, forcing her fingers back into her pussy. She held her wrist tightly as she humped her heaving cunt channel down onto the stiff digits. “Fuck me you bitch! Fuck my hot little pussy with your goddamned fingers and make me cum!”

“You do it.” Tammy whispered. “Fuck yourself on my fingers Sammy. You like my fingers in your hot little cunt hole, don’t you? I want you to tell me, I want you to talk dirty to me when I fuck you.”

“You want dirty? I’ll fucking give you dirty!” Carter grunted as she jerked Tammy’s hand away from her crotch. She hopped up on the counter and leaned back, bringing her feet up to rest on the edge as she spread her legs wide. “Put your fucking fingers back in my cunt and fuck me! Do it hard, and make me fucking cum you bitch!”

Tammy grinned as she pressed three fingers between the cream coated lips of her pussy and slipped them slowly into the tight, wet hole. She started moving them in and out slowly as she teased Carter’s clit with her thumb.

“Faster!” Carter grunted, bringing her hand down and wrapping it around Tammy’s wrist. She started pumping her fingers into her pussy, showing Tammy the rhythm she wanted.

Twisting her fingers back and forth as she drove them in and out of Sam’s warm, wet pussy, Tammy started moving them faster. In moments, her fingers were a blur as they pumped between the puffy, fur lined lips. Tammy looked up at her as she fingerfucked her steadily.

“I’m going to program Boris to fuck you just like this.” She said huskily. “I know just how you like to get fucked, and I’m going to put every trick I know turns you on in him.”

“Oh shit!” Carter grunted, her ass hanging over the edge of the counter as she humped and jerked frantically down at Tammy’s fingers. “Wh...when can we st...start on him? If you can g...get him to fu...fuck me like this...Oh god! Faster! I...I’m gonna cum, Tammy!”

“What the hell are you two doing?” Keller gasped as she walked into the kitchen. She stared wide eyed at the spectacle before her.

“Negotiating.” Tammy laughed as she moved her head between Sam’s legs. “We’ll be with you in a minute!” Replacing her thumb with her lips, she sucked Sam’s clit into her mouth and nipped at it with her teeth, making her moan and jerk every time she did.

“Oh fuck! Eat me Tammy!” Carter grunted, her hands coming down to press her mouth harder against her clit. “Suck on it! Suck my clit and fuck me harder!”

“I don’t believe this.” Keller muttered as she watched them. She felt her own pussy moistening, and at the same time felt a wave of jealously sweep over her. She envied the pair the freedom and passion they shared when it came to sex.

“Oh god! Enough! You win!” Carter groaned as she eased off the counter, pulling Tammy up so she could kiss her hungrily. Tammy’s fingers still drove in and out of her juice soaked pussy slit, and Carter groaned again as another series of spasms surged over her.

“Someone’s going to clean that counter before you put any food on it, right?” Keller asked as she opened the fridge.

“Good god, Jennifer!” Tammy laughed, easing her fingers from Carter’s pussy and bringing her hand to her mouth, licking her fingers clean. “Do you always have to be such a downer when it comes to sex? And if you want to know, we were doing it in here because I was trying to get Sam to lighten up a little. She’s almost as repressed about sex as you are, at least when she’s talking about herself. I was trying to adjust her attitude a little.”

She looked back as Sam, a sly smile crossing her face.

“What do you think hon? Want to help me adjust Jenn’s attitude a little now?” She giggled.

“John might appreciate that.” Carter laughed, turning to look at Keller. “Or we could just send her down to the STM bridge next time we charge up ZPM’s. You remember what that did to her!”

“John and I do just fine, thank you very much!” Keller said as she poured a glass of juice and sat at the table.

“So what are you doing up so early, Jennifer?” Carter asked, going to the cabinet and getting a fresh glass.

Tammy came over and took it from her, getting one for herself. She pushed her over toward the table as she opened the fridge.

“Sit down, I’ll get your drink.” She said as she filled the glass with ice.

“Not that it’s any of your business, but John woke me up doing it this morning.” Keller said, coloring slightly. “I think he’s been talking to Steven. Teyla says that he wakes her up like that all the time. They both do it like that. They wake up in the middle of the night and just...use each other.”

“Mmmmmmm, I like waking up like that.” Tammy purred. “We do it too. Now that the boys are sleeping in their own room, we don’t have to be as careful.”

“It was nice.” Jennifer laughed. “He was so gentle this morning! He’s normally so...I don’t know, macho? It’s like he has to prove himself by being rough with me. I like that sometimes, but sometimes I just like it soft and slow, you know?”

“Then tell him.” Carter said, taking her drink from Tammy. “He can’t fix what he doesn’t know is broken. And if you don’t say anything, you’re going to start resenting him, and you won’t last.”

“And don’t just tell him what you want, ask him what he wants too.” Tammy added. “Do it in bed one night. Take him to bed and spend the night talking and playing. I guarantee you’ll both probably have a good time.”

“That’s easy for you to say!” Keller said, frowning slightly. “He works twenty hours a day most times! It’s hard to catch him when he’s not exhausted!”

“We’re going to have to do something about that.” Carter said, looking over at Tammy. “I already told everyone to block out downtime, but it sounds like some of them didn’t listen.”

She glanced over at Keller. “How many hours a day are you putting in, on average, Jennifer?”

“On a good day, probably ten, on a bad day, closer to sixteen, maybe eighteen.” Keller said. “It varies. There’s just so much to do!”

“I know Andi puts in at least twelve every day. But she knocks off at twenty, maybe twenty-one hundred most nights and fires up a pipe.” Tammy said.

“There’s no reason for the senior staff to be putting in so many hours.” Carter said, a look of irritation crossing her face. “We’re going to talk about this today. I want a meeting at oh nine hundred, we’ll do it in the conference center.” She looked over at Tammy. “I think it’s time we broke the news to them anyway. Let’s get the org charts out and look them over one more time. You can show me your plans for Boris at the same time.”

“Who’s Boris?” Keller asked, looking back and forth between them.

“What, not who.” Tammy said lightly. “Special project. Just something we’re going to be...playing with.”

“Tammy and I have been looking at the org charts all of you submitted, and we think some restructuring needs to be done.” Carter said as she walked into the room. She turned and looked at Sheppard as she sat down. “Besides this morning, when was the last time you and Jennifer had sex? Or you’ve been up to the driving range, or just kicked back and had a beer with Ronin?”

“Sam, I told you that in confidence!” Jennifer blurted out.

Sheppard looked stunned, and sputtered for a moment, trying to answer her questions.

“That’s what I thought. Ronin is pissed by the way, he feels left out. You should reach out and mend that bridge.”

She looked over at Samuels. “How about you Andi? When was the last time you and Wilkins did the horizontal mambo, or blew a pipe of thumper together?”

“Three days ago.” Samuels smiled, realizing where Carter was going with her line of questioning. “But he’s been offworld for two of those, and if it makes any difference, I masturbate daily, whether we have sex together or not.”

“Good, at least someone is getting some release around here.”

She looked down at Caldwell.

“My sex life is really none of your business, Colonel.” He said, coloring slightly. “But to put your concerns to rest, Teyla and I have sex daily. One of us will initiate it, so it’s not unusual for us to have sex several times a day.”

“I wasn’t going to ask about your sex life, Steven, but I’m glad to hear that you’re taking care of yourself.” She laughed, then sobered quickly. “No, I was going to ask why you haven’t spoken to the Athosians about your betrothal to Teyla. And before you say anything, that is my business. So why not, and when are you planning on doing it?”

“I haven’t had time to get offworld to visit them.” Caldwell said. “I believe that I would need to spend several days making visits to at least three different worlds, and I just haven’t been able to get away.”

“I like that you want to spend time with Teyla’s people, that will go a long way toward getting their approval.” Carter smiled.

“Plan on taking next week off.” Tammy said as she made notes on her tablet. “You and Teyla can do a tour while she ties up some diplomatic loose ends for us. Having you with her will kill several birds at once.”

Carter looked around the table, making eye contact with all of them. “I don’t know how hard you’re all working, but I do know that you’re working too goddamn long on any given day. Unless there’s a special event, or some sort of emergency, there’s really no reason for any of you to be in your offices, or working on anything past say, nineteen hundred hours. That’s why you have deputies, and department heads. If you have to work twenty hours a day, you need to replace them, or I need to replace you. We need you looking at the high level, long term stuff you should be paying attention too, not day to day operations.”

She looked over at Tammy, and a moment later, a flowchart appeared on the screen next to the table.

“You all have, or in John’s case, had deputies, as well as department heads.” Carter said, looking down at her laptop. “I’m making the navy a separate department under Steven. He’ll report to us, but still coordinate with John, who maintains overall command of all armed forces.”

“We had Daniel and Vala go through the org charts, department outlines, and have also been funneling daily reports to them for the last few days.” Tammy said. “They discovered several instances of direct duplication of efforts, and almost a dozen points of overlapping influence. We mailed you all a copy of this new department design, along with a brief Daniel prepared suggesting what personnel should be doing what functions, based on skills and experience.”

“There are going to be areas where you have to do the same, or similar work, but we want to keep that to a minimum.” Carter said, picking up where Tammy left off. “I would have liked to have them do this part of this meeting, but they’re in Anchorage right now with Pharris.” She looked over at Samuels. “We’re taking Anchorage out from under you Andi, and putting Pharris in charge. She has the management skills to run an operation like that, and we trust her to do right by us.”

“I was actually going to suggest that.” Samuels said. “We’ve talked about a few of the ideas you threw out when we were over there with them, and she’s eager to get started on some of them.” She paused, checking a note on her tablet. “The biggest change she suggested was getting resource production started before we start working on the city itself. She pointed out that there’s no reason to get the production areas geared up when we don’t have materials to make anything with.”

“We had the same conversation with her, which is why we asked her to go ahead and assume command.” Tammy said. “We’re going to make some changes in the production here in Atlantis as well. We can feed fifty thousand people for over a year with what we currently have on hand, so we’re going to back off food production by half, and change over to making jumpers, mining equipment, and farm implements. I mailed you and your deputy an outline and a production schedule, along with a list of required training. Feel free to add to it, and let us know what you think.”

“If we’re going to start making jumpers, does that mean we can keep some of the three-oh-two’s you were going to send back to Earth?” Caldwell asked.

Tammy grinned at Carter, then looked down the table at him. “Yes Steven, you get to keep fifteen of your little space planes. We’re going to send fifteen of those instead of the thirty Sam originally proposed, along with the first ten jumpers we produce. We’ll be sending them thirty percent of the jumpers and drones we produce for the next few months, once we have Anchorage stocked up, that is.”

“I’m going to need medical supplies and equipment in the not too distant future.” Keller said. “We already need to do a blood drive, and if we keep bringing in refugees at the rate we have been, we’re going to start running low on consumables in the next sixty days or so.”

“Make up a list of what can be produced locally, and another with the stuff you think will have to come from Earth.” Tammy said. “Get with me and Andi later, and we can work out what we can make here.”

“Steven, you only have four days to get your department split off and setup as an independent unit, so you need to get your people up to speed as fast as possible.” Carter said, looking at him, then glancing around the table. “We’re in a lull right now, so this would be a good time to get everyone resituated. We’ll be moving the military to the north pier, and Andi’s team over to the east, those two buildings are already being used for city business anyway. We want the central tower to be a research center, since most of the ancient labs are there. Our management stuff can be done from anywhere.”

“That makes sense, Sam, except most of the science people work for at least one of us.” Samuels said. “I have fifteen that I know of, and I think John has at least ten, if not more.”

“I don’t see where that’s a problem, Andi.” Carter said lightly. “We’re not doing any major research, or at least we’re not supposed to be doing any. If there’s something going on that I don’t know about, now would be the time to bring it up.”

“Zelenka has half a dozen projects going, but most of those are directly related to the Daedalus and the Apollo.” Sheppard said. “Stephen and I talk to him daily.”

“Chuck, your people are going to be busy, and I don’t know where we’re going to get you more right now.” Carter said. “I doubt if any of the others will want to give anyone up.”

“I’ve been pulling from the refugee pool, if that’s okay.” Chuck told her. “I already have three of them in the Ops rotation, and another thirty doing city maintenance. I meant to say something, but haven’t really had a chance.”

“How did you pick them, and how are you training them?” Samuels asked not looking up at him. Her fingers flew over her tablet, and she frowned as she looked at the screen. “And has your department personnel list been updated?”

“It’s a couple days behind.” Chuck said. “I brought in ten yesterday, and I have sixty more that I’m going to phase in over the next few weeks.”

Samuels looked over at him, her eyes wide. “How many people do you think you’re going to need? Running Ops can’t take that many people.”

“No, but running the city does.” Chuck told her. He glanced over at Carter. “Realistically, once we get production going full blast, I’m going to need...call it two thousand maintenance workers to keep it going. Some of the machines on the north pier are already showing the strain.”

“Do what you have to do, but keep your paperwork up to date.” Carter said. “And get with Pharris, I guess we’re going to need a city manager over there too.”

Chuck shook his head. “No, ma’am. I have Anchorage slaved to Atlantis, and can monitor it’s systems from here. Some of the people I’ll be bringing in will be slated for there, but we’ll only need three hundred or so for that. That’s based on just supporting the production and living areas, and not doing major repairs. I’d need over three thousand if you want that city to fly again in less than ten years.”

“Two questions.” Tammy said. “First, how are you picking these people?”

“The teaching machines do an IQ and an aptitude scan when you put the headset on, that’s why you get a suggested training list on it.” He said “It automatically updates the cities database with that information, and any training the person gets.”

He looked around the table. “The database also locates any other information on the person from it’s systems and merges it into a central file. So when we key someone in for a dwelling, or they get a medical scan, that information is included. I just went through, and got their addresses, and went to talk to them.”

“You know who and where everyone is in the city?” Andi said, staring at him.

“Yes ma’am. Dr. Keller’s people have been doing a great job. They get a name, age, and a complete medical history on everyone that goes through the ingress process. Our people were already in the system.” He said. He typed on his tablet, then slid it over to her. “This is what the city has on you.”

“This is amazing.” Andi said. “But how does the system know who is who, we don’t input names when we assign a dwelling.”

“That’s easy. Every ancient machine or device you touch does a DNA scan whether you have the ATA gene or not. That information is stored with any other matching records.” He said. “I can tell you how many times Col. Sheppard has flown which jumpers if you want, or who has been in what room, and when.”

“I think this is something that we all need to get training on, Chuck. How long would it take you to work up a presentation and put all of us through it?” Carter asked.

“I’ll get you the required training list from the teacher, and you can just have everyone do that. It would be alot faster.” He said. “There’s only three or four files related to this system, so it only takes a few minutes.”

“Send that list out, and we’ll get everyone trained.” She said. She looked over at Tammy. “You said you had two questions.”

Tammy nodded and looked at Chuck for a moment. “If you had the people, how soon could you get that city to fly?”

“No more than eighteen months, depending on if we had all the materials we’d needed.” He told her. “But from what I’m seeing on some of the sensors, we’d have to dig it out first. It looks like two thirds of it is buried. most of the towers are above ground, you just can’t see them because of the forests. That’s why you can only see the central tower.”

“How long do you think it would take to dig it out?” Samuels asked.

“That depends on how you want to do it.” Chuck said. “I’d suggest clearing the forests for two kilometers around it first, there’s no point in wasting all that wood. Then we start from the outside of the ring, blasting the dirt out with the Asgard beams from one of the ships. When we get within ten feet of the structures, we switch to C-4 and earth movers, either that, or we fire up the stardrive and try to vibrate some of it loose..”

He looked down the table at Caldwell. “Is your guy Marks as good with those beams as he is with the transport system?”

“Better. Why?” Caldwell asked.

“If he can give me a narrow, directed beam, we could get as close as five feet, maybe even three.” Chuck said. “Then we could cut the window for excavating down to one week.”

“Work me up a plan, and send it out to the senior staff.” Carter said.

“I sent a draft out three days ago. I didn’t include that last part, I just thought of that this morning.”

“What else have you sent out?” Sheppard asked. “I may not have been reading all your mails.”

“I think I missed a few too.” Caldwell said. “But can we go back to what you were saying about the teaching machines? You said that they do an aptitude scan? What kind of information does that include?”

“It looks like a graph, broken down by skill sets.” Chuck said. He opened a file on his tablet again, and slid it across to Caldwell. “The obvious ones are on it, like math, language and science, but you can break it down pretty fine. That shows the full spread on me.”

“There’s over a hundred categories here.” Caldwell said. “You’re off the scale on associational reasoning and management skills. It looks like we got the right man for the job you’re in.”

“Can that be sorted by skill sets?” Tammy asked, holding her hand out for the tablet.

Caldwell slid the tablet down to her, and she leaned closer to Sam so she could see it.

“Yes ma’am. That’s how I’m picking my people.” Chuck said.

“So we just learned that we need to step back and rethink what we’re going to do with Anchorage, and where we’re putting people.” Carter said. “And I hope we all learned that we need to pay alot more attention when Chuck sends out an email. I know I did.”

“Let’s let Pharris proceed with her resource project, we need to get those forests cleared before we can do anything anyway.” Andi said. “We’re probably going to need metals too, so mining is going to be important as well.”

“Andi, get with Chuck and make sure everyone gets that training, today. Get Pharris back here and include her.” Tammy said, she thought for a second, then went on. “You might as well do Bra’tac and O’Neill too. When you’re done. Sit down as a group and go over your staffing lists. I want you to move people around based on what they’re best at.”

She paused again. “The first thing I want you to do is find the top twenty management types we have. The top five go to me and Sam, you can fight over the rest. There’s almost fifty thousand people in the city now so it shouldn’t be too hard.”

“You want us to go into the refugee pool, like Chuck did?” Sheppard asked. “Are you sure that’s a good idea? You’re talking about putting these people into high level positions, at least if I heard you right.”

“You heard me right.” Tammy said. “And make it the top fifty. You all know we need the help, and we just don’t have what we need with the people we started with. We’re going to trust these people to make our food, and equipment, and to keep the city running, so how much different is it trusting them to help us run the government?”

“It’s alot different. But I agree, if we’re not going to trust them, why are we bringing them here?” Caldwell said

“We’re not going to force you to take anyone you don’t want.” Carter said, “But the people that go to us are going to end up running other departments, or working directly for us. We both still need personal assistants, so keep that skill set in mind during your search.”

She looked around the table, smiling as she watched them talking to each other, or making notes on laptops and tablets.

“I’d like an update on progress by thirteen hundred, and an outline for a plan by no later than eighteen hundred.” She said as she stood up. She smiled again as they all looked at her. “And we wouldn’t mind company for dinner, so let us know who’s interested. I was thinking italian would be nice.” She said, giving Andi a significant look.

“I wouldn’t mind italian myself.” Andi grinned back. “I’ll get with the staff, they have all my recipes, so it shouldn’t be a problem.”

“Can I bring a date?” Chuck asked as he gathered up his things.

“Fine with me.” Carter laughed. “I just want to have a nice family dinner, so it might be nice to meet your friends, Chuck.”

“He’s just trying to score points with someone, or trying to get into her pants.” Tammy laughed, joining Sam at the door. “But that’s okay, I’m all for helping people get laid!”

 

 

Interior-Robotics Lab, Central Tower

1115 Hours

“This is one of half a dozen labs the ancients used when they were developing the replicators.” Tammy said as she showed Sam around. “I still have to go through the others, but there’s already some parts here I can use for Boris. From what I saw in the inventory, it looks like most of the skeleton is built, and just needs to be assembled.”

“What about the skin? You said it would be more like Data from Star Trek, so does that mean he’s going to have rubber skin?” Sam asked. She went over to a work bench and lifted a sheet of plastic from it. “I don’t think I’d like that. It would feel creepy.”

“Got it covered.” Tammy laughed as she came over and joined her. “The ancients had something that they used to replace real skin for burn patients. It looks and feels like the real thing. I need to tell Jennifer about it. There’s some other stuff in the research that she might be able to use too, like artificial limbs and organs.”

“So there’s going to be a real, direct benefit from your little project besides getting you laid?” Sam laughed.

“Definitely.” Tammy grinned, turning on a terminal and bringing up the schematics she had been working on. She brought up images of different faces, and looked at Sam over her shoulder. “You got a preference? I can’t decide between a twenty something boy-toy, or an early thirties man about town.”

“I like that one.” Sam told her, pointing at an image. “Mature, but not too old, give him short, sandy blond hair, and lose the mustache. Smooth out the cheeks a little too, he looks like he’d be fat with those puffy cheeks.”

“I like that one too.” Tammy said as she made a few adjustments, then looked at Sam again. “Better?”

“A little more off the cheeks, and make the hair a little longer.” Sam said as she leaned closer. “What do you have in mind for the body? You said something about five-eight? That’s a little short. I prefer my men taller than I am.”

“I like my men lean and wiry, but taller isn’t a bad idea.” Tammy laughed, then changed screens and brought up a series of images of headless bodies.

“Any of those would be fine.” Sam said as she looked over the pictures. “But I’m serious, make him at least five-ten, don’t go over six feet. There’s something about looking up at a man, I don’t know, it just...”

“I know what you mean.” Tammy said as she turned around. “I already made the adjustment. All those images are scaled between five-ten and five-eleven. That’s going to put them in the one seventy-five pound range. You okay with that?”

“You weigh almost that much, so it shouldn’t be a problem.” Sam said as she looked at the images. She glanced over at Tammy, then back at the screen. “You said you wanted a big, um...thing...”

“Step this way.” Tammy laughed, taking Sam by the arm and leading her across the room. She opened a cabinet and pulled out a tray, making Sam laugh when she saw what was in it.

“You’ve got to be kidding me!” Sam laughed as she stared at the rows of disembodied penises. “There’s no way any of those is going in me! They won’t fit!”

“I know.” Tammy laughed as she closed the tray and pulled open another one. “I just wanted you to see them. These are more of what I had in mind.”

The second tray had three rows of artificial penises ranging from seven to nine inches long with various girths. The ones on the bottom row were all uncircumcised.

“That’s more like it, even though all of these are still bigger than any of the guys I’ve been with.” Sam said. She picked one up, turning it in her hand as she looked at it.

“This doesn’t feel like what I what expecting.” She said as she ran her hand up and down over the shaft.

“These are prosthetics, replacement parts for humans.” Tammy said. “We can use them for Boris, and the good part is, we don’t have to pick just one, we can interchange them. But check this out.”

She took the prosthetic from Sam and mounted it on a base attached to the table. Bringing up another terminal, she typed for moment, then grinned at Sam.

“Watch, this thing does all kinds of tricks.” She pressed a series of keys, and the penis began getting longer and thicker as it became erect.

“Put your hand around it.” She told Sam.

Sam wrapped her fingers around the shaft, surprised at how warm, and life like it felt. She ran her hand up and down over the length of it, stopping suddenly when she felt a protrusion near the base.

“There’s something wrong with this one.” She said, leaning closer to see what was causing the bump. “There’s something sticking out of it.”

“It’s supposed to, and it does it on both sides.” Tammy said as she made another series of keystrokes. “It’s a G-spot nodule. It extends to stimulate as the penis strokes, or...” She made another adjustment, laughing when Sam jerked her hand away. “It vibrates to add different sensations.”

“Do they all do that?” Sam asked as she put her hand back on the prosthetic, her palm resting on the protrusion.

“They do different tricks, but they all have that feature. Apparently, it was popular with ancient women.” Tammy said. “But check this out.”

Sam jumped back as the penis throbbed and twitched in her hand, and a small spurt of a creamy white liquid erupted from the tip. The penis jerked as it stood on its base, and another burst sprayed from the tip, rising almost six inches in the air.

“Isn’t that kewl?” Tammy laughed. “I always liked the sensation of a guy shooting off inside me, and with Boris, I can have it anytime I want it!”

“So what kind of time table do you have on this, and what’s involved?” Sam asked. “Are you going to be spending alot of time on this? I mean we’re supposed to be looking for information on the Wraith in the database.”

“I’m still doing that.” Tammy said as she shut down the terminal and walked over to the table. She removed the prosthetic from its base and wiped it off with a towel, then put it back in the drawer. “And now that I have an idea what you like, I can finalize the plans and start the process. That’ll take a couple hours tops, then I can start him cooking, and he should be done in thirty-six hours.”

 

 

Interior-Conference Room, Central Tower

Chuck watched the screen on the teaching machine, waiting for the process to end. Caldwell sat in a chair next to him wearing a headset, his eyes closed, a small smile on his face.

When the process ended, Caldwell opened his eyes and looked around, then looked over at Chuck.

“Is that it?” He asked as he took the headset off and sat it on the machine. “When we did the ancient language, I felt it, I mean, I could feel myself thinking in ancient. I don’t feel anything with this. Are you sure it took?”

“You have to have a reference when you get training on a specific skill or how to use a piece of equipment or device.” Chuck told him.

He looked around the room at the others sitting around the table as he opened a file on his tablet. The monitors around the room came on, and he saw heads nodding as he worked through the screens.

“These are the same screens I showed you a few minutes ago.” He said. “Do they make any more sense now?”

“Yeah, it was gibberish when we looked at it earlier.” Sheppard said, picking up his own tablet. He tabbed through the database, then looked up at Chuck in surprise. “You already started that search Tammy asked us about?”

“It only took a minute to set up, so I went ahead and ran it while we were still in the meeting.” Chuck told him. “I pulled the top five hundred, not just the top fifty. But if you want to set your own search up for practice, I can walk you through that.”

“Can you go ahead and walk them through that, just the basic search?” Andi said as she scrolled through the list from Chuck’s search. “Then we can talk about which of these people we want to send where. I’m marking the top four candidates from the personal assistants list to send to Sam and Tammy.”

“Its fairly straightforward. You input the primary characteristic you want, and the range you’re looking for.” He said as he keyed a search in on his tablet, then looked up to make sure that it was mirrored on the monitors. “You can add sub categories, like gender, age, and secondary skills as well. The results can be shown as a list, a chart, or a graph, with the best choices at the top.”

“That seems simple enough.” Caldwell said. “But this just gives us likely candidates based on aptitude. The people we’re looking at probably don’t have any actual training or experience.”

“That’s true, Stephen.” Samuels said, leaning back in her chair. “But it usually takes someone new a few days, if not weeks to adjust to how things are done when you bring them in. And there may be training available on management and some of the other things we need.”

“There is.” Chuck said, blushing slightly as he looked over at Caldwell. “I’ve done a few of them myself. That might be why the scan I showed you was off the scale in some areas.”

“I thought you said that the scan was your basic aptitudes.” Caldwell said. “Are you saying that using the teacher affects that?”

Chuck nodded as he brought up a pair of images on the monitors.

“Whenever you learn something new, whether you’re using the teacher or doing it naturally, your brain makes new pathways, which affects your basic aptitudes.” Chuck told him. “What you already know affects what else you can learn.”

“He’s right, Stephen.” Samuels said. She looked over at the images on the monitor closest to her. “I guess those are before and after images of who, Stephen after his last session on the teacher?”

“Yes, ma’am.” Chuck nodded. “As you can see, there’s a marked change in several areas because of the different training he’s received.”

“Okay.” Sheppard said as he looked around the table. “Now that we know how to use this, can we look at the list Chuck pulled up? Tammy said they wanted the top five, but I think we should give them the top ten, then just alternate them as we go down the list. That way, we all get about the same level of skills.”

“That sounds like a plan.” Caldwell said as he looked over the list. “But we might want to add Pharris and Jennifer since they’re not here right now.”

“Don’t forget Daniel.” Andi added. “He’s going to need people for his education department. And since he doesn’t have the ancient gene either, one of you might want to go ahead and see if you can work up something to find him teachers.”

“So tell me what you have so far, Andi.” Sam said as she came out of the door to the gym. Tammy followed behind her, pushing Geraan and Phinnar ahead of her.

“I’ll be right with you.” Tammy said as she ushered the boys out the door. “I want to get these two dressed real quick. Why don’t you order us something to eat? I could go for a steak, maybe some ribs.”

“I want pizza.” Geraan grumbled as he stepped into the hall.

“How about you, Phinnar?” Tammy laughed. “Pizza okay?”

Phinnar nodded, then took off at a run down the hall. Geraan followed, both of them laughing and whooping as they headed for their room. Tammy grinned over her shoulder, then jogged after them.

“Her inner child lives very close to the surface.” Sam laughed as she sat down at the head of the table. She looked over at Samuels, her face coloring slightly. “She caught them playing doctor yesterday, at least that’s how she put it. And instead of stopping them, she joined in, and let them play doctor on her.”

“That was actually a very healthy thing for her to do.” Andi said as she sat down. “They see you two naked all the time, and I’m pretty sure that they’ve seen you making out, if not making love, so letting them explore a little won’t hurt them. She used the opportunity to explain a few things I hope.”

“Yes I did, Andi.” Tammy laughed as she came into the kitchen. “And to be honest, I was amazed, and a little disappointed with how fast they got bored with me. Phinnar said I smelled funny.”

She turned and keyed the comm, then gave the cook their food order. She glanced back over her shoulder at Sam, and when she nodded, she told the cook that that would be all and closed the comm.

“Its going to take half an hour for the food.” Tammy said as she moved around the table and sat down. She grinned at Sam, then looked over at Andi. “So, you wanna hear more about what the boys did to me, or do you want to tell us what you have for us.”

“I think I should tell you what we’ve gotten done so far.” Andi said, trying not to smile as she glanced over at Sam. “Chuck had already setup a search before we left the meeting, so after he ran us all through the training and gave us an overview on how to use the system, we went through and pulled people for all the departments.”

She paused, glancing down at her tablet, then continued. “He set the search up for the top five hundred, instead of the fifty you said to do, and we pulled the top ten out for you, along with four personal assistants for you to interview. I have someone out contacting them now, and we’ll have them assemble in the conference room in the morning so you can meet them. We’ll set them up in quarters in that building as well.”

“Put our assistants in the suites on forty-two, unless you already have someone in them.” Tammy said. “I think they should be close, since they’re going to be part of the household staff.”

“I can do that.” Andi said, making a note on her tablet. “I have to tell you, we went a little overboard when we were pulling from that list. There were only four of our people on the list, all of them in my department, and we’re going to leave them in place. For the rest, we pulled almost thirty each from the refugee pool, and Chuck already has the first groups on the training machine for the skills they’re going to need.”

“So how many did you get altogether?” Sam asked.

“Not quite a hundred and fifty.” Andi said, grinning broadly. “Sheppard and Caldwell may have had concerns earlier, but once they got a look at the skills list, they were like kids in a candy store.”

“Did you get Pharris over like I asked?” Tammy asked her.

“No, they were tied up, and couldn’t get free. But we got people for her, Jennifer and Daniel.” Andi told her. “I also had Chuck set up a search for teachers for Daniel, since he doesn’t have the gene.”

“That was a good idea.” Sam said. “Have him send that list to Daniel, but copy us, since his department is going to be directly under us. You’ve got too much going as it is, and we may be pulling more out from under you as we grow.”

“I’d suggest doing the intelligence services first. The woman I have running that is very competent, and I think you’ll like her.” Andi said. “She’s one of ours, and was one of the original expedition members.”

“I didn’t know that you had farmed that out, but bring her to dinner tonight so we can meet her.” Tammy said. “I know most of the originals that are still here, so I probably already know her.”

Geraan and Phinnar ran into the room, going around the table to Tammy’s chair.

“There they are! My little warrior and the finest pilot in the galaxy!” She laughed as she turned in her chair and leaned toward them. “Come here and give me a big hug, then we’ll go in the bedroom and play airplane while Sam and Andi talk. How’s that sound?”

The boys laughed happily as she hugged them, then they each took a hand and pulled her up, leading her out of the room.

“She’s so natural with them.” Sam said quietly as she watched them walk down the hall. “I envy her sometimes.”

“She’s more like their sister, or favorite aunt.” Andi said, smiling softly. “You’re the queen, and mother figure.”

“She’s a queen too. I do...”

“No Sam, you are the queen, emphasis on the. Even Tammy acknowledges that.” Andi said seriously. “You were first, and without what you had done with this city and these people, none of this would have been possible. I know it may be getting old, but what Teyla said is right, you are much loved by your people.”

Carter was working at her terminal when Tammy came in and sat down, putting her feet up on a table.

“You were kinda quiet during lunch, then you disappeared in here without saying anything.” She said as she opened her laptop and waited for it to boot up. “You feeling okay?”

“I’m fine.” Carter said, not looking up from her work. “Its just...I don’t know. Seeing the way you are with the boys, then something Andi said...”

“What did she say?” Tammy asked, sitting her laptop down and turning her attention to her.

“She said...she said that you were like their sister, or a favorite aunt, and that I was the queen, and a mother figure.” Carter said, glancing over at her, then going back to her work.

“I can see that.” Tammy said. “I’m alot more relaxed than you are, and I play with them more. They come to you for the mom stuff, and come to me for the fun stuff.”

She leaned back in her chair, smiling over at Sam.

“Who do they go to first thing in the morning, or if they have a problem?” She asked. “Think about it. What does Geraan do every morning when he comes into the kitchen?”

“He buries his face in my lap.” Sam laughed.

“That’s right. And Phinnar is right behind him.” Tammy told her. “They don’t even look at me until they’ve said good morning, or gotten a hug from you.” She paused, frowning slightly, then added, “I get jealous sometimes, you know.”

“Funny you should say that.” Sam laughed, her mood starting to brighten. “I said the same thing to Andi. That’s what prompted her to say what she did.”

“They’re not the only ones that look at us that way, you know.” Tammy said. “Maybe its our personalities, maybe its the fact that you were in command before we took over, but people are more relaxed with me, and more formal with you. Except Daniel, Vala and O’Neill that is, they treat you like family.”

“They are my family.” Sam said with a smile. “And they’re your family too now. I see the way you are with Vala, and Jack treats you like his kid sister.”

“I still don’t get Daniel, but I never got the bookworm type anyway.” Tammy said. “But you’re right about Jack and Vala, they do feel like family already.”

“Don’t worry about Daniel, he likes you, you just have to spend more time with him.” Sam said as she got up and came around the desk. She stopped in front of Tammy and held out her hand. “Come on, let’s go over to your lab, I want to see more about our little fucktoy, Boris. I have some ideas you might like.”

Chuck stepped out of the porter and walked down the row of desks toward the back of the large room. He stopped outside on open door and knocked lightly, then said, “Hey, got a minute?”

“For you? Anytime.” Sandy Wildon said as she looked up from her terminal, giving him a bright smile. “If you want the truth, I can use a break.”

“Good.” Chuck said as he stepped into the office and stood in front of her desk. “I was wondering if you’d like to have dinner with me tonight. I ha...”

Sandy’s smile disappeared, and she got up, coming around the desk to put her arms around him.

“Oh god, I can’t tonight, Chuck.” She said as she pulled him closer to her. “Dr. Samuels wants me to join her for dinner tonight. She said that she wanted me to meet with the queens, and talk to them about something.”

Chuck grinned as he put his hands on her hips, grinding his crotch against hers.

“Tell her no, because you’re going to dinner with me.” He said. “I already have permission from the queens to bring a date, so you can still talk to them. And I promise that I’ll be alot more fun than she will.”

“Am I getting in the way of your social life, Chuck?” Andi said from behind him, laughing as they both turned to look at her. “And are you saying that I’m boring? I think I should resent that.”

Chuck looked over his shoulder at her, his eyes wide, his mouth moving, but noting came out of it.

“I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to eavesdrop, I just wanted to talk to Sandy about dinner.” She said lightly. “But go ahead and go with Chuck, Sandy. He can introduce you to everyone as well as I can, and it will only take a few minutes for what I want to do with the queens.”

She smiled as they both just stared at her.

“Okay, I’ll let you two talk. But remember, dinner is at nineteen hundred in the dining room, we’re having italian.” She said as she turned started to walk away, then turned back. “And Sandy, come see me when you’re done with Chuck. No hurry, I just want to review a few things with you.”

Chuck and Sandy stared at the open door for a moment, then burst out laughing.

“I’m sorry about that, Dr. Samuels.” Sandy said as she stepped into her office. “We didn’t know you were there. But I have to tell you, it was nice getting two different invitations to have dinner with the queens on the same day.”

“I can imagine.” Andi laughed, waving her into a seat. “And its really not a problem. If you want the truth, it works out even better this way.”

“How do you mean, doctor?” Sandy asked as she got settled.

“First, I think its time you started calling me Andi, second, I mean that both your and Chuck’s status points will go up if you show up as a couple, instead of a pair of singles. I think General O’Neill is going to be the only unattached person there tonight.” Andi said. She looked at Sandy for a moment, then added, “I suppose I should ask if you are a couple. I mean, is this serious?”

Sandy smiled at her and said, “I’m not in the rotation anymore, but we get together occasionally. But considering that he asked me to join him for dinner with the queens, I guess he might want to get me back as a regular.”

“I’m not even going to ask what ‘in the rotation’ means.” Andi laughed. “But why don’t you go wrap up whatever you have going and knock off early today so you can go get ready for dinner. Dress is casual, jeans are fine, but no perfumes or colognes, please. And try to be fashionably late, so you can make an entrance. You’ll make a better impression.”

“Hurry up, Chuck.” Sandy said as they stepped out of the porter. “She said to be fashionably late, that’s ten minutes. We’re pushing obscenely late.”

“Would you lighten up?” Chuck laughed as he stopped and looked at himself in one of the mirrored walls. “I impressed the hell out of the colonel and the court this morning, so I think I’ll get some leeway.”

“I wouldn’t bet on that Chucky.” Tammy laughed as she came out of the restroom behind them. “Sam has been asking about you, and Andi says that you have her new...well, I guess I should let them tell her about that.”

She turned and looked at Sandy, her face brightening when she got a good look at her.

Sandy!” She laughed as she went over and hugged her warmly. “I didn’t know you were still in Atlantis. God, I am so sorry I lost touch with you. How have you been? And what are you doing hanging around with the Chucknician?”

“I’ve been fine ma’am.” Sandy said as she hugged her back. “I’ve missed you too. We had some good times that first year. I’m sorry we lost touch too, but we both got so busy with work, it was bound to happen.”

“So tell me the truth.” Tammy said, glancing over her shoulder at Chuck. “Is what they say about him true? I mean is he really as...”

“Better.” Sandy laughed, stepping back and putting her arm around Chuck. “He’s a regular machine. And the tricks he knows! I’m surprised you never gave him a test drive.”

“I meant to, but could never seem to find the time.” She said, grinning over at Chuck. “I may be the only original that hasn’t.”

“There’s quite a few act...” Chuck began, but Tammy cut him off.

“And neither of us cares, Chuck.” She laughed. “But I think we should go in now. They’re already serving, and I love Andi’s lasagna.”

She turned and went into the dining room, and they followed behind her. Tammy walked up behind Sam’s seat, laughing when she heard what was going on.

“I want pizza.” Geraan grumbled as he poked at his plate with his fork.

“We don’t have pizza.” Sam told him. “Put some lasagna on a piece of bread, and pretend its pizza.”

“You liked what we have last time we had it, Geraan.” Tammy said as she knelt down beside his chair. She glanced over at Sam and winked at her. “Do this for me, try a little, and tell me what you think. You have tried it haven’t you?”

Geraan shook his head, his face set in a pout. “I don’t want this, I want pizza.”

“Well, you had pizza for lunch, and this is what we have, so its up to you, no one is going to force you to eat it.” She said as she looked over at Phinnar. “What do you think, Phinnar, do you like it?”

Phinnar nodded as he shoveled a forkful of spaghetti into his mouth, then wiped his plate with a piece of bread and stuffed it in his mouth. Tammy grinned at him as he chewed quickly, then looked up at her from his now empty plate.

“Go ahead.” She laughed. “But get one of the servers to get it for you, okay?”

“Uh huh.” He grunted as he dropped off his chair and ran across the room.

“I found Chuck primping in the foyer.” She said as she stood up and  turned to Sam. “And he has Andi’s assistant with him.” She waved Sandy closer and smiled at Sam. “This is Sandy Wildon, she was one of the original Ops techs, then got moved to sciences, then shifted to admin. From what I heard, she kicked ass everywhere she went, and I know that she was one of Dr. Weir’s favorites. She should do fine for what Andi has in mind.”

Sam stood up, wiping her hands on a napkin and grinned over at Tammy.

“I know Sandy, she’s my go to girl for when I have to get something done.” She laughed as she turned and looked at her, holding out her hand. “How are you Sandy? I’m sorry I’ve been out of touch, but things have been a little weird for the last few weeks, ya know?”

“I’ve been fine ma’am.” Sandy said as she took her hand. “It’s been interesting since we kicked the IOA out, and now, working with Dr. Samuels, I can understand why you don’t get out as much as you used to.”

“I thought I told you to call me Andi, dear.” Samuels said as she walked up. She turned and looked at Chuck. “And I thought I told you to be fashionably, not ridiculously late young man. We’ll have to talk about that later. Why don’t you go get something to eat, we won’t need you for a little while.”

Chuck looked startled, then nodded. He bowed slightly toward the queens, and went over to the buffet.

“It really wasn...” Sandy said.

“I know.” Samuels laughed. “But I can see him getting too big for his britches, and wanted to bring him down a notch or two.

“Judging by the way you greeted her, I take it that both of you know Sandy already?” She said, looking at Sam and Tammy.

“I think she’s a good choice Andi. Like I told Tammy, I went to her when I needed to get  something done. Especially with McKay.” Sam said. “Have you talked to her about what we have in mind?”

“Not yet, I wanted to get your impressions first.” Samuels said.

She looked over at Sandy as she spoke again. “You’ve been running the intelligence services since you came to work for me, and to be honest, I’ve just been rubber stamping what you’ve been sending me for the last few weeks. I spoke to the queens about it this afternoon, and we’d like to formalized it, and make you the head of that department.”

“I...I don’t know what to say.” Sandy stammered. “I’m honored, but I don’t know if...I don’t have any training or field exper...”

“Having operational experience is a plus, but not a necessity for a department head.” Sam reassured her. “Being a competent manager is much more important, and we all agree, you are definitely competent.”

“Sam’s right.” Tammy said. “I think you can handle it. And we’re not going to just throw you in the deep end and see if you can swim. You’ll have assistants to do the leg work, your job is going to be looking at the high level, long range stuff, and directing traffic. You can do that in your sleep.”

“Thank you ma’am. I apprec...”

“I’m sorry to interrupt you Sandy, but there’s one thing we need to get out of the way right now.” Sam said with a soft smile. “We don’t care for that ma’am you keep using. I prefer colonel, and Tammy...well, she’s just Tammy.”

“Yes ma...I’m sorry, colonel.” Sandy said. “This is going to take some getting used to. I’ve been calling you ma’am since we met.”

“That’s my fault Sandy, and I’ll explain later.” Andi laughed, then turned back to Sam and Tammy. “Head of a department of this importance is a court level position, or at least I think so. What do you ladies think?”

“I agree.” Tammy said. “And that calls for a title. I don’t think Lady Sandy sounds any worse than Lady Tammy. What do you think Sam?”

“I think it sounds fine. But we didn’t bring my spoon.” Sam said, looking at Sandy. “I guess we can have someone go get it...”

“We don’t need it Sam, we’re not knighting her, just awarding a title.” Tammy laughed. “But we do have to keep an eye out for likely female candidates. The knighthood is a boys club right now.”

“We’ll get to that.” Sam laughed. “I think Amelia is at the top of the list right now. I just need her to do something. I’m not going to make a woman a knight just to have one. That’s a position that needs to be earned.”

She turned back to Sandy. “But you still haven’t given us an answer. What do you say, hon, do you want the job?”

“This is really a surprise, and would be a big step up for me.” Sandy said, looking back and forth between the three of them. “Can I have a couple days to...”

“No.” Samuels said quickly. “Look Sandy, we all know that you can do the job, because you’ve been doing it. The reason I suggested you for the position is because I want it off my plate, I have enough to do as foreign minister, and more seems to land on my desk every day. So while the queens might be willing to wait for an answer, I’m not.”

“She has a point, Sandy.” Tammy said lightly. “We really need to free Andi up so she can concentrate on the diplomatic situation and planning the coronation. That, and doing everything else we dump on her. It may not seem fair for us to pressure you like this, but we really need an answer.”

“Then I guess I have to say yes.” Sandy said, then frowned suddenly. “Oh god, I have no idea how Chuck is going to take this.”

“Let’s find out.” Sam said as she turned and looked around the room.

“If I could have everyone’s attention please?” She said. She waited a moment before she continued. “In consultation with our foreign minister, we’ve decided to split the intelligence services off into a separate department, which will still work with, but not for the foreign ministry. We’d like to introduce our choice for the head of that department, which will be a court level position.”

She reached back and took Sandy’s hand, pulling her up beside her.

“Ladies and gentlemen, It gives me great pleasure to present to you, the Lady Sandy Wildon. Please make her welcome.”

Polite applause followed her announcement. Sandy was watching Chuck, trying not to smile as he looked back at her with a stunned expression on his face. She frowned when he pushed away from the table and walked toward the door.

Tammy was watching him as well, and intercepted him before he could reach the door.

“Do you have any idea how rude it is to ask someone to dinner then walk out on them?” She said quietly. “I don’t know, or care what you’re thinking right now, but I’m going to tell you that she had no idea that this was going to happen. We blindsided her with it.”

When he didn’t reply, she went on.

“You can leave if you want, but before you do, you’re going to go over there and congratulate her. And you’re going to look like you mean it.” She said, leaning closer. “If you still want to leave, you’re going to apologize and tell her that something came up, you can blame me if you want. Personally, I think you’re an idiot if you do. Now give me your arm and look like you’re having a good time.”

“Yes ma’am.” He said quietly. He looked at her for a moment then added, “I was going to come back, I was just going to step out for a few minutes, and see if I could get my head around this. It kind of took me by surprise.”

“Whatever Chuck.” Tammy said as she turned and led him back over to the group. By the time they got there, everyone was crowding around Sandy, and it took a few minutes for them to get close to her.

Sandy smiled when she saw him, and he grinned back as he put his arms around her.

“Congratulations Sandy.” He said, then kissed her on the cheek. “I can’t think of anyone that could the job better. They made an excellent choice.”

“Thank you Chuck, that means alot coming from you.” she said, then leaned closer, her voice lower when she spoke again. “Tell me the truth, were you going to leave? You didn’t look too happy when you walked away.”

He shook his head and smiled. “No, I was going to go out to the foyer, maybe the restroom and try to get my head together. That was quite a shock, hearing the colonel announce your appointment like that.”

“Then imagine how I feel.” She said softly as she stepped back. “They offered me the job, and said they needed an answer right away. Then I see you stalking off...”

“It wasn’t like that, honest...”

“Excuse me, but are you going to hog our newest court member for the entire evening?” O’Neill asked as he came up beside them.

“Well, she is my date general, so...”

“Excellent! Then you have all night.” O’Neill grinned at him. 

“I don’t know if you’re aware of it or not,” he said, taking Sandy’s arm and leading her away. “But I spent more than ten years with the SGC, and worked with the...”

Chuck stared after them as they walked over and stood next to one of the windows. He turned and started back for his seat, and almost ran into Andi, who was now standing next to him.

“I think its time we had that little talk I mentioned earlier.” She said coolly as she glared at him. “Wouldn’t you agree?”

“I...”

“I don’t think Chuck can take much more this evening, Andi.” Tammy laughed as she came over and put her arm around him. “We blindsided him by promoting his date, then I shit on him because I thought he was going to leave, O’Neill looks like he’s hitting on her, and now you want to rip him a new one. What do you say you wait till tomorrow, when he’s had a chance to recover?”

“Thank you.” Chuck said, then looked over toward where Sandy and O’Neill were standing by the windows. “But did you say...”

“Sure did, and by the looks of things, I’d say she’s open to the idea.” Tammy laughed. “You may be going home alone tonight, Chuck.”

“I think that was going to happen anyway.” He mumbled. “I kind of thought she would be too though.”

“What are the three of you talking about over here?” Sam asked as she came over. “From across the room, it looks pretty serious. Did Chuck come up with something else for us?”

“’fraid not Sam.” Tammy told her. “Chuck’s not having a very good night, I don’t think he’s feeling very well. I was about to suggest that he go home and get some rest, and maybe he’ll feel better in the morning.”

“I’m sorry to hear that Chuck. I had a few things I wanted to talk to you about, but that can wait till tomorrow.” Sam said.

“Thank you, colonel.” Chuck said softly. He paused for a moment looking at her. “Do you mind if I ask why you didn’t give me a title when you promoted me? As near as I can tell, everyone else here tonight is a sir, lord or lady something or other.”

“I thought about that too Chuck, I guess it just slipped our minds.” Sam told him, looking back at him evenly. “But we did give you a title, you’re our city manager. And we only have one of those.”

“The lords and ladies are all honorary titles.” Tammy added. “Because we don’t have anything else to give them. We gave you your dream job, and our city to play with to your hearts content.”

Chuck nodded and smiled at her. “And I’m still trying to come up with ways to thank you for that.”

“You’re doing fine, and please, keep it up.” Tammy laughed. “But I’ll make you a deal. If you can get Anchorage repaired and flying in the next twelve months, I’ll make you an earl, and give you the next ancient outpost we find once you do.”

“Tammy!” Andi said, unable to believe her ears. “You can’t do that! Do you have any idea wha...”

“I like that idea.” Sam said. “Just look at the scale of what we’re asking him to do, Andi. Granted, that city is in better condition than any of us could have hoped, but its still in bad shape.”

“Just to make sure I understand what you’re saying,” Chuck said, looking back and forth between Sam and Tammy. “If I can get Anchorage to fly, you’ll make me an earl, and give me an ancient outpost to do whatever I want with, is that accurate?”

“In space. It won’t do us any good to be able to fly it around that planet. So it has to be space worthy.” Tammy said. “And as an earl, you would still be subject to our domain, and the laws of Atlantis.”

“Of course, without the backing of Atlantis, a standalone outpost wouldn’t stand a chance.” Chuck said. He paused, then grinned at them. “But tell me something, how do you feel about polygamy?”

“He actually asked you how you felt about polygamy?” O’Neill asked as he leaned back on the couch. Sandy sat next to him, her hand resting on his leg.

“Yes.” Sam laughed as she picked up a shot glass from the table and tossed it back. “And I’m pretty sure he was serious too.”

“Oh, he was serious alright.” Sandy said. “I don’t know how much any of you know about him, but most of the women in Atlantis have slept with him at one time or another. He has thirty or so in the rotation, and it’s not unusual for him to do a two or three a day.”

“Two or three a day?” O’Neill asked. “are you serious?”

“That’s what I heard too.” Jennifer pitched in. “Apparently he has an unusually high testosterone level. I looked at his records when I heard about him, but there’s no history of STD’s or infections.”

“I think he’s immune. He likes to ride bareback.” Sandy said, then took a sip of her wine.

“Bareback?” O’Neill asked.

“I’ll show you later if you’d like, Jack.” Sandy said, snuggling closer.

Tammy laughed as Sam tried not to choked on her drink. She patted her on the back, then picked up two more shots, handing one to Sam, and tossing the other back.

“So um...are uh, you in this rotation thing?” O’Neill asked.

“I used to be.” Sandy laughed, running her hand up and down his leg. “But if you want the truth, he’s really not my type. I mean, he’s good in bed and all, but I prefer older, more worldly men. There’s something about a silver haired military type that just gets my motor running.”

“I’d say its in overdrive right now.” Tammy whispered to Sam, making her giggle.

“But I have to get up early in the morning.” Sandy said, turning to Sam and Tammy. “I’d like to meet with you and Andi tomorrow to talk about what you have in mind as far as what the job involves, and there’s the Genii spy issue to discuss as well.”

“The Genii have spies here?” Sam asked.

“At least thirty that we’ve identified so far, but there are probably more.” Sandy said, standing up and making a show of stretching in front of O’Neill. “We’ve been isolating them as we confirm that they are Genii agents. I’m surprised Andi hasn’t’ said anything to you about them.”

“No, she hasn’t.” Sam said. “I’d remember something like that. I’ll have to ask her about them, and see if there’s anything else she hasn’t felt the need to share.”

Sandy turned to O’Neill, smiling as she held out her hand.

“Come on, Jack, you can walk me home.” she said. “I’d like to talk to you about a job opening we have, and given your experience, I think there may be a couple other openings I want you to look at that you might be interested in. I’m pretty sure you’ll be able to fill them to my satisfaction.”

“Oh my gawd.” Jennifer said under her breath. “I can’t believe she just said that.”

“Uh...sure.” O’Neill said as he stood up. He brushed the front of his pants casually, trying to hide his erection. “We can do that. But keep in mind, I am a retiree, so...”

“From what I’ve seen in the gym recently Jack, you’re in the best shape you’ve been in years.” Tammy laughed as she stood up, then turned and pulled Sam to her feet. “I’m moving this party into the kitchen, I like it better in there, it’s just more comfortable. Jack and Sandy, we’ll see you tomorrow. The rest of you, follow me.”

“I really don’t want to go home, Jack.” Sandy said as she pressed him against the porter wall. “I’d rather go to your place. I have a roommate, and I’d really like to be alone with you right now.”

“Um...I have a roo...”

“But you have your own room don’t you?” She asked him as she nibbled on his ear, her hands running over his chest. One of her hands dropped down and brushed across the front of his pants, her fingers groping at the rigid shaft of his cock. “And you want to be alone with me too...don’t you, Jack?”

“Whoa!” O’Neill said, easing her away then reaching over to tap in the symbols for his quarters. “This is a little sudden, and I’m not used to women, especially younger women, coming on to me like this.”

The porter doors opened and he led her down the hall to his suite. The doors swished opened as he palmed the pad, and he leaned in, glanced around the living room, and sighed with relief when he saw that it was empty.

“Well, you’d get used to it pretty quick if you got out into the general population a little more often.” Sandy laughed as she followed him into the suite. “I know a couple dozen that would love to get their hands on you.” She looked around as he led her into the kitchen. “This is a nice place. Who else lives here?”

“Bra’tac shares it with me, but he must be over a Pharris’ place tonight. And the boys, Geraan and Phinnar stay over a few nights a week.” He told her as he opened a cabinet, then held up a bottle of scotch.

Sandy nodded, and O’Neill got glasses, sitting them on the table, then pouring them both drinks.

“So how long has it been since a woman hit on you, Jack?” Sandy asked him, taking a sip of her drink.

“Oh, that happens all the time.” O’Neill laughed. “But it’s been a little over two years since I took one up on it. I had some issues to work out.”

“So did you get them worked out? I mean, are you ready to let another woman into your life?”

“I think they got worked out for me, and yeah, I think I’m ready for another woman in my life.” He said. “But I’ve never been one for one ni...”

“I don’t just want a one night stand, Jack.” Sandy said softly, stepping closer and letting him feel her presence. “I wouldn’t be here if that’s all I wanted. I’m looking for something better, and I think you might be able to give it to me.”

She put her finger to his lips as he started to speak, giving him a sly smile.

“And don’t give me any crap about me being too young for you.” She said softly. “I’m the same age as one woman I know you’ve been interested in. So what do you say we go see if we get along in bed, and worry about the other stuff later?”

“So what do you think, is he gonna get some?” Tammy laughed as she sat a bottle of tequila on the table, then took her seat.

“I don’t know.” Sam laughed, smacking Tammy’s hand. “Jack’s an old fashioned kind of guy, so I’m not sure. She was coming on pretty hard though, he may not be able to resist.”

“Coming on pretty hard? Are you kidding me?” Jennifer gasped. “If she had come on any harder, they would have been doing it in front of us!”

“I’m more interested in what she said about Genii spies.” Caldwell said. “You would think that Samuels would have shared information like that.”

“I am not surprised that the Genii have spies here. They have spies everywhere.” Teyla said, laying her head on his shoulder. She yawned then added, “But I too am surprised that Andi has not shared this information.”

“I think its just something else that slipped through the cracks, or she wasn’t ready to make accusations.” Sheppard said quietly. “That’s one of the things I like about her, She makes sure her ducks are all in a row before she starts shooting them.”

“Andi does do things at her own pace, and only shares information when she’s ready.” Tammy said, glancing over at Sam. “And we keep dumping more on her everyday. That’s why we took the intelligence services out from under her. As a matter of fact, it was her idea.”

“I don’t think we should jump to any conclusions until we see just what they know.” Sam said, looking around the table. “Andi isn’t comfortable in the military arena, and may feel the same way about the intelligence services. Let’s see what they say in the morning, and go from there.”

“Go ahead, Jack.” Sandy whispered as she knelt between his legs on the bed. She was running her hand up and down over the throbbing length of his cock, her tongue lashing at the swollen knob, lapping up the sticky pearls of pre-cum dripping from his piss slit. “Cum for me. I want to see it, feel it, taste it. Come on, Jack, cum so we can fuck!”

Her mouth opened as her head plunged down, engulfing half his cock. She started sucking frantically, her fist a blur on the spit slickened shaft as her lips sucked and slurped up and down over it.

“Oh god!” O’Neill groaned as his balls convulsed, tightening up against the base of his cock. His eyes rolled back in his head and his hips arched up towards her hungrily sucking mouth, forcing more of his cock between her lips as he started to cum.

A loud moan escaped Sandy’s throat as the first hot jets of jizz sprayed across her tongue and
the roof of her mouth. Her throat worked busily as she swallowed as fast as she could, eager to milk off his first load so she could feel his cock inside her.

“Shit, Jack!” She laughed when she pulled her mouth off his cock, licking up the creamy drops of cum around her mouth. She crawled up over him straddling his waist and guiding the spit slickened knob of his cock into the juice dripping slit of her cunt. “How long have you been holding that in? I thought you were going to drown me for a minute there!”

O’Neill groaned as she fit the head of his cock between the lips of her pussy, then eased down onto it, letting the throbbing shaft bull up inside her. His hips jerked mindlessly as the sensitive skin on the glans glided up into the cream soaked depths of her cunt.

“Mmmmmm, do you like that, Jack?” Sandy purred as she laid out on him, her small, firm breast pressing into his chest. “I think you do. You cock isn’t getting soft at all.”

O’Neill wrapped his arms around her as his lips sought hers. His hands settled on the cheeks of her ass, holding her as he started working his hips, stroking his cock slowly in and out of her.

“That’s right, Jack.” Sandy whispered, grinding her cock stuffed cunt down to meet his strokes. “Nice and slow, we’ve got all night.”

“So do you think Sandy can get O’Neill to fuck her?” Tammy panted, arching her back as she cupped one breast, her fingers pinching the nipple roughly. Her other hand was between her legs, strumming over her clit as she worked her hips in slow circles.

“uhnnf ghoon uffm scoolm wloood.” Sam mumbled, her hands gripping the cheeks of Tammy’s ass, pulling her up higher over her face. She drove her tongue as deep as she could up into the juice dripping slit of her cunt, sucking hungrily, then turned her head, taking one puffy pussylip between her teeth, nipping it lightly.

“I bet he’s fucking her right now.” Tammy panted. She moved her hand down, wrapping her fingers in Sam hair, pulling her head up as she centered her clit over her mouth. “Suck my clit baby. Suck on it, and make me cum!”

“Igmms obommc woobs plaam uh.” Sam grunted as she sucked the tender nubbin between her lips and started nibbling on it.

“I know.” Tammy laughed, humping her pussy harder onto her face. “I like it when you cum in my mouth too...”
