Sam nodded as she leaned against the tabletop while Fred explained how things were going with the power upgrade. At Rodney's comment about the issues they'd been having since saving Sam Beckett, she looked over at him and sighed. She knew that he wouldn't have really left anyone lost in time, but he was Rodney, and he never could admit something like that. He probably even actually respected Doctor Beckett.
Turning back to Fred, she nodded at her question. "I would, yes," she said. "I know the IOA is going to be asking questions about what we're doing, so it would probably be a good idea for me to see everything. Just in case they ask."
"You'd think the IOA would have given up by now," Rodney sighed as he picked up his tablet. He popped a few jelly beans in his mouth before putting them away in his drawer.
Just then, Radek's voice came over Rodney's headset. "I'm set up in the Control Room whenever the two of you are done trying to kill each other."
Rodney rolled his eyes. "We're on our way, Radek." He cut the channel and looked at Sam and Fred. "We should probably get upstairs before Radek tries to do this on his own."
Sam bit back a retort that Radek might be better off without him. "Let's go then." As they walked out of the lab, she called Daniel on her headset. "Hey, sweetie, I'm going to be a little longer. Going to oversee the Gate upgrade, then I'll be coming home."
